Furniture for the Long Term
When you’re weighing up the pros and cons of spending money on a new piece of furniture, think about the lifetime value as well as the price tag. A good quality piece of furniture will last for years and will give you a great deal of pleasure, both in the beauty of the piece itself but also in its practical value to you and your family.
Investing in Furniture
We’re not expecting you to take out a bank loan so that you can buy an antique piece of furniture. We want you to find and buy the furniture that’s right for you: right for your budget, right for your style preferences and right for your home. Finding that piece of furniture can be tricky, and it’s always tempting to buy something cheap to keep you going, rather than looking at more expensive pieces. Whilst your furniture is unlikely to be worth more in twenty years’ time than it is today, a good quality piece will give you twenty years of service, and still look good at the end of it. Paying £500 for a dining table that lasts for that long works out at just £25 per year – a bargain considering the number of times you’ll use it during its lifetime. Compare that to having to buy three or more “cheap” tables at £200 and you’ll see that you’ll get better value from the more expensive table.
Caring for your Furniture
Of course, no piece of furniture will last for long if you don’t look after it properly. Fortunately, general furniture care isn’t time consuming or difficult, so there’s no reason why your furniture should get badly damaged. Protection is the key – always put down mats or coasters to protect wood, and make sure that any spills on fabric, wood, glass or metal are wiped off as soon as possible. If there are any special care instructions with your furniture, keep them in a safe place so that you know how best to deal with a problem. If you have children or pets, you might expect there to be damage, but as long as you set reasonable rules for children and keep an eye on your pets, your furniture should still have a long life.
