Your clients trust you to pick the perfect furnishings for their homes, but it can be challenging to find the right pieces for every situation. The field of interior design is constantly changing, but it is important to keep these factors in mind when you are selecting furniture for a client’s home.

Style

First, consider the style of the room and the house as a whole before you begin shopping for furniture. You want the house to have a sense of flow and continuity from one room to the next.

The right furniture items will add to the style and overall beauty of the home. Complete the look of each room by adding coordinating wall hangings and accessories.

Functionality

Stylish pieces are great, but the furniture also needs to be functional. Consider the needs of the family when choosing furniture. A client who has several young children will have very different furniture needs from clients who are designing a home for their retirement years.

Picture where the furniture will be placed in the room to get a more complete idea of its functionality. For instance, if your couch will sit underneath interior window shutters that are always open, you will want to find upholstery that can withstand direct sunlight without fading.

Longevity

Your clients want to purchase high quality furniture that will last for a long time. This helps them realize the value of their investment. When you examine a piece of furniture, don’t just look at its style and color. Carefully examine the furniture to ensure that it has quality construction.

Budget

It will not do you any good to find incredible pieces that your clients cannot afford. Show respect for their budgets by finding beautiful, high quality pieces that are also affordable. If you splurge on one piece of furniture, try to keep costs low for the rest of the room.

Uniqueness

Finally, you should consider the uniqueness of a piece when selecting it for your clients. You do not want all of your clients’ homes and rooms to look the same. If you are working with clients that want a one of a kind look, expand your search to include antique stores and custom craftsmen.

Choosing the right furniture is not always easy, but it is worth all of the hard work when the project is complete. When your clients love their rooms, they will spread the word about your interior design services.
