Five Ways To Furnish Your Home Without Going Broke
Furnishing a home can be a very exciting, but sometimes costly experience. Just furnishing one room can easily exceed $1,000 – $2,000, depending on where the furniture is purchased, as well as the specific brand. If you are on a budget and you would like to furnish your home, this can be accomplished as long as you use the right techniques. Here are five ways to prevent you from going into debt as you furnish your home, whether you’re furnishing the entire house or a single room.
Clearance room
Just about every furniture store has a clearance room, and this part of the store often offers many great deals. By shopping for clearance items, you can save as much as 50% or even more, so it could be well-worth your time to check out the clearance rooms in all the Furniture Stores Sarasota has.
Thrift Stores
You could possibly find some very nice and like-new furniture at the thrift stores in your area. Most people frown at the idea of purchasing secondhand furniture, but many of the higher end thrift stores carry furniture that has barely been used and that costs up to 70-80% less than if purchased brand new.
Layaway
Many furniture stores offer a layaway to customers who would like to purchase furniture but don’t have the full cost upfront. You can place the items of your choice in the layaway, while conveniently making payments on it whenever you get paid, until you have paid the full price.
Financing
Every furniture store offers some type of financing program, and more and more stores are even offering special financing for those with less-than-perfect credit. This allows everyone, regardless of their credit rating, to immediately take home furniture but pay a set monthly price until it is fully paid.
Craigslist
If you have never used Craigslist before, then you may have missed out on some potentially wonderful deals. Not only can you find really nice almost-new furniture on Craigslist, but by dealing with individuals instead of businesses, you might even have the option of bartering and possibly not paying a cent for your “new” furniture.
Obviously there are ways to furnish an entire home without paying more than your budget allows. As long as you follow the previous tips, you should be able to add attractive furnishing to your home without going broke.
