What Furniture Works

Hi, I am Thom Filicia from Dress My Nest, and I am here to dispel some design myths. Another typical myth is that you have to have a sofa. You have to have a coffee table, you have to have a clutcher. Really you don't have to have anything. What you really need to do, is analyze the way you live and how you use the space. And that will tell you exactly the type of piece of the furniture that you need to have in a space, and that's exactly how you should use it. You don't have to have anyone of anything. You just -- you really need to look at the way you use the space, and where you live in it, and then build from there.

The idea that you have to have a sofa, chair, a coffee table in the living room, or the idea that you have to have a dining table and dining chairs in the dining room, there is no prescribed formula for the spaces. It's the way you use them, and if you don't cook, and if you don't entertain that way, then may be your dining room could become a den or an office.

You really need to look at the way you live in your space, and the way you use that, and you need to start from there and give those rooms the furniture that they need based on the way you live.
