Why Investing In Quality Furniture Will Save You Money Long-Term
Are you ready to upgrade your furniture and create the look and feel you’ve always wanted in your home, but you’re worried about the cost? Investing in quality furniture doesn’t have to break the bank. By investing a bit more upfront in quality furniture, you’ll make a sound investment that will save you money in the long run.
The key pieces you should consider investing in are sofas and chairs. The structure of the frame of the sofas and chairs should be of hardwood and have an eight-way hand-tied spring system to provide even support all over. The foam should also be of premium quality with a density of 26 to provide the most support and lasts a long time.
Let us not forget the dining chairs. They need to provide the proper support for the back, and the legs are at a 90-degree angle. The back of the chair should be designed to support the curve of your back and make your dining experience comfortable and enjoyable.
When you buy furniture from online retailers like Wayfair, you get mass-produced furniture. This means the quality is not high and will break or come damaged. When that happens, companies will ask you to dispose of the product instead of sending it back because they do not want to incur the cost to ship it back to them is too high; and also because there is no system to repair the damages and these products end up in landfills. The EPA estimates that nine million tons of furniture end up in landfills every year. And these pieces are new, as mentioned above. Most of these pieces take a long time to decompose because of the treatments these pieces undergo to be shipped from overseas. Quality control is minimal.
Furniture at your local furniture store may replace it for you or repair it if it is minor damage. But they sell in sets, which is not the ideal situation. The style and selections are limited to what is available in their store or warehouses. They are priced to lure you into buying a whole rooms worth of furniture for a deal that may seem attractive, but it does not provide any creativity.
When you invest in hiring an interior designer, you are investing in your home. Your designer will make their resources available to you as their client and provide a design customized to you as their client to reflect your personality and style. Not only will your home be a reflection of you, but it will also be functional to serve you and your lifestyle.
