The 10 commandments when buying secondhand furniture Posted: 09 Jan 2020 08:44 PM PST Article by Amazing Interior Design Ideas When you see a secondhand item and you are just not sure if you should purchase it or take it (if it’s free), consider the commandments below to help you with your decision. Thou Shalt Look for Tags – Look for a tag by looking underneath the item. If the tag says IKEA it is best to leave it. Since Items from IKEA are best used by one user. One the other hand if it is a good furniture brand, you should consider investing in it. Honor Thy Lines – You need to look at the furniture's frame and not at the not so clean fabric. If the lines are good and what you are looking for, it is a good investment. Thou Shalt Not Worship False Furniture – If you are not concerned about where it was built or the brand, look at the quality of the construction. What type of wood has been used? Has it been nailed or held with hardware? Etc. 4. Thou Shalt Sit On It – You need to make sure your furniture is comfortable, therefore you should sit on it. Thou Shalt Examine Any Cushions – Since foam is expensive, take the cushion covers off and have a good look at the foam. The foam should be firm and not hard as rock or crumbly. Be Not Afraid of Simple Fixes – A few scratches on a coffee table are not a problem. Thou Shalt Not Kill Strong Odors and Pests (Easily) – Getting bed bugs or strong odors off furnishing is not easy and therefore you should think twice on such a purchase. Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness to Your Wallet – Even if the item is cheap, include the price of getting it re-done into the cost. Thou Shalt Not Covet – Do you have the space for this item and is it necessary. Remember Your Day of Rest – Include the cost and effort of getting a moving company to move the furniture |
How to choose a lamp for any room? Posted: 13 Dec 2019 08:23 PM PST Article by Biz Site Biz Since choosing a lamp is not something you often do, it can sometimes be a daunting task when there are so many options on offer. Here are a few tips on how to choose a lamp for any room. Living room – Look for options like floor lamps, table lamps, and accent lighting. Start off by choosing floor lamps for your main form of ambient light. If you have art or photos on the wall, you can look at accent lighting like wall sconces or spotlights. Ensure you don't obstruct the line of sight between seats. Bedroom – Look for options like floor lamps and table lamps. If you don't have overhead lighting, floor lamps are a great way to provide overall lighting for a bedroom. Bedside lamps are a great way to add soft lighting to a bedroom but remember not to overwhelm your night stand with your lamp. Use accent colors to compliment the bedroom and avoid blending. Dining room – Look for options like buffet lamps, accent lighting, chandeliers and pendant lights. To add extra light to a dining room consider adding a couple of buffet lamps on either side of your dining space. Look at blending colors and avoid making your lamps the focal point of the room. Your main focus should be the meal on the table and the company around it. Remember that if your lighting is too low from the table, it will be a distraction to those seating at the table. |
