Furniture stores market things like your favorite national clothing store displays outfits.
When most people shop for clothes they do not look in the window and agree to a complete purchase as shown, regardless of size or color. Yet somehow, many do this very thing when it comes to filling their nest.

Shop for furnishings and accessories as you would your own wardrobe. Cookie cutter interiors should never be a solution to fill an empty space, rather an expression of your needs and desires.
Try pulling a chair and sofa from different collections. Then add other items in the same color family with accents that are complementary.
Unusual and re-purposed pieces are another way to personalize. This could be an old wagon box as a table, unique items converted into lamps, two headboards on one frame to create a daybed. Limiting yourself to all new pieces is not necessary for a modern look, one rustic thing can add interest to a contemporary space.
Ask questions like these to help you determine your needs beyond what looks good:
Who will use it?
What is the primary use of the room--sleep or study in a bedroom? TV and/or entertaining in a living room?--etc.
What else will go on in the room--home office, retreat haven, television viewing, visiting with the children, reading, etc.?
Lastly, always consider the scale of your room. Many sofas and chairs appear roomy and comfortable in the store, but are actually too big for most homes. If you have a large room, high ceilings, or an open floor plan these over-stuffed pieces are fine.
