Furniture Shopping: The Best Furniture Collections

Categorized: Modern Furniture | No comments

When shopping for furniture, there are lots of questions to consider. What fabric? What shape? Is it comfortable? Will it survive the dog and kids? Will it repel stains and scratches? Will it match the furniture I already own? Will the couch go with the side table? The mind spins at the thought… When my husband and I were searching for bedroom furniture to fill our new home, we discovered the joy of shopping in collections. There were still a lot of decisions to make as we chose what to buy, but purchasing a collection made things much easier. As we narrowed down our search, we found ourselves wondering what other people put in their beautifully decorated homes?

The most popular collection on the market is the Bittersweet Bedroom collection from Ashley furniture. The country cottage inspired pine wood and antiqued brass handles transform your empty bedroom into a cozy haven. Each drawer has a perfect brass pull that reminds you of a simpler, early American era. The collection can be purchased one piece at a time or in groups for a significant discount. The collection includes headboard and footboard (in five different styles), side rails, night stands, dresser with mirror, chest of drawers, armoire, media chest, and a wide screen TV stand. Because each Ashley Furniture store is independently owned, prices vary from one location to the next. However, this collection is generally available as a 6-piece set for $1,700-$2,000. (The six piece set includes the headboard, bed rails, one night stand, dresser, mirror, and chest of drawers.) Each piece is individually priced and can easily be added to the set.

To continue the comfortable cottage motif throught the house, consider the popular kitchen set Berringer (also from Ashley furniture). The rustic finish on these simple table and chairs easily fits in with the cabinets, counters, and floor in even the ugliest rent house. The hand-applied finish also ensures that scratches, knicks, and dings won’t be noticiable and will, instead, add to the character and appeal of the table itself. Again, each Ashley store determines its own prices so the collection ranges from $20-$700, depending on the size of your table. You can choose a variety of sizes, leaf styles, and chair options. There is also a very attractive server available that will be a breathtaking addition to your dining room.
To complete your beautifully decorated home, I suggest purchasing the popular Brush Hollow desk collection from Ashley Furniture. The two tone wooden desk will fit perfectly in any decor – whether you have an entire room for an office, or the desk is nestled in that cozy nook under the stairs. This collection includes a variety of sizes and hutch options each for around $200.

Shopping for furniture can be overwhelming, but if you purchase collections it can make the decision making a whole lot easier. (Plus, it might save you a few dollars in the long run!)
