Furnishing and Decorating a Home “On the Cheap”: Auction
Style
It’s not impossible to furnish an entire house for the same
amount of money you may spend on a single brand new bedroom set, which you will
most likely set up financing for and will ultimately cost you a few extra
hundred dollars in interest. Auctions
are such a great source for so many things and furniture and home décor is
especially one of them. Many times an
auction will offer full bedroom or living room sets which takes the guesswork
out of finding matching pieces. Other
times you may find one or two pieces at one auction and then other matching or
at least similar pieces at a different auction.
Buying a few pieces at a time can be somewhat of a daunting task,
especially if you are anxious to furnish your home quickly, but it can be a
huge money saver with just a bit of patience.
There is also the option of buying mismatched pieces and adding your own
personal touches to make them come together in a coherent look. For instance, you purchase multiple bedroom
pieces that are all distinctively different, paint everything to match and swap
out hardware and you can instantly create a matching bedroom suite.
Now put it into perspective, you can easily spend $1500 on a
brand new bedroom set (and that’s a very conservative price) and then an
additional $1000 for a mattress and box spring, you’re looking at $2500 easily
to buy new. It is completely possible to
buy a full bedroom set at auction for $100-$500, or a full living room or
dining room set for the same. So, in
reality you could furnish three bedrooms, a living room and a dining room for
$2500 with just a little patience and a wanting to save money. There are exceptions to this such as an
auction that is selling furniture such as Stickley or Hitchcock in which case
you will not be walking away paying $500 for a full set of anything. Certain brands such as these are in high
demand and buyers for those items will be paying a premium to purchase them.
There are so many options to buying furniture and décor when
you are going to auctions. It is almost
limitless in possibilities because there are such a large variety of
items. Initially you may begin with an
idea of how you want to decorate your home but that can evolve as you are
exposed to so many choices which makes the experience that much more unique. Unlike shopping at a furniture store where
you are very limited in styles and choices, auctions provide you with an
expanded selection and the only limitation is your imagination. And you are also not limited to just
furniture, you will find other décor and household needs at a very affordable
price. Mirrors, paintings & prints,
rugs, linens (from bedspreads to napkins), dishes, washers & dryers, vases,
desks, televisions, the list goes on and on, you can literally find everything
you need at auction. The next time you
are considering buying new just take a moment to search a few auctions and see
what they have to offer, you may discover exactly what you are looking for and
be able to purchase those items at a cheap price and ultimately have some extra
cash in savings.
