A new year is a time for new beginnings. For many residents of Sarasota those new beginnings could mean refurbishing their home or condos with brand-new furniture. The first of the year is actually a great time to go furniture shopping. Throughout most of the holidays all the shopping focus was on clothing, jewelry and electronic gadgets. Nobody was really paying attention to buying a new sofa or loveseat. Yet, all those furniture dealers need to get rid of their 2011 inventory to make room for the 2012 catalog. This could translate into some huge savings in all kinds of furniture.

As you head out to the furniture showrooms you also have the opportunity to switch up your current decoration scheme. Unless decorating is a hobby of yours you might not be aware of just how many distinct types of furniture designs there are to choose from. The most popular is what is referred to as traditional. This is the kind of furniture that is not going to stand out in terms of a Pacific design element but is practical in both form and function. Contemporary furniture is closer to modern furniture. The difference really comes down to a level of starkness and collar. With modern furniture you’ll find bolder colors and sharper design angles.

Another choice for furniture design would be to go with a historical approach such as Victorian, Art Deco or colonial. If these types of furniture designs strike your fancy you don’t necessarily have to spend big money getting original pieces. Instead, you’ll be able to find many great replicas of these styles. If you’re looking for something a bit more unique then you might want to go into the exotic realm of furniture buying.

This would cover types of furniture that fall into the tropical, Tuscany or Japanese type of designs. You could also spin the compass and opt for various American versions of furniture design that would be Southwest, coastal, southern or northern. Each of those zones has their own particular tastes. Finally, you could also buy furniture that would fall into the unusual category. This covers pieces that would be considered as shabby chic, retro or eclectic. In other words, anything goes!

Along with buying new furniture you might also want to revamp your carpets and drapes as well as whatever types of tchotchkes or other type of accents you have that bring personality to a room.

It will be easy to get caught up in the excitement of redecorating one or more rooms in your home but one detail you can’t forget about is getting rid of the old furniture. The best course of action to accomplish this task would be to hire a professional Sarasota furniture disposal crew like Junk King, who can show up with the right man power and truck space to take away all your old furniture. They’ll also be able to remove any other bulky items you might want to dispose of. Take full advantage of it big truck and manpower to help you clear out your garage or storage space. Once your new furniture is installed you’ll have the perfect excuse for a housewarming party redo!
