1. SEPTEMBER, 2014 BLOG: "HOW AND WHEN TO REPLACE FURNITURE"
Furniture replacement is the process no one really looks forward
to. There are so many choices. So many places promoting their
wares. And sometimes, funds are limited. And sometimes, the vision
of the final outcome is based on perfection that is hard to attain.
Yet, furniture updating has and will continue to be a favorite
past-time for many people because furniture is considered to be one
of the major elements in living. In other words, replacing
furniture is hard work, and it can seem to be a process that drags
on, without much to show for it, when indecision occurs. When
someone begins to think about furniture replacement, he or she may
think about it for awhile. At some point, decisiveness kicks in,
and the person goes on the hunt for new items for his or her
immediate environment. After-all, it is about, what people like and
can afford. Not many people are willing to pay an inflated price
for something they don't like. Selectivity is very much a part of
furniture shopping. FURNITURE REPLACEMENT needs are the type of
situations that prompt people to be more immediate in their
decisions. Some key items in a furniture store can make a
difference in how a room looks. But replacement does not need to be
a complete overhaul, or as the fashion world says, a complete
make-over. So the question is: How to start small when you need to
replace something?
2. What are the furniture pieces that are commonly replaced?
Instead of thinking how you can give your house a complete
make-over, like those appealing TV shows or magazine covers, it is
better to START SMALL, or in other words, one replacement at a
time. MATTRESSES are things that definitely need replacement.
Disturbed sleep, partner preferences, and other factors, even how
it is constructed to last, can make a replacement earlier than
expected. SOFAS are things that need replacement. Color
degradation, frame stability, and mechanism and motor operation may
occur due to many factors, even frequency of use in comparison to a
dining room table that is used only for special occasions. COFFEE
TABLES are things that need replacement, as they are prone to more
than just an occasional tea- pot being placed upon it. WALL ART is
something that needs to be replaced when someone changes a room or
grows tired of their current wall decorations. CHAIRS are commonly
in need of replacement, when the dowel hole that is for the
stretcher becomes larger than the stretcher, and one or more of
them become loose. CHAIRS are often treated much more harshly, and
they need replacement more frequently. BUNK BEDS take a lot of
abuse with the rough and tumble nature of kids. Yet, security is
very important, and all parts need to be adjusted and fastened
securely, for peace of mind. SECTIONALS Because sectionals are such
a centerpiece and a visual point of interest in a person's living
room, it is important to keep them from looking run-down.
Replacement needs are not only based on duration of time, but also
on how the piece is being used. If there is more wear than normal,
earlier replacement is commonly necessary. Watch out for the family
favorite, your pet. Consider seriously how they are impacting your
furniture for better or for worse. (I think we all know that
answer.) HOW IS FURNITURE REPLACED? -- COMMON PARTS REPLACEMENT:
WHATEVER THE REASON, GET IT FIXED OR REPLACED SPRINGS: These can
get squeaky and the noise can give an annoying impression at every
sit. The polypropylene-sprayed springs are better to avoid this
occurrence. Zig-zag fasteners that cut deep into the wood frame
also keep the sinuous wire springs from sagging. UPHOLSTERY: Many
customers do not know what it will cost to get a favorite piece of
their furniture re- upholstered. A favorite chair can sit in your
living room for months, until someone is comfortable with the
associated costs of re-upholstery. SEAT, BACK AND ARM COVERS: These
can be replaced, sometimes ordered from the manufacturer, without a
total replacement of a furniture piece.
3. GLASS: This commonly gets broken if it is moved or
transported carelessly. Replacing a pane of glass can give your
pocketbook headaches, but it may be a better solution than buying
another higher-priced designer table with glass. SHELVING: Loose
items within case goods can sometimes crash, fall, and get damaged
upon moving or even during the installation process. Therefore, if
your furniture is missing pieces, either when you buy it off the
floor somewhere, or after years of use and moving around in your
home, it's time to be out with the old and in with the new. As you
can see, furniture replacement is not only about one piece, but
perhaps, its related components as well. You are more likely to
replace a pier of a TV wall unit than you are to buy a replacement
for an entire entertainment center. So try, (I know it's hard.) to
keep your replacement efforts to a very manageable, realistic
proportion. A little progress made, in this regard, opens up many
more enjoyable moments of outfitting your place with pieces that
resonate with who you are, how you want to live, and what is
necessary for you to derive enjoyment from your choices. DAZ
FURNITURE IN LIBERTYVILLE, ILLINOIS HAS AN EXTENSIVE SELECTION OF
FURNITURE, ACCESSORIES, AND ARTWORK THAT CAN ASSIST YOU WITH
BRINGING ITEMS IN YOUR HOME UP-TO-DATE, EVEN IF YOUR PIECES ARE
THEMATICALLY FROM ANOTHER ERA. THE MAJOR QUESTION THAT PEOPLE HAVE
WHEN SHOPPING FOR FURNITURE IS: WILL IT FIT AND WORK IN THE
ENVIRONMENT THAT I AM IN? IT CAN BE EASY TO GET CAUGHT UP IN
WORRYING ABOUT THE PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS OF FURNITURE AND PHYSICAL
FIT, BUT REPLACING FURNITURE INVOLVES BRINGING IN THE NEW TO
ACCOMODATE THE OVERALL FIT, OR FEELING, OF A ROOM, SPACE, OR
ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS WHY IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO MAKE UP ONE'S MIND
WHEN IT COMES TO FURNITURE. IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO DETERMINE HOW
IT WILL LOOK ONCE YOU ACTUALLY GET IT IN THE SPACE. THERE IS SORT
OF A BUYER'S REMORSE OR CAUTION THAT OCCURS IN ADVANCE OF A
FURNITURE PURCHASE. BUT DAZ FURNITURE CAN HELP YOU FIND THINGS THAT
WILL WORK FOR YOU AND ITEMS THAT YOU CAN BE HAPPY WITH UNTIL YOUR
NEXT UPDATE NEEDS DRIVE YOU OUT OF YOUR HOUSE AND INTO YOUR
