It is all a matter of personal preference.

is classic then you need to consider some of the main features this type of furniture possesses. These furniture pieces have round furniture lines to them. These lines are not sharp but in contrast are soft and curved. The furniture pieces are often comprised of different types of textures and you will have different options when it comes to colors.
