3 Things You Need to Know Before Furnishing a New Home

Moving into a new home is exciting and can be a little scary at the same time. You want your home to look good, but where do you start? What pieces of furniture do you need to have? What color will look best? Here at Cleo’s Furniture we’ve got you covered. We’ve had many people come in at all of our 15 locations and ask ‘where do I start?’ We’re going to tell you three tips that will help you before you start buying pieces of furniture for your new home. 

One at a Time 

The first thing you probably want to do once you move into your new home is pick out a sectional for the living room, get a new bedroom set for your master bedroom, and the decor to make each room its own. Well, we are here to tell you, you don’t have to do it all at once. You can overwhelm yourself and get a little frustrated trying to do it all at once. We suggest you take it one room at a time- starting with your living room. Pick the first piece of furniture that is most important to you. Do you pick the Challenger Elton Graphite 3 Piece Sectional or London Dove Loveseat?

After you’ve got the major pieces for your living room you can move onto the bedrooms and then the decor pieces such as art pieces or mirrors. 

Color Schemes 

Everyone thinks when you buy furniture, you have to match everything. That’s not true! It’s ok to have a red sofa, black coffee table, an accent chair like and a brown side table. You can always make furniture pieces come together. If you’ve got the vision, you can execute it. If you’re thinking “no, that’s not right, I have to have it matching.” We’ve got some advice for you as well. Pick your colors, but also get the colors that compliment the colors that you’ve picked. If you’ve got a dark gray theme going on, you can definitely pair it with a medium color gray piece of furniture. 

Inspiration: Homeowners 

If you don’t know what you’re wanting, get some inspiration! You can view what other homeowners are doing, or ask them where they started when furnishing their home. Pinterest does wonders!
