Ways to purchase Furniture

Regardless of your budget or the store you choose to buy furniture from, there are some important factors to consider. Here are some general tips for buying furniture:

1.     Determine your design style: Find a store that aligns with your personal style and preferences. Consider your personality and the colors you are drawn to. Also, think about how the furniture will fit into your space and how you plan on using it. You can use an Interactive Room Planner to visualize the size and scale of the furniture.

2.     Take accurate measurements: Always measure the length, width, and depth of the furniture. Ensure that the furniture can fit through hallways, doorways, and doors. One technique is to use painter's tape to mark out the furniture's dimensions on the floor or carpet, or use taped-together newspaper to create a template of the furniture's size. This will give you a better idea of how it will look in your space.

3.     Choose a store with a wide selection: Look for a store that offers a diverse range of furniture options. If you are buying multiple pieces in the same color or stain, it is advisable to purchase them from the same retailer to ensure a perfect match.

Purchasing Furniture Online

When it comes to buying furniture online, whether it's for your new home or to upgrade your current pieces, it's important to do your research. Not all online furniture stores are the same, so here are some tips to help you can find the best deals.

1.     Check the reputation: Before making any purchases, take some time to learn about the online furniture company's reputation. Visit their 'About Us' page, review their policies, and read customer reviews. Look for companies that provide information about their customer service, satisfaction guarantee, and contact details.

2.     Be aware of color variations: Keep in mind that the colors of furniture items may appear differently on your screen compared to others. To better understand the colors, ask for a fabric swatch. Some online retailers, they offer free swatches and are happy to provide them to customers.

3.     Pay attention to photos: Look for multiple photos of the furniture item you're interested in. Examine the room scenes, side angles, and back views to get a better idea of how the piece will look in your space. Don't forget to seek inspiration from other websites.

4.     Read the product description carefully: Ensure that you know the materials used in the furniture before making a purchase. Click on the "+" sign to access detailed dimensions and descriptions, how to assembly.... Look for durable and well-constructed pieces, and you may even find cleaning instructions in the product description.

5.     Check website security: Only buy furniture online from secure websites. When you reach the checkout stage, verify that the website URL changes from HTTP to HTTPS, indicating a secure site.

6.     Check for the shipping costs: reviewing the shipping policies of a store before making a purchase, which can typically be found on their FAQ page.

7.     Check for the return policy of a store, also commonly found on their FAQ page. Accessory returns are usually accepted within 30 days, non-custom furniture and rugs can be cancelled prior to shipment, while custom orders must be cancelled within 24 hours of the initial order.

8.     Take into consideration that taxes might be applicable to your purchase. Online retailers typically provide information about their tax policies on their 'About' page or during the checkout process. Verify the amount of tax prior to finalizing your purchase.

By following these steps, you can make decisions when buying furniture online and find high-quality pieces that meet your needs.
