Tips for Furnishing Your First Home

By Simone Design Blog @HomeSpire

If you’re buying your own home or renting without furnishings for the first time, buying and moving your own furniture can seem like an impossible task – with so many rooms it can be difficult to know what you need or where to start. Here are some tips to help make this task seem much more manageable, so you’ll feel at home in no time.

Small Mementos

Make sure to have a few little bits to put around your home straight away, which will put your mark on it and make you feel like it’s yours. It’s also really good to have your favorite scented candle ready as a familiar and comforting scent will help you feel at home and ease the stresses of moving.  Lighting a match in a room and blowing it out is also a really useful trick to get rid of any mustiness or odd smells.

Furniture Packages

A furniture package is a great choice as it takes all of the hassle out of visiting different retailers for different rooms or items of furniture. You can get usually choose between packages that are of different design styles, so you can still feel like you’ve put your mark on your home rather than feeling like someone else is choosing your furniture for you. You can also get different sized packages to suit your requirements depending on things like how many bedrooms you have and how big your rooms are – make sure to check all measurements before you buy as you don’t want to overpower a space or leave it too empty. Some furniture companies even offer design visits by an in house interior design specialist to help you build the right tailored package for your new home.

Moving can be a stressful time, so choosing a furniture package rather than hunting out pieces individually will allow you to relax in the knowledge that it’s all sorted and your beautiful new home will be fully furnished in no time. It can also potentially help cut down on the cost of movers or even allow you to move yourself – without bulky and heavy furniture to transport the process is a lot smoother and easier. For a great choice of packages, why not have look at David Phillips Furniture – they even have next day delivery so you won’t be stuck sitting on the floor!
