Whether you are renting or purchasing your first home, moving into your first place is an exciting time in life! You can finally choose your own Atlanta furniture, decorate your walls and countertops with personal items, and make that house a true home. Here are a few tips on making the space work for you without breaking the bank. Furniture Choices It is a good idea to start by choosing your furniture. You want to pick the big items that will fill the rooms with functional pieces that reflect your personal style. Whether you buy new or used, be sure that you choose furniture that is comfortable and functional and fits into the space you have available. Tips for Furniture Shopping First, measure your space. You can even draw a basic map of each room showing where you want to place each item: couch, chair, table, bookshelf, etc. Write the exact measurements on your map and refer to it frequently when shopping. Save money on furniture delivery by enlisting the help of a friend with a larger vehicle or truck. If this is not an option for you, consider the cost of renting a trailer or small truck and compare the cost to the price that the furniture store provides for their delivery service. Outfitting a Smaller Space Tiny living is a huge movement, and while people may be deciding that they need less space to live in, it’s important to choose furniture that fits properly in that space. A couple of things that you need to keep in mind are multi-functional furniture pieces and space saving options. An example of a multi-functional furniture choice is a couch that folds out into a bed. A hide-a-bed can function as a space for guests to sleep if you do not have an extra room. In a really small space, you can choose to use this option for your own bed, but be sure to test the comfort of a hide-a-bed before you decide that you can sleep on it every night! Space saving furniture may include a table with drop leaves that can fold smaller when you do not need all the space for eating, and open up for hosting dinner parties. Shop Atlanta furniture stores carefully to choose the best options for your small space to ensure that each piece functions exactly the way you need it to in your first home.
