Budget Home Furniture

• Auction houses often offer classy furnishings and antiques at reasonable prices. You may visit them to see if something comes up that may interest you.
• Builders furnish some model homes with beautiful furnishings as a display to their potential customers. You may ask their sales office, if and when the furniture will be on sale. You can get some big discounts on the pieces, though they may be faded and have spots or dents due to frequent use.
• You can always use your creativity to transform discarded old furnishings. Check out furniture pieces like a small telephone table or a stool at negligible prices at garage sales that can be turned into something really beautiful.
• Many furniture and department stores have clearance outlets and ongoing or periodic sales where they offer heavy discounts on furniture not sold for a certain period of time. You may negotiate even more if the pieces have imperfections such as scratches or dents.
• Search for budget home furnishings at consignment stores where you can sell old furniture and furnishings and buy new ones. Inform the owners, managers and salespersons there and let them know of your requirements, so that they can let you know if they get hold of something appropriate.

You may also permanently or temporarily trade some of your unwanted furniture pieces with those of your neighbors or friends. For example, a sofa too big for your living room may be good enough for them while their loveseat may suit your room better.
