5 Must-Know Steps For Furnishing Your New Home
Before furnishing your new Hopewell home, set a budget, evaluate your existing furniture, study your floorplans, visit the space if possible, and shop for new pieces with a focus on cost-effective options, while the Benning showhome in Hotchkiss offers additional tips and inspiration.
While you're dreaming up your new home - there are a few things you should consider before furnishing it.
- Determine a Budget: Allocate and budget for furniture up-front - this will determine your needs vs. wants and where to shop within your price range.
- Consider Your Existing Furniture: Take measurements and photos of your current furniture - it could offer a short or long-term, cost-effective solution for furnishing your new home.
- Study Your Floorplans: All Hopewell floorplans are available through our website, making it easier than ever to get familiar with the layout of your desired model. Print your floorplan and use a pencil to try furniture arrangements with your existing furniture and any new items you will purchase.
- Plan a Site Visit: If available, visit your new space or the showhome with a tape measurer, notepad and pen prior-to making any big purchases. Bring your furniture layout ideas and current furniture measurements to ensure your current furnishings will fit and allocate space for new pieces.
- Purchase Your New Furniture: Last but not least! Have your floorplans nearby and begin the hunt for new furnishings within your budget. Cost-effective tip: Thrift shops, garage sales and online used-markets are great solutions for finding unique pieces that are authentically upcycled, and often under-budget.
