Furniture forms an intergral part of home decor. The right furniture can create magic in your home decor whereas choosing a furniture that does not fit in your home space can make the home look cluttered and conjusted. Moreover, choosing new furniture is an exciting task but is also a big investment, so it's worth doing your research first to ensure the furniture you choose fits seamlessly into your home, both size and style-wise. Shami Goregaoker, Design Director, GA design share some useful tips to choose the right furniture that add up to your home decor without making the space look clumsy.

Start by thinking about the size and shape of the room to help narrow down your search.
If you are furnishing a smaller room, look to light, fresh colours and consider glass, mirrored and clear acrylic furniture to give the illusion of light and space.
Avoid clutter by investing in multi-tasking furniture such as extendable tables, foldaway chairs and clever storage solutions. In a bigger space you can get away with large statement pieces and dark wooden furniture, adding a touch of drama to your décor.
Your furniture choices will also depend on your individual taste. Vintage-inspired furniture with dark wood finishes and ornate detailing will suit a more traditional interior scheme, whereas if you prefer contemporary minimalist interiors, then white furniture and light oak pieces coupled with clean, minimal shapes will help you achieve this aesthetic.
