A: You embrace the power of 21st Century cyberspace and you go online; and Furniture.com is an informative site to start at if you don’t know where to start.
Disclosure: I was contacted by associates of Furniture.com who found my blog and thought my readers would like to know about the site, and after reviewing the site I was pleased they reached out to me.
I solemnly swear and affirm that I was not told what to write, nor is this a paid endorsement, beyond paying it forward to anyone who benefits from this information, which I think many people in rural pockets of America can find something of value at Furniture.com, along with any homemaker who is new to furnishing a home and wants to learn more about what goes into it, or any introvert who loves to shop in privacy online rather than out in the public with gossipy locals eyeing your buys during cold and flu season.
Whether it’s room furnishings, home décor accessories, organization and storage solutions, or design and trending style tips, the website covers a lot of ground for all areas of a home, including easy-to-read guides that explain home design basics; like this section on rugs that gives information about sizes, styles, materials, shapes, colors, and even how to keep rugs in place.
Don’t Forget: Having a good-sized rug at the main entrance helps to lessen dirt and contaminants from spreading around the house, especially when outdoor shoes are changed for indoor shoes. Read my blog post about Clean Home Hacks & The Etiquette of House Shoes to learn more.
An entrance area rug does not have to look utilitarian even though it serves a useful function; and Furniture.com features a vast selection of rugs in a range of prices for folks in search of more stylish options than what home improvement stores offer in a rural area, and more modern options than what are available in small stores that carry styles from another era that don’t match what young people want in their homes today.
The website is also easy to navigate and not overwhelming or difficult to search through, considering how much information can be found on it; not to mention all the shopping people can do from it as well, which is ideal for introverts who don't want to deal with people more than they have to, or anyone who doesn't have transportation to leave home in a rural area now the delivery can come to them direct. There are even pages that let people shop by color, style, and room; the pages are informative with descriptions that are easy to understand for anyone new to the world of design.
I don’t want to know what living in rural America was like before the internet and e-commerce existed, and I hope to never find out, knock on wood paneling. People in large urban areas, of which I used to be one, may not know how extremely impactful e-commerce is in rural areas; while main street shops loathe it because it forces competition that they don’t know how to compete with, it ultimately changes lives for the better when working class individuals in rural areas can get the products they need and want without having to settle for unsatisfactory service or unappealing products.
Rural people need their money to go further for them than just the local economy when the local economy is waning and not giving back to the people who give to it; and I am not ashamed to say as a rural resident that rural people should go online if that’s what it takes to bring happiness to their homes when the local options are far under par. Fun Fact: Residents in rural areas, such as Sequim, have thousands of dollars less in annual income than people working in urban areas in the same state, as I documented here.
When it comes to being budget friendly, Furniture.com has plenty to choose from for all budgets; the trick of course is to budget for the furniture and plan ahead instead of buying it on an impulse when there is no money for it.
A home is worth investing in with quality goods that add comfort and luxury, so long as the cost of the goods doesn’t take money away from the necessities that make a home function, like electricity and groceries.
When money is invested to make home better every day, instead of being spent on a costly weekend at a hotel to escape the drudgery of a messy home, it’s well worth it in the long run to make home your hotel away from home by cleaning it, investing in it, and budgeting for products that add value to the lives in the home every day.
Thank you to the associates of Furniture.com who found my blog and reached out to share information; links have also been added to my Homemaking Hub page. I invite readers in search of home furnishing solutions to visit the site and see what it’s all about; even if it’s just to search through the pages to get ideas from the comfort of home at 1:00 a.m., it’s worth visiting Furniture.com if you never have.
