Briefly describe the advantages of choosing furniture before decoration
September 22 04:25:16, 2025
The new decoration model promoted by many interior design companies and professionals—“choose furniture first, then decorateâ€â€”has effectively addressed several common challenges in home renovation. This approach doesn’t mean waiting to buy furniture after the renovation is complete. Instead, it involves setting the style, color, size, and budget of your furniture before starting the design process. Then, the designer can tailor Other elements such as wall colors, **floor** patterns, tile arrangements, and more based on your selected furniture.
What are the benefits of this method?
**Helps to Accurately Grasp the Style**
Most homeowners lack experience in interior design and often have only a vague idea of what they want. Many rely on information from magazines, the internet, or friends’ homes, and they usually only provide a floor plan when discussing with designers. This leads to miscommunication, where designers may not fully understand your preferences and end up sticking to their own style or even copying previous projects.
By choosing furniture first, you can take the designer to see your preferred pieces and explain their sizes. This allows the designer to better understand your taste and integrate the furniture into the overall design, ensuring a cohesive look throughout the space. The designer can also adjust layout plans, like the living room arrangement, based on the furniture dimensions, avoiding situations where you fall in love with a piece but it doesn’t fit the design.
**Can Design Space According to Furniture**
To save time, many people hand over smaller furniture items like **shoe cabinets** and **duobaoge** (a type of built-in storage unit) to the decoration company. While this seems convenient, it often results in furniture that’s too functional and lacks style. If these pieces are chosen before the renovation, such issues can be avoided. With today’s flexible house designs, spaces can be easily opened or partitioned, making it easier to incorporate custom furniture.
**Reduce Unnecessary Expenses**
Choosing furniture first is an effective way to control renovation costs. Many people find that the final design ends up exceeding the original budget due to unexpected additions during the process, such as extra cabinets or increased labor and material costs. These hidden expenses aren’t always included in the initial quote from the decoration company.
Once you’ve **chosen your furniture**, you’ve already allocated a large portion of the budget, and the basic structure is set. This reduces the need for additional changes later. Some homeowners end up buying cheap, mismatched furniture after finishing the renovation, leading to an uncoordinated and unappealing overall look.
**Save Time and Effort**
The home market is diverse, and you can often find furniture while shopping for building materials. If you find the right pieces, you can book them early. This gives the designer a clear direction and reduces the number of trips to the building materials market. Plus, many high-end imported furniture items require a waiting period of at least a month. By booking your **wardrobes** and entryway units before the renovation starts, you can ensure they arrive just in time for installation, allowing you to move in at least half a month earlier. Why not take advantage of that?
