Decorating or updating your home with new furniture can be a fun and exciting project. While finding the perfect couch can be satisfying, learning that it won’t fit your living room can quickly bring you down. That’s why furniture experts strongly advise that you measure for your new furniture before you begin your home décor hunt. By taking down all pertinent measurements, you’ll be sure to find good looking furniture that fits in your home.
Take Down All Dimensions
If you plan to update your home with new furniture, take a moment to measure your existing pieces. If you buy replacements that are too big, you may turn an otherwise comfortable room into a claustrophobic one. To avoid that scenario, it’s important to know exactly how big you can go with your new furniture. To get the right-sized furniture, take down the height, length, and width of all pieces, and take a general measurement of each room.
Organize Your Results
Once you have all the necessary measurements, you’ll want to store them in an easily accessible place. Some shoppers choose to type out their measurements and print them out on a piece of paper. Others upload their measurements into their smartphones. Whichever method you choose, make sure it is reliable—that way, you don’t have to measure your furniture a second time.
Consider the Décor Arrangement
Take a look around your home. Is it as spacious as you would like? If your current decorative scheme leaves little room to freely roam about, you may want to consider either purchasing smaller furniture pieces or rearranging them to maximize space. Many people see furniture as an investment they plan to keep for years or even decades—if you count yourself among them, make sure that you have enough room for your investments.

Kids’ rooms allow both parents and their children the opportunity to engage their imagination. This video offers some helpful tips for creating a unique and fun child’s bedroom.
The first step in decorating your child’s room is seeing what he or she wants. For example, if your child loves flowers, you can create a floral-themed space. Next, you must choose your color scheme. Cool shades like green and blue can be soothing for children. Alternately, warm, bright hues like orange and yellow can provide a jolt of energy for kids. Lastly, no matter what colors you choose, be sure to select paint materials and furniture that are safe and kid-friendly.
The Home Consignment Center of Calabasas has a wide selection of children’s furniture for our Southern California customers. Call us today at (818) 880-8331 to speak with a Home Consignment Center associate about your furniture needs.

No living room is complete without a coffee table. Though many may consider the couch to be the predominant living room element, the coffee table is equally essential. This versatile piece of furniture can add both beauty and utility to your living room space. That’s why it’s important to carefully consider your reasons for getting a coffee table, as they can greatly influence your choice of furniture.
Consider Wear and Tear
Do you have children or pets? Do you entertain often? These are just two questions to think about when selecting your new coffee table. Coffee tables come in all shapes, sizes, and materials, but some coffee tables are more suitable for high volume usage than others. For instance, if you have small children, a glass coffee table with sharp edges is not the most practical choice. However, a hardwood coffee table can hold up beautifully with little chance for breakage. The appeal of some wooden coffee tables may even appreciate with gentle wear and tear.
Determine Its Purpose
For some, the coffee table may be a defining element in their home. For others, it serves only to complement the existing décor. Make sure you know what role you want your coffee table to play before you begin your search. Too many bold pieces can disrupt the harmony of your living room, while an overly subtle coffee table may simply disappear among your other furniture.
Make Sure It Fits
Don’t forget to take all necessary measurements before you start the shopping process. Your coffee table should allow ample space to and from all exits and seating areas in your living room. If you plan to place decorative elements on your coffee table, you may also want to consider height measurements to avoid obstructing your view of the television or windows from the couch.
