When planning furniture layouts I find helpful to create a framework of simple, solid pieces. Clean shapes and good quality are the foundation of a design which will then allow "dressing up" or "down" with accessories. Here are some old favourites, furniture and upholstery design I revisit all the time given their versatile proportions:
Dark, nearly black, stained oak furniture with modernist inspired chunky detailing and proportions
Upholstery, unless you are designing an accent piece, benefits once again from clean shapes (whether including traditional scroll arms or 20th century square detailing)
The more detailed the piece the more crucial it becomes that quality is impeccable. If budget is an issue, simple choices always pay off.
Once a framework of smart pieces of furniture has been created... colour and accessories can be added.
It's a simple recipe but one that will allow future changes without too much disruption.
