The American style is deeply loved by consumers because of its practicality, comfort, elegance and beauty. When decorating their homes, they all choose the American decorative style.

So how should we choose furniture in American style? Let’s find out below.

To choose American furniture, you must first know what the characteristics of American furniture are.

1. Made of solid wood

American furniture is mostly made of solid wood. The rarer the wood and the older the tree, the more expensive the furniture will be.

In order to make American furniture enter thousands of households, many businesses use solid wood + veneer, or solid wood composite board + veneer, which has better quality and more affordable prices.

The main structure of the bed is made of solid poplar wood, which is sturdy and reliable. The surface is sprayed with natural healthy paint, which is environmentally friendly and green. The surface is decorated with American painting technology, with up to 12 coloring processes, highlighting the solid wood texture and creating a strong American retro atmosphere.

2. Great style

American furniture is generally heavy, large in size, and has a more rugged style.

With the development of the times, American furniture is also constantly evolving, simplifying the complex and retaining the essence, presenting a simple, grand and elegant temperament.

3. Advocacy of classical charm

Even if it is simplified, American furniture still advocates classical charm, retaining the color and texture of classical furniture. It also highly respects antiques, and often uses old-fashioned treatment on the coating to create a mottled effect, which is retro and stylish.

4. Emphasize practicality

Unlike European-style furniture that focuses on decoration, American-style furniture emphasizes practicality. Every piece of furniture, from wardrobes to coffee tables, combines practicality and beauty, killing two birds with one stone.

No matter how many styles of American furniture there are, most of the materials used are still fixed.

1. Wood

Wood is the main material of American furniture, as we mentioned just now.

In addition to pure solid wood furniture, other furniture, such as sofas, coffee tables, etc., can use solid wood combined with other materials, but the legs/feet of the furniture must be made of hard solid wood, which can ensure that the furniture is more stable and strong.

2. Fabric

Commonly used fabric materials for sofas, soft-padded bed backs, etc.

Combining the characteristics of fabrics, the furniture created has a delicate touch, is soft and comfortable, and you can get more comfortable enjoyment when using it.

Moreover, fabric furniture will add a soft atmosphere to the space. Fabrics of different materials and patterns can also create different home atmospheres.

3. Leather

To show the roughness of American country and the freedom-loving personality of cowboys, American home furnishings will use leather furniture to express the original, wild, sexy and romantic space language, bringing you more impactful visual effects and unique aesthetic feelings.

4. Metal

With the changes in American style, more and more American furniture has added metal elements. Iron tea tables, chests with aluminum alloy brackets, etc. These metal series of American furniture bring freshness and fashion to the American style.

In order to better reflect the feeling of calmness and elegance, American furniture is generally larger in size.

In order to ensure a certain texture and grade, the furniture is basically complete, unlike Nordic-style furniture which is packaged into a small cube and needs to be assembled by DIY after purchase.

So the question is, how do you choose the size of furniture?

1. By space ratio

If you haven’t decided how many pieces of furniture you want in the space and how big they should be so that they can fill the space without feeling crowded?

The proportion of furniture to the space should not exceed 45%, so that you can reserve enough space for activities and other daily necessities such as appliances.

2. According to the length and width of the space

Measure the size of your home to avoid mistakes when buying furniture. You won't be embarrassed to buy a 2M TV cabinet when the wall is 1.8M.

3. According to the door size

If the furniture cannot be disassembled, there will be a problem when moving it to a new home because the furniture is too big to fit in!

Here I would like to advise everyone to buy within their means. For example, a gorgeous and beautiful American four-poster bed may not be able to fit into your home. Before buying, it is best to consult the customer service to find out if there are any restrictions on the delivery of the furniture you are interested in.

American furniture contains cultural connotations and exquisite craftsmanship, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight.
