Buying new furniture for your home can be a big & difficult task. When you spend so much money on buying new furniture, you Certainly want everything to run perfectly. Below are our top tips for buying online.
Measure your doorways – Never forget to take out a measuring tape and measure all the doorways your chosen piece of furniture needs to pass through. Always measure the space available at the staircase, hallways and lifts, so that the furniture can be easily moved into your house.
Match the colours – It is essential to take into account the colour of your existing furniture and the interior decor of your home before adding any new piece of furniture. Don’t just choose any colour for your new piece; just because it looks beautiful on our website, it may not look quite the same in your home. We are able to spray paint your chosen piece literally, whatever colour you like! We can even post out samples to ensure the colour is right for you
Take into account the use of the furniture – Customers have been known to get carried away with our designs and colour options of the furniture that they can forget who the user will be. Choosing light coloured upholstery fabric for your furniture can be a disaster for households that have pets and small children.
Take the scale into consideration – An armchair or table that looks just perfect on our website can appear too big in your room. It is hard to judge the scale when seeing it online. All our product descriptions show the approx dimensions of each piece. It is important so that your new piece can match the scale of the furniture you already own.
Ask questions – all our furniture is made to order, once production has started we cannot accept cancellations. If there is anything you are unsure of or need help/advise please ask a member of our team.
Follow all of the above to ensure a successful online buying experience.
I wouldn’t have thought to measure the doorways, space around the staircase, hallways, and lifts. I’m so glad that I haven’t gotten around to buying new furniture yet. That seems like it’ll definitely be helpful when I go shopping.
You made a good point to measure the doorways where your furniture will be passing through once you bring them home. It’s important to know the dimensions or the size of the furniture to ensure that they will fit the allotted space designated for them. This way, you wouldn’t have to worry about doing some rearranging once more. It would also prevent any damage to your furniture such as minor scratches. If I were to buy new furniture or home decor, I would definitely take this into account. Thanks.
I’m glad you talked about measuring the doorways and halls in your home to make sure whatever you buy will fit through them. My sister is looking to buy home decor online for some Christmas decorating. I think I will talk to her about checking the width of her door if she decides to buy anything big.
matching the colours is an awesome tip. Whenever i shop for furniture or interiors i hit the shop and buy stuff randomly. I dont match colours. Thanks for the tip.
