Furniture: Choose Your Personal Style

Are you interested in casual, transitional, contemporary, country, traditional or eclectic furniture? If you are unsure, look around you and what you have to see how those items reflect your personality--your wardrobe, your cars, your magazines, movies, etc.

Examine Your Furniture Design Preferences

A good idea is to make a list of your favorite colors, textures and patterns. Do you prefer bold colors or pastels? Solids, stripes or plaids? Soft, light fabric covers or rich tapestries? Lighter fruitwoods or darker hardwoods?

Identify Your Current Furniture Needs and Rooms that Need Furniture

Do you need bedroom furniture, dining room furniture, living room furniture, kids furniture or entertainment centers? Determine the rooms in need prior to starting your search for furniture. You may also need  office furniture.

Do you plan to have a family or do you already have children? Do you have pets? Are you planning to move soon? These factors may affect the features of the furniture you buy today.

Decide which items of furniture you want or need most, and buy those first. Then build around them. You don't have to furnish the whole house at once. Are key spaces empty? Are certain pieces worn or in need of replacement? Have you been yearning for a particular item?

No matter how much or how little you want to spend on furniture, you can find good values that suit your style in any price category.

Do you enjoy doing lots of research and browsing or are you an on-the-spot buyer? The great thing about shopping for furniture online is it can be as easy or involved as you want it to be.

Look to the Internet for home programs, books, magazines, catalogs, websites and furniture show rooms to provide inspiration. Keep a scrapbook of furniture styles you like.

Many online furniture stores offer such benefits as interior-design consulting, room-planning guides, product brochures, etc.

Buy what you like, and don't be afraid to be bold or different. Remember: no one knows what you want better than you do.

Furnishing your home to express your personal style can be one of life's greatest and most enduring pleasures.
