Finding the perfect piece of furniture for your home can be difficult. However, when you find that one sectional or dining table that calls to you, it’s hard to resist, even with a hefty price tag. But that shouldn’t stop you if the item is high-quality and sure to last you for years. Would you rather pay more for a sturdy, good quality table now or buy a cheaper one that breaks in a few months? While considering your furniture shopping budget, here are the pieces you should think about investing in.

Chairs

A well crafted and comfortable chair is something you can take with your from house to house. The key to investing in the right furniture pieces for the long haul is to pick a chair (just one or an entire set) that’s neutral and can evolve with your style over time. Try to avoid overly popular designs that are cute in the moments, but won’t work out over time, whether it’s because they’re a bright colour or are made of a hard to clean material.

Drawer Sets

A chest of drawers can be utilized in several different rooms, including the bathroom, a closet and living space. It’s both a means for adding storage space as well as a decorative piece that’s available in unlimited styling options. You’re sure to find a drawer set that fits your needs and aesthetic, one that you can carry with you through the years.

Dining Tables

As formal dining rooms are used for special occasions more than anything else, to get the most use of the table it’s important to buy a multi-purpose one. Having a table that you can eat at, as well as work from and entertain with, will allow you to get your money’s worth. Consider getting a table that’s durable, with a design that truly matches your style and decor rather than something you kind of like, as you’ll be stuck with it for years to come.

Beds

Whether it’s an intricately detailed and high-quality headboard or an entire bed frame, investing in a sturdy bed will be well worth the money. Just keep in mind the size of your mattress, your current room and the height and bulkiness of the bed. Buy furniture that fits into the room, with proportions that won’t seem too small or too large.

Sofas

Sofas can get expensive, which is why it’s important to buy a good quality one that will last you a while. Couches made with durable material, that are easy to clean and feel comfortable in any position are the ones worth investing hundreds or thousands of dollars into. It’s also important to choose a pattern that isn’t too busy for this long-term investment, as you may get tired of it pretty quickly.
