6 Best Furniture Buying Tips to Shop Smart
Today there are endless shops that sell furniture in Singapore in different styles and types making you spoilt for choice. To help you shop smart below, are some amazing tried and tested tips.
Construction- Always buy furniture that is heavy and solid and keep away from light aluminum frames and particleboard but choose construction made of solid wood because these will last longer. In fact, this is the standard when it comes to fine furniture. But ensure that the cost is consistent in accordance with the expectation of how long it will last. Do not forget about the cushion. Remember no matter how gorgeous the upholstery piece maybe you cannot enjoy until it is comfortable.
Silhouette- Buying a piece of furniture is a big and important investment and will speak volumes about you. So, pick a silhouette which you will like now as well as in the future. However, this does not mean picking something that is out of style or is shapeless. No matter you are going for a traditional or contemporary look, the market is filled with updated options, so you are sure to find something for yourself.
Finish- If the furniture has exposed wood, finish color or stain is a vital point to focus on. Most can be dramatically altered via the finish color. You can change a traditional chair into something contemporary via changing the cherry color to black. Similarly, a piece painted in mahogany will appear more feminine right away when painted white.
Fabric- Fabrics that are light colored can be ideal for a bedroom, foyer or the formal living room. But if you plan to use it regularly, then go for fabric that is slightly darker.
The Unexpected- Search for a piece of furniture which has some personality or an unexpected element. The furniture overall shape may be unconventional to some extent, or there may be a nail head detail or some interesting tufting. Both ways, your personal style will be reflected clearly in the furniture piece that you pick.
Who will Use the Furniture? Decide who will use the furniture and how the piece will be used. Factor in playing games, snacking at the time of watching TV, pets or small children. A linen upholstery or one in cotton in a lovely cream shade which is
good for occasional use will succumb quickly to the heavy utilization of the family room. So, choose wisely. The bottom line is, buy your furniture pieces intelligently and enjoy maximum value for money.
Happy furniture shopping.
