Furniture and Accessories for Your Home

 

Furnishing your home can be a very exciting task, whether you have a new home or just fancy a change there are lots of possibilities.

It takes lots of time to choose which type of furniture and accessories suit the different rooms in your home. It is better to choose furniture which caters to all different rooms, from your living room to your bedroom.

PORA makes it easier for you with its wide selection of furniture crafted from rattan, cane and wood. Just read on and learn how to best furnish your home.

 

Here’s how to do it:

1. It is constantly suggested to select accessories and furniture on a small scale. If you do not have a large home, it will be easier to move and place them in various parts of your home.

2. Storage is in short supply in most houses. Select furniture pieces like chest of drawers and armoires that offer storing or hanging space. These can be used in a bedroom, parlor, lobby, bathroom, and lots of others areas and allows items to be stored efficiently without cluttering your home.

3. When furnishing a living room or family room, try choosing two loveseats rather than one huge sofa. Loveseats can be used to form a corner seating area, can be put opposite to each other to create a conversation spot, or simply put them separately in different rooms of your home – as per what your area demands. Or, simply opt for a rattan and wicker sofa set if you wish to have one as it is easier to move than those densely packed sofas.  

4. Try selecting neutral and natural colored furniture such as tan, camel, navy, dark green, or black. This color will be your “anchor” color. Vietnam Poly rattan furniture holds an amazing variety of colored furniture items that will definitely enhance your home decor.

5. Gather a collection of cushions, fabrics, and elegant accessories to harmonize with your anchor color. You can checkout various Indonesian decor items at our Wicker furniture factory as well. With this, you’ll be able to change the look with seasons, giving your furniture a new, fresh look throughout the year. A red loveseat for example, would look great with green and yellow floral cushions for summer or black and white cushions for winter. 

6. Select a color scheme that fits with your taste and stick with it. Start with white (or your chosen anchor color) and select fabrics and accessories complimenting that color scheme. If you carry the colors throughout your home, you’ll be able to move furniture and accessories from room to room. They’ll look great wherever you place them.

7. Don’t be afraid of experimenting! Find out what works best for the room in present situation. If you’ve selected items with versatility in mind, you’ll end up with an arrangement that’s just right!

8. Try using slipcovers to change the look of sofas and chairs without making big investment.

9. Be adventurous with tables. Choose amusing bases, tables with storage or plate glass tops.

10. Buy lamps, armchairs, vases and cushions in pairs. They’ll add symmetry and continuity to a room. As you move, this will also provide the option of using each piece in separate room if necessary.

Hope these suggestions gave you some ideas on how to give your home a unique look!

Difference between Wicker Furniture and Rattan Furniture

If you are looking for wonderful Vietnamese outdoor or indoor patio furniture, you may have seen these two materials many times– Wicker Furniture and Rattan Furniture. The point is – some people think that wicker and rattan are the same, and some believe that these are very alike. Wicker and Rattan can be interchangeable which may cause problems in maintenance of furniture. Despite the fact that wicker and rattan furniture fall under similar category, there is still an extraordinary difference between them. This blog will highlight the differences between wicker and rattan furniture o you can choose what is right for you.

What is Rattan?

Although rattan is similar to the palm tree, it’s not a tree! It is a kind of a vine that grows very quickly in tropical and sub-tropical regions of South Eastern countries like Vietnam. For this reason it is also known as climbing palms.

Main Qualities of Rattan:

Growing in the shape of a pole, rattan reaches the diameter between one to three inches when fully grown. It also has the ability to grow to one hundred feet, rattan is thought of as one of the strongest woods and is used in making various furniture styles.

Unlike the bamboo pole, rattan has a strong centre, is very hardwearing and even more difficult to break. The solid centre of rattan as well as the vertical grains is harvested, and is chopped into smaller pieces and is usually steamed to give assorted shapes. The skin outside of the rattan pole, the peel, is usually used as binding for furniture joints.

What is Wicker?

Wicker is a material made of plant stalks, branches or shoots formed by a kind of weaving into a rigid material, most often used for baskets or furniture. In fact, it is an ancient technique and is used to produce numerous items out of natural materials, such as willow, rush, cane, rattan core and more. Natural wicker is well known for its strength and durability, and for the high level of beauty and comfort that an expert craftsman can produce. The materials are produced when wet so they can be easily woven to create different designs and patterns in furniture pieces. For more information, have a look at our different wicker furniture styles at our wicker furniture factory.

Rattan is a specific material, hence rattan furniture can be crafted out of rattan only, but wicker furniture may be crafted out of different materials such as bamboo, straw and even rattan. Recently, synthetic materials are also being used to manufacture various wicker furnishings. Hope this article has helped you to develop an understanding of the differences between rattan and wicker.

Check PORA furniture article that tells lots of useful information about rattan furniture and wicker furniture separately.

Wicker Coffee Tables

COFFEE TABLES’S ROLE IN OUR LIVING ROOM SPACE

 

 

A sitting room without a coffee table is like a book without a title. Just like a title completes a book, so a coffee table completes a living room

Maybe most of us didn’t care but there’s a thing in every living space without which a living space would not be complete. It’s a wicker coffee table. A wicker coffee table plays a pivotal role in living rooms to make family conversations more interesting with some snacks and drinks.

Should you go with a wooden design, metallic with a glass top; or go with a rattan and wicker coffee table; should it be curved, square or rectangular? The options are never ending and at times can be too much. Whatever you decide, first think about the fashion and usability of living room furniture. For example, an oval or round coffee table is ideal if you have a young family with kids, as the round edges assures less injuries. A rectangular coffee table, on the other hand, is elegant when you want sophistication in your living space. It covers lots of area; therefore it is a good choice for big living rooms.

MATERIAL

Coffee tables are made from different materials like wood, metal, glass styled in a traditional, contemporary or modern fashion, as per user’s choice.
