Top 3 Things To Consider Before Buying Furniture

Before you say ‘out with the old, and in with the new’ there are a few things our interior design team here at Augustus & Carolina want you to know. Whether you’re furnishing an entire home, or just need something new for the living room, we’re confident you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for in our 65,000 square foot furniture showroom. Before you start shopping, here are some things to consider. 

Functionality

Do you have kids? Pets that love to lounge on furniture? It’s important to ask yourself these questions before you start shopping so you can find pieces that can withstand your lifestyle. There’s nothing worse than purchasing furniture only for it to deteriorate after a few months. 

Materials

Once you’ve come to terms with how rough you are on furniture, it’s important to opt for reliable materials instead of just picking something based on looks. Our team of interior designers can steer you in the right direction! 

Size + Shape

Depending on the room and style you’re trying to achieve, it’s important to not only focus on the color and materials of the piece, but the size and shape of it too! For example, choosing an oversized comfy sectional is great for lounging, yet might not be the best choice if you’re going for a sleek modern look. 

While there are still things you should consider before purchasing, these are our top three things you need to consider. We know furniture shopping is a fun and exciting process, yet can also be stressful when having to make tough choices. Our team here at Augustus & Carolina is dedicated to helping you fill your home with the perfect piece of furniture that you can enjoy for many years to come!
