So you’ve bought your first home – now what? You very well can’t sleep on the hardwood floors you just paid for using a substantial down payment, but you also have to keep an eye on your furniture budget. However, you don’t have to sacrifice quality simply because you don’t have a massive budget. Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana is here with some tips on how to personalize your brand new home without the dread or anxiety.

Establish Your Style
Before you even take out your checkbook, think about the style of home you’d like to have. Do you lean more toward sleek and modern styles that have sleek lines and urban vibes? Or do you want to emulate a more traditional style that have a timeless look and remind you of when you were growing up? Having an idea of your style will help you and your sales rep choose furniture that suits your new look.

Neutrals for Large Pieces
Yes, a sectional sofa with a large pattern may be Pinterest-worth, but it’s hard to match and decorate with that as the centerpiece. Think neutral when choosing big pieces such as sofas and tables. You can always replace accent pieces pillows, wall art, or other décor, but replacing these pig pieces is a heavy investment.

Shop Clearance
There’s nothing wrong with pursuing the clearance section, especially at Home Furniture. Sometimes you can find the perfect bed frame or recliner for a discounted price. These pieces will have your empty house feeling like a real home.

Prioritize High-Traffic Rooms
Don’t blow your budget on the spare bedroom closet. Make sure you account for furniture that will have the most use in your home. If you know you’re going to watch a lot of Netflix on a comfy couch, make sure you let your sales rep know that’s a piece you’ll need first and foremost. Be realistic with how you spend your time and what your budget is.

Furnish Your First Home With Home Furniture Plus Bedding
Buying your first home is super exciting, but it does come with a few stressors. Let our furniture selection and complete delivery with set up will put your mind at ease when it comes to filling your brand new home.

You walk into your office and there’s a desk with your big bulky monitor on top. The setup doesn’t exactly motivate you to hit the ground running, so how can you spice up your space without breaking the bank? Little accents go a long way. Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana is here with the top 5 ways to add a little flare to your workspace.

Add Some Pictures
There’s nothing like a sweet family photo or an inspirational quote to remind you throughout the day of your goals. Grab a set of matching frames that contain photos of your kids, your spouse, or even your pup. Whatever or whoever inspires you day-to-day should be showcased and displayed in a frame you love.

Add A Bookcase
Whether its books about how to increase sales, how to deal with a boss you don’t agree with, or a book with all of your favorite quotes from episodes of Seinfeld, a bookcase that holds all your paperback treasures is a perfect way to add some comfort to your office.

Frivolous Décor
It might sound silly, but adding a bulletin board, a framed map, or even a bowl of brightly colored Post-it notes can liven up your desk and office. These little treasures show off your personality and can also serve as a convenient place for fun office supplies. If you don’t know which items may go together, our showrooms have plenty of spaces setup for your reference.

Accent Lamps
Being under fluorescent lighting for eight or more hours at a time can make the day seem to go on forever. An accent lamp can do wonders for when you have to type up a strategic brief or have to eat lunch at your desk. When there’s no windows in your office, a little soft light can do wonders for your mood.

Rugs
Adding a small rug to your office can serve many purposes. Adding some color to your brown carpeted cubicle can brighten your space and show off your personality. If you work in an office where you can hear a pin drop, a small rug will help absorb the noise.

When you wind down at the end of a hard day and are ready to lay your head down, it’s nice to have an oasis of comfort that also matches your overall style. It’s easy to furnish the community spaces and ensure the kiddos have a perfect place to lay their heads, but creating a retreat space that’s just for you makes the perfect getaway right in your own home. Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving Louisiana and East Texas has some ideas to help you design a majestic master bedroom.

Add A Mirror to Your Master Bedroom
Mirrors are an excellent way to bounce light around the room and a way to make it feel more spacious. You can add a full-length mirror in the corner that’s perfect for that last outfit look before heading to work.

 Symmetry For the Master Bedroom
The easiest way to achieve a symmetrical look is to buy a bedroom set. Whether that’s just matching nightstands or even a 5-piece set, having items in the room that all go with one another will give your master area the grown-up and stylish feel that fits you best.

Add Accessories to Your Master Bedroom
Adding a few accessories like throw pillows add that simple touch of style to make the room homey and inviting. Accessories such as lamps can add a little pop of color during the day and add ample reading light when winding down before bed. Curtains tie the room together and can be a neutral point or pop of color depending on your aesthetic choices.

 Master Bedroom Storage
You don’t want your room to be overwhelmed with giant pieces throughout, so it’s important to make the best use of storage. For your everyday clothes, we suggest a nice dresser that will keep you organized and keep your clothes out of sight. For storing your knick-knacks, chargers, books, and other small items, look for a matching nightstand set. This gives you easy bedside access without having too much clutter. For displaying pictures, mementos, or decorative accents, we’d add a bookshelf to the corner. This way not too much space is taken up, but you have a versatile piece to place your appealing belongings.

When making a furniture purchase, there are many things to consider. Comfort, size, storage, use, and most of all, color. Furniture pieces are often the center of any room, and they make a statement. Whether that’s neutral, patterned, bright, dark, or any combination of these, you want to ensure that your furniture works for your overall style and aesthetic. Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving Louisiana and East Texas is here with a few tips on colors to consider when buying furniture.

Consider Lighting Colors

Lighting is one of the number-one things to consider before making a furniture purchase. How a piece looks online or even in the store could be very different depending on the lighting of the room. If you choose a dark piece that’s well-lit on the store floor, but the room in your home has one overhead light, don’t expect the piece to have the same look. If the room you’re working with has a lot of natural light all day, you can play with more bright colors. If you choose a dark piece, you don’t have to worry about bringing down the mood of the entire space.

Decorate from Dark to Light Vertically

Keep in mind when buying a piece that in order to keep your room looking large and spacious, you’ll want to use darker colors closer to the floor. Your space should replicate the outside world. Keep this in mind when buying your large statement pieces so you can accent or even paint properly.

Grays for Days

Gray-colored furniture is a great option when wanting a neutral place to start. Gray works for any style making it the perfect chameleon for pairing with bold patterns and bright accents. It compliments both warm and cool color palates, so you won’t have to worry about it being a seasonal piece.

60-30-10 Rule

When it comes to decorating a space, many people implement the 60-30-10 rule. 60% of your décor should be a dominant color, like your walls. 30% of the room is your secondary color and includes things like upholstery. The last 10% represents your accent color for accessories, throws, and other miscellaneous items. This creates a sense of balance without being boring nor boisterous with your décor.
