Sofa or curtains first?

6 years ago

The walls are a light beige.
My plan is to get a blue sofa and white sheers with dark beige black outs so not really looking to match them. But does it still matter if I do one thing before the other? Thanks

Ideally, you'd make all the material / colour choices before buying anything. Otherwise, my advice would always be to choose the item which comes in the narrowest range of colours / finishes which you might find acceptable first.

Hi Aby it’s definitely worth thinking about your colour scheme, even if the colours don’t match, choosing contrasting or complimentary colours is a good idea (take a look at a colour wheel for some ideas on what works). We’d also always recommend you go for plain fabrics with lots of texture for big ticket items like sofas and curtains. Let us know if you have any more questions and we’ll do our best to help

I was hoping to see a photo because I thought maybe there are other options than curtain dividers. If you say that the space is not that big, I think it should not be closed with curtain dividers. It could stay open but separated with a sofa table with a vase or a lamp.

Hi Dagobert Duck (interesting name), I am assuming that this is a townhouse in Asia, as you mention the dry kitchen and wet kitchen (terms used mostly in Singapore) and also from the visible lift on the plan that you shared. I would definitly advice you to keep the dry kitchen and place the dining table close to the dry kitchen or close to the bay window on the left. The space here is rather large and can easily accommodate a regular 2 metre table with 8 chairs. If you are concerned about the view of dining table as you enter the house, you could always place a round table near the entrance to block off the view. I agree with Elaine about placing the furniture away from walls. Place a bunch of fresh flowers or art/sculpture above the round table like in a hotel entrance. So the the first view you see when you enter the house is the table with flowers. Its difficult to give you any further advice as we have no idea what your final vision of the place is? Feel free to contact us in Singapore if you need further advice? Hope you will have the home of your dreams soon.

Hi there! An option you might want to check out is the original Ziptrak® blinds from Australia. It's approved by URA Singapore and provides an almost enclosed space. You can check out more here: https://facebook.com/TheCurtainBoutique/videos/1642452509209072/
