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

If you’re a first time home owner, then first of all, congratulations. Home ownership is a dream for many, and not everybody manages to make the dream come true. So, for starters, be glad that you’ve arrived at this juncture.

Secondly, you’ll probably want to look into getting homeowner insurance, or improving upon your existing policy, fairly soon. Insuring your home can be a tedious, difficult, headache-inducing process, but it doesn’t have to be that way. All you have to do is take a few moments to sit down and educate yourself on the ins and outs of home insurance.

What it boils down to is that every state has minimum requirements, and you might have specific needs yourself, or just insurance coverage you’d like to have to feel a little more secure in your home. However, if you don’t know exactly what you need, then the entire process can be incredibly difficult.

So, to boil the process down to its bare essentials, we’ll start with the basic home owner’s policy. This policy will generally protect against “eleven potential perils”.

These perils are…

-Fire or lightning
-Windstorm or hail
-Vandalism and malicious mischief
-Theft-Vehicle and aircraft damages
-Explosions, riot, and civil commotion
-Glass breakage
-Smoke
-Volcanic eruption
-Personal liability

Floods and earthquakes might also be listed depending on your location. It may seem a bit much. After all, how many people living in, say, Utah, have ever suffered damage from a volcanic eruption?

Nonetheless, this is what you’ll be covered for when you take out a basic policy. Now, home insurance isn’t mandatory in most areas, but, that doesn’t mean that it would be wise to skip it. You may never have a vehicle or aircraft crash into your home, but vandalism, theft and fire are all too common.

Personal liability is especially important. If someone, say, slips on the ice and breaks their ankle on your driveway, and they opt to sue you, you can either pay for that out of your own pocket, or let personal liability take care of those costs for you. In essence, home insurance is, like an umbrella, better to have and not need, than need and not have.

An extension can be a worthwhile addition to any home if you have the room to build it. It can also add value to your home if you are thinking of moving at some point in the future.

But you need to consider how to finance such an improvement as well. A secured or homeowner loan is generally the best option as it is secured on your current property. You can usually get a secured loan for a larger amount than an unsecured loan too, so it can make larger home improvements such as an extension much easier to manage.

Before agreeing to any kind of extension it is a good idea to get some quotes on how much the work will cost. This will depend on the size of the extension and whether it will be single or double storey. You can then get an idea of how much your secured loan will need to be for.

Finding out how much you can get a secured or homeowner loan for isn’t the only financial question you will need to ask either. You also need to take a look at your current personal finances to see whether you can accommodate the payments for such a loan. If you can’t you will need to rethink your monthly budget to make sure you can indeed apply for a homeowner loan successfully. The last thing you want is to get into trouble with your repayments and find you cannot afford them.

But if the sums work themselves out and you do get a loan, you will find that a new extension is within reach. It will involve a lot of upheaval while it is being built, but the end result will be worth it when you can enjoy your newly extended home.
