The shopping is your friend if you’re making your new home look great but within your budget. There are, luckily, several sources that sell you decent quality furniture for the price.
IKEA has affordable furniture that is easy to put together at competitive prices with flexible payment plans. 2Modern has chic modern pieces at unbelievable prices with their sale section even bigger savings.
IKEA
IKEA furniture is loved by consumers everywhere because it’s cheap and the designs are easy to use and functional. Additionally, it comes in flat-packed packaging which both saves money on shipping and storage.
IKEA was founded by Ingvar Kamprad to be affordable yet still quality made, so that his clients could have quality-designed items from a diverse range of options at their modest cost. They do this at low prices through direct factory supply and with low overheads.
IKEA furniture is cheap but short-lived. Made of a lot of particle board, often self-assembled, its short life is good for a student’s or a landlord’s temporary furnishing needs because it can slide through narrow doors and stairways in older structures where more traditional pieces wouldn’t. Unfortunately it might be short of what homeowners are asking for in pieces.
Wayfair
Wayfair is a huge furniture and decor online store. Their huge list of suppliers means they can provide the best price; they use a marketplace approach and eliminate middlemen costs so they are able to save directly from the suppliers; they even buy bulk which lowers prices further.
You can even get open box items – stuff from other customers that they sent back intact for a discount. You can be able to get these bargains cheaper than with other products but always read reviews before you buy.
Wayfair not only sells things — they give you decorating ideas as well! They have photos on their website of rooms already decorated and how to put pieces together. You can make idea boards and share them with your friends for future collaboration so that shoppers will not have to look hard for furniture based on their requirements at home.
Amazon
Amazon is a famous website that sells high quality but cheap furniture, from comfy couches to cool coffee tables. The Furniture Shop has an online store, so there is no need to deal with pushy salesman, you can buy it hassle-free right at home!
But be aware that some parts need putting together. There are times when you may need the help of friends or parents with handy skills to put together beds, end tables, or sofas – but it might be worth it if you find exactly what you need for a great price!
Existing furniture stores will never be able to catch up with Amazon, but their technology could become their selling point. The old stores, for example, would be able to get to know their customer habits and tailor suggestions to suit; improving retention while providing space for smaller shops who can’t afford floor space in the big chains.
Etsy
If you are interested in buying furniture by independent artists and artisans, Etsy is the best place to do so. Filter items by category or search the site to find one; the site also lists assortments from different sellers; most of the products include photos, buyer feedback and shipping details – pay with credit card or Klarna payment method.
Small family-owned Etsy shops are usually some of the best sellers on Etsy because they work hard and are great craftspeople. As Etsy trends expert Dayna Isom Johnson points out, more people are shopping for special pieces.
