Learn how to choose the right furniture for your home

Good construction is the basis for an airy and organized home, but it is the relationship we maintain with furniture that will transform our home into a pleasant and harmonious environment. So think carefully before buying your furniture. We teach you how to make the best choices and make your home a delight.

spacious bathroom

This room in the house deserves special attention, so invest in cabinets!

🇧🇷 Make the most of every corner: investing in a cabinet with multiple dividers and drawers makes your life easier. There are even models with a sink support supported on a column.

Before buying the furniture in the house…

🇧🇷 Measure the space available in the room: take the measurements, write them down on paper and remember to take them to the store.
🇧🇷 Know how many people are going to use it: plan the space well according to the number of users. Do the math!
🇧🇷 Think about circulation: observe everyday life in your home and see which path people take through the rooms. Buy furniture that, even when open, does not interfere with the passage and mechanism for opening doors and windows.

1. For big TVs

🇧🇷 Buying a giant TV for a small room can create a visual problem: depending on how far it is from the sofa, it will make viewing the images uncomfortable. Therefore, respect the minimum space between the screen and the sofa: 1.35 m (for 20-inch TVs) or 1.85 m (for 29-inch TVs).
🇧🇷 Be wary of sellers who try to push a bigger TV than you need!
🇧🇷 The arrangement of the room above is ideal for those who enjoy watching soap operas, playing football with friends or picking up that cool movie at the video store. In front of the sofa, a long ottoman serves as a footrest.
🇧🇷 The greater distance between the sofa seat and the rack allows for the investment in a 29-inch TV.
🇧🇷 When the room receives visitors, the pouf goes to the side and serves as an extra seat.

2. To divide spaces

🇧🇷 If you are going to separate the TV room from the dining table, place the low shelf at the back of the sofa, creating two rooms.
🇧🇷 The TV against the window avoids reflections, improving the image during the day.
🇧🇷 The minimum circulation of 50 cm was respected and allows a double flow of people, coming from both sides of the sofa. THE
distance between the seats and the screen allows for a large TV.

3. To release circulation

🇧🇷 Rooms with two environments are great for giving the impression of more space. In the arrangement below, there is an area for TV and another for reading. The books are on the furniture behind the sofa.
🇧🇷 As the distance between the screen and the sofa is smaller here, the ideal is to invest in a TV with a maximum of 20 inches. So you and your family can view the images without difficulty.

to eat and cook

Learn how to apply the triangle rule in your home, which guarantees a practical kitchen with everything in place

🇧🇷 If meals and food preparation are in the same room: tables and chairs should not interfere with circulation. To get it right, do it like this: move the chair away from the table as if there was a person sitting in it. Then, measure the distance between the back of the chair and the wall (or furniture) behind it. You must leave 60 cm of distance. This avoids that push-push when passing with a hot platter.

🇧🇷 Calculate the size of the table top according to the number of chairs:

Number of Users – 4

Round (diameter) – 90 cm

Rectangular – 120 cm X 60 cm

Number of users – 5

Round (diameter) – 110 cm

Rectangular – 140 cm X 60 cm

Number of users – 6

Round (diameter) – 140 cm

Rectangular – 180 cm X 90 cm

Number of users – 8

Round (diameter) – 180 cm

Rectangular – 240 cm X 120 cm

🇧🇷 If the kitchen is just for preparing food: use the triangle rule. Draw on paper the distribution of your kitchen, without the cupboards. Put only the stove, sink and refrigerator in the scheme. Make a point on each of these objects and join them, forming a triangle. The sum of the sides of the triangle must never exceed 7 meters. Avoid placing a microwave or stove too close to the refrigerator. The difference in temperatures can affect the performance of the equipment.
