When you decide to update your living room, you may have a budget in mind and want to get the best value for your money when purchasing new decorative homewares. Value for money doesn't always translate into buying the cheapest products you can find, and as your living room is one of the most used rooms in your home and the room that visitors will spend the majority of their time in, it's worth taking some time to establish what's important to you before making any purchases. For example, consider how important colour coordination is to you, whether you want the room to be cosy or more practical and functional and whether you want to focus on sustainability when selecting homewares.
Designer homewares do tend to cost a bit more than off-the-shelf products that can be found in any homeware store, but designer homewares tend to be long-lasting and don't have to be replaced often. Here are a few reasons to choose designer homewares when updating your living room:
Unique Pieces
Opting for designer homewares that aren't mass manufactured gives you the advantage of having a living room with tastefully chosen homeware pieces that will leave guests wondering where you shop. Whether you opt for a statement vase, stylish art prints or an ultramodern lamp table, designer homeware pieces often transcend the trends of the season and become focal points of the room. These investment pieces will enhance the aesthetic of your living room for years to come and can make your home feel like an extension of your personality.
Designed With Integrity
Designer homewares are often manufactured in the country they will be sold in, and making a purchase allows you to contribute to the local economy. To differentiate themselves from mass manufacturers of homeware products, companies selling designer homewares often focus on creating high-quality products made with luxurious yet durable materials, such as flax linen. There's also a focus on sustainability and utilising local or recycled materials.
Neutral Colour Palette
While it's true that many designer homeware brands focus on bold colour combinations that add a subtle shock value to their pieces, there are also many brands that focus on producing homewares with a neutral colour palette. This enables your chosen homewares to fit into the colour scheme of your living room no matter how many times you change it, which makes these products more appealing and affordable over the long-term, and you won't find yourself stuck with certain colours just because they are on trend at the time you purchased them.
If you're considering updating your living room with designer homewares, peruse a few brands to get an idea of the styles and price points available. You can also ask your local designer homeware business to recommend products that meet your needs and complement any existing décor in your living room that you don't plan on changing.
