Designer Home Furnishings


The Internet brings luxury home furnishings to the attention of homeowners at every income level. Photographs of the latest items inspire visions of what could be accomplished in one's own home. This can be helpful, because it allows shoppers to compare products and imagine these items in a home setting. Back-Patio-with-Furniture

Other times, feelings of dissatisfaction and envy may arise when a person realizes that, at least at the present time, these items are out of reach. Besides wishing to avoid covetousness, a Christian may be concerned about becoming too materialistic. How can an individual strike a balance between obtaining the best quality products which he or she can afford, without slipping past the guardrails of a budget and into a pit of financial indebtedness?

There is no single answer to this question. Each person or family has their own set of financial priorities. However, there are Scriptural principles which are helpful when an individual is making decisions about luxury home furnishings. First, there is nothing inherently sinful about wishing to acquire designer home furnishings. A problem could occur, however, if the funds used for such purchases are earmarked for everyday living expenses or for retiring current indebtedness. Luxury home furnishings are just that -- a luxury. However, if a person has the funds, the furnishings are definitely available.

One important principle in Scripture which deals with the issue of materialism is found in Luke 12:15, where Jesus says, ...Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Afterwards, Jesus tells a story about a man who has so many goods that he decides to tear down his barns and build bigger ones in which to store his treasures, not knowing that this very night, his life will end. Scripture calls this man a fool, for although he has many possessions, he is not rich towards God -- that is, he does not have a right relationship with God. This is far more important in the eternal scheme of things. However, at times Scripture commends those who make wise use of their resources or acquire quality items. The diligent woman in Proverbs 31 comes to mind, who because of her wise decisions and hard work is able to ensure that her family is well provided with quality clothing and food to meet their needs. Yet the rest of this chapter in Proverbs makes it abundantly clear that God, and not material goods, is the focus of her life. This is perhaps the crux of the matter: does one want quality items because they are a good long-term investment and meet real needs, or because one is seeking to outshine a neighbor or prove self-worth? These are the types of questions one must ask of oneself, and answer for oneself.

There are many websites featuring designer home furnishings. If one can not purchase these particular pieces of furniture immediately, it can be fun to collect photographs and information about items which are of interest. Collect buyer's information as well -- manufacturer's address and telephone, or website -- so that these items can be found if the opportunity to purchase them arrives. Watch out for special sales or discounts on the products. This process can accomplish several things. First, one can begin to weed out impulse items from pieces which are of lasting interest. Luxury home furnishings which seemed so desirable may quickly fade from view, replaced by a piece which is more appropriate or of higher quality or craftsmanship. Also, as this process continues, an individual can get a better understanding of the type (and price) of furniture that is available. Those who sell designer home furnishings, like sellers of nearly every other item, have certain sales cycles. One can soon develop a sense of when the manufacturer is likely to have a sale.

Some sites which feature designer home furnishings do not sell any products themselves. They merely provide a way for consumers to search for products which match the look they want. They will help a person to find products and local showrooms in their area, so that the buyer can actually examine products in person, if desired. These sites also make it easier to work with an interior designer, architect or builder, because a person can show these professionals exactly what they want. Sometimes, people are unsure how to describe the types of furniture or features which they wish to purchase for their homes. These 'idea' sites can help give substance to the plans of those who are uncertain, and can educate consumers about the various styles of design and furnishings.

Another option exists for those who are interested in high quality luxury home furnishings yet do not wish to spend high prices for the furniture: purchasing designer home furnishings which are for sale on consignment.

A seller puts the items up for sale. If the furniture does not sell within a certain period, the price is reduced at an agreed-upon rate. The consignment business only accepts items that are of a high quality and gently used. Buyers can save more than half off of the price of furnishings. Many times, it is impossible to tell that the items are used. Because it is in the interest of the seller to present the item in its best possible condition (in order to sell at the highest rates), the sellers will clean or restore problem areas before the furniture is presented for sale.

The only difficult part is knowing how long to hold out before the risk of losing the item to another buyer seems more likely than continued price reductions!

Do not forget about simply saving to acquire desired items. This process teaches self-control. Also, this offers a cooling off period so that only items which are truly desired will end up being purchased. So consider motives and then pick a strategy for acquiring products which will truly meet the need
