Furnishing a home on a budget is simple if you pay attention to some basic money-saving tips. First, figure out what your needs are by asking yourself the following questions:
|
|
* How long do you plan to be in the house? Is it a starter home, or will you live there for a long time?
|
|
* What furniture
do you need for your lifestyle? For example, do you entertain frequently? Do you expect many overnight guests?
|
|
* What do you use each room of the house for?
|
| * Do you have enough storage? |
|
 |
|
| Second, dream big. Read through decorating and lifestyle magazines to find your "dream" rooms. What would your house look like if money were no object? Start a file with pictures and ideas that you'd like to copy. Draw up a floor plan of the room or rooms you will be decorating. Make a list of the furniture you currently own, noting what you want to keep and what you'd like to replace. |
| Finally, draw up a budget. How much can you realistically afford to spend? Now it's time to go shopping.
|
| One way to save money is to buy "flat-pack," or ready-to-assemble furniture. Ready-to-assemble furniture offers several advantages. First, you don't have to wait for delivery. Because the furniture is in boxes, you can load it in your car and have it in your house the very same day. Another advantage is price. When you invest a little of your own time and labor putting the furniture together, you save money
