What Is Occasional Furniture? Where Is It Usually Used?
By definition, occasional furniture is anything that is used on occasion at a home, either in a living room or family room. Occasional furniture may include anything from end tables and coffee/cocktail tables, chests, console tables with wooden benches, and open bookcases. They are functional but decorative and can help tie together a room’s overall look while providing storage and functionality. Occasional furniture is versatile, making it ideal for any room of the house or office. If there’s ever a piece you have in mind, all you have to do is ask our friendly staff.
Tips for Picking Out Occasional Furniture for Your Home
When it comes to selecting new occasional furniture set for your home, you’ll first want to measure the room’s dimensions. You’ll want to ensure at least 18 inches of space between your sofa and a coffee table to give your guests ample seating room and easy access to items on the table. You should also try to visualize the room and its use, so you don’t end up with a long list of furniture pieces you’re never likely to use. If the room serves as an entertaining space primarily, a cocktail table or an ottoman could come in handy for extra guests.
If it’s more of a den of relaxation for the family, you may want to consider lamp tables for adequate reading light or a console table to host video games and DVDs. Nesting tables or cocktail tables with adjustable heights make ideal companions for those working from home or who prefer to eat outside the dining room. If you’re a collector who’s proud to show off your treasures to visitors to your home, an open bookcase or curio cabinet may be beneficial. If you take the time to select occasional furniture with care, you should end up with a perfectly furnished room you’ll enjoy for many years to come.
