Some people prefer to have their house or living space thoroughly furnished while others prefer a more simple, uncluttered home with only the most necessary of furnishings.
Whatever your personal style, here is the five most essential furniture items to have in your home.
#Sofa or Sofa-Bed
The sofa is the heart of your home. This is where the family likes to relax together, this is where movie night happens with friends, even old fashioned game nights.
Sofas bring opportunities for all types of gatherings and investing in a good sofa is essential to any home.

Add a touch of class with a classic yet modern chesterfield sofa in possibly in high quality velvet. Chesterfield sofa are just immaculate in velvet, instantly adding character to your space whilst maintaining superior comfort.
When choosing a sofa for your room think about size, colors and texture. We recommend to stick to a neutral color palette that you can then add pillows in your favorite accent colors. Neutral colour sofas can be treated as a blank canvas where you can decorate using throws and cushions making your living room space more unique.
#Dining Table
Dining Tables would be our next recommendation. Especially for larger families, a dining table is essential. Most of us use our dining tables at least twice a day. Using wood as the primary material can bring warmth and in turn calms the mind.
Sometimes space can be limited for a large dining table so we recommend choosing a table that fits in your space whilst being able to expand to accommodate more seats just in case you have guests over for dinner.
Your space might be enough but for big family gatherings its important to consider a square or a round table so that you can make the most of the convivial energy and feelings.
#Dining Chairs
When it comes to Dining Chairs don’t just get a matching set. Sometimes it fun to create some form of variety. Place captain chairs at both end of the table completely unique from the rest.
Each chair affects your emotions differently so choose something that brings a sense of home to your space.
#Comfy BED
If any piece of furniture in our home should reflect our style, it should be the bed. Having good quality sleep goes hand in hand with quality living.
