Tips for Buying Brand New Furniture

If you are buying brand new furniture, there are a few important things to think about before handing over your credit card. Here we've listed some important tips to ensure you purchase the right furniture for your home:

Test it out

One of the most important things to do is test out the furniture in store before you buy it. For lounges, you should sit and lay on them to see how they feel.

Check the stability of the item of furniture

Look for any major flaws and make sure that - whatever it is - it's sturdy. If possible, flip it over to read the manufacturers information on the product.

Go for something that is ergonomic

This is especially important if you are prone to having back problems. Buying an arm chair that gives your neck, shoulders and back the correct support it needs can make all the difference.

Don't be too shy to haggle

Or if you are, bring someone with you who isn't. There's no harm in trying to get a better deal, or having something thrown in for free.

If in doubt about the colour, stick with something neutral

Neutral tones go with most colour schemes and are perfect for matching with other pieces of furniture.
