How to Refresh Your Home with Second Hand Furniture Store Finds
Furniture shopping can be a daunting task. Whether you’re looking for a few pieces to update your living room or an entire set of furniture for a new home, it can be difficult to find the perfect pieces that fit your style and budget. Fortunately, second hand furniture stores are a great option for finding unique, affordable pieces that will help you refresh your home. Here are some tips on how to make the most of second hand furniture store finds.
Know What You’re Looking For
Before you start shopping, it’s important to have an idea of what kind of furniture you’re looking for. Consider the size and shape of the room you’re furnishing and what type of style you want to create. Do some research online or in magazines to get an idea of what kind of pieces will work best in your space. Once you have an idea of what you’re looking for, it will be easier to narrow down your search at the store.
Inspect Before You Buy
When shopping at second hand stores, it’s important to inspect each piece thoroughly before making a purchase. Look for signs of wear and tear such as scratches or dents that may not be visible at first glance. Make sure all drawers and doors open and close properly and check for any loose screws or hardware that may need to be replaced. If possible, bring along a tape measure so you can make sure the piece will fit in your space before buying it.
Choose Quality Pieces
When shopping at second hand stores, it can be tempting to buy anything that catches your eye. However, it’s important to take the time to choose quality pieces that will last for years to come. Look for solid wood construction with dovetail joints and avoid particle board or pressed wood furniture as these materials won’t stand up over time. If possible, try out the piece before buying it so you can make sure it is comfortable and sturdy enough for everyday use.
Second hand furniture stores are a great way to find unique pieces at an affordable price point. With these tips in mind, you can easily refresh your home with stylish finds from second hand stores without breaking the bank.
