It’s amazing to live in a time when everyone has a high-quality digital camera in their pocket. Most smartphones have cameras capable of taking and saving hundreds of pictures. Before you go shopping, take some pictures of your room with your phone. Try a few different angles to get the full scale of the room. Referring back to these pictures will help you visualize the room while you’re in the store.
2) Measure Your Room
Pull out a tape measure and write down the dimensions of your room. This will help you find furniture that fits your space.
3) Consult with Friends & Family
Your friends and family are who you’ll share your furniture with while they’re visiting your home, so you’ll want them to be comfortable. bAsking for their opinion is a good way to help them feel comfortable with your furniture. Of course, you should have the final say in what you decide to spend your money on. It’s important to consider others when shopping for furniture. Plus, it’s helpful to bounce ideas off other people and learn from their perspectives.

6) Check Your Delivery Details
Your furniture delivery options will vary depending on where you shop and where you live.
Here are a few questions you should ask before you agree to the terms of your delivery.
Will I know the exact time of delivery?
