Tips on Buying Furniture Online
Hi guys,
So just after our wedding, I and my husband shifted to a new place near to his office and it was an unfurnished rented place. We had to buy all the necessary furniture and here is how we did it:
1. Jot down the necessary furniture items
Start with noting down what all you need, like for a house with 2 people, the basic furniture you would need is a sofa,center table,TV unit,bed and a wardrobe. You may need more cupboards/storage drawers if you have more stuff. Also, a dressing table can be skipped if the wardrobe has a mirror. A dining table can be skipped as it would also occupy too much space. Buy a center table and bed which has storage inside.
2. Budget
Keep a budget in mind for each and every item and/or the combined total i.e. how much maximum would you prefer spending on furniture. Also, if a house is rented, does not make sense to invest in a lot of furniture, but if you have your own house, then of course, it makes sense to allot a higher budget.
3. Quality
If you are buying some few key pieces, make sure that you get good quality and it lasts you a long time. Cheap stuff may sound alluring at first but will hardly last you an year or so, and then you have to keep on re-purchasing new stuff every year. Rather invest in good quality,durable furniture.
4. Design & Style
You will find 100’s of designs out there, also when you buy online, you get confused looking at so many options. For e.g. In a sofa, there is 3+ 2 seats and there is an L shaped combined one. Keep the corners of your house in mind,measure the area and then suitably select something which will look the best. Even after the design is shortlisted, there are different patterns, different materials,etc. to choose from. Go for something which is durable. Avoid whites if the furniture is going to be used a lot since it will be dirty quite soon and end up looking muddy and lose its charm, though whites are classic and difficult to say NO to, but keep all the factors in mind.
There are a lot of websites which sell furniture online, but buy from someone you trust or have purchased before from. I would say, try buying 1-2 small things at first and get to know the site,delivery,quality,returns,etc., before purchasing everything at once.
Once you find a correct,trustworthy site, then just place your order and your life is simple! Durian offers free delivery and free assembly, easy EMI options and 5 year warranty! Also, 90% of the stuff is made in India. I have often been to Durian stores and my family has purchased quite a lot of stuff from Durian since the time of its inception. I know how reliable,sturdy and trustworthy Durian furniture is.
Now you can get Durian online http://www.durian.in/, it’s #JustAClickAway 🙂
