If you’re just setting up your first home, furnishing it can be a daunting task. First-time homebuyers can be overwhelmed by the choice and variety that each store offers. With so many options, it’s hard to know where to begin, and it’s rather easy to get lost and end up picking furniture that doesn’t fit the space or just isn’t right for you. That’s why we’ve made a list of 5 must-have furniture pieces that you can start shopping for. Read on to know more.
A Comfortable, Durable Bed
Choosing a new bed is no small task for most people. Why? Because you’ll probably spend about 1/3 of every day in it for 10 years or more. So it makes sense to get the best quality one you can afford. Keep in mind that the most expensive bed may not be the best.
A Dining Table
Most dining tables are rectangular or circular, but you should take the size of the room into account when buying this piece of furniture, regardless of which shape you opt for. If you have a small family or live by yourself, consider getting an extendable table. That way, your dining area won’t look overly cluttered but you’ll still be able to eat with all your guests when needed.
Great Sofa
Sofas come in different styles, shapes, costs, and fabrics – pick one that you can afford. Besides your bed, this is one of the most important pieces of furniture. Don’t settle for anything less than a good-quality wood frame with 8-way hand-tied springs. Make sure that the fabric is durable, too. Get some accent cushions to add visual appeal.
A Chest of Drawers
There are just so many uses for this piece of furniture. You can keep it in your bathroom for supplies, in the living room to store books and CDs, or in your bedroom to place clothes. Ideally, you should select a piece that’s versatile and classic, so you can move it around the house and use it in different rooms.
An Ottoman
Ottomans are so versatile – you can use them as a footrest or a coffee table. Just buy a pair that goes with the color of your sofas.
