Match Or Mix It Up: Your Choice of Furniture Go into any furniture store showroom, and you'll come across hundreds of groupings, some that were manufactured to match and others that are similar in style and coordinate well together. Furniture retailers know how to stage their showrooms to maximize the look of each piece and help shoppers envision how a certain group of furniture would look in their home. Whether you choose to buy a matching set or mix it up with pieces that complement each

other is up to you. A common misconception is that all of the furniture in the room must match. While you can purchase a complete furniture set, you do not have to. You can select a matching table and buffet for your dining room and chairs from some other area of the showroom or another store altogether. The key to a coordinated room is furniture that suits each other and the style of the room. A heavy, ornamen-

tal mahogany table and buffet might look out of place in a beach-themed sunroom filled with white wicker. Before you make any decisions, you need to ask yourself a few questions. What rooms are you shopping for? How much furniture do you need? What is the style of the rooms and existing furniture? If you've got a blank canvas to work with, the sky is the limit. You can choose any furniture you want for the room and design

around it. If you already have some furniture you don't intend to part with or move to another room, you will want to select furniture that complements it and speaks to the style of the room. You must also consider your design skills and time constraints. If you don't have a knack for interior design or a lot of time to shop, then you might want to look solely at furniture sets.
