With summer in full swing, it’s the perfect time of year to find excellent deals on new furniture and accessories for your home. It’s normal to find big furniture pieces with an even bigger price tag, but knowing where to look makes it possible to redecorate and stick to your budget. Revamp your living space without breaking the bank with these helpful tips.

Buy furniture from last season’s collection – When retailers put sets of furniture on clearance, the entire set could cost less than one piece from this current season. Look for stylish suites at a discount price to get the best bang for your buck.

Watch out for garage and estate sales – Between spring cleaning and homeowners downsizing when they move, people often sell their unwanted furniture at extremely low prices. Shop around for gently used, quality furniture to get significant pieces at a steal.

Research before buying – Don’t be afraid to shop around before committing to a new piece of furniture, it is an investment, after all. One retailer might have it listed at full price, while at another it’s discounted. Also take delivery and setup costs into account to make sure you’re getting the best deal possible.

Wander furniture warehouses – At specialty boutiques, furniture is usually sold at markedly higher prices. Look for larger furniture stores or warehouses that carry bulk items and a variety of brands to get a lower price on stylish anchor pieces for your living space.

Get inspired – Any piece of furniture can seamlessly match your aesthetic with a DIY attitude. Watch videos and search the web to learn how to transform your finds into a contemporary, stylish addition to your home.
