WHAT IS FURNITURE

Furniture is movable objects in a room that are used for
sitting, sleeping ,dining function, and for decoration. Furniture
makes a room more comfortable for those in it.                                                           
                                                                                                         
 FURNITURE : SUB CATEGORIES        LIVING: A living room is a room in a home that's used for entertaining friends, talking, reading, or watching
television. If you're a couch potato, you most likely spend lots of time in your living room. You can also call a living
room a lounge, a sitting room, a front room, or a parlour.

BEDROOM: Bedroom furniture, sometimes called a bedroom set or bedroom suite consists of a group
of furniture in a bedroom and it consist of beds, wardrobes, dressers, chests, nightstands, armoires, vanities,
trunks, mattress and mirrors.

DINING: A dining room is a room for consuming food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for
convenience in serving.

ACCESSORIES: These accessories include such items as coffee table ,side table, nest table, cloth hangers, wall
shelf decorative craft products made of wood, wrought iron, and so on. These items are commonly used in indoor
furnishings.
 HOME OFFICE: The major and most popular office furniture are chair, table, cabinets, cupboards, sofas, racks etc.
 What materials is used for furniture?
Several types of material are used to produce furniture. The most commonly used materials include particleboard, MDF, plywood, veneer sheets, furniture board, and lumber. Once you get a clear picture of each material, it is easier to choose the best ones to make your furniture out of.     Solid wood: Is wood that has been cut from a tree. Unlike engineered wood, which is composed
of wood fibers that are held together with adhesives, solid wood contains wood fibers throughout the piece
of lumber. Solid wood is often used for furniture, construction, cabinetry and flooring.

Plywood: Is wood veneers bonded together to produce a flat sheet. An extremely versatile
product, plywood is used for a wide range of structural, interior and exterior applications - from formwork
through to internal panelling.

Medium-density fibreboard (MDF): Is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or
softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and
forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure.[1] MDF is generally more dense
than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres.

Particle board: Also known as chipboard, is an engineered wood product manufactured from wood chips or
jute-stick chips and a synthetic resin or other suitable binder, which is pressed and extruded. How to start designing furniture?        A Diploma or Bachelor's degree in furniture design, interior design, product design, industrial design or architecture is almost always a prerequisite for employment in this role. At the National Design Academy, we provide an online accredited short course in furniture design that offers a window into this field.            What Should I Look For When Buying Furniture?
Buying furniture is a significant investment of not only money but also time, and effort, and keeping certain factors in mind while buying furniture include the following:

- Dimensions: In order to choose the right furniture for your home, it is important to ensure that you plan your space out properly, which involves making sure that you have all your measurements sorted. This includes measuring your doorways and hallways, as well as elevator dimensions (if you live in a building). Be sure to measure the height, width and depth of your furniture.

- Theme and design: Another important aspect of buying furniture is envisioning how you want your room to look like, and selecting furniture based on that. Factors including material, color and design of the furniture should ideally complement the theme of the room(s) you are seeking to furnish.

- Lifestyle (children and pets): If you happen to have children or pets, you'd want to buy furniture that safeguards against spills, stains, fur, crumbs, etc. Fabrics to aim for include tightly woven patterns and textures, as well as darker colors, and fabrics to avoid include velvet and silk.

- Maintenance: While choosing and buying furniture, ensure that you're fully aware of the level of maintenance you're looking to put in. High-end wood furniture, for instance, tends to require a significant level of care and maintenance depending upon factors such as finish, while low maintenance furniture may not require the same level of care and maintenance.

Q. How Can You Tell If Furniture Is Good Quality?
Furniture tends to be a long-term investment usually, which means you want to ensure that what you're buying will last at least a couple of years and that you're getting value for your money's worth. Here are a few ways to verify if furniture is of good quality and standing:

- Warranty: Well-made furniture for long term usage is best purchased with a warranty, which is usually a mark of reliability and trustworthiness.

- Finish: The finer details can make or break the overall look of your home, which is why it is a good idea to pay attention to the finishing of the furniture you're purchasing, including details such as wood finish or the detailing on the fabric, as it tends to be an accurate reflection of the quality of the piece.

- Weight: The heaviness of a furniture piece does not directly correlate with its quality, and it isn't to say that high quality furniture is heavy and low-quality furniture is lightweight and flimsy, but it definitely is to say that the closer a piece of furniture weighs to how it looks, the more likely it is for it to be of better quality.

Q. How To Choose Furniture Style Quality?
Gaining inspiration for the right style of furniture for your home is a big decision, given that furniture tends to be a long-term purchase, which is why the theme and style of the furniture you choose must be a well-thought out-decision. Common furniture styles broadly include:

Casual- timeless, easygoing, neutral tones.

Modern or contemporary- fluid, nonconforming, geometric form, open space, glass, chrome, abstract accessories.

Country or rustic- Warm décor, wood, vintage-inspired, organic appeal.

Old-fashioned or traditional- French and English styles, Baroque, Rococo, Romantic and Neoclassical.

Bespoke- Individualized, customized.

Minimalist- Bare necessities, functionality, flat, monochromatic.
