When do you save and when do you splurge? It’s a common question for those that just moved into a new home or are currently renovating. There are some home items that are really worth the investment, while others can do without the high cost. So where do you draw the line?
Your Lifestyle
Think about your lifestyle, the items you use often – essentially every single day. These items will get worn through faster and will need to last longer to make them worthwhile. These items can include your appliances or living room furniture.
If people sit on your sofa regularly, you’ll want one with quality upholstery so it can live through the constant movement and stay strong during the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
If you find you’re needing specialized laundry cycles like steam washing or heavy duty loads, it may benefit you, in the long run, to splurge on a laundry pair that offers these options. The same goes for your kitchen and dining area. If you come home with tons of groceries, tend to entertain over the holidays, or have a big family, it’ll be ideal to have appliances and furniture that can accommodate those things – especially since it’s something that likely won’t change.
