What Are The Key Factors To Consider When Buying Furniture?
Filed under:
There is a reason why you start questioning yourself when it comes to buying furniture.
I recently heard a stat that the average piece of furniture is kept by homeowners for 7-15 years. There is a reason furnishings feel like a purchase you should try to get right. The right piece of furniture is one you should be able to love from its “infancy to a driving permit”, at a minimum. That’s a long time!
Maybe this is why it becomes so daunting to buy a sofa? Maybe this is why you are caught in a decision paralysis mode when you start a home furnishing project. Buying furniture is no joke, so let’s talk through the key steps that will have you smooth sailing through your furniture purchases.
1. Review your mood board inspiration:
Always take the time to reference back to your initial mood board inspiration, before you actually start buying furniture. If you don’t already have a mood board, check out our mini-course here!
2. Refine your layout plan:
As you fine-tune your specific furniture selections, go back to your room and original layout thoughts for your space. This is the most critical step of designing your room that has become the most eye-opening for our MMDH Furnishing Method students.
3. Start the hunt for each piece of the puzzle:
Work through your ideal plan piece-by-piece to really understand how each item fits together. This gives you total control over your final room product. This will also reduce your return pile tenfold. You will gain confidence with each selection, and clutch momentum to keep moving forward.
4. Document your findings in one place:
Track all of your final specifications and purchases in one spreadsheet. We offer this as a bonus template for our students taking the MMDH Furnishing Method. A notebook or spreadsheet to track the details of each item will work too! The goal is to track detailed information about your orders to keep you on top of orders and any ongoing decisions for your space.
The MMDH Furnishing Method is a clutch tool to walk you through all of the above and soak in a couple of decades of professional experience in six easy-to-follow modules. This course will help you create a functional, beautiful, and personalized space that reflects your style and personality.
