7 Must Decor Investment Home Pieces To Spend More On

When it comes to decorating your home there are some main investment decor pieces you should spend more on. Not every budget should be spread out equally for all things. Here are my top investment decor pieces you should spend that little extra on.

Investment Pieces Home – Where To Spend Your Money?

Piece #1 – Bed

We spend a good proportion of our lives here. Your bed takes up a good amount of space in your bedroom and is more than likely the first thing you see. It’s the focal point of your bedroom. Getting a good bed goes hand in hand with getting the best mattress you can too.

Decide what size bed is comfortable for you and your partner. And make sure the bed doesn’t take over the whole bedroom. And think about what material is going to work for you. Is it going to be upholstered? Is fabric or leather better?

If you’re short on bedroom space, do you need a bed with storage? Your bed will stay with you for years, so make sure you’re happy with it.

Piece #2 – Sofa

The sofa is the next big piece on the list. Next to your bed is another place that’s used for relaxation, shared among friends and family who come and visit. Determine what sofa style and configuration is going to work for you. Do you entertain a lot? What size can fit through your doors?

A sectional sofa might be ideal for seating more people or having a more inclusive setting. Comfort is the key factor. What is the depth for ultimate lounging? Is the sofa easy to get in and out of for older people who may come and visit? Go and test out as many sofas as you can before buying.

You don’t want to be spending money on a brand-new sofa every couple of years. It’s not worth the hassle.

Piece #3 – Dining Table

A dining table or breakfast area for where you eat and gather. Our tables are used for other activities too. Think about how many people you need to sit at your table. Do you need it to be extendable if you like hosting?

If you have children a glass table might not be your first choice. What size is going to work for you, on an everyday basis? Or is the dining table only going to be used on special occasions? What style and shape table is suitable for your space? Rustic, polished, pedestal?

A good quality dining table will last you many years, so think long-term when buying your table.

Piece #4 – Lighting

Lighting is another important piece to invest in. The lighting in your home makes a huge difference. It might be a statement light fixture as a main decorative piece. Highlight your main focal pieces and areas with spotlights or task lighting.

Think about the size, weight, and function of the light. Is it decorative? Or is it to highlight an object? There should be different levels of lighting in each room, so you don’t have to splurge on every lighting fixture.

Piece #5 – An Area Rug

Rugs ground different sections and zone your areas. They add comfort, warmth and reduce noise levels when on different floors in the house. What a lot of people are surprised about is the price when it comes to rugs. There are of course cheaper options.

Depending on the price, size, and material you can be looking at an expensive purchase. But for a good quality rug, it is worth it. A hand-knotted woolen rug can take months to make and so labor intensity will reflect the price. And a good hide rug also will cost a pretty penny.

Generally speaking, get the best rug you can afford and make sure the area rug is the right size for your space. You might choose to spend more money on one area rug for the living room space and spend less on rugs in other spaces at home.

Piece #6 – Storage Built-Ins

There’s no such thing as too much storage in your home, especially with a growing family. Investing in built-in storage is something you’ll be glad for in the long run. Whether that’s creating built-in units in the living room or storage under the stairs.

Maximizing your storage space will make your life easier with organization and clutter. Even when it comes to selling your home, good storage options are a great selling point for potential buyers.

Piece #7 – A Personal Piece

Something personal to you. Your home reflects who you are and where you’ve been. An accessory, an art piece from your travels, or an antique puts your stamp on your home. A piece that is personal and unique is worth more cash investment.
