Have you walked into a furniture store recently and seen the gorgeous new pieces that are screaming your name? Are you trying to convince your husband to let you spend hard earned money on some new furniture? Here are 4 questions to ask before buying new furniture to make sure you love it for years to come.
1. How much space do I have? Space is so important because it ultimately determines the size of furniture you will buy as well as the number of new pieces to put in a room. Personally I love decorating both large and small spaces. I love small spaces because you can splurge on your pieces of furniture and get something absolutely breathtaking that you wouldn’t be able to afford in a larger space. large spaces are fun because you can try something daring and big that serves as the main focal point for your room. Just be sure to consider space when choosing what pieces of furniture you want to buy.
2. What is the space Used for? There is no use buying lovely white couches if you have even lovelier little toddlers with dirty fingers running around! Is your furniture going to be used on a daily basis? Is it more of a design statement than a functional piece of well used furniture? Will adults or children be using it? Is it where the family eats, or gathers or reads? If you are considering furniture where your family eats a great leather is an excellent choice because it is so easy to clean. If you plan to watch a movie where this new furniture will go you’ll want something super comfy. These are just a few tips for considering what the space is used for when determining the perfect piece of furniture!
3. How long do I plan to use my new furniture? How long you intend to keep a certain piece of furniture determines how much you spend on it and also what style you chose. Are you the kind of person that just loves getting new furniture every couple of years? If so, you may want to consider lower end furniture that doesn’t cost quite as much. You also can get furniture that is very trendy as you know you’ll replace it in a couple years. If buying new furniture is only something that happens every 10 years in your house then you should consider timeless pieces that are solid and well built. Showhome Furniture specializes in high end furniture that is built to last. That way when you spend you hard earned money you have the assurances that it will be the kind of quality that you can pass down to your kids.
4. What is my budget? This is the most important question when considering what and how much new furniture to buy. Nobody wants to feel sick inside when they look at their lovely new couch because it was more than they should have spent. No, it’s far better to save up and buy exactly what you want when you have the money for it. There is a lot of beautiful pieces of furniture to fit every budget. If you keep your eye open for sales (hint: ShowHome Furniture ALWAYS has sales!!) than you can get something that you absolutely love for a price tag that even your husband won’t blink at!
