Get the right furniture when you go to a local furniture store

Are you planning to give your home a new style and look? Updating your furniture should be one of your jams! Choosing a stunning furniture as a central piece can make your room fresh and new again. But before you go to a furniture store near you, here are some tips on getting the right furniture for your home.

• The type of wood used says a lot about the quality of the furniture. Solid wood furniture is more expensive but is almost guaranteed to last long. Veneers have inexpensive base covered with better quality wood. Composite wood pieces and particle boards are made of pulp, resins and plastics- although cheap, they may not last for decades.
• Check that the drawers and cabinet pull all the way out, latches properly and shuts evenly.
• As much as possible, avoid glued and nailed wood joints. Instead, look for pieces joined by a joinery.
• When choosing furniture fabrics, consider your lifestyle. For example, if you have kids then consider dark-colored stain-proof fabrics and if you have pets, consider scratch resistant and sturdy materials.
• While that bold neon-colored sofa fits perfectly in the modern furniture store’s showcase room, it may not be the case once you place it in your room. Consider how it’ll look in your room and perhaps a good advice is to stick to neutral colors.
• Carefully inspect the legs, the springs and the cushion for quality and comfort. If you’re in a bedroom furniture store shopping, take the chance to feel the bed.
• To save more on your purchases, take advantage of the times when your local furniture shops push to empty out their inventory (normally at the end of the year). Cheap furniture stores also sell used but quality furniture.
