How to choose furniture for the living room?
For this reason, it is important that the room conveys a welcoming feeling, with practical, comfortable furniture that is aesthetically compatible with the style of decoration of the environment.
With that in mind, C&C has prepared a series of tips that will help you choose the right furniture for your living room.
Take the measurements
If you are thinking of revamping your living room furniture , the first step is to take all measurements of this room, considering the size and location of the windows. Use a measuring tape to measure the width and length of all corners of the room.
Consider the size of the door
With a measuring tape , measure the width of the doors in order to avoid possible problems at the time of delivery, such as the furniture not passing through the door.
Think about furniture placement After defining the amount of furniture, as well as the size of each one, simulate the distribution of the pieces in the room, marking the placement with adhesive tape.
This will make the space easier to see and will help to define a free area for movement.
Consider the profile of residents
When choosing the furniture in the living room, it is necessary to consider the profile, habits and routine of the residents. For example, if you have children, prefer sofas and armchairs with dark fabrics and avoid sharp furniture, which can cause accidents.
If you have pets, opt for sofas with waterproof fabric, such as leather, as it does not absorb liquids and makes it difficult for hair to adhere.
optimize space
Avoid excess furniture by investing in multifunctional furniture, such as ottomans with a chest, sofa bed or use a chest as a coffee table.
In addition to visually polluting the environment, excess furniture makes it difficult for people to circulate in the area.
Enjoy the spaces on the wall
Niches , shelves and hanging cabinets are useful and help to compose the decoration, serving to display and/or store objects.
It is also a great way to optimize space, as it will occupy previously unused space, without influencing the circulation area.
Think about furniture design
The design of the furniture is a very important aspect that must be thought about calmly. After all, this detail will be responsible for bringing beauty and harmony to the environment, combining the residents' tastes with the style of decoration .
Choose different pieces to create a unique look full of personality.
Prioritize quality Changing the furniture every season is something that takes work and increases (a lot!) the budget.
But, so that the furniture does not need to be replaced in a short period of time, it is important to choose furniture of proven quality, which values the comfort and durability of the product, so that they have a long service life, without causing headaches.

RACK UNIT EQUIPMENT MOUNTING TIPS AND TRICKS
How to choose racks and rack cabinets If you're on tour, rack cabinets are the most professional solution for protecting your precious and expensive mic preamps, mixers, processors, wireless gear and other audio equipment. However, not all racks and cabinets are created equal. This Alhva rack guide includes relevant information such as tips and tricks that will help you install equipment in your rack, make your life easier when transporting your equipment from one show to another, and ensure you get the most out of your rack. As there is a lot to consider when purchasing racks and cases for your specific combination of equipment, please feel free to contact us for more information.
The right rack depth The space behind the mounting gear reserves space for all cables / connectors that need to remain connected when the rack is closed. Alhva exoracks have a rack depth of 19.5" (50 cm ), a compact enough size to accommodate most interfaces on the market. If you think you have a very deep interface and are not sure how much space you will need in your rack, contact us and tell us what equipment you need to rack and we will help you find the best option.
Balance the Rack Mount the heaviest gear at the bottom of the rack and the lighter items at the top. This will help keep the rack balanced, prevent it from tipping over when moved, and make it easier to transport and lift.
Allow airflow Electronic equipment, especially amplifiers, can generate a lot of heat. Heat buildup threatens the life of your equipment. If equipment such as an amplifier gets really hot, leave at least an empty space between the equipment in the rack to allow for airflow. By having channels along its entire length and not pre-set holes, Alhva exoracks allow you to determine by slip, the distance and position of equipment in the frame with complete freedom. Heat builds up, so try to organize things on your rack so that the biggest heat producers are unaffected. In some cases, you might need a rack-mount fan to keep things cool.
Convenient Power and Lighting Solutions Rack-mountable power conditioners can provide eight or more outlets in a single rack space. Using one of these straps allows you to keep power cords organized and means you only need to find one outlet to connect your equipment rack. Because working on a rack in a dark club or studio can be challenging, many rack-mountable power conditioners include retractable lights that can illuminate the rack's equipment.
What is ATA? ATA is the abbreviation for Air Transport Association. It sets the standards for cargo transport on aircraft. Among these are the requirements for approved equipment boxes. The ATA designation means that the case complies with the minimum ATA requirements for a case of this size and type. All alhva cases, including the exorack, are shipped as a bag, and are within ATA compliance.
Understanding the "U" in Portable Racks The width and height of rack-mountable equipment is standardized internationally by manufacturers in the audio industry. At the center of this pattern is the unit, or rack space. A rack space is defined internationally as 1.75" top to bottom and 19" wide.
Rack space - top to bottom Rack equipment has a standard called rack unit, and 1.75″ is the height of 1 unit (1U) equipment. Thus, the height of the equipment is now measured in rack units, where one unit (1U) is 1.75", 2U is 3.5" and so on. Alhva exoracks are constructed without holes, and their rails allow mounting of equipment of any height of unit.
Rack Space - Left to Right From left to right, rack unit spaces are 19″ wide. Some equipment is also described as 1/2 or 1/3 rack unit. From left to right in a rack, one piece of 1U rack, two pieces of 1/2 rack unit, or three pieces of 1/3 rack unit can respectively fit.
The Alhva 4-unit Alhva exorack has snap rails at the top and bottom, and if placed in a vertical position, it can also accommodate 1/2 U equipment.
Rack Accessory Needs
rack screws
Although there is not much technical talk involved with rack screws, it is important to note that alhva racks do not have holes. The connection of the screw that secures the interface to the rack is through a nut that is recessed and slides on the rail. It is important for you to know that the nuts that come with the exoracks are M6 standard and the groove depth is 6mm. Thus, the 8mm M6 screws that come with the exorack should handle the vast majority of existing interfaces, which have a 2mm "ear". There are some interface models with a more robust earplate, for example the Focusrite 6mm interfaces. In these cases you will need longer length M^ screws. Alhva also supplies, through Legal Parts, different types of screws as optional accessories with different types of heads. You can prefer Phillips screws, slotted or alen, square heads or Torx, as long as in M6 standard and with length according to your equipment. Finally, be sure to use washers so you don't scratch your equipment (a condition known as rack rash).
Rack Drawers Planning a drawer in your rack may not be vital for great sound, but it's certainly a useful place to put all the other things that need to be with your gear, like a tape measure, headphones, your SPL meter, tester cable, remote controls and hearing protection. If you need drawers or even external bags, please contact us for more information.
Rack Shelves From time to time , you may want to place equipment in your rack that is not designed to be rack mounted. Alhva also has solutions for these situations. Whether you need to temporarily place them or permanently attach them, Alhva rack shelves will be the solution. If you need rack shelves in your rack, please contact us and let us know the measurements of the equipment(s) you need to rack and we will help you find the best option.

The definitive 7-step guide to choosing the perfect sofa
There is no doubt about the role of the sofa in your home, whether in the living room or office, it will always occupy a prominent place. Versatile, the sofa can perform numerous functions, from accommodating the family and their visitors for a good chat or watching some TV programming to serving as a bed for any guests.
In addition, the sofa also has the function of delimiting the space in the environment in relation to the rest of the furniture, serving as a parameter for the coffee table, armchairs, rug, rack etc.
However, it is the type of furniture that has many different configurations, as well as sizes and shapes, depending on the purpose you want to give to the piece. Therefore, in addition to the aesthetic highlight it provides to the decor, it can bring many other advantages.
On the other hand, with so many aspects to be considered, it is common to be in doubt when choosing the right model. And it will all depend on your needs, available space, personal taste, existing decor and, of course, your budget.
So, when choosing the perfect sofa for your living room or office, follow our tips below:
1 – Define the environment in which the sofa will be used
When choosing the ideal sofa, the first step is to determine where it will be used, that is, the type of environment, living room, TV room, guest bedroom, or office.
This is because the environment will directly influence the type of sofa and its purpose. A sofa for a TV room, for example, should be soft and deep, and can even be stretched by a chaise for greater comfort.
On the other hand, the same sofa would not be ideal in a living room, which is more focused on socializing with family or friends for a chat. Very deep, softer sofas can make it more difficult to sit and stand.
In this case, as the priority is to receive visitors, prefer firmer seats, with standard height (around 45cm), less deep (around 90cm) and with straighter backs.
And in the case of an office or guest room, perhaps the sofa could have the same features as above, but be retractable or sofa-bed type.
Finally, if the environment is multipurpose, with several functions – receiving, watching TV and hosting – you have the option of mixing all these characteristics: a firmer and less deep sofa, but with a part with a chaise that stretches and can serve as a sofa bed.
Another tip is to maximize space by using puffs to add even more comfort and stretch your feet, as well as comfortable pillows.
2 – Choose the sofa model based on utility Another important factor to be considered is the sofa model in relation to its usefulness. Like the environment, defining what you expect from the sofa is essential for it to be useful. As we saw above, each model will play a specific role, depending on the environment in which it will be placed.
Retractable or reclining sofa
A retractable or reclining sofa model has the advantage of being able to adapt to your needs of the moment, that is, reclining when you want to relax more comfortably, stretching your legs or lying down to take a nap.
The fixed sofa option is the simplest and most traditional, as it structurally does not have any type of seat and back movement. It is a very popular choice, as it is easy to be inserted in any environment, even being smaller, with the possibility to choose between 2 to 3 places, or even more, depending on the available space.
This model is worth the investment, especially for those who live in a house or apartment with little space or less rooms. Currently, there are several models that are very comfortable, both when used for sitting and receiving and for sleeping. It can be incorporated into various environments, whether it is a living room, bedroom or office.
As well as the retractable and reclining, the sofa bed also allows you to move the structure to become a bed and vice versa, very easily. A very practical solution for those who usually receive guests or who do not have several spaces, such as the kitnet. They can be found in double or single versions, in various models.
Corner sofa If space is not an issue in your home, the corner sofa is an excellent choice , as it was developed to accommodate several people (4, 5 or 6 seats, and variations), as well as having several different configurations, offering more possibilities to explore the useful space of the room.
Another advantage is that, although it takes up more space as it is a larger piece, the “L” shape helps bring people closer to the environment, making it excellent for entertaining visitors. They can be found in fixed, retractable or chaise models, which can be on the right or left side of the piece, as needed.
3 – Determine the ideal size of the sofa
The size of the sofa will be determined by the space available in your room. The best thing to do is measure the room as a whole and make a kind of floor plan with all the furniture you want to combine. If it's on a better scale, then try to write down the measurements of everything.
Consider a minimum of 60 cm free on each side of the sofa, in addition to the circulation space between other furniture, such as armchairs, coffee tables and corner tables. 2-seat sofas, for example, usually measure around 160 cm and 3-seat sofas around 200 cm.
Try to avoid sofas deeper than 100 cm in smaller rooms. Sofas with exposed feet give an impression of lightness to spaces and work well in small spaces. Don't forget to measure the width of doors, elevators, stairs and other passages to ensure the sofa can be delivered without difficulty.
4 – Attention to the fabric and foam of the upholstery
Both the sofa upholstery and the foam make all the difference, but the choice depends on your taste and style. In the case of foam, you will have to consider the weight of who will be using the sofa frequently.
In general, seats between D28 and D33 are the most used, as they offer greater firmness and comfort. The elastic straps, which help to support all this foam, provide an extra layer of softness and flexibility.
The coating is what will give the appearance and aesthetic charm to the piece, also determining its style in relation to the decoration of the environment. However, the lining fabric is also directly linked to use.
Suede, for example, is one of the most used fabrics, as it is soft to the touch and does not scratch. Other fabrics such as cotton linen, polyester linen, corino and leather have different proposals to the touch, but meet most tastes.
However, they may not be the best option for those who have children or pets at home. In this case, the ideal is to opt for more durable fabrics (canvas or jeans type) in dark colors, natural leather, fabrics for external areas such as "acquablock" or removable and washable covers.
Now, if you don't have children, there are options below:
Pelleted twill A soft, 100% cotton, natural option, available in a variety of colors, great for sofa covers.
Linen
It can be natural or mixed, with synthetic fibers for greater durability. Synthetic linen has the advantage that it can be waterproofed and not wrinkle, but natural linen has a soft feel and “crumpled” texture that give it a cozy and rustic look.
Chenille Very popular for its durability and price, although it's not one of the nicest ones. If your budget only allows this coating, choose models with low gloss and closed weave.
Very popular and resistant, but with a softer feel than chenille. But avoid the "wet" and shiny style.
Designer's Tip : Ask for samples of the sofa fabric before buying, many online stores send a small sample by post, paying the shipping cost.
5 – Determine the fabric color
The color of the fabric that covers the sofa is important so that it composes the room decoration properly and matches the rest of the furniture. But, it also depends on the highlight you want to give the piece, as well as impacting its use.
Dark colors, for example, can better hide dirt and possible stains, being more suitable for those who have children and pets at home. If your choice is a dark sofa, but the floor is also dark, use a light rug to create contrast and highlight the sofa.
Thus, also evaluate the “base” color of the environment, ie, the colors of the floor and walls. If your walls and floor are light, you can use a dark or light sofa, mixing accessories with natural textures or vibrant colors.
Sofas in neutral colors are a safe choice and you'll be able to use many textures and other colors to accentuate the decor. In the case of colored or patterned sofas, opt for neutral colors such as earth tones, black, beige or gray, so as not to get seasick.
And if you want to be daring with a colorful or patterned sofa, choose the piece first, then the rest of the furniture and accessories depending on it.
6 – Set your budget and search
In addition to variations in models, sofas also come with an infinite price range. So set your budget, enter a considerable range of prices. search the internet for sofa models available in the market to find out which ones fit your price range.
After a lot of research, don't be surprised if you discover that the sofa of your dreams doesn't fit your budget. So, keep your mind open to the adjustments, changing the color, fabric, style or size you want.
If your budget is tight, look for simple models, with straight lines and balanced proportions, but avoid the models that are too cheap, they tend to lack quality, durability and, above all, comfort.
7 – Compare the model with the rest of the furniture
Before deciding for the definitive model, select 2 or 3 models that meet your preferences and expectations to compare them with what you already have at home and that will be used in the same room. For example, the rug, tables, armchairs, pillows, paintings, etc.

Find out how to choose the ideal furniture for your home!
Building a new house takes work, but it's one of the most amazing experiences you can have. However, tasks such as choosing furniture can be a little more difficult than expected due to different criteria that need to be aligned and met.
Choosing pieces with good design is not just for furnishing your home, but also for transforming an empty space into a home that provides warmth and conveys your personality.
See our post for the best tips on choosing furniture without mistakes, to transform your home into a beautiful, pleasant and functional environment!
Understand your style Before buying furniture, it is important that you define how your decoration will be, after all, choosing furniture for your home is translating your personality traits to an environment.
There are a multitude of styles out there: classic, modern, minimalist, rustic, Scandinavian, ethnic, urban, etc. Each one with different lines, colors, textures and patterns translated into decorative pieces that often convey a whole philosophy of life. One of them, for sure, will be your face!
This definition even helps when choosing stores — since they need to have pieces that meet the range of characteristics of the trend you choose. So, search and read about the styles that you like the most, in order to find the best option.
Look for inspirations After determining a style for your decoration, a simple and useful idea is to look for room inspirations with compositions that you like. There are apps for smartphones and websites that can serve as inspiration, such as Pinterest , which bring images of amazing spaces, with virtually any demand and combinations in the most diverse ways.
However, be careful not to get confused! As these pages have a huge amount of inspiration, it's easy to get lost and run away from the objective. As such, it's essential to stay focused and look for several similar and affordable alternatives—even if you don't overrun the budget.
Not to forget anything, have these images at hand when you go looking for furniture in stores in your region. Understand the measures of the environment Knowing well the available area inside your house or apartment is essential to choose the most suitable furniture. For this, the ideal is to have a floor plan or, if this is not available, to measure as accurately as possible.
The dimensions of the rooms are crucial to understand the maximum size that tables, sofas, cabinets and the rest of the furniture can occupy without compromising circulation, even because it is unpleasant to walk around the house bumping into things, right?
For any location—whether large or small—ergonomy also deserves full attention. Pay attention to your measurements and those of those who live with you to avoid problems such as chairs too low for the dining table, countertops that are too high, or cabinets and shelves that make it difficult to reach objects.
Combine materials and colors It is not enough to have a well-defined palette of colors, textures and materials from the choice of the decorative style — it is necessary that these initial concepts are truly put into practice when setting up the environments.
In living rooms, for example, it is recommended that the sofa be smooth and neutral in color — such as white, brown, gray, beige or black. This is because neutrality allows for a number of possibilities: a beige sofa, for example, goes very well with a mirrored or wooden coffee table, as well as rugs with ornate prints or with geometric patterns. However, if your style is more relaxed, the sofa in vibrant colors can also have a special place in your living room decor.
In this way, following this rationale for choosing furniture will allow you to change the decor in the future, with much less effort and without spending too much.
Look for practicality When choosing furniture in stores, don't be carried away by the look alone. Try to evaluate dimensions, shapes and materials in order to understand how to clean upholstery, how to keep metals always shiny and what special care each piece needs.
Since most people have a very busy routine, sometimes it's much more interesting to take the weight off a set of furniture and invest in other solutions. Live alone? A good idea is to leave the idea of a dining table for later, replacing it with a bench to make meals and investing in ottomans and stools to welcome friends at home. Multifunctional furniture is also very welcome, especially in small spaces
For those who live in a family, other aspects of daily life need to be a point of attention. Children and elderly at home? Avoid furniture with sharp corners, keep circulations freer and carpet edges always under furniture to avoid accidents.
Make lists A successful strategy is to make a list of the furniture items needed for each room in the house. With this list in hand, it is possible to establish an order of priority to choose the main furniture, then the desired items and, finally, the accessories.
Then, visit quality physical stores to find the most cost-effective furniture that suits you. Thus, the chances of saving and not buying unnecessary items are greatly reduced.
Invest in dream items Not everything in a house is all about functionality. If there's a coffee table, decorative mirror, or headboard that you've always dreamed of having and finally found, don't be afraid to take it home. After all, they also translate your personal tastes, creativity and personality!
In order not to get lost and keep expenses under control, pay attention to the priority list from the previous tip. Desire furniture can come in when the list is properly fulfilled or, in a more flexible analysis, in place of some less urgent accessories. The important thing is that the environments are the way you always wanted them.
Prioritize quality Preferring to purchase resistant furniture, well structured and with good quality in general, ensures that your decoration is durable and that there is no damage to the design of the environments over the years.
Try talking to sellers, researching manufacturers' websites, and seeking opinions from other customers about selected manufacturers. Thus, you will have a very complete analysis of what each product has to offer for your home in terms of quality.

What is a futon? Many people do not know it by name, but futon is a quilt, which can be used as a sofa, replacing mattresses, covering benches and chairs and as a puff indoors and outdoors. The futon is low, malleable and flexible, these features allow it to be folded in different ways. And you can put it away easily, because of the ties on the sides.
The filling varies from one model to another, but it can be foam, cotton or materials of synthetic origin. The outer covering can be made of cotton, polyester, canvas and noble fabrics such as silk and linen.
What style of futon suits me? The term futon is used to designate other pieces, such as the Kakibushi, Shikibuton, Zabuton, Zafu and Turkish puff. We'll talk about the characteristics of each model throughout this section.
Shikibuton The shikibuton is the most used type because it replaces the mattress. This model is rectangular and can be dense or malleable. It should be placed on top of a mat or structure for comfort.
Did you know that in Japan, people believe that sleeping close to the ground ensures that the earth absorbs the bad energies, renews the good ones, and provides a more restful sleep? The shikibuton traditional, is thin, but very firm and, together with the lower height of the bed, brings some health benefits such as improved blood circulation, muscle relaxation and proper sleeping posture.
Kakibushi The Kakibushi is a type of foldable puff which can also be used as a small mattress. It is ideal for those who have little space at home, as it can be easily stored.
The Kakibushi futon can be used as a small mattress.
Zabuton The zabuton is shaped similar to a pillow , so it is used on benches, sofas or chairs. This style of futon can be made from cotton or noble fabrics such as silk and linen.
Zafu The zafu is also similar to a pillow, the big difference being the round shape. The zafu is often used as a meditation cushion as it helps to maintain balance and good posture.
Turkish puff The Turkish puff is ideal for outdoor areas as it can be used directly on the floor and is thicker than the other models. The casing is usually made of moisture and heat resistant materials.
Where can I use futon? The futon can be used in various rooms in the house: in the living room, children's and adults' bedrooms and in outdoor areas such as balconies, verandas and gardens. In the living room, you can place the futon on a rug or on top of a wooden frame. In this environment, the futon serves as a sofa, but it doesn't take up as much space as it is smaller and lower.
An excellent choice for living room is the kakibushi , replacing the sofa. You can also distribute some zabutons or zafus on the floor for people to sit on.
In the bedroom, the futon can serve as a single or double bed, if placed on top of a mat or structure. Futon is also an excellent option if you usually have guests at home.
When used as a bed, futon has numerous health benefits. (Source: Buenosia Carol / Pexels) In the children's room, the futon is an excellent option, as it gives the child freedom to move without the risk of falling from great heights, stimulates learning and observation skills.
This is the philosophy of the Montessorian method, which suggests replacing the conventional crib with a futon, so as not to confine the little ones between bars. If you are going to test the method, it is worth consulting an expert.
For the rooms, we suggest that you choose a Shikibuton futon , you can find single or double models.
In outdoor areas it is recommended to look for a futon coated with acrylic fabric, waterproof or at least buy a cover with these characteristics, to protect the futon from the action of sunlight and humidity.
Our suggestion is to use a Turkish puff, designed for outdoor environments. You can also place a kakibushi to be used as a sofa or puff .
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a futon?
Futon has numerous advantages in addition to versatility of use. One is that it takes up little space, giving the feeling that the room is larger. Besides, being a neutral object, the futon adapts to any style of decoration.
The futon is easy to handle as it is light and flexible, so you can change its position whenever you want to test new possibilities for use. In addition, this quilt is ideal for those who do not adapt or do not like very high beds.
One downside is that proximity to the floor makes the mattress more susceptible to dirt (this is one of the reasons Japanese people don't wear shoes at home).
If you are buying a futon to sleep ( shikibuton ), choose with caution, as some models are uncomfortable. The ideal is to buy a model with greater thickness, so that you can adapt gradually.

How to save the futon? To prolong the futon's life, you need to take certain precautions. Cleaning must be done dry, with a vacuum cleaner and never with water, as the coating and filling are made of fabric. Any dirt and stains should be removed with a little water and mild soap, but the procedure should be done quickly, so that moisture does not penetrate the fabric layers.
Occasionally, try turning it over, as we do with the mattress, to avoid deformations in the structure and the unevenly fading of the piece.
To avoid musty smell, it is essential to put the futon to "take air" from time to time. The sun will also do well in this regard, but avoid leaving it for a long time, as the sun's rays damage the fabric.
How much? Futon prices vary, the cheapest are the zabuton and zafu models , which start at R$15. You can find excellent quality options for up to R$50 and more expensive versions, which reach R$200. The kakibushi also has affordable prices, there are cheaper models between R$ 80 and R$ 150. If you choose one that already comes with a solid wood structure, the price goes up to around R$ 1,500.
The shikibuton is the most expensive model, costs between R$700 (single) and R$1,000 (double), but these prices do not include the structure. Where to buy? You can find several futon models in physical stores such as:

Base The futon base can be made of wood, metal, steel, masonry or pallets of different materials. The platform can be adapted to receive shelves and drawers, to optimize the organization of the room.
Choose a base that matches the rest of the environments. Choose the futon structure well, pallets, for example, are cheaper, but the durability is low. If the platform is complete, ventilation decreases and care with cleaning and hygiene doubles.
