Furniture is one of the most important parts of home decoration. And it is among our biggest expectations that these furniture pieces host our rooms for a long time. Of course, we know that this continuity and quality are the result of a good research process. So, what should be considered when buying furniture? Is the only important criterion to create an aesthetic appearance? Or are these just minor details? In this article, we will share tips about what to consider when buying furniture for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms, which will be very useful for you. We wish you enjoyable reading.
1-) Always Choose Quality!
When buying furniture, the most important thing to consider is to carefully select items that can be a part of your decoration and have a long lifespan. Contrary to popular belief, quality is more striking than aesthetic appearance. So, what material should we prefer when buying furniture? We have two options in front of us: MDF and particleboard (SUNTALAM in Turkish). Although particleboard may sound more economical, MDF will be a better option for your furniture to have a long life. This way, the furniture you buy will make you feel comfortable due to its quality materials and will not be quickly deformed or faded. For a quality product, you should also conduct thorough research on the brand!

2-) Pay attention to color selection when choosing furniture!
After you’ve found the furniture you’re looking for, what should you pay attention to next? The color selection of the furniture is as important as the furniture selection itself. Highlighting the design model and creating a harmonious decoration depends entirely on achieving color harmony! At this point, it is beneficial to use more soft and bright colors. This way, you can make the house look larger and brighter than it actually is. Colors that are visually tiring and may eventually bore you can lead to regret in the future. To eliminate this problem, you should choose colors that will give you peace and calmness when you step into your home. Another thing to consider when choosing colors is that the furniture color should be harmonious with the wall color and other furniture colors. Remember, the more consistent your choice, the more flawless your decoration will be!
3-) Do you know the dimensions of your space?
If your home is small, you can choose furniture that will make your home look larger by considering the dimensions. This way, you can achieve a cozy and spacious look without cluttering your home with furniture. If you have a large home, you can add color to your home by using unique designs for a dining table and a comprehensive TV unit. As always, we recommend including the measurements of the furniture you purchase in an integrated plan along with an estimated calculation. All you have to do is draw a rough plan of the room you are shopping for decoration. For example, where is the wall you will use for the wall unit? How much width and height can you choose for the unit in this position? Then, with the drawings you have made, you can determine the ideal size of the furniture model you have found and dispel any doubts about its compatibility with your room.

4-) Listen to Your Needs!
When choosing furniture, always consider your needs! For example, do you need the furniture you’re buying just to complete the decoration, to achieve an aesthetic appearance, or are you looking for functional furniture that will also meet many of your needs such as storage? For example, if you prefer extra storage space, you can choose beds with storage bases, convertible sofa sets, and coffee tables that can be used as a table. This way, you can save space by putting many items such as pillows and blankets inside the bed. By choosing a console-style TV unit, you can easily find a place for your dining sets. If you choose sofa beds, they will definitely be your savior when guests arrive! However, if you want an aesthetic appearance, the options are quite wide. Trust your creativity at this point!
5-) Pay Attention to Its Practicality in Daily Life!
When choosing furniture, you should prefer items that you will not have difficulty cleaning or rearranging your room. This way, you will avoid your belongings from quickly getting messy and your decoration from becoming shallow. Another detail that will make your job much easier in terms of cleaning is to check if the sofa set is high above the ground when choosing it. Sofas with removable and wheeled bottoms always make your job easier! Similarly, when buying important items such as a coffee table or a display cabinet, you can consider whether they are wheeled or not. Otherwise, the furniture you buy with pleasure can become a nightmare for you over time!
Happy, enjoyable shopping!
