Are you getting ready to purchase new furniture for your home? Are you looking at living room, bedroom or dining room furniture? Regardless of what room you’re furnishing, the process is similar to buying a car – there are so many styles, colours and choices that it can take some time to find the perfect pick. The key is to be a savvy shopper…but do you know what mistakes commonly occur when buying furniture? Check out these 10 mistakes to avoid when purchasing furniture!

1. Forgetting To Measure What’s worse than having your new furniture delivered to your home to only find out it won’t fit inside? Too often people will forget to measure rooms, doorways, hallways, stairs and even elevators which turns into a trip back to the furniture store. Before you head out to the store, take measurements of everything including windows! You want to make sure you have enough clearance in your home to accommodate the new furniture.

The last and foremost best way to save at Surplus Furniture is to take advantage of the weekly and monthly sales that are going on. Let me start by telling you the definition of sales. Sales is defined as a rapid disposal of goods are reduced prices for a period. The thing with sales are they are never forever. They come and they go. You definitely do not want to miss out on a sale. Sales = Savings. It's a no brain-er. For example we are currently running out 5pc Package event. For any 2pc living room set you get you will get a chance to get a free 3pc table set. Now the catch to this is supplies are very limited. Once supplies are gone no free tables will be offered. Why miss out on getting yourself some free items. So next time you are in Surplus Furniture remember the sale you see now, might not be the same sale offered next time you come back. Why miss out!

An area rug can be a room’s most definitive and stylish decorative item. Depending on its size, shape, and colour, an area rug can change the entire look and tone of a room, or establish an elevated sense of cohesion among furniture. It’s for this reason that homeowners continue to turn to the area rug when decorating a home’s interior. While area rugs are staples of home décor, some homeowners may be unsure of how to best protect and preserve their rugs. To extend the longevity of your area rug, it’s essential to be diligent about regular care and upkeep. The quality of an area rug can quickly diminish as a result of foot traffic, sunlight exposure, dust, dirt, and stains if adequate care isn’t given.
