Alternative Ways to Furnish a Home

Alternative ways to furnish a home can help you save money after the largest purchase of your life. Furnishing a new home doesn’t have to mean spending money you don’t have or going without in your new (and maybe somewhat empty) home. With a little creativity and resourcefulness, you can create a stylish and functional space on a budget. The secret is to pick one unifying color to look for wherever you go.

Facebook Marketplace & Local Buy/Sell Groups

You can find gently used furniture at a fraction of retail prices in these goldmines. You can often find high-quality items from people who are moving or redecorating.

Thrift Stores, Estate Sales & Garage Sales

 Vintage shops, estate sales and garage sales can yield unique finds, from coffee tables to rugs to charming armchairs with character.

DIY & Upcycling Projects

 Repurpose old furniture with a coat of paint, new hardware, or creative reconfiguring. A dated dresser can become a chic bathroom vanity or a buffet table.

Floor Models & Clearance Sections

 Check out furniture showrooms for floor models and clearance pieces as they’re often in great shape and deeply discounted.

Rent-to-Own or Furniture Subscriptions

 Services now offer monthly rentals for high-quality furniture which are ideal if you’re unsure of long-term style or plan to move soon.

Ask Friends & Family

 Let your circle know you’re furnishing a home and many people are happy to part with furniture they no longer need to help get you started!
