Furnish on a budget

Start with the essentials.

5 min read

You don't need to furnish everything at once.

Ideas

  • Start with a bed, a place to sit and a place to eat
  • Ask family and friends for things they no longer use
  • Look at secondhand stores and local marketplaces
  • Measure rooms and doorways first
  • Buy a new mattress; check secondhand furniture for pests
