Furniture Buying Secrets: Get The Most Bang For Your Buck

By Belinda Norbert


You want people to come in your house and say, "Wow!" You want them to look around and think you are a millionaire. They should ask you who your interior designer is. All of this should come within your budget. This article will show you the ropes when it comes to smart furniture shopping.

Ask friends and relatives for recommendations. Everyone has bought furniture at one time or another, so it's important that you check with people you know, who can give you a place to start. That way, you can hit the ground running and make your search go more efficiently, getting your furniture much quicker.

When purchasing a new bed, make sure you lay down on it to find the perfect comfort level for you. Many times people who choose pillowtop mattresses find that the mattress is too soft once they get it home. To help you avoid this, lay down in the bed in the position that you sleep in to ensure it suits your comfort levels.

Take color into consideration prior to buying furniture. For example, a choice of bold colors or broad patterns may be difficult to coordinate with if you decide you want a change in years to come. Neutral colors will go with anything; use patterns and bright colors on the accessories instead.

If the piece of furniture you are buying has doors or drawers, test them out. Drawers should slide smoothly and open completely. When you close them, they should line up evenly. For cabinet doors, once you open them, they should stay open. You should also make sure that they close and latch securely.

If you choose to purchase a reclining chair or sofa, be sure it works at the store. If not, it may arrive at your house broken. It may be hard to get a replacement from certain furniture stores.

If you want to make a truly environmental statement, buy furniture made with recycled wood. This not only saves trees, but often the wood pieces are available in sizes and widths not possible from managed or young forests. This means you get unique furniture that is as good for your style as it is for the Earth. Wood is often recycled from old buildings and structures, remnants from historical logging periods, landfill scraps and even retired orchard trees.

Now your friends will compliment your decor. They will look around with a smile upon their face. They are going to ask you just how you did it all without breaking a sweat. This article taught you what you need to know, now go shop for furniture and get what you need.
