Simply Sofas - So Fa So Good

In the context of interior décor, achieving a harmonious balance between different furniture pieces requires a discerning eye and a creative touch. When done effectively, one can create spaces that exude elegance, style, and individuality.  In this article, we touch upon the types of furniture to mix according to different zones in the house to create a cohesive and visually appealing interior. The Foyer The entryway sets the tone for the home and serves as the first impression for guests. A functional console table or entryway bench helps keep it organised, as does a coat stand that ensures the space remains clutter-free. Including a decorative mirror here is a good idea as it opens up the space and reflects light. The Grand Living Room This zone of the house offers the freedom to combine different furniture pieces to create a luxurious and inviting space. A popular combination is a large sectional sofa paired with a three-seater sofa and two armchairs, offering ample seating ...

The aftermath of World War II brought about profound changes in Europe, not only in terms of politics and economics but also in the realm of design. The furniture industry was no exception, as the war had a significant impact on materials, aesthetics, functionality, and the sentiment of the people.  In Italy , the post-World-War-II era was marked by innovative design. By then, the slow development of the Italian economy in the twentieth century was overcome, and Italian designers began to experiment with new materials and forms. Soon, Italian furniture design gained international success.  In Scandinavia , the war sparked a design trend that emphasised simplicity, functionality, and natural materials – design that was democratic, minimal, intimate, and focused on the home and family, not the State. The term 'Scandinavian design' also reflected the solidarity between the Nordic countries, which, despite their dissimilar histories, cultures, and even geographical features, grew ...

When individuals achieve a coveted position of affluence and authority, their perception of furniture undergoes a remarkable transformation. Beyond mere aesthetically-gratifying and purposeful objects, furniture must now become a reflection of their life journey and personal style. Interestingly, at such a juncture, luxury furniture becomes objects of value, ones that satiate a deep, emotional need – the need to pass on something valuable to those dearest. But then, there’s the wise mantra of living in the moment and enjoying the fruits of one’s hard work. So, the question, can these two dichotomous thoughts find a unified realisation? Here are fourteen original furniture designs made in Europe , ranging from the visually and functionally striking to the architecturally significant, that help you create a lasting legacy.
