Furniture Purchasing And Care: Top Tips And Advice From Born Furniture

Quality is always a top priority when we purchase new furniture. The same is true for the team at Born Furniture, and today they are sharing some top tips for furniture purchasing and care.

Our advice for furniture buying is to always look for quality pieces. Pieces that can literally last you a lifetime. Remember that the furniture pieces that you will be bringing into your home must be aesthetically pleasing to your space and you should at least have one or two pieces that steal the show. Besides the stylish appeal there are a couple of practical things to look into.

Springs

Always check the springs of the furniture you want to buy. It is important to choose a chair or a sofa that feels comfortable to you. If you like firm chairs and sofas, make sure the springs are coiled properly and do not hesitate to replace them regularly to keep your furniture comfortable.

Cleaning your furniture

Before you put any furniture cleaner on your items, you need to test a small area first. Your product should not cause any negative reaction or damage to the furniture. A test could save you from heartache!

One of the most durable fabrics for furniture is leather. Leather comes in a variety of colours and is easily cleaned with just a damp cloth. The thicker the leather, the more durable it will be in the long run. Be careful to buy only real leather furniture. Many fake leather products will not stand the test of time like leather will.

Budget and life-span

When determining your budget for furniture, consider the expected lifespan of the piece. Light aluminium frames or particle-board pieces are likely far lower in price, but also lower in life expectancy. Heavy wood and solid furniture lasts a lot longer, albeit at a higher initial investment. How long do you plan to be in your home? You need to factor this in too!

Never go cheap on your bed. You may think your sofa is the piece of furniture that gets the most time, but for most people it’s their bed. Pay the extra price to get one that’s totally comfortable for you. It’s well worth it, and it can really affect how you feel and operate on a daily basis.

Genuine Leather

When purchasing a leather sofa, check its base very carefully to see if the leather is dyed evenly everywhere. If you notice some white gauze under the sofa, it is made out of vinyl. A genuine leather sofa should be evenly dyed, even under the sofa and between the cushions.

Another thing to check at the back of the sofa is the stitching. Real leather does not come on a roll and will be stitched together.

When you ask your furniture store about the leather to find out if it is real, you can ask them for a leather certificate to prove that it is 100% genuine leather. Then you know that you have gotten the real deal.

Good Quality

Quality furniture that will last you a lifetime comes at a price. Not only the price you pay for your leather furniture but also looking after your valued leather sofa. When you buy a leather sofa, you should take regular care of it by applying leather cream at least once a month.

Wood furniture is perhaps the most popular kind of furniture. If you decide to buy anything wood, however, there are some things to look for in order to ensure you are getting good quality. Run your hand over the furniture and make sure it is smooth. Look for any blemishes and cracks that might appear.
