How To: Choose Furniture For Your Home

Furniture for your home is an investment in more ways than one, and there are a plethora of questions to ask yourself before you pick out furniture. Because everyone has different taste and function for their furniture, such questions will change based on your specifications and expectations for your home. Consider these 3 key points to remember when picking out furniture, no matter what your preferred style is. Although these key points are applicable to all of the furniture in your home, living room furniture is especially true for these elements.

  1. Quality - Furniture, especially living room furniture, takes a lot of wear and tear. Think about how often you sit on your couch, for instance. Depending on the use, this point may differ, but for the most part, you want to buy the best quality furniture you can afford. The heavier and more solid the materials are, the more use you'll get out of it, and the less likely it is to break.
  2. Silhouette - The shape, or silhouette of the furniture you pick out should match the other decor and theme of your house. For example, if you have a cozy log cabin with low lighting and deep, rich color schemes, consider furniture with dark wood that may have a more bulky silhouette.
  3. Fabric - The actual fabric of your furniture is a huge element to take into account. Your couch, love seat, and recliner should be cohesive, although they don't need to be the same material. Comfort plays as much of a role as the appearance does, maybe even more.

#SolarSunday

Having a pool to cool off and relax in is a luxury that is especially nice during these hot summer months. But, like most luxuries in life, time, energy, and money must be put into owning a pool. One of the costs associated with having a pool is the money it takes to heat a pool. If you are interested in swimming in your pool after the sun goes down or during cooler months, heating your pool is a viable option to consider. Check out some information about how solar hot water collectors can heat your pool. How does it work? Pool water gets pumped through a filter into a solar hot water collector. Solar hot water collectors are thin and generally mounted on a roof. Thin pipes of water then run through the collector. When the sun's rays hit the collector, they heat the running water inside.
