Furnishing Your Life with Charm and Chuckles: A Light-hearted Guide to Pre-Loved Furniture Success with Redeco

Redeco is all about ensuring a good experience in buying pre-loved furniture. There can be nothing more joyful than buying an item at a bargain price and also enjoying the new piece at home. At the same time, there is nothing more dreadful than buying a furniture piece that is wrong for your home and then also dealing with the sale again. Although selling the items will become so much easier soon – look out for Redeco relaunch! 👀 🌬️🛋️

Let’s dive into the do’s and definitely-don’ts of second-hand furnishing, shall we?

💭 1. Dream Big, Shop Smart: Have a vision before you shop Pre-loved Furniture

We have all been there – returned from a market with a vintage lamp that clashes with everything in your house, including the cat?

To dodge this decor disaster, sketch out a dream room in your head (or on Pinterest) and pen down what you’re hunting for. It’s like a grocery list but for your soul. This way you can always fall back on it and limit any impulse purchases.

📏 2. Measure twice or even three times

Spotted the perfect dresser? Fantastic! Now, can it actually cross the threshold of your abode, or will it spend eternity in the hallway, a monument to miscalculation? Whip out that measuring tape as if your life depended on it. Remember, “It seemed smaller at the store” makes for a poor bedtime story.

🦗 3. Patience, Grasshopper

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is your eclectic living room. The quest for the ideal piece is a marathon, not a sprint—unless you’re into the aesthetic of “early garage sale”. Keep your options open and don’t settle for something that is something mediocre.

🥗 4. CSI: Pre-Loved Furniture Edition

Condition is the key when buying pre-loved items. Here’s where your detective hat comes in handy. Examine potential buys for signs of wear, tear, or the dreaded pests. Check for sturdy construction, open and close drawers, sit on chairs to test their stability and look under cushions.

But don’t let a few scratches deter you. With a lick of paint or new fabric, you could turn a beast into a beauty. Just imagine the “before and after” Instagram post!

💰 5. The Price Is (Hopefully) Right

Ensure you’re not paying a king’s ransom for a footstool. A quick sleuthing online can reveal if you’re snagging a steal or unwittingly funding someone’s round-the-world cruise. Set a budget, stick to it, and remember: Bargaining is an art form.

🚚 6. Operation Pre-Loved Furniture Transport

Got your eyes on a chunky bookcase that won’t squeeze into a taxi? Time to strategize your extraction plan. Whether it’s hiring a van or enlisting friends with promises of pizza, logistics are key. Or just lean on Redeco’s door-to-door delivery and save yourself a sitcom-worthy mishap.

In the enchanting ballet of furniture matchmaking, Redeco is here to lead you through each pirouette and plié, ensuring you land gracefully with treasures that fill your home with stories and style, minus the sitcom drama. Happy hunting! 🕵️‍♂️🏡
