Probably, this is one of the most difficult questions that new settlers ask themselves. After all, the furniture should be comfortable, reliable, meet the style of the apartment, the tastes of the owner and have a reasonable price.

  Choice of furniture

To describe how to combine these requests is not enough and the book. But there is one simple rule - the furniture should be in the same style and correspond to the design of the apartment. For example, a classic wardrobe does not look high-tech in a room, and so on. Everything else is at your discretion.

95. How to choose upholstered furniture in the apartment?

Leather (imitation leather) furniture should not be white or very light. She looks beautiful only in the cabin. In the apartment in 2 years she will already be gray and have a lot of spots that can not be cleaned with anything, unless the hostess shakes over her and forbids everyone to touch her.

  Choice of furniture

The problem is that, most often, the upholstery is not carried out in the form of covers, but nailed to the hull. It has to be cleaned directly on the furniture. In hard to reach places it is simply impossible.

If you have a cat or a dog in your house, it is better to refuse from leather furniture. Traces of animal claws on the skin are immediately visible and cannot be removed.

The skin has another drawback - it is unpleasant to lie on it. At first, it is cold (even the most expensive), and then it overheats strongly from your body and you feel hot. You sweat a lot. We have to lay a blanket or blanket.

Indisputable advantages of the skin are its neat, expensive look and hypoallergenic. It does not accumulate dust. It can be washed.

And yet, upholstered furniture upholstered in high-quality fabrics made from natural fibers, especially with the use of covers, is much more practical. Synthetic fabrics in furniture upholstery worse than leatherette.

Folding sofas and chair beds should have modern mechanisms that do not stick in six months. As a rule, it can be seen by price. A good sofa can not cost 20,000 rubles. Its price starts from 50,000-70000 rubles.

Also, quality folding furniture should be easy to fold out. At the very least, a woman should do it in two ways.

Sometimes the quality of the furniture can be determined by the upholstery of the rear walls and the bottom. If it is made of cheap fabric and made carelessly, you can immediately abandon such furniture.

96. How to distinguish natural leather from leatherette?

There are only two ways to distinguish one from the other.

1. If you touch the natural skin to the touch, then after a moment it heats up from the warmth of the hand, and the leather substitute remains cool for a while.

2. Pay attention to the skin pattern. Genuine leather will never have a repetitive pattern, so adjacent patches will always be different from each other.

There are no other real ways to distinguish natural skin from "kozhzam", whatever the seller in the store would tell you.

97. How to choose furniture in the apartment?

Cabinet furniture on the market represented a large number. But very often the price does not match its quality. Why this situation has developed in our country is difficult to understand. Most likely the market is flooded with small companies that are not ready to monitor the quality of products.

  Choice of furniture

Of course quality furniture should be made of solid wood, but its cost is quite high, but the service life exceeds 50-100 years. Remember grandmothers dressers or cupboards. They are still in excellent condition and can last more than a dozen years.

The fact is that in their manufacture only natural wood and veneer were used, polishing was done with resins on a natural basis, only natural glue was used. All these materials have similar moisture absorption characteristics. Being in the apartment, the details of such furniture do not change their geometric dimensions (do not crack and do not swell) for decades. From that they have a long service life.

Furniture life of MDF (MDF - medium density fiberboard) and chipboard (laminated chipboard) does not exceed 5-10 years.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the mechanisms - hinges, hinges, latches, etc. - they must be made in Europe. The quality of Chinese products does not hold water.

Talking about the price of good furniture is difficult. Just try not to save and carefully study each item before you buy.

98. How to choose built-in furniture in the apartment?

The best option would be a scheme developed by the designer of apartment renovation together with you at the very beginning.
