Decorating your home for a lifetime, not just a lifestyle

You may have heard the term “fast fashion”.

It refers to garments that are mass-produced and sold in high quantities, that follow fast-moving trends. Fast fashion is essentially not built to last. Fast furniture is the newest buzzword and follows a similar concept.

We all want to follow trends, but like always trends are in and out, sometimes even before you get the chance to buy into them. While everyone should purchase furniture they love, it’s worth asking yourself whether you will still love it in 10 years. Will you still love the colour? Will you still love the shape?

Berkowitz have four tips on decorating our homes for a lifetime, not just a lifestyle:

Buy timeless and stylish (versus the latest trend)

Whether you are decking out the entire house, or just want to add a few simple touches to elevate a room – try choosing classic and timeless styles that won’t go out of fashion.

People are now keener than ever to invest in timeless, beautiful, quality items.

One piece we can’t get enough of lately is the IMG Nordic 60 Recliner (right). Fully customisable in a range of different colours and priced from only $1,999 at Berkowitz, this is the timeless and stylish piece we think you should get your hands on.

Know exactly what you are after and don’t compromise

Before you think about buying new furniture, first ask yourself if you really need it.

And if you do, don’t feel you have to rush into it. Just because you find a piece that meets some of your criteria, continue to do some shopping around.

Allow yourself some time to get clear on exactly what you are after, something that meets all your criteria like style, quality, size, budget, and materials.

Buy for life

What happened to the prized family heirlooms that were passed down in our family for generations?

That beautiful, antique dresser your grandparents would talk about for hours, or the furniture in our homes that we can pass down to our kids?

Invest in quality, solid furniture that you fall in love with and will create memories with, that you will love for years to come.

After all, when your children move out of home, isn’t it comforting to know they will have a piece of timeless, quality furniture to cherish for years to come?

Before you buy, ask yourself where the furniture will end up

There is an abundance of furniture thrown away each year.

Before you purchase new furniture, it’s good to consider recyclability and biodegradability.

Furniture made from solid materials, like sustainably sourced timber, metal, or glass.
