Picking out furniture and creating the right look can be painstaking business. Here are a few handy tips on how to make the right choice.

Know your Furniture
Furniture is something we all take for granted. We buy furniture that merely looks appealing or fits a budget. But much lies to be understood on the ‘inside stuff’.

Wooden Frame
A kiln-dried hardwood frame is a must in ensuring durability in your piece of upholstery. A good frame is joined using dowels as well as corner blocks glued and screwed together. The legs are an integral part of the frame and center legs are used for additional support.

Fabric
Each fabric has unique attributes that must be considered while making a selection and it would be based on the planned usage of the piece. In addition to their look and feel, factors that must reflect on your judgment are wearability, cleanability and sensitivity to direct sunlight. At Indroyal we use elegant fabrics like American Velvet, Jackard and Shinyil and classy fabrics like leather.

Color your world
Research reveals all human beings make a subconscious judgment about a person, environment or item within 90 seconds of initial viewing and that between 62% and 90% of that assessment is based on color alone, reports Color Communications Inc., a leading provider of color standards to paint, automotive, textile and other industries.

Color not only affects how you’re perceived but also how you feel about yourself. Color choices are deeply personal and the feelings different colors give us are very real.

In your home, the colors you use can enhance energy, soften a space or even lend a feeling of warmth. For every decor and style, there are perfect color companions to express what you want to say. It cannot be denied that we project emotions and personalities with colors.

In the blue
Blue is universally perceived as relaxing and calming because of the cool tranquility of blue sky and azure waters. The various shades and combinations of blue with other colors set a certain mood and can do wonders while decorating.

Opulent orange
It might take courage to use pure yellow or orange, but the results are striking when done well. Orange, enjoying a major comeback, has become highly visible, energizing contemporary furniture and accessories. At the other end of the decorating spectrum, historical or traditional rooms in upscale magazines like Architectural Digest often showcase true yellow walls and elegant woodwork in high-contrast white.

Raging Red
Red is vital, ambitious and audacious, a passionate color with intense symbolism. The sight of red actually stimulates the body to increase circulation and raise blood pressure. It's energizing and emotional, attention grabbing and appealing, fiery and feisty. Go wild with colors to give your home a trendy yet earthy look with shades of red and brown.

Serene Green
Nature provides us with an array of beautiful colors to feast our eyes on. And green is one color that defines nature's bounty. On the decorating front, green offers a wide range of opportunities. Softened by brown or grey to near-neutral status, greens are somewhat less dramatic but with great character. Rich, nearly black green of dressy velvets or the sophisticated serenity of moss or lichen linen do wonders. In fact a sublet sage green on your sofas provide the perfect backdrop for cushions with splashes of bright accent colors. For endless color options, just go for green.

Decorating on a budget
Who says decorating is an expensive affair? Go for a couple of sensible ways to accessorize within your budget range.

• Make a budget, either for the whole living space or by individual room. Then create a list of what you have, what you need, and what you'd like to upgrade.
• Don't feel as if you have to fill each room with furniture right away. Versatile pieces, such as chairs, can float between rooms from dining, to home office, to the living room when you're entertaining guests.
• Make a list of what a room will be used for and shop for furnishings that combine several of them. For example, a sofa table is the perfect height to use as a small bar or buffet when you entertain guests.
• Focus on finding a terrific looking bed to make the bedroom feel complete. Everything else dressers, nightstands and chests can be added over time. An eclectic mix will make your home cozy and unique.
• Place a bookcase in the dining area to hold China and serving pieces. Later, when you upgrade to a China cabinet or sideboard, the bookcase can easily transition to another area of your home.
• Choose a dining table that will give you choices later. When it's time to redecorate or move to a larger home, you may find your smaller scale table, or table with a removable expansion leaf, is just right for the kitchen or another room.
