Furniture can both be functional and aesthetic elements in your home, and if you happen to be living in the Gulf region, there are enough furniture shops in Bahrain you can visit to pick up your favourite pieces.

Every space of your home demands furniture of a different kind. Also, the kind of furniture you choose depends on the overall theme. Before deciding on what kind of furniture to buy, you should also take into consideration the overall decor theme you wish to achieve. Here are some tips on choosing the ideal furniture for your home from among the furniture shops in Bahrain:

• The furniture you buy should be based on your lifestyle. Are you the type that entertains a lot? Do you love spending time in your garden? Do you have children or pets? All these questions set the tone for the kind of furniture you may want to buy. If you love the outdoors, you should opt for garden furniture. If you have kids, then, you should buy furniture that can handle stains and spills.

• If you want your furniture to make a style statement, you should choose from among themes. Period furniture or antique pieces add a sense of sophistication and class while contemporary furniture can make you home look cool and stylish. An ornate armoire, dresser, a chest of cabinets…such pieces add a Victorian feel to your living room.

• Want to add an Arabian touch to your furniture? You could opt for Arabian sets that come with cushions and foldable sofas. These floor-seaters are called majlis sets, and are extremely comfortable. You can easily find them in one of the furniture shops in Bahrain.

• On the other hand, modern furniture pieces have clean straight lines and a minimalistic touch. They lend a sleek look to your home.

• Leather is the go-to option when you are confused or can’t decide on what kind of look to achieve. Choose plush leather sofas, couches or recliners as they are durable, comfortable and classy.

• Retro pieces of furniture add a pop touch to your home. Choose pieces from the Fifties or Sixties with bright colours, like a bright yellow, a resplendent red or a shocking purple. How about a lounge chair with floral prints dating back from the Seventies, for instance? Isn’t it a fascinating piece of furniture to have in your home?

• Rustic and distressed furniture is all the rage, and adds a cool touch to your home. Get a rustic wooden table, or some shelves with a distressed look to turn them into conversational pieces

• Still looking for some stand-out furniture? You could try Zen furniture aka Japanese pieces of furniture. They are typically futons, floor-level chairs and tables, among others. You could also opt for Indian furniture pieces with ornate carvings, or intricately patterned coffee tables and cupboards.
