A new home is always an event. But if you’ve spent every penny you’ve saved on buying or renting, you might not have any money left for furnishings. An unfurnished apartment doesn’t offer the comfort and relaxation of a real home but rather is a source of stress and tension.
Luckily, buying new furniture doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Comfy seating, desk, accessories, and even a bed or even dishes can be had for free or for a few cents, plus they don’t have to be ugly. You can combine the boho style, the retro style and the country style with old furniture. We will show you 5 ways to get beautiful things and turn them into interior design gems.
Have you ever heard of swapping before? It is about trading things you no longer need for something you want instead. The swap takes place either on Facebook, which has groups named after the place where the swap is taking place or at an event. The event organizer lets people know in advance how much and what each visitor can bring and can take things they can use in return.
Clothes are the most common barter item, but decorations and various household items follow closely. But swapping is just a matter of supply and demand. So, when you have something to offer, you might get exactly what you need. The basic rule of bartering is that the items offered should be functional, neat and in good condition. If they are not but still have value, let them know in advance.
