Pick a style that fits your taste before you make your first purchase. Flip through magazines and search online to find out the latest trends. Are you a traditionalist with a deep respect for classic furniture designs, or do you love the clean lines of minimalistic contemporary furniture? You can always include a special accent piece in a different style, but the overall concept should be consistent.

2. Think About your Lifestyle

Desk And Chair

Consider how you will use your new home. Do you need a home office? Do you have frequent overnight guests and a need for a sofa bed? Are you an empty nester with a desire for a high end sofa with delicate fabric? Pick the furniture that fits your tastes and your lifestyle.

3. Choose your Color Palette

Decorating around a cohesive color palette can do wonders for giving your home a coordinated look. If you want your furniture to last for several years, choose colors that will endure. Be inspired by the colors all around you in the area where you live. You might want to use neutrals for large furniture pieces like sofas and add color with accessories and artwork.

4. Buy the Right Furniture

Make sure your new furniture is practical for the way you live. Today, many furniture manufacturers offer modular and custom options to fit your needs. You may want to incorporate a few existing pieces into your new home decor like an accent table in good condition, artwork or a sentimental antique to bring character to your home.

5. Add Accent Furniture

Once you have figured out the basic living room, dining room and bedroom furniture, it's time to add accents. A stunning armoire that hides the TV in the living room or a delicate lingerie chest in the bedroom add style and express your personality. Don't be afraid to go over the top with a curvaceous chaise longue or an elaborate free-standing bar.
