Buying furniture can be an exciting project for some, and a daunting task for others. In either case, people who know furniture have useful tips for shoppers to help them select the right pieces for their home. According to Deepak Jain, owner of Home Living Furniture stores in Howell and Middletown, New Jersey, the goal is to invest in furniture that fits your space, your lifestyle and your pocketbook.

Choosing the Right Furniture

Mr. Jain offered some important tips for furniture buyers. “The first thing to think about when you go furniture shopping is the size and configuration of your space,” he said. “Even if you find furniture you love but it won’t fit, it is not a good choice for you.”

Next, he suggests considering your lifestyle before you make a purchase. “If you have a large family or if you are constantly entertaining guests, you need to think about having enough seating in your living room or great room,” he said. “You might set up multiple seating areas or look into sectional sofas that give you plenty of options for seating. He noted that many furniture buyers are looking for stores that offer the best value. “At Home Living Furniture we carry high quality name brands at discount prices every day,” he said.

Style and Fabric Choice


Shoppers are advised to decide on the style they want for their home before they make a purchase. “There is a wide range of styles to choose from, so I tell shoppers that before they buy, they should know the style they want for their home,” said Mr. Jain.

“Some people love the more formal look of updated traditional styles, while others are looking for sophisticated contemporary designs. Others want the casual feel of rustic or Farmhouse furniture, or a coastal look to remind them of a vacation by the sea.”

Fabric choice is also a consideration. “A few years ago I might have recommended staying away from lighter colored fabrics,” said Mr. Jain. “But today, many manufacturers offer performance fabrics that are stain resistant so stylish light colors are a possibility, even for families. Leather and faux leather fabrics are also good choices for areas that get a lot of use.”

Look for High Quality Name Brands

Mr. Jain suggests you look for a furniture store that offers one-stop shopping with a wide range of quality name brands for every room in the house. As an added bonus, some furniture stores provide guidance from experienced representatives who can help you pick the right pieces, whether you shop virtually or in person. Mr. Jain recommends taking along a floorplan when you shop in person and showing it to your sales representative at the store.

“At Home Living Furniture, we offer a full range of name brand collections for the entire house,” he said. “We provide discount prices every day, in addition to special discounts, promotions and weekly sales. Furniture is an important investment, so it makes sense for people to buy the best quality they can afford.”
