In this article, we're going to take a look at how accent tables come into interior decor, the kind of accent tables you can get, and how to choose the best table for your space.
An accent table is a side table or smaller, decorative piece of furniture that is used to complement the overall aesthetic of a room. It is often placed by the side of a sofa or chair, in the corner of a room, or indeed as a focal point within the center of the space.
Accent tables aren't always small side tables; they can be coffee tables and larger styles, too. The idea of an accent table is to add visual interest to a space. They are often used for decorative items, like ornaments, books, and more. Accent tables can be both functional and decorative.
Accent tables come in many materials, including wood, glass, metal, or even a combination of all. While many people use accent tables in their living space, they may also be used in offices, dining rooms, bathrooms, and even bedrooms.
Accent tables are often functional as well as decorative, which means that they can be used in many ways and in many different rooms. Below are some of our favorite uses for accent tables.
Side tables are often used as accent tables in living spaces. These end tables usually sit beside the sofa or seating in the room and can be used to hold lighting features. You could also find a corner accent table style to use as a lampstand.
For this style, you could use a simple and stylish option like our Metric End Table and pair it with a statement lamp like our Ghost Table Lamp for a contemporary take on the accent table arrangement.
Your accent table could double up in its role, acting as both an interesting piece of decor and a functioning piece of furniture. Styles like our Block Trolley Table and our Sitka Side Table offer a functional element. The shelves, drawers, and other storage aspects of these accent tables could be used to store books or decorative pieces.
An accent table can also be used solely to add something artistic to the room. Tables that we stock, like our impressively rustic Pure Teak Star Root Coffee Table, can easily create an elegant focal point in the room as a coffee table, or for an end table option, you could try our Pure Curved Side Table.
If you're looking for artistry that's slightly more contemporary, then our Timber End Table also serves as a unique and artistic addition to any room. These tables can, of course, still hold decorative pieces, too, if you'd like to get some use out of them.
People don't often consider their entertainment console as an accent table, but as a great focal point, you could get creative with this piece of furniture. Something sleek and clean like our Corridor Quad Width Low Media Cabinet is a beautiful table that adds something unique to your space and can hold your TV and other entertainment devices!
Lastly, in a study or office, your desk could double as an accent table to draw focus and tie together the decor in the room. For a modern look, you could try our Styx Desk, which is uniquely shaped and could certainly stand out in your space. For something big, bold, and with lots of storage, you might also like our Santa Cruz Leaning Desk.
There are many styles and types of accent tables that you can find in furniture collections. These include the following.
End tables or side tables often sit beside the sofa in a living space or the bed in a bedroom. They're commonly made of wood or metal and can be used for storage and as a decorative piece of furniture. You can find them in many shapes, including round tables, square tables, and more.
We offer many end table options in modern and contemporary styles, including the Elora End Table, the Monument End Table, and the Leslie End Table.
While coffee tables have their own functionality, they can also be used as accent pieces of furniture. Often coming in various materials, including wood, metal, and glass, you can shop coffee tables in a huge range of styles to suit a variety of interiors.
Coffee tables are most often found in living spaces, and while you don't tend to get them in the bedroom or dining room, they may sometimes be used in atriums of office buildings or in larger offices beside a sofa.
Coffee tables can be used to store books and ornaments as well as being used as a place for coffee and other drinks (as the name suggests).
Viesso is proud to offer many coffee table options in our online shop, including our Solana Coffee Table, the Origami Coffee Table, and the inventive Ripples Coffee Table, which can be altered to your shape preferences!
Nesting tables refer to tables that can be stacked together. The smaller options can be pulled out and used when necessary, which makes for a flexible piece of furniture. As with the other types of accent tables, nesting tables can be made of wood, glass, metal, and even plastic. They are used in a variety of ways, including as end tables and as coffee tables.
Nesting tables may be round or square/rectangular and store away easily. They're a great choice if you need extra storage sometimes or perhaps need the use of a second end table, but only occasionally. Options we offer include Alexy Marble Nesting End Tables, the Nexa Nested Side Tables, and the Tabwa Teak Round Nesting Coffee Table 3 Set.
A desk can be used for many things, including as a computer desk, for writing, or as a space for meeting clients. Desks come in many materials, but wood is usually a preferred material due to its sturdiness.
While a desk is a functioning piece of furniture in most cases, it can also be used as the focal point of the room, which makes it an obvious choice for an accent table.
Desks we offer that could fulfill this role include the Noori Desk and the Matte Desk.
Consoles or entertainment tables are a brilliant choice for your accent table because they already draw focus. As the place where your entertainment sits, people automatically look that way, so choosing a sleek, modern, and interesting design for your console can add something to your room.
Consoles can also be used in spaces like the atrium or an office to store books, ornaments, flowers, and plants.
We have some excellent console choices in our online store, including the Cora Console Table, the Geometric Console, and the Octave Media Cabinet.
Choosing the best accent table for your space means making a few considerations. These include the following.
At Viesso, we've got lots of accent table options for you to choose from. We pride ourselves on offering custom-made aesthetic designs that last beyond trends. Check out our full range of accent tables to find the perfect style for your space now.
]]>Accent chairs are one of our favorite pieces of furniture at Viesso. They can be fun and charming, and shopping for them is always a joy. But how do you choose the best kinds of accent chairs for your living space? How do you decide between a wood accent chair and a black accent chair?
This guide will give you all you need to know so that you can choose the right accent chairs for your living space. Take a look to get started now.
An accent chair is a piece of furniture, usually smaller than a sectional or sofa, which is used as a decorative piece. There is no one singular style that defines an accent chair. In fact, the different styles and shapes are what make accent chairs a unique piece of furniture in your space.
Accent chairs can come in a variety of different fabrics, too. Popular choices at the moment include velvet lounge chairs, leather upholstered chairs, and patterned textile chairs. They also commonly sport unique decorative styles, like tufting, nailhead trims, and sometimes even tassels! But have no fear; if you're looking for something more minimalist in your occasional chair, you can find one of those, too.
The right accent chair for you will vary depending on your personal style. Fortunately, there are lots of styles to choose from.
Traditional accent chairs, like the traditional club chairs, are often made with a wooden frame and have intricate carvings. Upholstery is often something like damask, brocade, or velvet.
At Viesso, our style tends to lean more towards the modern, but if you're looking for traditional extra seating with a modern twist, then our Tallinn Chair or our Bonaldo Lounge Chairs could be the perfect option for you.
If you're looking for something a little more modern in your additional seating, then a contemporary accent chair is the one to choose. These accent chairs often favor clean lines and minimalist features, and the upholstery is often a solid neutral color scheme.
Accent chairs in our collection that fit this style include the Temi Side Chair, which is an incredibly minimalist white accent chair, and the Miami Lounge Chair.
Industrial chairs are the perfect accent chair for a clean and minimal space. Industrial styles tend to favor materials like metal and leather and are often composed of sharp angles.
Industrial lounge chairs that we offer in our collection include the Andy Easy Chair, which has clean lines and metal legs, and the Kelso Chair, which comes in two color options that would suit industrial decor.
Rustic styles cover an extensive range of accent chairs, including wooden chairs, rocking chairs, and even Adirondack styles. A rustic accent chair will usually be made of wood, may have woven elements, and has natural and sometimes distressed features.
At Viesso, we love natural materials, and an excellent option for a rustic lounge could be our Virkelyst Chair. For a fully wooden accent chair, you could try our Eye Lounge Chair or our Le Roi Chair.
A wingback accent chair is an excellent option for a more traditional lounge chair. Known for its 'winged' and tall back, this traditional armchair comes in a variety of styles, including very traditional upholstered chair styles and minimal options.
If you're looking for a minimal and contemporary winged-back chair, our Elk Chair is a brilliant choice.
Slipper chair styles are known for having no arms and are a superb choice for contemporary living rooms. We offer a few different armless upholstered chair styles that could work alongside an accent table or alone in small spaces.
Our slipper chair styles include our MLB Easy Armless Chair and our Byron Single Seat Armless Chair.
If you're choosing an accent chair that will stand out against a simple coffee table and sofa configuration, then a boldly colored and intricately patterned accent chair could be the right accent chair for you.
Bold patterns can be contrasting or complementary to the surrounding interiors, and we offer some great options in our lounge chair selection.
The X Chair is an excellent choice for a blue accent chair, and if you're looking for a bright green accent chair, then our Patara Spider Chair is a good choice. Both come in other colors, too, so you can find the perfect accent chair for your space.
So, with all these different accent chair options, how are you supposed to find the right one for your space? Choosing an accent chair is actually simple once you've answered a few questions.
These questions are as follows.
Choosing an accent chair can be difficult if you don't know what it is you want. Our advice is to choose a style and consider what the chair's purpose is. Then, spend some time going through our extensive collection of accent chairs to find the perfect chair for your space!
]]>In this guide, we've created a list of some everyday dining table decor ideas that you can use to spruce up your space and tie all your designs together in one place. We've also included a few brief ideas for holiday decor on your dining table too! Check it out now.
From candle holders and decorative items to table runners, linens, and floral arrangements, there is so much to choose from when it comes to dining room table decor. Our inspirational ideas are listed below for you to peruse.
Your dining room table is the perfect place to display that fancy dinnerware you got on your wedding day that you've never really had a use for. If your dining table is rarely used, you can place the plates, side plates, and bowls out at each place setting and have the dining table constantly set up.
If your wedding china is too precious or in a less-than-stellar state, then you could take the time to find a tableware set that matches your decor and pulls all design aspects together in your dining room. Consider the color of the dinnerware and cutlery, along with any stylish glasses and napkins you can find.
Tabletop decor doesn't just have to be decorative items; it can be fully functional, too.
Using dinnerware as a dining table decor style lends itself well to large dining table styles, particularly long rectangular tables. Our Double Extendable Dining Table and Elusive Table would both work well for this kind of decor.
Whether you only get your table runner out at Christmas or you've never actually owned good table linens, it's time to change your attitude toward tablecloths. Using high-quality linen made from luxurious fabrics, like silk and velvet, can make your dining room table look decadent and beautiful.
You can layer colors and designs with a contrasting table runner. You could even add texture with napkins and placemats. Consider how your dining table decor would complement the rest of the room. Could you use completely contrasting colors on the walls and floor? Or might you add a bold color to a minimalist room?
Square and rectangle dining room tables, like the Nardo Dining Table, lend themselves particularly well to the use of linens, but this shouldn't stop you from covering circular or oval-shaped dining tables either.
A table centerpiece is an excellent method of dining table decor. It could be added to tie together your linens and table runner or placed on a bare table in a minimalist dining space.
You can make a gorgeous centerpiece from a great variety of items. You might choose high-quality fake flowers in pretty vases for a floral centerpiece that requires very little maintenance. You might also look into traditional candle holders, like candelabras or decorative lanterns, for a decadent focal point.
You can also explore shapes when it comes to a table centerpiece.
For example, a round table lends itself to a 360-degree focal point. This might mean a vase filled with a faux bloom, whereas a line of exciting candle holders may work better on a rectangular table.
Another way to add creative centerpieces to your dining table is to utilize light. We've already mentioned candle holders and candelabras, but you might also use faux candles, ornamental candles like those poured into exciting shapes, or scented candles for a low-key way to decorate your dining room.
In addition, a light fixture, like a chandelier or pendant, can provide decoration to your dining table, too. You might choose a low-hanging light to improve the lighting and build ambiance in your dining room.
Our Caravaggio Pendant lights can add something to a minimalist space, whereas something more decadent, like our Illana Pendant or Rio Pendant, could add that touch of elegance and luxury you're looking for.
Lastly, why not consider bringing a bit of nature to your dining room table? You might consider potted plants or succulents for a minimalist addition to your dining table. These could be placed in clean and simple vases to keep the whole space looking modern.
You might also want to go for a boldly shaped vase and a bloom bursting with color to add something to a monochrome space.
If flowers and plants aren't your thing or they don't fit in your dining room, you could also consider other natural elements. This might include driftwood, seashells, or even polished stones and crystals. Depending on the decor in your dining room as a whole, this kind of natural element might be just the thing to tie the whole room together.
If you're in need of some inspiration for dining room table decorations for events and holidays, then we've covered that below, too!
For dinner parties, you will likely want your dining table less cluttered. There's no point inviting people over if you can't see them through all the fresh flowers and foliage!
You could opt for quality linens and a contrasting table runner to keep things simple. Or add candles and mood lighting to improve the ambiance as you entertain your guests.
If you're having a more intimate dinner or you're cooking a romantic meal, consider low lighting and a few flowers to round out the entire space. Matching your vases and candle holders to the rest of your dining room will ensure that the space exudes elegance.
Holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, are another time you might consider decorating your dining room table (and maybe your entire dining room, too!)
For both of these holidays, the first thing you should consider is the theme. You can usually find tons of decorative items in shops around these times of year to create an elegant (or not-so-elegant) dining table.
As mentioned above, remember that if you've got family and friends at your dining table, you likely want to see them, so don't add so much to the table that you're unable to see their faces!
For Christmas, we like to look for fresh winter flowers along with themed napkins and matching ring holders. You might even consider folding the napkins into interesting shapes to add to the elegance of your table.
At Thanksgiving, we like to lean into the fall colors of that time of year. Consider natural elements, candles, and fall-colored linens.
Your dining room table is a great place to tie a room together. You can add decorative items or linens that pull different design elements into one space, and it can add elegance to the room as a whole. Consider how often you use your dining room table before decking it out in grand items that you then need to remove daily!
If you're looking into renovating your whole dining space, then Viesso has you covered. We have an incredible range of artisan dining tables, chairs, dining benches, and sideboards. Check out the whole of our dining inventory here.
]]>So, what do you need to consider when choosing a sofa fabric?
Below, we have covered a wide range of different natural and synthetic fabrics that sofas can be covered by. We've covered how they could fit into your space design and how well they withstand normal wear and tear to help you make your decision. Check it out now.
There are some different types of couch materials that are incredibly common. These sofa fabrics may be made from both natural fibers and synthetic ones and include the following.
Cotton is a very breathable fabric and tends to be soft and durable. It has natural stain-repellant qualities and is easy to maintain. Cotton upholstery fabrics are particularly good in warmer climates where people may want to stay cooler.
Although made from natural fibers, there is some debate as to how environmentally friendly cotton is. If you're looking for sustainable sofa fabrics, you may need to do your research to find a sofa made from a responsible cotton source.
Linen is another natural fabric that can be used as a sofa fabric. It is a durable fabric choice; in fact, it's about 30% stronger than cotton, making it extremely hard-wearing. It has a textured appearance (though it is prone to wrinkles!).
Linen is a biodegradable material, and due to its long lifespan, it tends to do less damage to the environment when it comes to the end of its life. However, linen is not a stain-resistant fabric. This means if you've got young children or pets and you're looking for a sofa that will last, you might consider a more stain-resistant option.
Our Kos 3-Seat Sofa is an excellent example of the clean lines, and minimalistic style linen exuded when used as a couch fabric.
Polyester fabric makes for an incredibly durable material. It is not an absorbent material, so is often a stain-resistant upholstery fabric, making it great for kids and pets. (Be aware that polyester mixes may not be stain-resistant due to the materials added to the base material).
For the eco-conscious, polyester fabric often sets off alarm bells. Since it's made of plastic, it is well-known for being pretty bad for the environment. However, at Viesso, we're committed to offering a broad range of sofas perfect for the eco-conscious customer.
So, when we do stock brands that use polyester, we ensure it's in as sustainable a way as possible. For instance, the Silverlake Sofa from Gus uses PET fill for its sofa cushions. This polyester fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles, giving new life to our plastic waste.
Velvet sofa fabric is having a revival at the moment. Often, people pair bold velvet couches with bright wall colors and floral arrangements. As a sofa material, velvet is soft, luxurious, and richly textured. It can be made from both synthetic fibers, like polyester, as well as natural fibers, like cotton and bamboo.
Velvet, as a sofa material, lends itself best to cooler environments where the aim is to be warm and cozy. Velvet sofa material tends to be relatively easy to clean, but the key is to act fast when you spot a spill!
Our Adelaide Sofa comes in two velvet options, rust and pewter, making it a versatile sofa for a range of different stylistic choices.
Microfiber is a fine synthetic upholstery fabric that can often be used to mimic other fibers, like suede and leather. It is a good upholstery fabric for those with kids because it tends to resist stains and is easy to clean. If you have pets, microfiber could be a problem as it attracts lint and pet hair easily.
The versatility of microfiber fabric sofas means that they are an incredibly common choice for people looking for a cheaper alternative to options like pure cotton, suede, and genuine leather.
Another incredibly common style of upholstery fabric is leather. Leather furniture is very popular, but there are two different kinds of 'leather' sofa fabric types to look out for.
Genuine leather sofas are luxurious and easy to maintain. They tend to age well and can be comfortable, though they are best in cooler environments where one is unlikely to stick to the seat! Leather sofas are, however, relatively costly and vulnerable to scratches (particularly if you've got pets). On top of this, leather sofas tend to come in more limited color options than fabric sofas.
For vegan shoppers, leather sofas are obviously unsuitable, and many other non-vegan customers may also choose not to have this animal product for their sofa's fabric. There is also debate as to whether leather or its faux counterpart, is better for the environment.
The Icon Sofa comes in premium leather with three colors to choose from.
Faux leather is a very common upholstery fabric that mimics more luxurious fabric choices. Like genuine leather, it's an excellent choice if your sofa is commonly spilled on, and it is relatively durable (though not quite as durable as real leather). Unlike genuine leather, faux leather comes in a wide range of colors and is resistant to fading.
However, since faux leather is most often made from petroleum-derived products, it can have a significant impact on the environment. There is also a potential for 'off-gassing', which is a chemical smell, mainly when the leather sofa is new.
As we mentioned, there is debate when it comes to leather sofa materials due to their environmental impact. While genuine leather is biodegradable, being a natural fabric, there must be consideration made for the environmental impact of cattle farming and the chemical tanning process (a crucial step in processing hides).
On the other hand, faux leather offers a reduced impact on animals and a lower carbon footprint, but it isn't biodegradable and is made using petroleum-based products.
For eco-conscious consumers, leather couch fabric is a bit of a landmine. At Viesso, we strive to make sure all of our products are long-lasting, so you can factor this into your decision on couch fabrics and their sustainability.
On top of the common sofa materials we have looked at above, there are some other fibers that sometimes get used for sofas.
Velour is a fabric used for its soft feel and luxurious appearance. It often comes in bold and beautiful colors and patterns. Indeed, our Greta Sofa, in rust, is a fantastic example of how this fabric can create a sofa that really stands out.
Velour tends not to be a good fabric if your sofa is likely to get stained, but aside from that, it is a relatively durable fabric, provided you choose good-quality velour.
Chenille is another great fabric for texture and comfort and has good fabric durability. However, it is prone to piling and while some chenille fabrics are treated to make them stain-resistant, others are highly prone to stains.
Chenille is an all-season fabric, meaning it works in many climates and is highly breathable. It also comes in many styles and colors. The Babi Sofa is made from a durable chenille.
Things you should consider when choosing a sofa fabric to make the choice easier include the following.
The couch fabric type you choose can have a significant impact on the feel, comfort, and style of the sofa. It is a big decision, but we have broken down some of the most common fabrics and how they stand up against each other here. Use this guide to work out the best fabric for your sofas.
If you're looking for a range of sofas made from durable fabrics that offer variety, style, and sustainability, then Viesso has got you covered. Check out our full range of modern, artisan-made sofas now.
]]>Playing ping pong on an outdoor benefits introduces multiple benefits. For example, you can burn calories without having to go to the gym or go out on a run. Also, some ping pong tables double up as outdoor dining tables, making them an easier sell for those who don’t like ping pong.
However, how do you choose an outdoor table to play ping pong? Continue our ping pong outdoor tables guide for a comprehensive list of the best outdoor table tennis tables on Viesso and more.
Before going into the best ping pong tables on Viesso, we need to go into more detail on why you should have one.
Playing ping pong on an outdoor table allows you to enjoy it as a pastime while getting some fresh air. The natural scenery will make the ping pong matches more entertaining.
Additionally, while you play ping pong on outdoor tables, you will get more exposure to sunlight, which will boost your vitamin D levels. Exposure to sunlight can also improve your mood.
The main other reason an outdoor ping pong table is a good option is that it gives you a good workout in your garden. There is no need to go to the gym or go out on a run.
You can also play them anywhere in the garden, including:
Thankfully, these ping pong tables can withstand multiple weather types, including wind, rain, snow, and more. Additionally, some will come with a cover to protect them from watermarks from the rain.
Waterproof ping pong tables also allow you to play all year round. With some cheaper options, you may only be able to play in the Summer.
They are waterproof and weatherproof because they have coatings that protect from weather like rain and UV rays.
Now you know why putting a ping pong table outside is a great idea, we need to detail the best options on Viesso.
These high-quality products come with two paddles, but they range in features, materials, and functionality.
Here are some Viesso outdoor ping pong tables for you to consider.
The main selling point of the James De Wulf Ping Pong Dining Table is that it doubles as a ping pong table and a dining table. Because it’s so versatile, it might be an easier sell if you need to convince other family members of the purchase.
Also, it consists of concrete, making it sturdy and durable. A sturdy table is perfect if you have a patio or deck that isn’t entirely even.
The only addition it needs to be perfect is cup holders; you can also use these to hold the paddles.
The James De Wulf Rolling Ping Pong Table is brilliant if you want to move the table around the backyard. You may not be happy with it in one specific place, so moving it around the backyard is the best option.
Also, the colors on offer are all natural and subdued so that they won’t clash heavily with anything in the garden.
Similar to the dining table option, it also uses concrete. It also doesn’t come with cup holders.
The main difference between the James De Wulf Vue Ping Pong Table and the other Viesso options is its slimmer and sleeker design. This option will fit better if you have a more understated garden design.
It also comes with paddles and balls, ready for you to play.
The Neuvo Ping Pong Table is an option your friends will love because of the gold net and the oak surface. It looks elegant and extravagant but is still functional because of the sturdy legs.
Also, the paddle options are wooden, so they are consistent with the design (the balls are standard).
Additionally, because of the materials, it is cheaper than many other outdoor table options on Viesso. However, the wood makes it less weather-resistant, so you may need a cover.
We presented you with many excellent outdoor table tennis table options, but how do you decide on the best one?
When choosing an outdoor table tennis table, consider the following:
Although you don’t necessarily need to clean the outdoor table tennis table every time before you play, it is a good idea to clean it regularly and remove stains and dirt.
Also, consider investing in a cover to place over the table for extra weather protection. If the table has a weather-resistant coating, you may not need a cover, but it’s there if you want to keep it completely safe.
Also, consistently check it for damage. If you find any damage on the table, repair it or replace it.
In summary, a table tennis table is an easy way to create fun outside while getting excellent exercise and health benefits like vitamin D.
If you are struggling to decide on a ping pong table for outdoor use, remind yourself of the aspects that matter the most to you, whether it be the price, size or playability.

]]>There are many different types of sofas, including sectional sofas, modular sofas, and sleep sofas. Even after you have chosen between these sofa styles, you need to pick other aspects of the sofa, like whether it will have rolled arms, what color the seat cushions will be, and whether you want a high or low-seated sofa. The choices are endless, but that's why we're here to help.
This guide will help you work out which type of sofa is the best choice for your space. Take a look below to learn more about the types of sofas you can get your hands on with Viesso.
At Viesso, we're proud to stock a vast variety of unique and stylish sofas. We pride ourselves on finding incredible craftsmanship and sofa styles that will last for years to come. Take a look below to find some common sofa styles you might consider.
A Chesterfield sofa is recognizable for its high rolled arms and back of the same height, sometimes with deep button tufting. Often made of leather, our Wallace Sofa is an excellent example of what Chesterfield sofas commonly look like.
A sectional sofa (also known as a modular sofa) consists of multiple sections that can be arranged as you please. These are great choices if you move around a lot, particularly for renters so that you can modify your sofa design to fit in the space that you have. Our Colyn Sectional Sofa is a great choice; with plump cushions and curved steel legs, it can fit in a range of spaces and interior design styles.
A camelback sofa is notable for its camel hump-shaped back, exposed legs, and tight back. Camelback sofas add quirkiness to any room.
Tuxedo sofas are perfect for anyone looking for stylish and contemporary sofas for their living space. With straight, squared-off arms and backs, tuxedo sofas, like our Mulholland Sofa, fit well into sleek and clean spaces.
A chaise lounge is essentially a long chair. It's perfect for laying out and relaxing and can be used as an addition to the traditional sofas already in your space.
Looking for traditional sofas? The English roll-arm sofa styles are perfect for you. With low backs, loose cushions, and signature rolled arms, this style exudes comfort and coziness.
Mid-century modern sofas were a trend that emerged in the mid-20th century and often have clean lines, tapered legs, and minimal ornamentation. They are perfect if you want a simple and functional sofa. Our Miller sofa, with wood legs and removable cushions, is a classic example of this style.
A Lawson sofa is a casual style notable for its low arms, skirted bottom, and box-shaped cushions.
While this is by no means an extensive list of all the sofa styles you can find on the market, these are a few key styles that are popular with many of our customers. Once you've got the style of the sofa you want chosen, it's time to consider functionality.
At Viesso, we pride ourselves on stocking sofas that adhere to the form follows function principle in furniture design, but you may have more uses for your sofa in mind than simply sitting.
Generally, sofas are used for sitting, relaxing, watching TV, and reading, but in some cases, your sofa may need to have more functionality than that. Do you often have guests over to stay? If so, a sleeper sofa could be a great choice.
Sleeper sofas are convertible sofas with dual purposes. They can essentially become another bed in your home. While an individual could sleep on a Chesterfield sofa, the chances are they won't be as comfortable as if they were to be sleeping on one of our sofa beds!
The range of sleeper sofas we have on offer varies in style, so they can fit into whatever kind of interior style you have in your space. For instance, our Unfurl Lounger Sofa Bed is a sleek, modern-style sofa that comes in many colors. Our Cubed Sofa Bed with Arms, on the other hand, mimics the style of a tuxedo sofa and can be converted into a sofa bed when needed.
Other functionalities to consider include who will be sitting on the sofa. For elderly people, a low-seated sofa may be challenging to rise from, so a high-seated sofa could be a better choice. Additionally, for those with recurring back problems, sofas with back support, like recliners or camelback sofas, could be a good choice.
Last of all, you're going to need to consider the space in which your sofa will go. We've already covered how sectional sofas and modular sofas can be rearranged, making them a good choice for renters or frequent movers. But there are other things to consider.
For a sofa that is going to be placed in an office space, a sofa with a straighter back, like mid-century modern sofas or other contemporary sofas, might be better than something like an English roll arm. This is because while English roll arm couches exude comfort with their loose and plush sofa cushions if you're greeting colleagues or working on your sofa, you likely want a sofa style that won't send you to sleep!
You may also be looking into the types of sofas that can be used in outdoor settings. Often, this kind of sofa will have removable seat cushions or cushions made of a waterproof material. The frame will also be made of something sturdy and weatherproof to ensure it withstands outdoor conditions.
At Viesso, we have many options for outdoor sofas, including the Brumas Sofa, a roll-arm sofa made of lacquered aluminum; outdoor sectional sofas, like the Stripe Configuration 7 and the Paletti Modular Lounge Set; outdoor corner sofas, like the Level Right-Corner Sofa, and other sofa styles that are suited to your deck area and garden.
Along with the different types of sofas to consider, you may also want to consider the types of sofa materials you would like.
It is uncommon for sleeper sofa options or sofa beds to be made of materials like leather or PVC because this would make for uncomfortable sleeping. However, you may also want to avoid anything sticky like this for a regular sofa. If you've got kids, you might be looking for dark colors or washable fabric. And for frequent movers, you might want a color or fabric that can fit easily into already-painted walls in rented homes.
On top of these considerations, you might be looking for a way to bring your sustainable living ethos into your furniture. You can do this by shopping with Viesso. We're committed to finding lasting styles in functional designs made with materials that do less harm to the planet than traditional sofa materials.
There are many different types of sofas, from corner sofas with curved arms to sectional couches with exposed wood legs to mid-century sofa designs and track-arm sofa styles. It can feel overwhelming trying to choose.
Our guide has covered an easy way to break down your furniture shopping experience to ensure that you find the perfect sofa for your living room, office, or decking area. Consider the style, functionality, and space that the sofa is going to be in before making your purchase.

]]>Let’s consider what to look for when buying a sofa bed. Read on to digest our comprehensive guide to buying the perfect sofa bed.
A sofa bed offers users a piece of furniture with a dual purpose; during the day, you can use the furniture as a sofa, and then overnight, it can be transformed into a bed.
Sofa beds are a popular choice for individuals who live in small homes or apartments, combining the practicality of a living room with the comfort and serenity of a bedroom.
They are also a good option if you want a room that you can use on a regular basis that can double up as a guest room when you have friends or family staying over.
Sofa beds differ according to size and the way that they transform from a sofa to a bed. You can purchase a sofa bed that is suitable for one person to sleep on, as well as 2-seater and 3-seater sofa beds for more than one guest.
Here are our top 7 types of sofa beds:
A traditional-size sofa bed is a pull-out sofa bed that generally resembles a comfy sofa during the day. The seat of the sofa is then pulled-out, and guests can sleep on the bed quite comfortably.
Usually, pull-out sofa beds are as comfortable as regular beds and look as good as regular sofas. Check out this queen-size Cosial sofa bed from Viesso.
A box bed is a small sofa bed that looks like a large ottoman when it is folded away. As a sofa, it resembles an upholstered bed with no back or arms.
When pulled apart, the box bed turns into an acceptable single bed and can be easily tidied away when morning arrives.
If you are looking for an impressive sofa bed, a contemporary corner sofa bed could be the answer. This option is perfect for when multiple guests stay yet offers a luxury focal point in your living space.
Daybeds are a great alternative for single guests or if you want a piece of furniture that does not require manual installation every night. A daybed is the size of a single bed yet has a back and arms that resemble a sofa.
A trundle bed looks like a standard single bed during the day. Yet, at night time, you can pull out a second single bed that is stored away, providing sleeping space for two guests. A significant benefit of a trundle bed is that you will receive a quality mattress for each guest.
An A-frame bed is a good choice for single guests and looks like a small sofa during the day. To turn the sofa bed into a bed, simply push the back of the sofa down, and it folds out to create a flat surface.
A clic-clac sofa bed looks like a traditional, comfy sofa that can be as big as a 3-seater sofa. To turn into a bed, the back of the sofa is pushed down flat until you hear a click and is usually big enough for two people. A great choice is the Unfurl sofa bed from Viesso.
To gain the best fit for your new sofa bed, measure the entire floor space where the sleeping area will be. Consider any door openings as well as window heights, thinking about access into and out of the room.
You must include space to walk around the room after the bed has been pulled out, creating a comfortable sleeping area that does not feel claustrophobic. Read more on tips when buying furniture by reading our blog.
If you purchase a quality sleeper bed from a high-end curator like Viesso, you will receive a comfortable mattress with high-density foam for your guests to sleep on. Purchasing cheaper sofa beds from other providers may result in reduced comfort.
However, for additional comfort, you can purchase slimline mattresses and toppers especially made for sofa beds, such as memory foam mattresses.
When you buy a sleeper sofa bed you must look after your purchase. Care for your sofa bed in the same way that you would care for your main sofa or couch in your living room.

]]>So, join us as we explore the versatility of these items further and guide you through how to choose an ottoman for your living space.
An ottoman is a versatile furniture item that can be used for many purposes.
The original purpose of an ottoman was as a seat without a back or arms. Originating in the Ottoman Empire, an ottoman looked like a padded bench and would typically be piled with soft, luxurious cushions.
Today, modern ottomans are usually much smaller and are used as additional pieces of furniture in the home. Many ottomans contain internal storage and are additionally used as a pouf or stool, and an extra seat in the family room.
Ottomans have adapted further with the most contemporary pieces doubling up as a coffee table and a center accent piece in the home.
Here are our top 7 ottoman styles to help you decide which piece is right for you:
A standard ottoman offers an extra seat in your home, typically upholstered and matching the main sofa in the room. Seated ottomans are sometimes connected to a modern sectional sofa.
Usually shorter than a seated ottoman, a footrest ottoman is like a pouf and is used to rest your feet when seated on the main sofa.
Offering a hinged upholstered lid, a storage ottoman reveals a hidden compartment where you can store any items you want.
Many ottomans now consist of a flat surface so they can be used as coffee or side tables and are usually square ottomans. This type of ottoman is usually luxurious and is a centerpiece in the home.
A series of ottomans consisting of different sizes can be used and nested together when not in use. Typically, three ottomans will be provided, offering three additional seats in your family room.
Usually placed at the foot of a bed, a rectangular ottoman in the bedroom looks like a bench and can be used for seating in the bedroom. Many bedroom ottomans offer storage, perfect for storing towels or blankets.
Outdoor ottomans can also enhance your seating arrangement, adding seating to your garden sofa or armchair furniture.
The best height for an ottoman will vary depending on what you want to use the furniture for:
However, these measurements are just a guide. Measure the space and required height in your room to determine the best ottoman height to aim for.
To choose the right ottoman for you, follow these simple steps:
The main decision you will need to make is to consider the purpose of the furniture piece. How will you use the ottoman? Do you need storage? Will its primary use be as a seat, a stool, or a coffee table?
Consider how big you want the furniture item to be, thinking about how much space you have in the family room or living space. Take accurate measurements to ensure you purchase an ottoman of the right size, in addition to considering the size of your main sofa or couch.
Think about the style of ottoman you want in your home. Do you want the ottoman to match the main sofa in your living space, or do you want a complete contrast? For further inspiration, check out our blog about Making Your House Look Expensive.
You can purchase square ottomans, rectangular ottomans or circular ottomans, so which shape would suit your home best?
As a general rule, square ottomans suit being used as a coffee table whereas a bedroom ottoman is usually a rectangular shape. Footstool ottomans can usually be any shape although are smaller.5.
Again, do you want your ottoman to match the colors in your living space or offer a splash of color as an accent piece?
Ottomans come in all types of price budgets so there really is something to suit everyone. The more unique pieces such as the Ekka Ottoman from Viesso will cost more, although lower priced choices such as the Tufty Ottoman are also available.

]]>Read on as we explain our best fabric sofa care tips to keep your upholstery fabrics vibrant and clean.
Care for your fabric sofa from the moment of purchase. After all, your new sofa is so much more than a piece of furniture!
Consider where your new sofa will be placed in your living room. Positioning your sofa under a window could cause your fabric color to fade over time, whilst an opened window could entice raindrops and debris to fall on your sofa.
It is also essential that your sofa does not rest against a radiator and that there is a gap between the sofa and the heat emitted.
Also think about the cushions and throws you place on your new sofa. Any such additions should be made with colorfast fabric to prevent color stains being transferred to your couch.
There are certain tasks that should be completed daily to take care of your sofa, whilst other cleaning processes should be performed weekly or every 6 months.
If you spill something on your sofa, you must take action immediately to prevent lasting damage.
Follow these essential steps:
Depending on the fabric used for your sofa, you could purchase a fabric protector treatment spray to add a layer of protection against spillages.
To apply a fabric protector treatment, simply spray across the couch and a protective barrier will form. Then, if a liquid is spilled onto the fabric, the barrier will stop the liquid being absorbed into the fibers.
Fabric protector treatments do not last forever, however, and should be reapplied every few months to gain the best layer of protection.

]]>Along with eye-catching decor immersing your entertainment space, modern sectionals provide unrivaled comfort and luxury for the big screen. Every seat is the best seat in the house when you include an entertainment sectional sofa in your media room.
Let’s take a deeper look at how you can design the perfect movie room and the factors you should consider.
A movie room is a dedicated space in your home where you will watch movies and TV shows, and even play video games.
Others may call this space a media room or a home theater room. However, its overall purpose is to create the perfect viewing experience for yourself, friends and family, adding comfort with a sectional such as the Adelaide Bi-sectional sofa.
To create a movie room in your home, you must have a secondary space that is not your regular living room. You could repurpose a family room, an unused dining room, or a guest bedroom as your very own media room.
It is also essential that your movie room space is a closed room and not part of an open plan living area to savor the immersive experience.
Your entertainment room should measure at least 15 x 20 feet and have a ceiling height of no less than 7 feet. A smaller space may feel too cramped, particularly if you are installing a large TV screen or projector.
If you are constructing a new room from scratch, try to make sure that the width of the new room is 1.6 times the ceiling height. Similarly, ensure that the length of the room is 2.3 times the height of the ceiling. These ratios create the perfect atmosphere for your entertainment room.
Of course, you should also ensure that your space is big enough for a comfy entertainment sectional. The Hollywood large sectional sofa is the perfect choice, offering plenty room for guests with a 12.8 feet width.
Follow these top 6 ideas when designing your entertainment room:
Usually, in your home you will want more natural light. That means more windows in each room allowing natural light to flood your home.
However, when creating a movie room, you want the exact opposite. Choose a space that has as little natural light as possible, such as a basement or even a loft. Any windows located in the room should have curtains that blackout the light from outside.
If you are constructing your new movie room, consider soundproofing the walls.
Not only will soundproofing prevent other people in the house from hearing noise emitted from your entertainment space, but you will also stop other sounds from interrupting your movie experience.
After all, you really don’t want to hear the vacuum cleaner or the dishwasher when you are in the middle of watching an immersive thriller!
What room decor do you want to choose for your media room? Perhaps you want a traditional decor with eye-catching red velvet carpets and the obligatory popcorn machine? Or, will you opt for a minimalist look with classic, inoffensive color tones?
Whichever interior design look you go for, try to keep your walls and ceiling painted dark colors, offering greater visibility for your movie screen.
Light walls and white ceilings reflect light, which are not great choices for a movie room.
Home theater seating must offer more than a standard sofa. After all, you want to create the perfect viewing experience for your guests. To achieve this, opt for home theater sectionals, seating up to 10 guests with just one large U-shaped sectional sofa.
Viesso has many modern sectional sofas to choose from to suit every space and every color scheme. The Anders L-Sectional sofa is perfect when maximizing the corners of a room, or opt for the Gigi modular sofa if a chaise longue feature is what you are looking for.
If you have a big enough room, consider adding tiered flooring to your entertainment space to increase your guest capacity. This could involve a sloped floor, or steps built into your floor with a row of seating located on each step.
When choosing tiered seating, invest in the Parla modular sofa or the Seraphina modular sofa to tailor your modular couch to the space available.
Once you have the perfect movie space layout and your entertainment room interior design ideas decided, you now need to consider your equipment.
Will you choose a TV screen or a projector?
A TV screen is the easier option as you can connect the TV screen to your streaming apps as you would when watching television in your living room.
A projector is more complicated to install although you would receive a more authentic home movie theater experience that a TV screen cannot compete with.
Also, consider installing surround sound to gain the audio effects of the movie theater for your guests. The subwoofer should be placed on the ground although the speakers themselves should be located at sitting level, unless specifically designed to be wall mounted.
If you are looking to install high-end furniture in your movie room, look no further than Viesso. Viesso offers a range of entertainment sectionals that can be tailored to any space for a wide range of functions.
At Viesso, we aim to provide the best solutions for modern decor in the home, curating products that stand out from the interior designer crowd. Utilizing the best in modern technology whilst staying true to sustainable living and high-quality minimalism, we have furniture for every taste.

]]>It's often the focal point of a room, and whether we decorate it with soft throws or comfortable cushions, we work hard to make it as accommodating as possible for as long as we can.
If you're wondering how long a sofa should last, good question. A couch should last an average of 7-15 years, which doesn't sound like an exceptionally long time. However, many factors can affect the lifespan of a sofa, like the materials it's made with and the construction techniques used to make it.
Let's look at the factors that affect a sofa's lifespan and how you can prolong for as long as possible.
Many factors play a part in a sofa's lifespan. The materials, construction, maintenance, and design may impact how long a sofa lasts, and being aware of these factors can help you make an informed choice about the one you decide to add to your home.
Here are some of the factors that affect the longevity of a sofa:
The specific materials used for a sofa can affect how long it lasts, as some materials are more durable. Higher quality materials are more resistant to general wear and tear, damage, and fading, and your sofa will look visually pleasing and stay strong for longer.
If you're shopping for a new sofa, consider genuine leather or fabric upholstery as the material. These materials are aesthetically pleasing and will last for a long time without looking worn or fading and tearing. These materials are also less likely to develop blemishes. Furthermore, they're comfortable and will look great in any living room.
The Cabot Sofa is made with top grain, aniline-dyed leather for a sophisticated and robust look. With tight seat and back cushions that are medium-density polyurethane foam covered in a Dacron wrap, this sofa will keep its comfort and shape for an extended period.
A sofa's frame is the backbone of its longevity, as a poorly constructed frame will cause a sofa to deteriorate quickly. Materials like solid hardwood and metal will remain sturdy for a long time, as they're durable materials you can trust. They'll also help a sofa maintain its shape, helping it last longer and keep its look and comfort.
The weight of the sofa should be evenly distributed to keep the structure as sturdy as possible. This support will help a sofa last longer as it is less likely to wear down over time. Frames that also consider backrests with reinforced legs and arms will help it last longer.
The Distrikt Sofa has brass-capped cast-iron legs for a sturdy and attractive look. The high-quality frame of the sofa ensures it's long-lasting, and the solid oak base will keep it standing firm as the heart of your home.
The quality of the cushions
Cushions play a prominent role in the comfort of a sofa; without them, they wouldn't have the same appeal. Opting for cushions with durable memory foam will help them keep their shape for longer with the same high levels of comfort without sagging.
Furthermore, tightly woven fabric is a durable material for a sofa's cushions as it's a durable option that'll resist abrasion even after many uses.
Reversible cushions are effective for allowing even more wear and tear, and you can extend their lifespan by flipping them over regularly. Cushions are essential for a sofa's quality, and it's important to make sure you're choosing the best quality materials and designs to prolong the life of your sofa.
To avoid having to replace your couch regularly, take the construction techniques into account. Modern techniques work to create sturdier and stronger sofas that will keep their look and strength over time. You may find yourself drawn towards the charm of a traditionally built sofa, but keep in mind the practices compared to modern ideas.
Modern construction techniques include interlocking frames and reinforced joints with high-tech devices and methods. They aim for elite precision to create robust sofas that'll last you for as long as possible.
The Silverlake XL Sofa is manufactured to meet California TB117-2013 fire safety standards without using flame retardant additives in the upholstery foam, adding to the safety of the sofa. FSC-Certified wood is used for the inner frame, creating a solid backbone and structure.
Once you know what to look out for when buying a sofa, you can decide on the most high-quality and durable piece of furniture. Aim for optimum comfort and a sofa that will keep its shape, design, and quality even after years of use.
There are some steps you can take if you want to prolong the lifespan of your sofa. Caring for your sofa is essential for it to last as long as possible, so by keeping its condition in mind, you can take productive steps to keep it as comfortable, clean and visually pleasing as ever.
Let's take a look:
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance are essential for prolonging the lifespan of a sofa. By cleaning your sofa regularly, you're not only keeping it looking and feeling fresh, but you're preventing it from wear and tear and dirt and debris from building up.
Using specific cleaning products, vacuuming the crevices and couch cushions, spot cleaning, or hiring a professional can help keep your sofa in excellent condition.
The positioning and placement of a sofa can play a part in its lifespan. If your sofa is placed in direct sunlight or if it's exposed to humidity and extreme temperatures, it could become prematurely damaged. These factors may impact the frame's sturdiness and the cushions' condition or color, so it's a good idea to keep it away from moisture and position it away from the harsh light of a window.
Excessive weight and stress can impact a sofa's lifespan as it could damage the structure and build. A high-quality sofa should be able to withstand heavy weight and usage, but if it's constantly feeling impact or being moved about, it may begin to deteriorate.
Protecting your sofa's integrity will make it last longer without needing to be replaced. Aim to prolong your sofa's life for as long as possible, and it'll stand strong, ready for you to sink into after a long, hard day. By investing in high-quality sofas, you won't need to worry about them prematurely falling apart or becoming damaged.
By investing in quality, you'll prolong the lifespan of your sofa, and it'll remain visually pleasing as the focal point of your room. Reliable companies and manufacturers ensure their sofas are built for the long run. With practical techniques and high-quality craftsmanship, you'll pay the price of quality.
Even if a high-quality sofa seems more expensive, it's a long-term investment as it's built to last, and you'll save time and hassle of having to replace it due to less wear and tear or damage. Invest in quality and enjoy a long life with your sofa binge watching your favorite shows, or catching up with your family and friends.
At Viesso, we understand the importance of a high-quality sofa with a long lifespan and our couches are built to last. How long a sofa lives is not straightforward, but by considering the materials used, the construction techniques, and the quality and design of the frame, you can make an informed decision about the right one for you.
Furthermore, regularly cleaning your sofa, considering the position, and maintaining its integrity will help it last longer, keep its comfortable shape, and serve you well. Shop our collection of high-quality sofas today for a long-lasting couch, or contact us for more information.
]]>Transforming your outdoor space into an area where peace and quiet dominate will allow you to take a break from reality and enjoy the moments of solace in your sanctuary. We've got you covered if you want to create an outdoor oasis and don't know where to start.
We've created a guide to help you seamlessly upgrade your outdoor space into a place of relaxation and restoration. Let's take a look:
Defining your vision is a great place to start when creating an outdoor oasis. Consider the way you want to transform your space and envision what you'll use it for. From a snug seating area for peaceful book-reading sessions to an al-fresco dining area for outdoor summer dinner parties, your space can be anything you desire.
Decide on the style you want to resemble and the type of furniture you need to get it. There are countless outdoor furniture styles, from chic synthetic rattan to classic aluminum, so think about what you're using the space for. Be as realistic as possible and aim to utilize and enhance the space you already have.
Think about the different activities that will take place in your outdoor setting. If you're the designated host for outdoor drinks on a Friday night, consider a large outdoor sofa or dining table and chairs to fit all your guests. Equally, if you want to sip warm tea in the evening sun, consider a comfortable armchair with ambient lighting.
Creating the perfect spot begins with an idea, so think carefully about the style and particular use you'll use the space for. Take inspiration from magazines or browse online to see the different types of available furniture. This vision will guide you through creating the picture-perfect place you’ve always wanted.
The proper lighting can set the mood of your tranquil space and create a charming atmosphere where you can unwind and relax. There are many options available that'll transform your outdoor area, whether you opt for string lights draped above the seating area to create enchantment or solar-powered lights for eco-friendly tranquility.
Use outdoor lights to illuminate steps or pathways, highlight any hazards in the way or lead guests to the comfortable snug in the corner. If you have an outdoor kitchen area, make sure it's lit up for optimum safety and to accentuate your modern design.
To create a magical place after dark or in the bronzy glow of sunset, opt for soft lighting for the ultimate relaxing environment. If you have any trees or greenery in your outdoor space, consider lighting them up for an additional touch of charm and light-up conversation areas with wall lights or lanterns. Chat with friends or snuggle up under the inviting lights of your outdoor haven.
The Lighthouse Lantern Large is perfect for any outdoor space or terrace. Its glass and aluminum design will add a polished and chic look, and the warming light will create a soft atmosphere that adds a sense of calm to your outdoor space.
Adding accessories will give your outdoor space a personal touch while adding charm and comfort. Add some soft outdoor throws and pillows to your furniture to create an inviting and enchanting space.
If your outdoor space has a dining room for family dinners and friendly gatherings, you should dress it up with outdoor accessories. Opt for outdoor-friendly placemats to elevate every meal or add some candles to the center of the table to light when the sun sets.
If you're feeling extra creative, opt for some outdoor sculptures or artwork to add a personal element to the space. Consider the outdoor elements and whether your accessories are weather-resistant to prevent them from damage. Add a focal point like a fire pit and face your garden chairs towards it for a cozy, comforting and warming place to unwind.
The Fire Black Teak Table is a luxurious granite surface with a stainless steel fire pit burner, ideal for a chic and modern outdoor area. Sit back and let the warmth of the fire send you into a world of tranquil oasis.
In an oasis atmosphere, greenery is vital for setting the mood. Depending on your outdoor space, the size, the location and your climate, add some greenery with plants that thrive in an outdoor setting. From hanging plants to potted and vertical plants, add a pop of color with striking tones and a touch of nature to your tranquil setting.
You could add water features like a peaceful pond or a free-flowing fountain if you have a larger space. The added touch of nature will transform the space into a vibrant-looking area and amplify the tranquility. What better way to relax after a hard day's work than in a peaceful place surrounded by your favorite plants and flowers?
Flowers or plants could be a centerpiece for an outdoor dining or coffee table. You could also use a tall and striking plant for extra privacy in a strategic place, as it shields your oasis from the rest of the world.
To display your greenery or growing plants proudly in your outdoor space, the Drop Outdoor Greenhouse is a classy feature that will entice your guests. If you decide to grow herbs or vegetables, show them off to your guests or admire them from afar as you sink into your comfortable garden furniture.
Furniture is the backbone of a comfortable outdoor oasis, and choosing the right kind that fits your space, meets your needs and reflects your style is essential. We all know that the right house and garden outdoor furniture will enhance your space, so choosing one that works for you will elevate your area and create the perfect place to relax.
Depending on your space, you could opt for bistro sets for a classic and timeless look. Transport yourself to the streets of Paris with the 1900 Armchair and sink into your dining chair as you take in your peaceful surroundings.
Aluminum, all-weather wicker and teak are durable materials suitable outdoors, as they'll keep their sleek look in all conditions. You can add your style with cushions and throws for a more comfortable seating experience. From sun loungers, dining sets to sofas and sectionals, create a comfortable environment you won't want to leave.
Whether it's the Pure Live Edge Dining Table or the Columbus Sunbed, enhance your space and transform it into a place where you can sink into comfortable furniture and unwind after a long day.
Creating your outdoor oasis takes a carefully planned vision and the art of bringing it to life.

]]>Dining room light fixtures are essential to home lighting because it's where you eat and talk to your family and friends. The lighting must add atmosphere and illumination to bring the room to life.
However, how do you choose modern dining room lighting? Read our guide to learn why modern chandeliers and dining room lights are crucial and how to choose the best product.
Apart from making it easier to see in your home, lighting can improve the atmosphere in the rooms by adding a soft glow. It’s also important not to limit this to one room; you must provide excellent lighting for every room in your home.
The style of lighting matters depending on the room you want to put it in. For example, you ideally want bright enough lights for a dining room to see what you’re eating, but you may also want alternative, dimmer lights for the dining area that offer more atmosphere.
Modern chandeliers cut back on the vast extravagance you expect from a traditional chandelier. Instead, they focus on more subtle designs and incorporating contemporary materials to complement a modern home.
They also embrace a more contemporary look by embracing more modern, geometric shapes instead of the intricate designs of the past.
The reasons you should consider a modern chandelier for your dining room instead of a classic one include:
You may understand why you should consider modern chandelier products, but that doesn’t make it any easier to choose one.
To help you get a good start, here are the common dining room chandelier types you may come across.
Crystal chandeliers are for those who love a bit of glamour to finish the aesthetic of their dining room. The reflections they create when light bounces off the crystals create a beautiful room aesthetic.
These are excellent chandelier choices for modern homes with a Scandinavian-type design.
They are minimalistic and can often look like art pieces in your dining room.
An example of an excellent geometric chandelier on our website is the James De Wulf Armadillo Chandelier.
These are modern designs characterized by the many straight, striking arms that spread from the chandelier’s center.
They spark immediate intrigue due to their contemporary, almost futuristic design. If you have a mid-century modern home, these chandeliers are ideal.
These spherical chandelier designs are suitable for many styles of dining rooms, including a more traditional home or a design that is moving towards modern.
You can use our spherical Illana Pendant as a chandelier; it combines the design of a globe chandelier with a more geometric look.
Drum chandeliers are similar to a globe design but more understated, making them ideal for a dining room with a subdued look.
These are usually much larger than regular chandeliers, so you need the space to fit them above the table.
The reason to get one is that it can be a centerpiece for the entire house, not just the dining room.
A great example of one of these is our James De Wulf Falling Flowers Chandelier.
The first thing you need to do to find the best chandelier for your dining room is to find the best type. Doing this involves assessing the design of your dining room and finding an option that suits that aesthetic.
However, dining room style isn’t the only consideration.
You must measure the ceiling space in your dining room and the size of your dining room table.
It doesn’t matter if you find a chandelier you like if it won’t fit your desired space.
Also, measure the space between the ceiling and table; you don’t want the chandelier to overcrowd the room.
Budget is a massive consideration for chandeliers and all dining room lighting because you may be unable to afford the best products.
Because of this, you must conduct thorough research to find chandeliers that fit your budget and design goals. Check the quality of the materials used; you shouldn’t compromise if you don’t have to.
You also need to save some of your budget for the installation process.
As well as a chandelier, there are many other types of dining room lighting to consider, including:
In all likelihood, you will want the dining room lights you choose to match the main colors in your dining room. Therefore, it is a good idea to understand the finishes and materials for dining room lighting.
Here are some of the popular materials and finishes you can expect to find with dining room lights:
In summary, modern chandeliers and light fixtures for a dining room are vital considerations for adding illumination and atmosphere to your dining room.
Multiple types and finishes are available, but if you research many options and measure your space, you should be able to find the right product.

]]>However, how do you choose a modern light fixture? Read our guide for details on the best outdoor light types (Outdoor pendants, for example) and how to choose one.
Although illuminating the outside of your home is the primary goal of outdoor lighting, its significance goes way beyond that.
Here are some reasons why outdoor lighting can benefit your home:
Along with all of these benefits, modern lighting introduces new positives you need to consider, including:
Now you understand why modern outdoor lighting can be a positive addition to your home, we need to detail the main types of outdoor lighting fixtures and what we can offer at Viesso.
Here are the most common and popular types of outdoor lighting.
Outdoor wall lighting is excellent if you want to create a perimeter of lights around your front and back garden.
As well as flat walls, you can place wall lights on pillars and fences.
Additionally, wall lights don’t have to stick out too much. If you want a wall light that fits a subdued garden aesthetic, try our Ginger LED wall lights for outdoor use.
Outdoor ceiling lights are excellent for covering a large amount of space in an outdoor area.
Most of the lights we do for walls are also suitable for a ceiling. For example, an excellent choice to look at is our Plaff-on LED light for a wall or ceiling. It’s a large enough light for a ceiling and illuminates a space excellently.
Post lights are brilliant options for illuminating specific parts of the garden. You can plant them at any point in the garden, so consider the garden design before deciding on the number of lights and their locations.
Additionally, outdoor post lights are brilliant for illuminating the back of your garden to deter criminals from entering there.
Many post lights look cumbersome and out of place, but we have a sleeker, slimmer model that fits into a garden more. Therefore, check out our Ginger B20 Bollard lights.
Porch lights are essential if you want to create a brilliant atmosphere for gatherings on your porch.
Although wall lights can do this, you can get free-standing lamps to place on your porch or porch furniture.
Outdoor pendant lighting is very similar to ceiling lighting, but they are more aesthetically pleasing. If you have a porch with a roof, outdoor hanging lights can be the centerpiece.
You can suspend outdoor hanging lights from many places, including a gazebo roof, a pergola, or a sturdy tree branch. If you want outdoor hanging lights for a tree branch, check the outdoor pendants to see if that is a suitable installation option.
Our Soho Outdoor pendant lights are fantastic to create a moody atmosphere outside.
Once you decide on an outdoor light type (outdoor hanging lights, for example), you must research to find the best one.
Here are our tips for making the best outdoor lighting choice:
The other thing you must be aware of when researching outdoor light fixtures is that many brands make high-quality lights.
On the surface, it can be challenging to determine the brand that suits you. Research its products, history, and mission statement to find the right outdoor light brand.
We hope our excellent lighting products point you towards Viesso, but it makes sense that you do as much research as possible.
Here are some well-known outdoor lighting brands you may come across:
We recommend hiring a professional outdoor lighting installer to install your lights, especially if they are a delicate type like outdoor pendants.
If you want to install outdoor hanging lights (or any other light type) yourself, ensure you know exactly where it's going and have all the necessary safety equipment.
Also, although modern outdoor lighting requires less maintenance than traditional lighting, you must clean the lights regularly and check for cracks or damage.
In summary, outdoor lighting can completely transform your garden if you embrace it. It also provides many other benefits, including saving you money on energy and maintenance.
We recommend looking at a wide range of outdoor lighting fixtures to ensure you find the best one.

]]>Without excellent lighting for your kitchen island, you increase the chance of injuries and accidents; they also make cooking a far more pleasurable experience.
Continue our guide to fully understand why pendant lighting is the best option for your kitchen.
Modern pendant light products are an excellent and contemporary way to light a home. They are pendant lamps suspended from your ceiling with a chain or cord (similar to chandeliers).
You can get multiple styles and sizes (more on this below) and often customize them to fit your kitchen needs.
There are also multiple benefits of hanging pendant lights. The main one is providing excellent lighting quality, making your kitchen more aesthetically pleasing and safer.
Here are some other benefits of modern pendant lamps.
Pendant lights are not only for one type of kitchen; they can enhance the layout of many kitchen types.
For example, if you have an open-concept kitchen with a kitchen island, you can use pendants to highlight specific kitchen areas, making the layout more exciting. Our Volo pendants are a great example of a pendant that can do this.
Although some kitchen lights are there simply to light the kitchen, pendant lights can go a step further than this by becoming the centerpiece of the kitchen.
They can do this because of their larger sizes and distinct design; they prove that lights don’t just need to be functional.
One of the best things about our pendant lighting selection is that there are many different styles, sizes, and materials, meaning they can suit many kitchen themes.
Some examples of themes you can install pendants in include:
Although the energy-efficient level of pendants for kitchen islands depends on the lighting type, LED lights are energy-efficient, and you can get many of them in pendant form.
LED pendants can save you on energy bills because they use less energy than incandescent lighting. They can also reduce light pollution and help to decrease your carbon footprint.
Now you understand the benefits that pendants for a kitchen island can get you, you may want to purchase one straight away.
However, before you do that, there are some considerations you must make.
If you get too small island pendant lights, they may not effectively light the space. Conversely, lights that are too large may be distracting and obstructive.
Therefore, you must measure the ceiling space, the cabinets, and the kitchen island to ensure you get the right light size.
The style of your kitchen will narrow down your choices for pendant lights for a kitchen island.
For example, if your kitchen has a modern style with subdued colors, you want to hang a pendant with a similar color scheme and style. The smooth slate gloss version of the Kaiser Idell Pendant Light is a great example that fits this style.
It’s worth looking at multiple pendant types because they can fit numerous kitchen styles.
Similar to matching your kitchen style, you should match the pendant materials to your kitchen’s dominant material.
For example, if your kitchen island primarily consists of wood, you should look for a wooden or wood-style pendant. Our Cano Pendants are an excellent example of this.
Finally, you must consider how much you’re willing to spend on pendant lighting. The options on Viesso can range from a few hundred dollars to above $ 1,000, so you need to decide how much you want to spend.
You should also consider the savings you will gain from using energy-efficient options like LED lights. You should calculate the energy bill savings from LED lights and decide if the higher product price is worth it on our online shop.
You must ensure correct installation for pendant lighting over a kitchen island or any part of your kitchen. Proper installation is essential because it can prevent accidents (the lights could fall if installed incorrectly) and make them last longer.
For installation over any part of the kitchen (a kitchen island, for example), you need to ensure that the distance from the island to the light is correct, as well as the distance between lights. Proper spacing maximizes the visual impact of the lights and prevents your kitchen from looking overcrowded.
While installing pendant lights over a kitchen island (or another part of your kitchen) can be cheaper at first, you can incur many expenses if you install it incorrectly, such as damage costs and maintenance.
For these reasons, we recommend a professional pendant installer to ensure your lights are precisely where you want them and safe to use.
Remember that even when installed correctly, you must maintain pendant lights by cleaning them with warm water and soap. You must also dust them regularly and maintain safety using a step ladder.
In summary, modern lighting in your kitchen can present a variety of benefits, and you have numerous styles, sizes, and materials to choose from.
We recommend taking this step to improve the aesthetics of your kitchen, the energy efficiency of your lights, and more.

]]>Continue our guide to get some insight into some of the best living room rug options on Viesso and how to choose a rug size for a living room.
Before looking at any rugs, you need to measure the dimensions of your living room. The best way to do this is with a tape measure, laser measure, or painter's tape (for measuring underneath furniture pieces). To get the most accurate dimensions, ensure you measure wall to wall and double-check all measurements.
You must also consider the living room shape before buying a rug. For example, if you have a rectangular room, a rectangular rug like the Bob Storm & Vanilla Rug. You must also determine if positioning the rug horizontally or vertically looks best for your living room size.
You also need to consider design features that may impact the aesthetics of the living room rug, including alcoves, windows, shelves, and more.
When looking at a living room rug, you want to leave a border of floor space around the rug so you can quickly determine the size rug you need once you do this and measure the room.
However, if you have a large room, you have way more options for the rug size that fits best.
You would expect that a large rug is the best option because it covers the visible floor space. If this is how you want to go, consider an option like MONO Dark Mud & Mud Rug, which will cover the living space and provide a subdued aesthetic.
Also, you need to rule out rugs for different purposes, such as dining room rugs (these typically go under the dining table).
You must also test several living room rug shapes to find the one that best matches your room. Some of these include:
The obvious reason to buy small rugs is if you have a very small living room. Small living rooms can only fit a specific size rug, and a rug that takes up too much space can look obtrusive.
Additionally, a small rug can compliment the furniture arrangement in your living room; it can provide a striking accent when paired with a coffee table or furniture legs on your couch. Our Tact rug is an excellent example of a rug that pairs well with other living room furniture.
Home decor should be a massive consideration when finding the perfect living room rug size.
You need to visualize how a specific rug size (or color) will affect your furniture layout. When looking at a smaller rug, you must see if the furniture fits on it.
Additionally, you must check the same for awkwardly shaped furniture like an L-shaped couch or a sectional. For example, for sectional, living room rugs must be visible to affect the room's design, so make the appropriate measurements to see what size rug for a living room with a sectional is best.
As well as searching for living room rugs that fit your living room, you should find one that compliments the style.
For example, if you have a modern living room style, you will likely want a rug size and style that doesn’t overpower the room; less is always more regarding modern design. Alternatively, you may want the rug to be the room's centerpiece, so something like our Construct Cargo Rug will fit your needs.
Also, you need to consider the color of the rug. Bold and bright colors often work as a living room centerpiece, whereas subdued colors are better for a subtle design.
You should also think about rug patterns and textures similarly; if a rug pattern clashes with other striking and bright furniture pieces, your living room design will look confused and off-putting, especially if you have a smaller living room.
After multiple considerations, you will answer the question, what size area rug for a living room is best? After this, the final consideration will be the budget.
Even if you have a large living room, you may need to buy a too-small rug because you can’t afford a larger area rug.
If this is the case, you can layer multiple small rugs. Doing this will make the rugs seem larger than they are and can be a good centerpiece if you layer patterns and colors that complement each other.
If you are on a tight budget, we have many cheaper rug options around $100 for you to choose from.
In summary, there are multiple considerations to get the perfect rug size for your living room, including the room size and shape, the positioning of the rug, how it will look with furniture, and more.
You must also consider design, color, texture, and price, along with rug size.
The perfect size rug can complete the look of your living room, so take time to make the right decision.
Whether your room is a spacious sanctuary or a snug snoozing area, different rug sizes will work better to tie the space together and add the right texture and style. To help you in your process of finding the perfect rug, we've created a guide to select the right one for your room. Let's get into it.
To create the ideal harmonious and stylish space, choosing the right rug size is essential. With such a large variety of spaces and rug options, there are some important factors to consider to ensure you choose the one that's the most suitable and will add the most character, comfort and style.
Here are some factors to consider:
Assessing the size and layout of your rug is essential to find the most suitable rug. Measure the width and length and consider any unique elements, like architectural features, that might affect the size of the rug. With smaller bedrooms, optimising the space is important and a smaller rug will help to enhance the space. With larger rooms, you have more space to work with and a larger, more eccentric rug could work well. Furthermore, longer rooms would look good with a rectangular rug, and wider rooms with a round one.
Architectural features like bay windows or alcoves could impact the way a rug looks, so keep them in mind. You may opt for a rug that fills the whole space or one one that highlights a certain feature or the surrounding furniture with its positioning.
Consider where the furniture is in your room and decide where you want the rug to go. It could go fully under your bed or extend out from one side, and working out the placement will help you decide which one will be the best for you. Consider other furniture pieces like dressers, bedside tables or chairs, and determine where you want your rug to go in relation to them.
The most significant piece of furniture placement is your bed, and considering the placement will help you determine the size of rug you need. Here are some ways you could position your rug depending on the placement of your bed:
Centred under the bed. You could place the rug under the bed so that equal parts and coming out from underneath. This will create balance in your room due to the symmetrical look, and this will work well in larger rooms where you have more space availability.
At the foot of the bed. You could put a small rug at the foot of the bed positioned horizontally to give off a sophisticated look.
Halfway under the bed. You could place your rug halfway under or under two thirds of the bed so you can give off a cozy and tucked away feel. If the rug extends out of the bed, it may make the room feel more intimate.
Extending out of the bed. You could position your rug so that it extends of your bed, which works well for large rugs and spacious rooms. If you have a king bed, or even a California king size bed, this will make the room luxurious and creates a soft space for walking around the bed.
Once you've decided where you want your rug to go, you can consider the other furniture pieces in your room and how they impact the size of the rug.
The size of your bed is a critical factor in finding the right size rug to use as the different sizes may require different dimensions. For example, small twin beds may look better with a smaller rug and larger beds like a Queen or King size bed will work well with bigger ones. With so many sizes available, here are some ways the size of your bed can affect the dimensions of the rug:
Twin bed. For a single twin bed, a 5'x8' or 6'x9' is often the best option. These sizes are ideal for small bedrooms as they let the rugs extend beyond the sides of the bed frame, creating a soft surface for stepping out of bed.
Queen sized bed or double bed. Typically, a 8'x10' or 9'x12' are the sizes most suitable for a queen size bed. These sizes will create space around the bed, defining it and drawing attention to it as the main feature of the room.
King size bed. Usually, rugs that are 9'x12' or 10'x14' are the best for larger rooms and beds. The size will ensure that the rug extends beyond the end and side of the bed on both sides. This will help to create a spacious and luxurious feel to the room as the bed is placed elegantly to sit on the rug.
A well-chosen rug will enhance the space of the room and create a cozy and homely feel. Choosing a rug the right size that works with your room and bed is highly practical and will create visual appeal.
It's important to consider how the rug size will impact the balance of the room. A well-chosen rug will balance out the room and ensure the proportions of the room don't feel overcrowded or too spread apart. In smaller rooms, small rugs will offer a cozy feel and create a warm and inviting atmosphere. In larger rooms, rugs that extend beyond the bed or entire bed frame will create a sense of grandeur and luxury.
Rugs come in various styles and shapes, reflecting a vide range of aesthetics to suite various locations. The most common rugs are rectangular, but round or square are other options to consider that will look great in a wide range of rooms. Depending on the theme and style of your room, you could use your rug as a focal point of a room, or one with a more subdued pattern to create a streamlined flow.
A large rectangle rug may suit a minimalistic room with neutral colours and clean lines. Alternatively, a small round rug with bold colours or a strong pattern could be used as an exciting feature to add to the centre of a room.
Practicality is a vital consideration when choosing a bedroom area rug. Consider the maintence and how easy it'll be to clean. Furthermore, think about slipping hazards and how much floor space the rug allows. The bedroom rug size may impact the slipping hazard in the room as they could create a potential tripping hazard. Consider using a rug pad to avoid slipping so that it's not a safety hazard.
The rug size will also affect how easy it is to clean the floor underneath. This is important for vacuuming or moving the rug for a more thorough clean.
In the world of interior design, rugs play a vital role and finding the right sized one for your bedroom is essential to optimise your space and tie the room together. From king beds to small twin sized beds, different sized rugs work better in different rooms. By following our guide and considering the essential factors, you can find the right rug size for your room that'll create perfect harmony, balance and aesthetic appeal.
At Viesso, we understand the importance of a rug and the way the right sized one can impact the flow and look of your room. We have a wide selection of rugs in all different shapes and sizes to provide every bedroom with a stylish, modern and luxurious look.

]]>Depending on the size of your sectional, living room, coffee table or the amount of floor space you want to fill, it's worth considering the options available. We spend a lot of time in our living rooms, and creating a warm and inviting atmosphere is essential. The right rug will transform your room into a tranquil setting and add a functional addition to tie the room together.
To find the right rug for your U-shaped sectional, let's take a look at the sofas in more detail:
Before we dive into the captivating world of rugs, let's take a closer look at U-shaped sectionals. A U-shaped sectional is a trendy seating configuration consisting of three sectionals creating a "u" shape. The shape is ideal for large gatherings, big families and cozy movie nights. The enclosed feel of the U-shaped sectional is well-known for its ability to accommodate many people.
U-shaped sectionals are versatile and work in different sizes or layouts of rooms. They can become the focal point of a room, or they can strategically optimize space in more obscure or smaller rooms. For many homeowners, this type of sofa configuration is often considered highly indulgent and the epitome of comfort.
Amongst the many different sizes and designs of u-shaped sectionals are various rugs you can use to enhance your space further. If your U-shaped sectional looks as though it's missing the finishing touch, the right rug will do just that.
When finding the right size rug for a U-shaped sectional, there are several factors to consider. We all have different styles and preferences for our sectionals, and our room layouts and dimensions differ. To help you find your perfect size rug, we’ve created a guide you can follow to create your dream living room.
Let's take a look at the factors to consider:
Consider the specific room size and layout when finding the right rug for your sectional. To find the right rug for your space, consider where you'll place it and the style you want to achieve. Choose a rug that will leave even space around the edges to give your room a polished and streamlined look.
If you want the rug to dominate the space by taking up lots of floor space, consider a larger rug for the size of your room. Choosing the right size is essential, so consider the dimensions of your room, the size and the impact you want the rug to have. The rug you choose should be small enough to allow for walking space in the room.
The Gerda Woven Plastic Rug is extremely soft, functional and easily ties a room together. Its smaller size makes it ideal if you don't want a rug that dominates an entire room.
There are endless types of rugs, all with different shapes and sizes. When choosing a rug for a U-shaped sectional, consider the shape that'll look the best with the style. For example, a rectangular rug would give a streamlined look, but a square one may also work, depending on your room's design and the sofa's configuration.
You may find that round rugs clash with the "u" shape of the sectional, as they're too similar. Look around for rugs that will complement the space and sectional, and be aware of the space you need to fill. The Dana Ochre & Beige & Vanilla Rug is an excellent choice if your room feels disjointed, as it'll bring it all together with its rectangular shape and creative color combination.
Consider where you want it to go before deciding on the best rug to complement your U-shaped sectional. Consider the other furniture pieces in the area and how the rug should co-exist. A living room rug that extends beyond the sectional is the best option to keep the room streamlined and flowing. This will also allow for comfortable foot placement when people use the comfortable seating area.
Consider how the rug placement connects or separates the two areas if you have an open-plan space with a dining room. You can use the placement of a rug to create specific zones in the space; for example, if you place a rug underneath your dining table and sectional, consider the rug size you need to do so.
Think about whether you want other furniture items on top of the rug or you want it to fill the space of the "u" shape. A smaller rug will have a different placement to large rugs, so consider the dimensions of your room. The Mono White Rug will enhance your space with its modern look and sleek style, and its wide range of sizes means you can decide the placement you want.
Consider whether you want the legs of the sectional or the rest of your furniture to be partially or entirely on the rug for a visually pleasing combination. Commonly, the front legs of a sectional sofa and chairs should be placed completely on the rug, and the back legs rest on the floor. This dynamic connects the rug and sectional, enhancing the room's flow.
Depending on your size of sectional, you'll need to find a rug large enough to fit the legs on. Due to the shape of a U-shaped sectional couch, a small rug may not reach all the legs, and you may need to opt for a larger size to create an inviting and streamlined atmosphere.
The Bamboo Woven Runner Rug is ideal for tying a room together and will provide a polished look to any room. Available in small and large sizes, you can consider placing the furniture legs on the rug, depending on the size of your sectional.
U-shaped sectionals are a great place to unwind and relax; what better way to do that is by adding a cozy rug? Choosing the right rug for your space is essential, and by considering the dimensions of your room, the size, shape and placement of the rug and furniture placement, you can find the right size rug for your space.
At Viesso, we understand the importance of the right size rug, and our wide selection of rugs comes in different shapes and sizes. We've got it all, whether it's a sleek runner for the center of the "u" shape or a large rug to create an inviting atmosphere.

]]>Round coffee tables need more attention to detail than the traditional square or rectangular shape. Without the clean corners to work with, the circular shape requires a little more craft.
Styling a round coffee table allows you to showcase it as a modern feature, and it can tie your room together, increasing the flow and appearance of your thought-out space.
If you're wondering where to start and how to style a round coffee table, we've compiled a list of key points to create an effortlessly stylish coffee table, including how to use the round space to your advantage.
Add a small pile of thick books to one side of your round coffee table for a modern, sophisticated look. The number of books will depend on the size of your coffee table, but keep in mind that a smaller amount of thicker books will give a more polished look.
Choose a theme or a color scheme and build your stacked books from there. Display your favorite books; they can provide a great conversation starter and add a sleek and personal look to your round coffee table.
Adding fresh flowers to your round coffee table can add color, life, and height to your living room. Nothing says spring like flowers, and with that season approaching, it's a great time to include them in your home decor along with their pleasantly fragrant scents.
With a wide variety of flowers to choose from, get creative and work with the size of your table and room and the general vibe of your room. For example, a large vase with bright flowers would look great on a more oversized table without dominating the space.
Match the flowers' colors to your room, or use bold colors to stand out as a focal point and brighten up dark or neutral walls and decor. For a more subtle look, gypsophila is a classy flower that adds a soft touch and doesn't take up too much space. Or, for a more extravagant bunch of flowers, lily flowers attract attention and will dress up your coffee table.
If you're wondering how to style a round coffee table quickly and simply, add a candle to create a cozy atmosphere. The countless different looks, styles and smells of candles will create a comforting ambience and transform your room into a tranquil heaven.
Choose a candle that matches your interior, and it'll look great on top of a pile of thick books, as long as it's not too high. Use candle holders or glass vases that will fit a tall candle inside for a contemporary look. Be careful not to overcrowd the coffee table - too much can make it look busy and detract from its features. Let the flickering flame of your elegant candle work its magic and ooze relaxation around your home.
If you're into your art or have a keen eye for small sculptures, an attractive artistic addition can give your round coffee table a unique look that adds interest. If you have a few small art sculptures, create groupings to keep them close to prevent your round table from looking cluttered.
For an aesthetically pleasing set-up, add art that suits your living room decor or use it to add a pop of color to your space. Mini sculptures and knick-knacks will add some personality to your coffee table, making them effective conversation starters.
Our Periferia Round Coffee Table is the perfect base, and it'll look great decorated with your favorite styling accessories.
Use a tray to keep everything together to prevent your round coffee table from looking cluttered. Your tray could include sculptures, drink coasters or candles, and it'll attract attention to your styling efforts.
Depending on the size of your table, the shape of the tray will vary, and you may find a rectangular or square one works better in a bigger space as it creates contrast with its sharp lines. If your table is smaller, a round tray maintains symmetry and keeps it flowing well.
A double-tiered coffee table can give you added storage space, and a tray on each level can help keep your knick-knacks grouped together and keep it feeling practical and looking streamlined.
Use the storage space to your advantage and avoid any build-up of clutter.
Use an eye-catching houseplant with a unique shape or look to attract attention to your round coffee table. If you have a room that needs a little lift, a long-leafed, noticeable houseplant will do the job, bringing nature into the space with a flash of greenery.
Use a pleasing pot or a beautiful bowl for your plant as an extra opportunity to reflect your style. Depending on the size of the table, you may decide on a bold statement houseplant or opt for a more subtle approach.
Matching your round coffee table and its decorative items to the color scheme of your home will bring the room together. Match your table or coffee table decor to other furniture or accessory items in the room. For example, if you have that rustic look in your home, choose a coffee table that'll fit effortlessly into that style.
Whether adding a burst of color into a room of neutrals or keeping it subtle and similar, pay attention to the coordination to create an effortlessly stylish coffee table. Our Williams Round Coffee table gives you different color options, sizes, and shapes that are ideal for any room.
Dress up your coffee table to reflect your unique style, and it'll be an aesthetically pleasing, eye-catching piece of furniture that'll be the perfect accessory to your room, giving it that polished look.
At Viesso, we have a wide range of round coffee tables. Browse our collection to find the one that’s right for you. For more information, get in touch with us today.
]]>A significant reason why the U-shaped sectional sofa is so prevalent in modern living spaces is that it gives you the flexibility to work with your area.
Comfortable and practical, it’s the perfect place to relax and recline after a long day.
A U-shaped sectional is a sofa with two to three sections that are used to create a U-shape. Unlike a traditional sofa, a sectional comprises different parts that you can move and alter to fit any shape or sized room. Unlike the L-shape sectional, it has two extended features that face each other and is perfect for larger families or game nights.
You can create a U-shaped sectional by adding left and right corner sectionals, a straight sectional, and a chaise that will fit into your space and stylishly transform any room. With choices of a fabric or a leather sectional, you can choose your sofa and style it to match your room perfectly.
U-shaped modular sectionals come with many benefits, and you can use them to your advantage, no matter the shape or size of your living space.
Here are some benefits to consider:
Styling a U-shaped sectional sofa is vital in making it work best for you and your living room.
Here are some ways to style suggestions for your U-shaped sectional sofa:
Put it against a wall
Putting the L-shape section of the couch against the wall in smaller spaces can give you more floor space, effectively working to maximize your space. A couch against the wall will open up your room, and you can design the rest around it. Not only will you increase the amount of seating space, but your room will flow well, no matter the size.
Floating your furniture means moving it away from the wall, even if just slightly. Floating your furniture is a common choice for sectional sofas in larger rooms, as there's space to do so. Equally, if you have an open-plan living area, it can be a suitable room separator.
Floating a U-shaped sectional sofa works well as it can become the main focal point of your room and allows you to create flow through large rooms intelligently. You can emphasize your couch or add furniture, like a coffee or console table, to tie it all together and express your personality through the design of the room. Floating your sectional can also be a good idea if you've got an awkward space to fill without a clear wall option for your sofa.
For a cloud-like, cozy feel to your U-shaped sectional, use throw pillows to add comfort and a contemporary touch. The shape of the pillows may differ depending on your preference and the size of the back cushions. Matching the pillows to your couch, walls, or home decor can add much-needed texture to the space as well as allowing you to express your unique style through these extra accessories.
You may decide to have more oversized pillows due to the deep seat of your sectional, or a mixture of small and larger ones. Use the corners of the U-shape to your advantage, place a pillow on each corner, and play around with combinations of patterns and colors to liven up your living space.
Add a comfy throw into the mix by folding it in half and draping it over the back cushions or the two extended arms with a pillow in front for a hint of coziness. If you have an ottoman or a chaise sectional, you can fold a throw over this to give it a stylish twist.
We spend a lot of time in our living rooms, and what's better than returning to a cozy space after a long day? A welcoming rug can really add that inviting touch to your living room space.
Also, many designers recommend a rug underneath your sectional sofa can tie your room together, helping to increase the flow of the room as you transition from area to area.
You can add a patterned, small rug to the center of the U-shape to attract attention and add personality to the room. Alternatively, you could match a rug to the color of your couch or use a neutral one to create a classy look for your living room design.
A small rug in the open section of the U, or a large one in the space under and around the couch, will create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Add a coffee table to the center of the U-shaped sectional for a streamlined living space that flows easily. A coffee table will bring the room together, no matter what size your room is, and it'll be a practical feature that you can use for storage and a convenient surface top.
For example, if your sectional has a solid wood frame, add a matching round coffee table to give it a polished look. Our Groove Coffee Table will go perfectly in the center of your U-shaped sectional sofa.
A coffee table is a practical way to make the most of your space in small areas. Adding a table in the center is also a great idea for larger areas, as it means you have more room to add furniture elsewhere and utilize the extra floor space.
A U-shaped modern sectional is an excellent addition to any living space, as it can work in different ways for both small and large rooms. As a practical and comfortable addition to your living room, you can style your U-shape sectional to meet your comfort needs and to look great in your living room.
Viesso has a wide range of high-quality sectionals that'll transform your living room into a restful and beneficial space for any activity, from big game nights with your family to lazy lounging.

]]>Whilst it may sound like an average, nondescript piece of furniture, you can tailor it to your specific taste, and it'll become a functional and practical essential in your hallway.
Coming in different sizes, styles and colors, you can design your entryway bench exactly how you want and create an inviting and unique entrance. Different entryway bench ideas will spark your creativity, whether you have a large area to fill, an awkward space that needs attention, or you feel like sprucing up your home.
Acting as a seat for shoelace tying, a place to hold your post or simply a stylish feature, your entryway bench can transform your hallway and make every arrival feel like a grand entrance.
If you're looking for entryway bench ideas, here are some ways you can decorate it:
A crucial part of creating a practical and fashionable entryway bench is to think about the color scheme. If you want your bench to match the colors in your home, you could paint it or use different colors for contrast. For example, light wood helps brighten a place, so consider it if your hallway is darker.
An entryway bench the same color as your decor will look polished and put together. Equally, if your decor is all white, a gray bench will stand out and become the main feature. Consider all your options, from the paint to the color of the wood, and decorate your entryway bench around what looks the best in your space.
Our nude wood Sol Bench could be the perfect light wood bench to lift the appearance of your hallway with its modern and classy look.
An upholstered design is a cozy and inviting way to decorate an entryway bench, as it'll act as a functional area to put your shoes on and a comfortable seat. Choose the pattern, and your bench will become a great place for guests to sit.
For an extra hint of usefulness, this entryway bench style often allows for extra storage space inside, which can help your space be free of clutter. For a more open space in your entryway, the storage space will allow you more room as you can hide your things away.
With a tufted, elegant seat, our Louve 59.3" Bench is a perfect place to relax stylishly.
Everyone has different ways of styling their home, which is always an area of interest when visiting for the first time. Why not show off your style with some books, art, or houseplants to give your bench some character that reflects you and your home's style?
Stacking some books or adding an attractive houseplant will give your entryway bench more personality and a great first impression. Keep it as tidy and as streamlined as possible by making it match your decor, and it'll become an aesthetically pleasing area of your home.
Depending on your style or choice of home decor, focus on the area surrounding your
entryway bench to create a charming and unique section of your hallway. If you have a small bench and it's low to the floor, make the most of the extra wall space and add some wall decor above to create interest.
Be careful not to overcrowd the area, especially in small spaces, and keep it looking sleek. Add a rug underneath it or a floor lamp to the side to emphasize the space and highlight the bench, or add some coat hooks above for practicality.
With different styles of homes, from contemporary to farmhouse, match your entryway bench to suit the style and keep within the theme. For example, if you're looking for farmhouse entryway bench ideas, you may opt for that rustic charm with a wooden bench and neutral colors.
Design your entryway bench to the style of your home and add items to match. For example, if vintage items suit your theme, or you don't want to spend too much money, strategically use them to create an entryway bench that will fit your home perfectly.
Our Oak Bok Bench would look great in any home style, and with its classy, streamlined look, it's ready to be decorated to your taste.
Depending on your home, you may have to get creative with the location of your entryway bench. For example, if you have a small entryway or a narrow hallway, you'll only have a small space to use, especially if it's next to your front door.
Often, entryway benches are up against the wall in smaller spaces, but you may opt for a floating bench if you have the area. Floating your furniture means you place it away from the walls. This look can be a strategic way to create more space in a room and can look great with a rug to tie it all together.
To keep your hallway looking clutter-free, it's a great idea to match your entryway bench to your coat rack. The matching set will have your hallway looking organized, and if your bench has space underneath it or storage for shoes, it'll keep everything together.
Keep your bench and coat rack minimalistic to avoid overcrowding, and put them together in your entryway to create a neatly arranged home.
Use your entryway bench to give off a cozy, inviting area that can be admired and enjoyed by you and your guests. Add cushions, pillows, and throws to a simple bench to make it look chic and modern.
Use coat hooks behind the bench to keep a small basket or bag of flowers, perfect for a farmhouse theme, or use the space around it to add wall decor that'll give it that polished yet snug feeling. You'll need a simple decor bench to create a restful hideaway.
Storage space adds a practical element to an entryway. If you're feeling creative, there are DIY entryway benches you can create that can add scope and sections for much-needed storage. Added storage could include pull-out drawers or shelves to keep everything in place.
Entryway benches can be a classy addition to a hallway, adding a personal and original touch to your space. They can also help eliminate clutter and keep your hallway free from anything that could make it look unkempt.
Entryway benches are the perfect furniture to add to your hallway if it needs a little lift. Tailoring it to your specific taste and decorating it to the decor and style of your home can create an enticing first impression for visitors.
At Viesso, we have a range of entryway benches that could add a sophisticated look to your space, no matter the shape or size of your room. Contact us for any questions about decorating your entryway bench to suit your home perfectly.
]]>With so many styles, sizes, colors, and shapes available, it can be hard to know where to start your couch shopping. The right modular sofa depends on the size of your room, the layout, and the style you're looking for.
There are different factors to consider before investing in a modular sofa, and to help guide you through the process; we've created a list of elements to consider before making your decision.
Let's take a look at modular couches in more detail:
What are the advantages of a modular couch?
Modular sofas have many advantages, making them a modern and popular couch style. Their practical value and stylish look will enhance your living space and provide high comfort levels to help you unwind after a stressful day. A modular sofa is the way forward if it's time for an upgrade.
Here are some advantages of modular sofas:
Modular sofas have many advantages, making them a practical, stylish, and effective addition to your space. A sectional sofa is the way to create a more streamlined living room, adding extra seats or a modern touch.
Let's look at some essential factors to consider and how to shop for a modular sofa:
Consider your room layout and size
An excellent place to start when shopping for a modular sofa is by considering your room layout and size to help you decide which couch is right for you. Measure your room, work out the spacing, and look around for shapes and sizes that'll work in your area.
Consider factors like the size of your family, the space you need to fill, and how you'll use the couch in your area. If you have a large family or you're often the host for game or movie nights, a more oversized couch will work better for you. Furthermore, look at the space you want to optimize and note any obstacles or layouts that may affect the positioning of your couch.
For example, our Silverlake XL Sectional is the ideal addition to a room with plenty of open space due to its size and the space it takes up. Furthermore, it's the perfect sectional for people with larger families due to the number of seat cushions.
Think about your lifestyle
Your lifestyle may impact your decision for your modular couch, as different features may work for various needs. For example, some sectionals can have a pull-out bed, extra storage, or more seats.
If you're constantly hosting game or movie nights, have a large family, or find additional features of a pull-out bed useful, you may find particular modular sofas more effective. You may only require some corner modular sectionals to add to your sofa, and it's worth considering the different factors you need before investing.
If your lifestyle requires plenty of seating and a large comfortable seating area, our Hollywood Medium Sectional Sofa may be the right choice. With its stylish look and modern touch, this sectional will enhance your space and create a comfortable space for those movie nights.
Find the suitable configuration for you
When modular couch shopping, there are different configurations to consider that'll suit your space. With various styles, sizes, and structures, shopping for the right one that fits conveniently and seamlessly into your space is essential.
There's a wide variety, from L-shaped sectionals to U-shaped sectionals, chaises, and armless chairs. Depending on the dimensions of your space, the lifestyle you lead, or the levels of comfort you want to indulge in, it's essential to understand your options and the choices available.
The Renfrew U Shaped Sectional is the ideal addition to any living space, with its practical reversible cushions, slender tuxedo frame, and functional configuration for those larger gatherings.
Consider the material
With a wide range of leathers, fabrics, and endless designs, consider your home decor and the style you want to achieve. For example, if you're aiming for a slick, polished look, a leather modular couch, like the Paloma Sectional, may suit your idea.
Consider factors such as durability, stain resistance, ease of cleaning, and wear and tear. Modular sectional sofas come with many different material options, and depending on what you're looking for, the style you want to achieve, and the advantages of the other options, you can decide on the one best for you.
The customization options
A significant perk of having a modular couch is the customization options available. Whether it's the material, the design, the fabric, the pattern, or the configuration of the sofa, it's worth looking into the different ways you can customize it to suit you.
With different finishes available, take your time to look around and consider how you want your modular sofa to look and the impact it has on your living space. The Mulholland Bi-Sectional comes in a wide range of colors that you can choose from to suit your area.
Furthermore, Viesso offers the option to alter seat depth or height to ensure it fits in your space perfectly.
Aim for high quality
If you're looking for the ideal modular sofa for your living space, aiming for high quality is essential.

Ensure you go for a sofa created with high quality products, like steel legs or reliable fabric for the cushions.

]]>Naturally, spillages can happen, and while it can seem like a drama-infused moment at the time, luckily for you, you can clean your Chilewich placemats and keep them sparkling at all times. Stubborn stains can be harder to deal with, but once you know how to clean and care for your Chilewich placemat, you won’t need to worry.
American designer Sandy Chilewich created the brand "Chilewich", which makes modern homeware with innovative textiles. Amongst the stylish and refined styles are a wide range of placemats to dress up any dining area.
Woven vinyl yarns comprise the placemats, and the plasticizers contain renewable phthalate-free vegetable compounds. Compared to petroleum-based compounds, Chilewich placemats are eco-friendly as they’re sustainable and use less energy.
With different weave combinations and colors available, you can choose the placemats to suit your style and space.
Yet, knowing how to clean your placemats correctly is vital to keep them looking fresh to fit in with your modern and sleek aesthetic.
Chilewich products are antimicrobial, meaning they have this feature built into the yarns, making them mold-resistant and able to prevent any odor-causing bacteria. As a result, the placemats stay pristine for longer and are easier to clean when the time comes around.
With a mixture of woven, like the Bamboo Round Tabletop, and non-woven materials used, like the Metallic Lace Tabletop, it's essential to know the right way to look after your placemat to avoid any damage to its condition.
Knowing the proper ways to care for your placemats will stop them from deteriorating or becoming stained, so you’ll always be prepared for surprise dinner guests.
Here are some tips on how to care for your Chilewich placemats:
Store your placemats flat to prevent any creases or damage to the shape. If the placemats aren’t stored falt, you can cause lasting damage to the surface and appearance of the placemats. It's a good idea to keep them in a drawer or a pile to keep their shape and condition.
To protect your placemats from hot objects, use a trivet to avoid heat damaging the quality of the mats.
You can use Chilewich placemats indoors and outdoors, yet they are lightweight, so you may need to set them to stop them from blowing away in the wind.
Chilewich placemats don't always protect the surface underneath from spillages or stains, so clean up after any potentially harmful spills to avoid damaging your table. Many of the textiles sometimes allow liquid or food to slowly seep through to the table underneath, so quickly clean up any spillages to protect your surface.
Chilewich mats are so popular because of how easy they are to clean, so be sure to cater to their specific fabrics, and they'll remain as stylish, modern, and timeless as when you first bought them.
If your Chilewich mats are looking like they require cleaning, here are some tips to ensure you don't damage them in the process:
Chilewich woven placemats, such as Bamboo, Basketweave, and Rib weave, need gentle cleaning to keep their original condition intact. You can scrub stubborn stains that may occur, as woven vinyl can undergo scrubbing without its condition getting altered. To do this, use a soft bristle brush and a bleach-based cleanser. Avoid machine washing and let the Chilewich placemat air dry completely.
You'll need to take care when cleaning to avoid scrubbing too hard or worsening stubborn stains for Whistle, Interlace, Harp, Trellis and Thistle designs, so use a soft sponge to ensure that you're keeping your placemats clean and damage-free.
Use one to two drops of standard antibacterial cleanser with the soft bristle brush or sponge, and wipe clean any residue left by food or drink.
You'll remove any remains of a clumsy moment, and your Basketweave Round Tabletop mat will look good as new. Lighter color textiles are more likely to stain, so clean them as quickly as possible and avoid using harsh soaps.
Any food or liquids left on your placemat for too long can cause a long-lasting mark, so it's best to clean it up to avoid such stains immediately. Certain foods or liquids, like hot pepper sauce, turmeric and tomato, are likely to leave more permanent stains if left too long before cleaning.
If you need to clean your non-woven placemat or remove stubborn stains, keep in mind that the top layer of metallic foil can become damaged by abrasive scrubbing, so instead, use a clean, soft sponge and steer clear of using bristle brushes and harsh soaps.
To clean non-woven mats like Metallic Lace and the Dahlia Round Tabletop, use warm water, mild soap and a soft sponge to wipe any stains away. Avoid any heated dryers or ironing to keep your placemats in ideal condition, and ensure you're gentle when cleaning.
We recommend avoiding household alcohol for this kind of placemat, as the harsh chemicals can negatively affect the fabric. You can sanitize these placemats using a lint-free cloth with white vinegar.
Chilewich placemats will add a classy and modern style to your dining area, with many different colors and fabrics available. Following the steps to work with the fabric and keep it in its original condition will help it to remain a practical and stylish addition to every meal.
At Viesso, we're proud to work with Chilewich, who use environmentally friendly practices to produce classic products using various techniques and fabrics. From their woven placemats made from bamboo and thatch to their non-woven sea lace and Dahlia styles, any table will look polished and stylish with this elegant inclusion.

]]>We spend a lot of time in the living room, so it's important that the decor suits your specific style, and a sofa can reflect this too. Good quality sectional sofas are arguably the most popular sofa style but, before making any big decisions, let’s look at sectional couches and when to choose one in more depth.
Contrary to a traditional sofa and loveseat pieces, a sectional sofa is a couch of two or three parts rather than a single piece of furniture. Of course, there are many styles and options to consider, so it's a good idea to look around before deciding that it's the right choice for you.
Sectional sofas come in many different shapes, sizes and colors, allowing them to fit into any living space. Even the small ones take up more space than a traditional sofa, which is worth keeping in mind if you live in an apartment. Modular sectional sofas give you more choice, with more parts to adapt to those more awkward spaces.
A contemporary casual sofa collection gives you a range of variations for different room layouts and sizes. The most common styles of sectional sofas are L-shaped and U-shaped, and with the potential addition of a chaise, they're designed for your comfort and with different materials and options to choose from.
Sectional sofas typically need a lot of floor space. However, they can work cleverly to maximize your space in a smaller room. You can use flexibly use each wisely to fit the contours and layout of your living space.
The perfect sectional sofa will be practical and compact, designed to fit your space while also providing top comfort.
If you’re thinking about a sectional sofa, here are some questions to consider:
Depending on the size of your living area, a sectional sofa may be the perfect fit. A sectional couch can maximize space and become a central feature of the room, creating a more clutter-free look than multiple chairs or loveseats.
If you've got a big family or you're constantly hosting movie days, it's worth noting how many seat cushions you'll need in your family room. Traditional sofas often have two to three, but a sectional can often accommodate five or more.
Typically, traditional sofas have more options for a formal look, whereas sectionals can sometimes look more casual. Of course, this isn't always the case when considering the number of styles available, but it's worth keeping in mind.
If you want to recline, a sectional is an excellent option with different styles and benefits, like the addition of an ottoman. Similarly to a console loveseat for two people, a sectional can allow you to sit back, relax, and recline, making it perfect for watching the game.
If you're the type of person who enjoys a redesign now and then, a sectional sofa may not be the right choice. You can move traditional sofas around due to being smaller in size and a less dominating shape. A sectional sofa, on the other hand, is often more of a commitment and a layout-defining piece of furniture for a room.
Asking these questions can help you make the right decision on whether to choose a sectional sofa.
If you find it's the perfect fit for your home, here are the different types to consider when finding the right sectional sofa:
The chaise sectional is popular and one of the most common types you’ll see in stores. The central part of the sofa is in one piece, with a chaise lounge on the left or right side, allowing you to recline as it resembles an L-shape.
The L-shape offers up to five seat cushions, making it a great choice for families. The chaise allows you to recline, a comfortable touch, and you can add it to rooms of any size. The sofa chaise can be reversible, so it could be a good choice if you're prone to a room rearrangement.
The L-shaped sectional usually comes to mind when imagining a comfortable sofa that you can sink into. With the two pieces that make the L-shape, one end tends to be longer and is usually in the corner of rooms. You can use this sectional to separate two parts of the room in an open-plan area.
Our Renfrew Sectional may be the perfect choice; you can mold it to your taste and preference with eight different figurations.
The U-shaped sectional is in the shape of a U and has three straight sides, two facing each other, with one along the back. A U-shaped sectional sofa is an excellent choice if you have a big family or a large space to fill, as there are plenty of seat cushions, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The U-shaped sofa works well in large rooms as it involves everyone and is comfortable and relaxing. Our Renfrew U Shaped Sectional may be ideal for your stylish living space.
The L-shaped sectional sofa with a chaise may be a good option if you need to accommodate more people but can't fit a U-shaped sofa into your space. The addition of the chaise creates a U-shape, allowing more seating and a comfortable place to recline.
The L-shape is the ideal sectional for extra seating and legroom. If you've got a creative touch, you can create a makeshift chaise lounge from recycled materials for the added comfort it’ll bring you.
Some sectionals have hidden storage space under the chaise section if you have a cluttered living space and need extra storage. With multi-purpose functions, this practical yet comfortable sectional sofa works well in most living spaces.
The sectional with hidden storage is an excellent addition to your space for those who relish those extra hidden-away compartments. Not only will your room look clutter-free and sleek, but your sofa will also be a place of comfort with a touch of practicality.
A modern sleeper sofa is ideal for overnight guests who need a comfortable place to crash. This type of sectional sofa typically has a built-in mattress underneath the seat cushions. It's a compact sofa bed that is versatile and functional and can transform your living area into a snug bed, making it an excellent upgrade for your living room.
For the utmost comfort and luxurious feeling, a reclining sectional sofa is a popular choice for large rooms and big floor spaces. Similarly to a console loveseat, these sofas require a power source, if not manual, to give you the quality relaxation you deserve.
Depending on your space, taste, and comfort requirements, there'll be the right sectional for you and your living room. Sinking into a comfortable sectional sofa is a great way to unwind, and with the right one for you, moving from it will be a chore.
At Viesso, we have many modern, practical sectionals that can be adjusted to fit your specific requirements. You'll feel cozy, comfortable, and relaxed with high-quality sectionals built to last and look great in your living space. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

]]>We understand that choosing the perfect sofa can be challenging. If you're struggling with choosing your dream upholstery fabric that'll suit the rest of your living room furniture, then don't worry - we've got you covered.
Here's everything you need to know about fabric sofas.
A leather sofa can look appealing but doesn't win in the comfort department. Nor is it as durable as a fabric sofa, which, more often than not, has washable covers.
There's no doubt that your sofa will go through heavy use in its lifetime, so it needs to be suitable for the whole family.
Unfortunately, stains are incredibly easy to spot on leather. So, if you've got kids or pets, you'll want to invest in a sofa made of durable material - like a fabric sofa.
Fabric sofas have excellent durability, are comfortable, and can be more affordable than leather sofas. Here are the many benefits of choosing fabric couches:
Fabric sofas are far comfier than leather sofas, which can get hot in the summer months. When making your fabric choice, consider that fabric feels softer and cozier. If you aim to find the comfiest sofa possible, choose fabric upholstery for your new sofa.
Compared to any other couch, fabric sofas are much less expensive since leather is one of the most costly sofa fabrics.
Choosing upholstery fabric that's easy to clean is a must. Luckily, fabric sofas are made of durable upholstery materials which will stand extensive use. If you're in a household with little ones, you'll want to choose a sofa made from durable fabric and go for darker colors that are less likely to show dirt and grime.
One downside to leather sofas is the lack of design choices since leather only comes in a few colors. With fabric sofas, you can choose from an array of fabrics and prints to match your style. Your new sofa should reflect your individuality.
Some fabric sofas are more durable than others. More often than not, sofas made from natural fabric like cotton and linen are less durable than microfiber and canvas.
However, you can find durable cotton and linen fabric sofas. Simply check the fabric is tightly woven, making it more resistant to rips or a tear.
Now that you know the benefits of choosing a fabric sofa, let's go through the different upholstery fabric options. Remember, deciding on a suitable sofa fabric is vital, as you want your couch to last.
Wool is turning into one of the most popular sofa types on the market, and we can see why. With its luxury feel, style, and comfort, wool is an excellent alternative for buyers who want a modern twist on the classic sofa.
The benefits of nylon are endless - it truly is a performance fabric. Nylon is inexpensive, stain-resistant, breathable, and quick-drying. Nylon is perfect if you have children or pets and need a sofa to withstand wear and tear.
Similarly to Nylon, Polyester can withstand a lot of use. It's also water-resistant and one of the best outdoor fabrics you can choose. For an outdoor sofa, go for polyester as your first choice.
Linen outshines other fabrics in the luxury department. It looks and feels expensive and would be perfect for a formal area. It's also surprisingly durable, as it doesn't show signs of shedding or piling.
A silk sofa may seem impractical compared to other materials, but it's also the most beautiful fabric available and guaranteed to transform any room. It does show more wear and tear compared to other fabric types and doesn't take kindly to water.
Cotton is known for being soft and breathable, and it's no different when used as sofa upholstery. It's also easy to clean compared to any other sofa - all you need is soap and water.
Velvet sofas are more stylish than any other, especially in 2022. It also has an inviting texture that no other sofa can compete with. We recommend velvet if you want to refresh the feel of your living space.
Although it's a close call, our favorite sofa fabric is velvet. With its luxurious feel, soft texture, and surprising durability, a velvet sofa has unique features that other fabric sofas do not.
Choosing the right fabric sofa for you can feel like an overwhelming task, since the living room is arguably one of the most important spaces in any home - it's where we gather as a family and relax at the end of a long day.
Before choosing your sofa, weigh up essential factors such as the need for durability, comfort, and style. Your sofa should reflect your individual needs and style while fitting in with the rest of your home.

]]>Whether you're hosting or enjoying some alone time, your outdoor space is a place where you can sit back and enjoy your surroundings.
We must look after our planet and make responsible choices about our carbon footprint.
Eco-friendly outdoor furniture made with sustainable, natural resources minimizes the negative impact on the environment. Therefore, choosing eco-friendly furniture when upgrading your outdoor space is the ethical option.
Eco-friendly outdoor furniture is a product made with renewable, sustainable materials that cause less of a negative impact on the environment. From dining tables to outdoor sofas, eco-friendly furniture can transform your outdoor area into a modern, functional, and sustainable space.
Recycled materials and renewable resources produce less waste and pollution than synthetic materials such as nylon, which is non-biodegradable and causes more long-term pollution. During the entire life-cycle of eco-friendly materials, there is minimal harm to the environment.
You can reuse eco-friendly materials like wood, steel and bamboo as they can be recycled, releasing less harmful chemicals and pollutants from manufacturing into the atmosphere.
Making the responsible decision to add products made with recycled materials will benefit the environment and make your home, and backyard, a safer and more organic place to be.
Sustainable outdoor furniture could be dining sets, chairs, and sofas made from sustainable, raw materials.
Here are some benefits of choosing eco-friendly furniture for your home:
Eco-friendly resources are natural and release fewer chemicals and pollutants into the atmosphere, causing less air pollution. Opting for eco-friendly furniture will reduce your carbon footprint and cause minimal environmental damage.
Chemicals found in standard furniture can create health problems such as headaches, nausea, fatigue, and potential skin irritations. Non-toxic, chemical-free furniture is the best choice for your health and well-being.
Eco-friendly furniture is a better long-term investment as it's long-lasting and durable. Rather than replacing your products as they suffer from wear and tear, sustainable materials will serve you well for longer.
With less pollution in manufacturing and disposal, eco-friendly products can be reused and recycled rather than ending up in landfill like many of our non-sustainable synthetic furniture options.
Wood that comes from sustainably managed forests helps the environment as the replanting of trees is promoted, and recycled wood means fewer trees are cut down in the first place.
Find sustainable outdoor furniture that will upgrade your outdoor space by looking modern and stylish while creating a healthier, cleaner space with less negative environmental impact.
To find sustainable outdoor furniture that's eco-friendly and resilient against the elements, here are some of the most common materials used by sustainable outdoor furniture brands:
Aluminum is a natural resource and is one of the most recyclable metals. This metal is rust-free for outdoor furniture and can stand strong against the elements. Easy to clean and lightweight, it's the ideal material for outdoor furniture.
A popular choice for dining furniture, aluminum dining tables come in many shapes and sizes. A lightweight, versatile table made with aluminum will transform your outdoor space into your new favorite restaurant.
Our Victoria Outdoor Aluminium Dining Table could be the perfect choice for those big occasions. No matter the event, or the weather, it'll add that sleek, stylish look to your outdoor space.
As one of the most environmentally friendly metals, stainless steel is highly durable, recyclable, and rust-resistant. It's often used for sustainable patio furniture as it's easy to clean. Steel is incredibly robust and sturdy, meaning it should last an extremely long time in your outdoor space. This makes steel a cost-effective choice.
Eco-friendly patio furniture is often made with steel as it's solid and durable, so sit back, relax, and enjoy those peaceful moments in the sun. Our 1900 Armchair is the perfect, classy steel patio chair that looks like you've picked it straight from a cafe in Paris.
Teakwood stands firm against any weather and is a natural resource that is durable, strong, and perfect for environmentally friendly outdoor furniture.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) teak comes from forests responsibly managed with standards set to benefit the environment and planet. FSC-certified teak is an excellent option for your furniture as it meets environmental and economic standards.
Outdoor sofas are a great way to unwind and relax, especially in warmer weather. A sustainable outdoor furniture brand may use teak to create the best weather-resistant furniture that is also good for the environment.
Furthermore, sustainable brands may use FSC-Certified wood, reclaimed wood, or recycled plastic for a coffee table or practical piece of outdoor furniture. These materials are also weather-proof and will be valuable to your backyard.
Our Paralel 2 Seater Sofa's frame is made with robust and weather-resistant teak and is perfect for those days spent lounging in the sun.
You can use wicker for outdoor furniture due to its durability and ability to withstand the elements; it's stain-resistant and doesn't fade in the sun. Wicker grows quickly, making it naturally sustainable, and not only that, it looks great in any outdoor space.
To transform your outdoor living space into a tranquil, eco-friendly space, a comfortable lounge chair can do just that.
Commonly made from classical weave or rattan, lounge chairs like our Malabar Armchair, made with teak and an all-weather wicker frame, make great sustainable outdoor furniture and look modern in your outdoor space. Fairtrade practices come into play with rattan, making it even more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
For more sustainable, eco-friendly outdoor spaces, many of these products will upgrade your area and turn your backyard into a polished and practical haven.
Viesso offers a large selection of sustainable, stylish, eco-friendly outdoor furniture. Not only does our furniture look sleek in any outdoor space, but it's also long-lasting and functional. We use sustainable materials in all our products and work with brands with the same eco-friendly outlook.
