Investing in Designer Furniture Pieces

If there’s one way to make your home feel like the lavish palace it should, it’s by adding some designer furniture. For the ultimate in stylish living, designer pieces add a touch of class that standard furniture just doesn’t quite seem to add.

However, with a designer’s name comes a designer’s price tag, so knowing what is actually worth investing in and what isn’t can be tricky. Here’s a guide to the best ways to spend your cash when it comes to investing in designer furniture:

Look for Longevity

Although you want to be on trend if you’re going to invest some serious money into a new piece of furniture it’s vital that you choose something that lasts. Timeless designs for pieces that are used frequently tend to make the best investments; consider dining tables, lounge chairs and display cabinets which are used every day. Whereas furniture made from cheaper materials can wear out easily designer may be the way to go for a long life.

Iconic Pieces

If you’re looking for furniture which instantly impresses go for designer sofa or artwork to hang in the entrance of your home. A feature rug or expensive sofa is a real talking point when friends come over and will really impress. These items have a much greater longevity than buying cheaper models and adds a real edge to your home. A Persian rug or geometric design can look really chic and will age well.

Accessories

If you want to add a designer edge to your home but can’t afford to splash out on the more expensive feature pieces a sprinkle of designer accessories can make all the difference! I just love the boldness and quality craftsmanship of the Georg Jensen homeware range available at Skandium, which includes elegant clocks, candle holders and picture frames which will add a sleek designer edge to your interiors.

Mirrors

Mirrors don’t tend to age and a well-placed mirror can completely transform the look of your home; making a room look instantly larger or creating a talking point should you have guests round for dinner. Whether you want a full-length mirror in the bedroom or a rectangular shape in the hallway, a mirror is a sound investment piece and designer ones really have an edge on standard designs.

By following this advice, you’ll be able to invest in some amazing designer furniture pieces for your home and give it that super stylish makeover you’ve been dreaming of.
