If what the realtor or ad described as “intimate” is really “too
small,” don’t panic. You too can have an awesome interior design for your home
without breaking the bank. All it takes is a bit of thought. This is important
because when you are squeezed tight with your square footage, you have nowhere
to hide. Any mistake in furniture choice or placement is plain to see. That’s
why Best Buy Furniture & Mattress is happy to share with you some free advice, recommended
by design pros and honed through years of our helping customers like you, to
prevent the most common mistakes new households make when laying out their home
furniture.
Go for Storage
Furniture in the Foyer
Some designers have recommended open shelving in a tiny entryway.
Well, guess what? They’re wrong! You see, piling your stuff on open shelves,
showcasing the mess, just doesn’t make sense. No, you want to hide any clutter.
A lovely accent cabinet will do the job wonderfully. Add some seasonal flowers
in a vase on top to complete your guest’s first impression of your awesome
design sense.
Don’t Be Afraid of
Laying Out a Big Rug
We understand the massive temptation to skimp on an accent rug
when filling a small space. The trouble is this makes the room seem even
smaller. No, this is a flaw you can easily hide. Once you’ve done your duty
with a tape measure and written down the room’s dimension, go for it with the biggest
rug you can find, maybe even defining the room’s motif with bold colors and/shapes
such as those inspired by abstract art. Let your imagination be your guide!
But Scale Down Your
Bed Size
While you may dream of resting on a majestic canopy bed in a
California king size, that will have to wait until you acquire more floor
space. Too big a bed is an eyesore and hogs the room. Consider a panel queen bed
with a low headboard or a trim Danish Modern-inspired model. You want about a yard
(3 feet, or a meter if you’re feeling European) of space separating your bed
from the walls in front and on the sides, just for room for you and a partner to
maneuver!
No matter how much you love your home decor, over time you
may get tired of looking at the same thing every day. That being said, we
understand that not every person has the necessary funds to redo a room every
time it starts to feel stale. If you have a room that needs an upgrade, but
buying new furniture is out of the question, then you may want to consider
purchasing a fresh set of home accents. With home accents and accessories, just
a little bit goes a long way. Learn more about these versatile home furnishings
and how they can enhance your house without exceeding your budget.
Transform Your Space with Room Dividers
Break up the monotony of any room with one of our fashionable room
dividers. These home accents can be used to partition studio apartments or
provide privacy in large, open rooms. Want to make a truly unique design
statement? By placing a room divider flush against one of your walls, it can
even serve as a piece of distinctive artwork. Our room dividers come in a
variety of diverse styles, including contemporary, traditional, and art deco.
No matter what your style of home décor, we can provide a wealth of options
perfectly suited for you.
Organize in Style with Accent Chests
People accumulate a lot of things throughout the years,
including pictures, antiques, souvenirs, and so much more. Without a proper
place to store your belongings, your treasured possessions can begin to look
like nothing more than clutter. With one of our accent chests, you can make
the most of your prized possessions and show them off to your guests in style.
Our accent chests provide ample storage and shelf space that can help bring
organization to any part of your home. They also feature elegant design
accents, like rustic wood finishes and glass inlay doors, making these home
furnishings the ultimate combination of form and function.
Liven Up a Room with Decorative Pillows
Do you have a sofa that is beginning to look old and worn
out? Do your accent chairs look bare and underwhelming? Allow our decorative pillows to bring color and life back into your old or outdated furniture
pieces. Our decorative pillows come in an assortment of stylish designs that
are guaranteed to add beauty to your living room, your family room, or even
