The Search for the Single Sofa Bed

Now for those of you who have shopped for a sofa bed know that finding the right one can be a long and daunting task. The vast majority of sofa beds out there are large pieces of furniture, only available in the length of a full sofa. While that might work for some people, when that length doesn't work for you, often the only option left is to settle for a futon reminiscent of old university days.
 
We understand that there are limited options so Pallucci's went looking for a solution!See the new addition to Pallucci's showroom: A single sofa bed!

How to create a Cohesive Living Space?

We get many customers asking us on a daily basis how to match furniture in their living space. The good and bad news is that there are no hard and fast rules to creating a cohesive living space. There are, however, some things to consider.

Picking a sofa that you love is one of the first places to start. A sofa is usually a focus point in a room. Measure the space that you have and take some time to think about materials (fabrics, leathers), colours, shapes (sectionals, loveseats) and finally your budget.

When it comes to the whole room a quick rule is to pick a few colours (3-4 to start) that compliment each other and stick with them. Don't be afraid of using strong bright colours or patterns either. Choose which colour(s) are the main colour(s) of your room and which are accent colour(s) to be scattered here or there in the form of cushions or fresh flowers.

What is the focus in your room? Do you want everyone to notice your gorgeous new fireplace or is the furniture the focal point? What is the function? Is it a room TV room for your family of young energetic children? Perhaps the pristine monochromatic white look that you love is not the most practical, but you could always compromise by adding plenty of white accessories.

Ask yourself these questions while you do a little research. Look through magazines or go online. There are plenty of bloggers out there with fantastic style ideas! Clip the pictures you like and go from there!
