Shopping for Furniture is another Woman’s Challenge

Canvasing for furniture and modern wall painting can be very exhausting. This is because wherever you look, of whether it is online or in physical store, you have more than thousands of choices. No matter how you categorize your need depending on the space allotment, theme like Asian art style, price, color, etc., choices are just tons and equally enticing.

Furniture makes up the interior of our home.  Almost all rooms in the house need furniture and not just for aesthetic purposes but for its practical use. If there is one space in our home that does not have an urgent need for furniture, then it must be our bathroom. But when it comes to interior designing, bathrooms nowadays have bigger space allotment for furnishing and furniture as well like cabinets or TV rack. The thing is when we speak of furniture, we do not mean small items or objects because even small side tables or console tables consume too much space in the house.

The most confusing part of shopping around for furniture is that most of the time, you will shop for the one that looks good neglecting if it suits the theme or style of your home. ‘ Say you have a house that is Mexican-inspired but when you went online or you went to visit different boutiques, you saw this beautiful Japanese dining table and choosing the one  that fits the theme of your interior would mean buying the second best. No people would want to buy the second best. We want to get the first choice that fits our budget. 

So for homemakers or for homeowners who do not hire professional interior designer, it is very seldom that the house interior theme is strictly followed. Most of the time, you’ll see collection of art pieces from different locations. And when we say art pieces, we also mean to include furniture. It could look like this: on the top of a lazy boy is an Asian art wall painting just very close to rich drapes which prominently look Victorian. Yet overall, the interior still looks great.

This is what makes shopping around for furniture exhausting not unless you will limit the number of boutiques to visit. If the home interior is Asian, might as well visit Asian art shops alone. This could be wise, practical, and time-saving, but not very womanly. As we know, women get attracted to an item they initially saw but they have this attitude of canvassing for more until there are no choices left. After exhausting all the options, they go back to what they first saw. This is where interior designer comes to front. They are attached to their project more and less to the owner whims.
