Although you might have a sentimental attachment to a particular piece of furniture or décor to incorporate into your new home’s design, you should also take the opportunity to choose things together to suit both of your tastes.
Let’s just face it – designing a new luxury living room is just a fun project to help you stretch out those honeymoon vibes. Of course, after the expense of a wedding and travel, you probably don’t have a large budget for new home furniture. That’s okay because there are a lot of great ways to save on living room furniture.
Before you get too involved in setting a budget, sit down with your new spouse and make a plan together for designing the living room. Once you know exactly what furniture pieces of what sizes will fit in your interior design plan, you can start shopping for the most affordable options that work with your vision.
Agree on an interior design period and style
The decision to design a luxury living room isn’t the final decision by far. In fact, you can get luxury furniture in modern, industrial, or traditional styles. You will need to decide if you want to go for modern sophistication, a stark industrial look with sharp lines, or furniture that reminds you of the traditional styles of eras gone by.
Agree on colours
This can be a point of contention, but it is easier to make compromises than you might think. Just like the Tudor rose, you can choose a design of complementary colours that signifies your union. Today’s living room sets furniture is not always identical in upholstery, colours, or patterns. Choose living room sets furniture that features both of your favourite colours. You can also work those colours into the rest of the room’s décor and wall art to create one unified room.
Not sure what works together? Go to your local hardware store and play in the paint chip section to get an idea of what you really like and which will work well together.
Get the best deals
After the expense of the wedding and honeymoon, you need to keep the furnishing of your new home down to a minimum. Shopping online at furniture stores can be the best way to do that. You can get luxury living room furnishings and décor without breaking the bank. Best of all, you can go through a wide variety of furniture with your spouse, extending the fun of decorating your new home.
Shopping online doesn’t just give you the widest selection, it also gives you lower prices than your local furniture store. With rising gas prices you’re going to pay more as the furniture moves through the supply chain. By ordering online, you cut out a lot of the middlemen and you’re able to get a better price by having it shipped straight to your door.
In addition, online furniture stores often offer free delivery to your door, with discounts on white glove services (performed by local providers). When you shop at your local furniture store, the additional costs of delivery – manpower, vehicle maintenance, and fuel – are passed on to you as a delivery fee. This is rarely waved because the store owner must be able to cover those costs.
