One of the hardest traps to be sure that we don’t end up falling into is the new theme for every room in the house trap. It’s pretty easy when you’re buying your Furniture Coffee Tables to say well, I know the rest of the house is all early American but this Leopard print Jungle them wouldn’t clash to much would it? I have seen houses where everything was high class south Florida pillars and columns then it looked like they shopped at a discount living room furniture store for their living room. Now mind you that the whole rest of the house looked like real money and then one room completely out of character.
Now, I’m not saying that eclectic cant work. It’s just that if that’s what you decide to do, then do it throughout the entire house. Don’t have one continuous theme running everywhere you look and then only one room is out of order, that really looks funny. Or have all your entire living room have one very set look and then your Furniture Bedroom Furniture are completely different. It will look as out of place as you riding a cow to a horse race.
One of the tricks you can do is when looking for new furniture bring along a photo album of all the furniture and decor of your home the way it is now. Then while shopping simply look at the pic’s you took and ask yourself, would this new piece your considering go well in any of the rooms of your current look? If the answer is no then move on and don’t waste any more time even considering it. There are plenty more pieces for you to look at and always another vendor who would love to sell you all you can afford to take home.
If on the other hand you do find a great piece that first is in your budget range. Oh yes, I forgot to mention never go shopping without a budget. You will soon find yourself over spending and likely not getting enough value for your money. Why? Because when you have a previously set budget then you tend to look harder for the better deals so that you can get more pieces within your budget limit. But when that one awesome piece finally grabs you and it meets with your checklist approval of, within budget, fits in with your existing themes in the photos of your home and really tickles your fancy then by all means buy away. There is a great feeling that goes with the acquisition of a new major piece of furniture. First you love to buy it. Second you really enjoy it being delivered and placing in your perfect spot. And lastly it warms you when friends come over and comment how nice they think your new pieces looks and how well it coordinates with the feel and flow of your home.
