3 Helpful Tips to Guide Your Home Furnishings Investment
A home design project can be exciting yet overwhelming. With so many choices and a range of price points, it’s easy for your budget to escalate quickly. And you want to ensure that you’re investing in furnishings that will compliment your lifestyle and taste. But where should you start?
Today, I’m sharing my top 3 tips and tricks to create a design plan and maximize your investment.
1. Invest in Quality Furnishings
The first items to consider in your design plan are your big-ticket pieces that get used daily, such as the family room sofa or kitchen table—select quality items for these areas that will stand the test of time.
Secondly, set aside a substantial portion for unique items that pull everything together, such as artwork and accessories.
2. Spend Your Dollars Strategically
You can save money in secondary spaces, like a spare bedroom, by selecting quality items without the expensive price tag. Mixing and matching designer pieces alongside stylish lower-priced items is a great way to maximize the budget without sacrificing the look.
3. Create a Furnishing Plan
Dedicate time on the front end to carefully craft your budget and think through your project. Creating a room-by-room furnishings plan will keep you focused and on track from the start. It is essential to set aside funds for furnishings before any renovations begin to ensure that you stay on budget.
A designer can help you reach your desired goals by working with you to develop a clear furnishings plan. In addition, our experience can save you money by helping you avoid making costly mistakes. Most importantly, a designer's talents and ability to visualize your space will help you create the home of your dreams.
