Trends often influence how we decorate our home and the way we choose furniture, so we sometimes forget the practical side. We often omit the most important aspects and invest more in design and furniture elements that we do not usually use. We show you the pieces of furniture that we use daily, which deserve more attention when purchasing.

Here are the furniture pieces that directly influence our lives and how we can choose the best ones:

4 Important Pieces Of Furniture

1. The bed and the mattress

The bed in the bedroom and the mattress you sleep on every night must be chosen very carefully. A night of truly restful sleep is essential for our mood and strength of concentration. Besides, if these two pieces are not of good quality, they will cause back pain and long-term spine problems.

The mattress and the bed are the furniture items we use the most. We spend 25 years of our lives sleeping, but when it comes to buying a new bed or mattress, we forget how important they are. A right mattress should have a cover made of hypo-allergenic material. It should be neither very soft nor very hard, it should not have depressions, and the partner’s movements should not be felt up to your part of the bed.

A study quoted by British journalists from the HUFFPOST shows that changing the old bed and the used mattress reduces stress in the body. Stress is closely linked to rest, and if we fail to have a good sleep, the consequences affect both our mood and physical health. Replacing the old mattress with a new and high-quality one, you will have quiet nights year after year.

2. Kitchen furniture

Kitchen furniture is also among the most used in a home. Ultimately, the kitchen is the room where the family spends a lot of time. Cooking, eating, and sometimes even friends’ visits take place in the kitchen, which is why the furniture must be chosen very carefully.

Unlike the living room library, for example, kitchen furniture is used much more. Quality must prevail when we choose kitchen items because they are exposed to moisture and food stains. Opt for durable materials, which, even if they are more expensive, are a more economical long-term solution.

The right quality kitchen furniture lasts for years without problems. It will not have to be replaced or reconditioned, so opting for the quality, we make a smart choice – practical and economical.

Some furniture items can work wonders in a small apartment. Kitchen corners, which look great and help you save space, are perfect for apartment kitchens, which are usually not spacious. Choose such a corner, which offers enough room for the whole family, but which will not occupy your entire kitchen.

3. Closets

These pieces of furniture are used daily, and that is why we should invest more time in choosing them. Besides, a well-compartmentalized and spacious closet can make our lives easier in many ways – we quickly find the things we need, and if there is enough space, the clothes will not wrinkle, and you will not need to calculate.

You can opt for a closet with classic doors or sliding doors. The sliding ones help you save more space, being perfect for a small bedroom. A wardrobe should have room for hangers as well as shelves and drawers for underwear. All the tools you need to get ready to go to work in the morning should be at hand and kept in the best condition.

The practical aspect must prevail when we choose the closet, and the organization of the clothes in the closet can help you prepare faster whenever you have to leave the house.

4. The office chair

One of the sufferings of modern man, who spends 6-8 hours a day sitting at his desk, is back pain. Several factors cause these, and a chair that does not provide a correct position is one of the leading causes of back pain.  

If you can choose the chair, you use at work, opt for one that protects your health. You will find several comfortable models that will not cause you pain when working hours are extended.

Here’s why you need to keep this in mind when choosing an office chair:

• Height – legs should be on the floor, knees at a 90-degree angle and parallel to the hips
• Backrest – it must respect the natural curvature of the spine and support the lumbar area
• The arms – must be adjustable so that they fit your body perfectly
• Sitting – the depth should be 10 centimeters between the seat and the knee
• Stability – 5-foot chairs are best suited for a correct position
