KNOW-HOW

We use the terms "interior finishings" or "interior finishes" to describe those interior space elements that are fixed in place. They are usually attached to other structural elements of the building, like for example to the walls, ceilings, floors, etc. So, interior finishings most of the times are non-structural elements. They have decorative purpose or both decorative and functional.  

Common types of interior finishings: 

• Interior doors.
• Wall treatments
• Ceiling treatments
• Stairways
• Posts and columns
• Space divisions systems.
• Cabinets and countertops
• Plumbing fixtures
• Lighting

KNOW-HOW

Before purchasing a coffee table for your living room, you need first to determine its shape. The proper shape depends on the user’s needs and taste, but also depends on the size of the sofa and on the seating configuration. 

The arrangement of the seating area: The sofas, the armchairs, the rug, the coffee table, the end tables, any ottomans, etc form an assembly of independent pieces that moreover should work as a group. For example, when seating furniture is placed face-to-face then a rectangular or oval table is probably the best choice for this configuration. When two sofas of the same length are placed in L-shaped arrangement, then a square or round table is an advantageous choice.  If the furniture placement is done in the round, then a round coffee table compliments the arrangement. 

 The linear arrangement of the seating furniture in U-shape dictates a rectangular coffee table.

KNOW-HOW

The size of the coffee table in the living room is equally important as its shape and style. The proper coffee table measurements (length and widht) depend mostly on:

• The size of the sofas
• The optimal conversation distance

The size of the sofa: If you have a long sofa, you probably think that you need a long coffee table. But how long the coffee table should be? A rule of thumb is that the coffee table should be approximately two-thirds the length of the sofa (and a little smaller that this).
