This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey

Using the right furniture is an essential element of living room design. Interior designers take this into substantial consideration when planning a home design as it consumes the most space in the living room area. These furniture pieces are treated as “constants,” as once they are positioned in the room, other installments will adjust based on how and where they are placed. You may not realise it right away, but there are things to consider when buying new living room furniture. If you happen to be thinking about changing your current living room design by purchasing new furniture pieces, then below are a few factors to look at: 1. Size of the home. The furniture you intend to buy should not only fit in your home but leave enough room for you to move freely. You may want to look at the floor space of the living room first and then inquire about furniture sets that will fit in your allocated space. A bulky 7-seater may eat up most of your living room space, and this will limit your freedom of movement. Perhaps it would be better to settle with a three or five-seater at the most whose make and structure do not impede your mobility. 2. Durability of the furniture. Another reason interior designers have high regard for furniture when designing home interiors is that sofas and couches are intended to be used for several years. Hence, you should look for a set that can last for a long time. You may want to check out furniture sets and compare their form, structure, and material. It is also great to look into the background of their makers, so you have an idea that your sofa is done by a reputable brand. 3. Comfortability. Not all fluffy cushioned sofas are comfortable. Some of them can be stiff and may cause you pain the long run. Thus, when shopping for a couch, better test its comfortability before purchasing it. You can check the ergonomics of the sofa or couch to see whether it accommodates your need for comfort without putting your posture at risk. Also, you should know the type of cushion used on the furniture. This way, you know when and how to have your sofa reupholstered or when it is time to dispose it. 4. Form and style. It is also right that you look into the aesthetics of the furniture. You may have to go through several renovations in your home, and the style you will go for might not always adhere to the style of your sofa. Hence, you may want to invest in living room furniture that can keep up with the sign of the times, or one that is not difficult to dress up. Some homeowners opt for a sofa set that is made of wood or minimalist steel due to their durability and flexibility to blend in with different home interior trends. The living room often serves as a witness to your life as a homeowner. With the right choice of furniture, you can enjoy every memory you make in your home.
