7 Vital Furniture for Home-Starters7 Vital Furniture for Home-StartersWow! You have just bought/rented a new house and you are now left with the job of furnishing, you have probably promised your self a new car or an impressive home theatre set immediately after you get that house…but the task of décor shouldn't be rushed into without appropriate planning. Here is a list of must buy items for starters.
1) A Great Bed
A wonderful bed may be the most important purchase you make when starting out. You'll have your bed for ten years or more so choose carefully. If you just have to get something immediately, you can get an inflatable bed or just a mattress until you can spend more time making a wise decision. You can use it later for guests. When shopping for beds look for the size, comfort, durability, and features that appeal to you.
2) A Dining Table
Traditional dining tables are rectangular or round, though you may prefer square, octagonal, or oval. Choose an expandable table for versatility and get a size that will fit your dining space.
3) Dining Chairs
Select dining chairs for comfort and style. An all-wood style is classic, yet cushioned, upholstered, and slip-covered chairs may offer more comfortable seating. Arm chairs are a good choice for gracious dining. Get chairs that fit easily under the table's edge.
4) A Fabulous Sofa
There are different ranges to choose from; most commonly… cast iron, leather, and cushion. It is important to buy from the inside out. First select a solid frame and then choose a long lasting fabric that will be durable for years.
5) A Versatile Chest of Drawers
Get the most from your furniture budget by choosing pieces that are classic and versatile. A chest of drawers can work in nearly any room and adapt to any storage use from clothing to CDs or books and office supplies.
6) Nesting Tables
Invest in a set of attractive nesting tables. Use them in a living room as a side table or coffee table. Put them next to a bed for a useful nightstand. Separate the pieces to use in different rooms or nest them together for a space-saving solution. Wood tables can be detailed or sleek while metal and glass tables offer a contemporary look.
7) Lighting
Get light where you need it with table and floor lamps. Consider pairs of lamps that can be used together or apart. Lampshades made of fabric may offer more light than types made of metal or opaque materials that send light either up or down only. Inexpensive metal cans, also called up-lights, are a great addition to corners. Be aware of the bulb size requirements for your lamps and shades.
