How To Pick The Best Apartment Furniture

If you know absolutely nothing about interior decorating, this will help get you started. But do a little more research before you start buying mismatched apartment furniture.

1. Pick a Theme and Stick With It

Learn about the different types of furniture themes. Do you want minimalist? Modern? Chic? Post modern? Traditional? Wood? Rustic? Antique? Stainless steel? Figure out what you like and work within that theme.

2. Mind Your Budget

Don't buy a $2,000 piece of furniture if you only make $10/hour. Buy what you can afford.

3. Less is More

You don't have to put furniture everywhere. Start with a few items at first and build up from there.

4. Don't Forget to Measure

Door frames, rooms, corners, all of it. You don't want to buy a community couch for the hallway outside your door.
