Our Guide to Investing in Furniture You’ll Love (And Treasure Forever)
You’ll get to enjoy being in a comfortable space that you adore, day after day.
Choosing furniture for your home is no mean feat and not something one should do carelessly. It requires time, money, and effort, but when done well can elevate your home tenfold. There are numerous benefits to investing in quality furniture; it’s better for the environment, it will improve the overall aesthetic of your home, and you’ll get to enjoy being in a comfortable space that you love, day after day.
Ideally, you want to buy once and buy well, opting for items with staying power and that you adore. This means selecting furniture that you won’t get tired of because it’s not dictated by trends, furniture that will work with a variety of styles as your design taste evolves, and furniture that is well-made and reliable – and therefore functional.
But how do you go about selecting pieces that you’ll appreciate and treasure forever and that will stay relevant for years to come? Let’s dive further into the benefits of investing in quality design and some of the key things you should look out for.
Identify the materials used
Long-lasting furniture is made from long-lasting materials. You should identify what your piece has been created with as this will ultimately reveal the longevity of the product and its comfortability. Quality materials can come with a higher price tag, however, choosing durable products is a sustainably-minded approach to homemaking, a more economical option long-term, and decreases the need to replace items regularly.
The majority of the pieces in the Bed Threads Furniture collection are constructed with mango wood and rattan, materials known for their strength, density, attractive aesthetic, and durability that allow them not to wear out quickly. Our Classic Linen Bedhead is swathed in our signature linen – a fabric that is one of the strongest natural fibres there is.
Don’t get experimental with big-ticket items
Timeless design means a product is balanced, dynamic, and thoughtful. As much as we love sprucing up our homes with unique pieces, sticking to enduring pieces for larger furniture items like tables, sideboards, and bedheads will help ensure you don’t regret your purchase later down the track and only choose furnishings that act as a versatile foundation in your space. You can experiment with art and decorative elements to lean into trends or specific styles that you love and let go of throughout the years.
The Bed Threads Furniture range has been created to be timeless and seamlessly blend in with a variety of interior design styles and existing pieces you may have, whether old or new.
Stick to natural materials and neutral tones
Natural materials, like rattan, wood, and stone, and neutral tones like whites, creams, greys, and browns, feature prominently among timeless design. These classic interior design elements have never gone out of style and are safe choices for an ageless look that will serve you for years to come and that can be handed down to other family members as heirlooms with sentimental value. Play with paint colours and accent décor when you feel creative and want to enliven a room with a particular aesthetic.
