Selecting a Furniture Style in Lecong: From References to Buying Rules
Translate reference images into proportion, silhouette, material, colour, detail and atmosphere rules for selection.
Labels such as “modern” or “luxury” vary between showrooms. A more reliable approach breaks references into proportion, line, primary materials, colour, sheen, hardware and decorative density, then states what each category must preserve and may vary.
Scope of this guide
This guide provides a sourcing-management and decision framework. It does not replace written supplier confirmation, professional inspection, freight quotations, contract review or destination-country compliance advice.
Define the decision standard first
- Extract keywords from the space goal
- Break down proportion and silhouette
- Limit material and colour relationships
- Coordinate detail and sheen
Records the project should produce
| Decision item | Record to retain |
|---|---|
| Extract keywords from the space goal | Describe atmosphere, users, durability needs and unwanted visual traits |
| Break down proportion and silhouette | Record height, mass, legs, corners, soft-hard balance and visual openness |
| Limit material and colour relationships | Set ranges for primary, secondary, wood, stone, metal and upholstery |
| Coordinate detail and sheen | Control hardware colour, stitching, handles, ornament, texture and gloss level |
| Review the collection, not isolated items | Place candidates on one style board and check conflict, repetition and hierarchy |
