Stop By These Furniture Stores In Melbourne For Your Home Decor

Whether you’re moving to a new place or redecorating your current space, the right furniture really makes a difference. If you want to make your house feel like a home, you’ll need items that aren’t just functional but also meaningful – furniture that reflects your personality and your goals in life.

If you’re wondering where to buy these products, look no further than this very list. From high-end shops to cheap retailers, bedroom decor to living room knick-knacks, elaborate French design to Scandinavian minimalism – here’s New Idea’s guide to furniture shops in Melbourne.

How To Choose The Right Furniture Store

Stick To Your Budget

An Insta-worthy home isn’t easy to achieve, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. Set a realistic budget for your home shopping and narrow down your options from there. 

Some outlets even may offer payment options for big-ticket items like sofas, beds, large rugs, and outdoor furniture. 0% instalment plans and buy now/pay later payment schemes are a lot easier on the pocket than paying for everything in one go.

If brand-new furniture from affordable shops is still out of your price range, wait for seasonal discounts and clearance sales, or scour online marketplaces to find great deals on used furniture. Sites like Craigslist are a hit or miss, but if you do your due diligence, you just might strike gold.

Compare Product Ranges And Styles

While all furniture shops will carry a diverse range of items, some focus on a particular kind of furniture or style. Major chain furniture stores are more general and will carry products in a basic, modern style – these shops are perfect for picking out timeless and trendy pieces. 

But there are also specialty shops that carry unique furniture items, like handcrafted Italian tables, Asian tapestries, and quirky vintage furnishings – these shops are best for those with eclectic tastes, or those who want to balance contemporary minimalist furniture with standout pieces.

Read Store Reviews

When you research a potential furniture store, you have to look at more than their product offerings. Read reviews before you head to an actual outlet. This will give you a better idea of how the staff treat customers, how responsive the store is to customer complaints or refunds, and if their products are a generally reliable investment.

Consider The Shop’s Delivery Options

Getting large furniture from the store to your house can be a pain. If you’re planning to transport the items yourself, then it’s important to find a furniture shop that isn’t too far. Google “furniture shops near me”, and you’ll get a list of the nearest stores.

But there’s also another option: have the furniture delivered straight to your home. Some stores, especially the bigger ones, may offer delivery. Ask for these details when you go furniture shopping.
