On a tight budget? Here are a few tricks you can use to furnish your apartment without spending an arm and a leg!
- Pick the Essentials:
What do you need at the moment? Don’t go overboard – buy the items you need now, and keep the rest for later. - Set a Monthly Budget:
Every month, set aside a budget for your furniture needs and stick to it. If you don’t need to buy something a specific month, then good for you; you can spurge on a night out with friends or a shopping expedition. - Look Around:
scour your city for furniture stores and visit a few shops before making a decision on buying something; usually stores have similar furniture items (especially basics) and will have a range of prices. Don’t be afraid to ask about sales too. - The Power of Social Media:
Join a few pages for the local community – you’ll be surprised at the number of people who are selling almost brand new items online. Bahrain has a very active renters market, so take advantage of that! - DIY:
There are many things that you can do on your own, especially when it comes to décor and accessories. Take the time and make a piece or two for the house; and then you can proudly show them off to your guests.
