You always ask, looking for references and conduct a survey into the store when you want to buy a mobile phone, computer and electronic equipment. Are you doing the same thing when buying furniture more expensive and you use it for a long time?
We try to summarize from several sources to describe some common mistakes made or unconsciously we do in buying furniture. Here are a few mistakes, tips and ways to avoid it.
Lack of Preparation
Often when furniture shopping, we left without any consideration: what we liked, what long-term plans, even the simplest: how the size and shape of the room to place furniture. Before you shop, plan in advance the image and the size of the room. Search for references from design magazines, if there is a match, scissors and take as a reference. Take also the example of paint the room. If you use carpet or wallpaper, also include an example.
Not Considering Scale
Shop / Megastores can make you be deceived by the scale of proportion. A furniture would look very nice and perfect in a store that size for the soccer field, but would look very odd when placed in your room is minimal. When shopping, make sure you bring a small tape measure in a wallet or use common objects as a standard measure, such as tiles.
Not trying Furniture Purchased
Never buy seating without testing it out. This sentence should be kept in mind in buying furniture. Often we are interested in the offer form. And furniture created for comfort, not just to entertain the eye. Try to sit and feel – if necessary try to read books.
Too Quick Purchase
Each ingredient furniture will look different when highlighted with a different light. Before you decide to buy, take home first sample of material. Match the condition of the room and adjust the color of the walls and other furniture in the room.
Purchase Because Stimulated Emotions
Your heart will be screaming “I want” when she saw a furniture sold at 50% discount. But try to think more before you buy. If the furniture was not in accordance with the size of the room, the atmosphere, or color, then you have wasted 50% of which must be issued. Wise, do not buy furniture 2 days before you need it. Buying furniture takes a long time, do not be hasty, give you the opportunity to look around and have a comparison.
Too Much Input
The more feedback you get, the harder you decide. Everyone has different tastes. Do not invite too many people in buying furniture, limit the input from my friends / family that you believe that he was one with your taste
Refusing Help
Ask the sales to find furniture-furniture that you want more details. Although sometimes there is a salesman who deliberately exaggerate the advantages of a product, but basically the theory is that they give the product knowledge you need to know.
Shopping at End Sunday
If you need a salesman to assist and provide information to you, shop on a weekday (not on weekends). Since the end of the week is the busiest day for them, and the considerations that had to be given inaccurate.
Forgot Login Calculating Size or Lift
Most sellers accept the exchange of goods because the furniture has been purchased can not enter the front door, stairs or elevator. First measure of each access to be passed into furniture (Do not force the window as an alternative).
Excess Pay
One of the products that often offer special rates is furniture. Generally, there is often a promo or discount on major holidays. Try to visit the shopping malls in particular for furniture products, or wait for furniture exhibitions. Particularly in Indonesia, in an average year there are 11 exhibition furniture. Take advantage of these moments to get a good price
