What signs
point to the need to change furniture?
Before starting to buy, the first step is to know
when to actually change the furniture in your home. Initially, observe the
external conditions of each one of them.
Check, for example, if the sofa upholstery is torn
or if the furniture structure itself is worn out. In the case of the bed, the
ideal is to check the condition of the frame and also the mattress. Regarding
the dining table and chairs, the TV shelf and the cabinets, remember to check
for scratches, broken parts, rusted hinges and even if the paint is worn. If
the furniture is made of wood, it is necessary to pay attention to the
appearance of termites.
Other factors to be considered to see if it is time
to change the furniture or not are the need for more space for your family or
simply the desire to renew the environment and change the decor .
Why change
furniture?
The exchange of furniture is necessary mainly to
ensure safety and comfort for the residents of the house, as well as their
visits. Did you know that sitting or sleeping in broken chairs or beds can
cause physical damage, disrupting (and a lot) your rest period?
Change is also fundamental in the case of the
emergence of a new dynamic. This can happen due to the arrival of a new child,
for example, or the need to set up an office in one of the rooms for you to
work from home.
The truth is that there are several possible
situations that generate this need. Whatever your demand, however, it is
important to set priorities to avoid debt and unnecessary purchases. Keep an
eye to understand better!
How to save
on furniture exchange?
Now that you are aware of the signs and reasons for
changing furniture, the next step is to learn and apply some tips to save money
during this process. In the next topics, you will know our 6 golden tips:
1. Start
with the most needed items
It may seem obvious, but furniture must be changed
consciously, prioritizing those items that are really necessary. In practice,
only you will be able to make this assessment. In general, however, bed, sofa,
table and dining chairs are indispensable to ensure a better quality of life in
the home.
It is also possible to add in this relationship the
mattress, the kitchen cabinets and the wardrobe. Smaller furniture, such as
coffee tables, bedside tables and armchairs, however useful they may be, may be
second on the priority list.
2. Establish
a maximum spending ceiling
Another important point is to establish a limit for
spending on furniture exchange. To determine a specific amount, see how much is
available in the budget to target for that purpose. This is essential to avoid
the formation of debts or even hinder the payment of basic household expenses.
In fact, this attitude is even more necessary for
those who need financial control to start investing, see? Imagine that you have
a thousand Dollar to use when buying furniture and want to stay within the
limit of this ceiling, for example. It will be crucial, therefore, to
prioritize the most urgent items and leave the rest for later.
3. Save
money in advance
In addition to defining what is essential and
determining a limit on spending, it is also indicated to save the money that
will be used in advance, even if it takes you longer to actually make the
purchase. That way, you can even pay the expenses in cash, getting a good
discount for it. Shopping more at a single store is also often beneficial,
increasing your bargain openness.
4. Organize
finances
This is an indispensable step towards saving. In
fact, there are many ways to put this into practice, you know? A good suggestion
is to use mobile applications that help with the organization of finances,
thinking about saving the money necessary for the purchase of new furniture.
Writing down the month's earnings and expenses in a calendar or spreadsheet on
the computer is also a way to promote financial organization.
5. Try to
sell what is in good condition
In certain cases, the exchange of furniture happens
due to the birth of a child or the change of apartment, for example, not
necessarily due to the malfunction or excessive wear and tear of what one has.
Because if the furniture is still in good condition, it is worth trying to sell
it! This way you avoid waste and still get extra money for the new items you
will buy.
6. Research
well before you buy
Last but not least: do some research before buying
new custom
upholstered bed. There are countless options for stores, as well as
price variations practiced by them. Just be careful not to buy the cheapest,
but of the lowest quality, because the cheap can end up being much more
expensive later.
Before buying, remember to follow the tips we gave
here, be aware of how much you can really spend and check if the desired item
is really necessary for you and your family. In this way, it will be possible
to renew the environment without having to deal with financial problems.

furniture exchange, take the time to find out what are the essential items for
your home before the move!
