Shopping Tips

When shopping, take along a rough floor plan, photograph and room dimensions (including height, width and length) of the space you're redecorating. Measure other furniture in the room to ensure that your purchase will be compatible with the overall proportions and scale. (Be sure to wear comfortable clothing on shopping trips, as you may want to get down on your hands and knees to examine the furniture more closely.)

Always test chairs, benches and other furniture used for seating by doing just that – sitting on them. Furniture that looks great may not feel great.
