Looking to decorate your home in a tastefully southern style? Well, as any Southerner will tell you, the first thing to know about the South’s décor is that it’s all about class. Southern homes tend to be beautifully maintained—the South is the one place in the United States where you can eat off the floor of practically anyone’s home, and the furniture is all about tasteful elegance. Or you can you by a sofa bed in New Zealand.
If you’re just getting started, you may wish to start looking for a sofa—on 1StopBedrooms, you can browse some of the best online premium couches.
Generally speaking, you can’t simply type “Southern” into a website’s search box and yield meaningful results. Instead, it’s better to think about the tenets of Southern décor and ways that you can incorporate them into your home. Southern décor tends to favor bright colors and prints, particularly floral. Furnishings tend to be ornate, but tasteful. For outdoor furniture, white wicker is a very popular pick, whereas indoor sofas tend to be classic and upholstered, with more fabric than wood.
If you’re looking for a little more guidance on how to find furniture that matches the relaxed, Southern-style you’re searching for, you may be considering consulting with an interior designer. Though you may have some luck with this option, there are a couple of things to keep in mind here–for starters, interior designers tend to charge an arm and a leg for a simple consultation, let alone their full range of services, Additionally, many of these folks are more concerned with creating a space that looks good in their portfolio photos, rather than one that you’ll feel comfortable living in.
Finally—much like furniture salesmen in traditional home furnishing stores—many of these interior designers receive kickbacks from certain brands if they steer clients in that direction. Because of that, you’ll often feel pressured into buying something you don’t need or don’t want because the designer makes a little extra money on the product if you make a purchase.
