Identify your personal style.
Is it casual, contemporary, country, traditional or eclectic? Think about your wardrobe, your car, your magazines and favorite movies. What makes you feel comfortable and good about yourself?
Examine your preferences.
Make a list of your favorite colors, textures and patterns. Do you prefer bold colors or pastels? Solids, stripes or plaids? Soft, light fabric covers or rich tapestries? Consider your lifestyle. Do you plan to have a family or already have children? Pets? Are you planning to move soon?
Prioritize your purchases
Decide which items of furniture you want or need most, and buy those first. Then build around them.
Determine your budget
No matter how much or how little you want to spend, you can find good values that suit your style in any price category.
Budget your time to suit your shopping style
Do you enjoy doing lots of research and browsing, or are you an on-the-spot buyer? Shopping for furniture can be as easy or involved as you want it to be.
Explore available resources
Look to home programs, books, magazines, catalogs, Web sites and furniture showrooms to provide inspiration. Keep a scrapbook of furniture styles you like.
