You want your pieces to be well-built, functional, stylish and affordable. With all of these concerns, beginning the design process can be stressful for most homeowners. But do not fret, because we have you covered with our six tips for buying furniture.  

Tips for Buying Furniture: 

1. Get Durable Fabrics.

Consider how many accidental spills or stains occur in your house. The more durable the fabric, the better. Expert designers recommend buying fabrics that can be used indoors or outdoors. These fabrics are sure to pass the test for stain resistance. 

2. Consider Proportions.

Try not fall in love with a piece of furniture that will not fit in your house. Measure the room and buy furniture that fits the room’s proportions. It is better to know if it will work beforehand than getting it and finding out it will not fit.

3. Rethink Your Current Pieces.

Your current furniture has done the job for so many years. Why not reuse it? You can reupholster fabric chairs, paint antique dressers, etc. 

4. Go Thrifting.

Thrift shops are a hotbed for good finds. You may be pleasantly surprised by what cool things you can discover at your local thrift store. 

5. Matching is a Must.

The underlying wood tone needs to be the same color to have your room’s furniture flow. You can get away with going a few shades lighter or darker, but you should make sure to buy the same type of wood. This can truly make a huge difference in your home’s design. 

6. Shop for a Statement.

Every room needs a statement piece! From a locally crafted dining room table to a gasp-worthy chandelier, consider making a statement in your room’s design.
