• Always carry a furniture layout of the area with the optimum furniture sizes mentioned. This way you can always see if there is any possibility to be flexible, if the item you like is a size smaller or larger.
• Always check the depth of items like sofas so they don’t end up looking too bulky. Try to select items like sofas with legs rather than a complete base for easy cleaning.
• L-shape sofas look contemporary. If you are tempted to go in for white or a bright upholstery that’s susceptible to dust, check to see if the covers are on zippers so that they could be washed.
• For center tables try to opt for one with drawers for additional storage.
• While selecting dining chairs, go for wooden backs for easy maintenance, or if you want to go for a soft cushioned backrest, make sure the chair covers can be removed and washed.
• Check if the furnishing material is susceptible to chipping. If the price is unbelievably low, try to avoid picking up the item or be extra cautious. The material used may be inferior. Some items use a paper finish which resembles veneer/laminates. It is best to avoid those as they are not durable.
• Never be shy to ask sales assistants questions about the life of the product, its maintenance wear and tear.
• Most companies offer discounts on MRPs. They offer larger discounts if the amount of purchase is higher so you can consider buying things from one place to avail of these.
• Some sales assistants let you know if there is a sale coming around so do inquire if it is sold with the mattress so you are aware of what you are paying for.
• Glass tops for tables give easy maintenance. Try to go for one where the glass can be replaced if damaged or check if the glass is tempered.
• Last but not least, custom made furniture has an upper hand over the ready made ones. They can be made to fit to exact size of the room and give  the freedom to choose materials which is in sync with the design theme and colour of the room.You can also see interesting custom made furniture from 3DBricks
