When thinking about a warm inviting atmosphere in your room, you should not disregard wooden furniture pieces. Adding such pieces into your interior space can add life to an otherwise dull room. Wooden furniture helps to convey a natural warmth that can be associated by nature. Here’s our suggestion for the best wooden pieces to make your cozy and relaxing home.

If style is what you are after then the Brentwood Fabric Oak Lounger and sofa is definitely one to consider. This unique retro inspired sofa features an outer wooden frame with big foam cushions, which looks wonderful in earthly colours to work in harmony with your wooden pieces. Placing a large coffee table such as the Union Coffee Table would look marvellous in this setting. Featuring four rotating and spiralling boards to offer the room some pattern and texture.

Adding storage into this setting will give you a safe place to put loose pieces and other important items. This is where the Perkins Solid Wood Table comes in handy with it’s two drawer storage. When conveniently placed next to the sofa, it offers a top surface for you to place items on and keeping them close to you.

For an exotic look then you may want to consider adding Cowhide Rugs into your interior. Each rug is unique in colour with no two pieces looking exactly the same. Each of these rugs have superior quality and imported from Brazil.

Adding all these pieces together creates a warm look that works well with each other. Each piece has at least one element that is common with each other whether it be colour, material or style. Combining all these helps to tie the pieces together so that no furniture piece looks like it’s not suppose to be there or seem out of place.

Home Design is an important aspect of our everyday lives and provide an invaluable place to rest and enjoy times with our family and friends. With the limited amount of space in Hong Kong, our home interior plays a crucial role in our overall well-being - it is essentially our oasis we return back to from a long day at work or a fun filled weekend out and about in the city. The best home interior starts in the living room - the central hearth and gathering place of our family and friends. In this central hearth the sofa becomes the central focal point to sit, gather and rest. Whether you decide on a two seat sofa, a three seat sofa, a daybed, an L-shaped sofa or even a combination of both, the couch is one of the central focal points of your living room / home design. Finding the best couch to lounge on can be at times a daunting task from decisive factors such as comfort versus style, all goals may or may not be achievable pending your home design style goals. At Decor8, the best part besides our complimentary interior design service is our ability to customize any of our sofas in a wide range of fabrics and leathers. At most times we can also customize your sofa in special sizes. Whether you want your home design to incorporate an industrial theme or you would like your home design to incorporate a bold spectrum of bright and unique colors or you prefer a muted, minimalistic contemporary setting our color swatch palette tailors towards a wide spectrum of tastes and interior design needs. Perhaps that is why so many interior designers trust Decor8 to provide the best color matches for all our custom upholstery fabric sofas and custom leather sofas. Nonetheless, interiors in Hong Kong are challenged with at most times limited amounts of space that can hinder the types, sizes and variety of furniture a home design aficionado would like. In addition, the furniture designs can at times be limited. That is why at Decor8, we are constantly updating our online furniture catalogue to provide the most extensive and best selection of furniture in Hong Kong. If you have any additional recommendations for furniture you can always e-mail us and we will try our best to incorporate your favorite furniture design into our furniture shop to make your Home Design go as smoothly as possible.
