Whether it be a house, apartment, bedroom or office, a new space is one of the most exciting things that can happen. The change of scenery, meeting new people, the possibilities of new experiences and furniture shopping is a very exciting process. Where do you start? Do you start by furnishing your space with those pieces you see on that online store? Do you take a quick trip down to that JMD Furniture store around the corner? The questions are endless, but furnishing your space is one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. The same way people take their time buying a new car, they shouldn’t rush to furnish their home. Shopping electronically doesn’t grant you the chance of physically testing a piece of furniture like you could at JMD Furniture.
It can seem overwhelming at times, but starting to furnish your space is something that’s fun and reflects your personality. As it is meant to be, enhancing the fun includes the exciting hassle of searching for those “to die for” pieces. Let’s be honest, those who furnish spaces admit that you’re never really done furnishing because it’s fun to decorate. Successfully choosing furniture considers decoration and aesthetics, comfort and building personal relationships with owners and staff of the stores.
Decorating and pleasing aesthetics
A key aspect of furniture shopping is the art of decorating and expression, achieved through physically interacting with the furniture. This allows the decorator to consider size, texture, color and fit among other pieces already existing in the space. Furnishing electronically doesn’t provide the shopper with the privilege to physically match the pieces of furniture to the aesthetic of the space. For example, shopping online risks the furniture not being the exact color or texture you might expect. Imagine the nightmare of receiving a large sofa, to go through the headache of returning it for not meeting your expectations.
Furniture must be comfortable
Another important piece of information to consider when purchasing furniture is the comfort level of the furniture you’ve purchased. Commonly, purchasing pieces like chairs, sofas, couches, dining sets and beds, JMD Furniture founder Dev Joshi allows testing before committing. Understanding all pieces aren’t created equal proves each one chosen by you must match your style, comfort, and overall needs. Many will even go as far as to say between identical models, one tends to be more comfortable than the other. Numerous times the experience of physically testing out products has been the deciding factor between one product over the other.
Build relationships with furniture stores
In the process of furnishing a space, establishing a long-term relationship with staff is an unfortunately underrated move. Creating that personal buyer and seller relationship is one that is only successfully done in person. This relationship allows you to relay your needs to the store staff, to keep you in mind for future stock. They might currently not stock your search, but if stocked or restocked, they can contact you to keep you updated. Store owners have even offered deeper discounts to consumers with established relationships with the company, which is only typically in-store.
Especially when furnishing a new home, it is advised to take the appropriate time to patiently and meticulously furnish the home. Furniture shopping in person is essential to decorating with furniture, testing comfort and building lasting relationships with the furniture stores. An owner like JMD Furniture founder Dev Joshi conveniently provided consumers with options of 7 locations, so there are no excuses.
