There are
some timeless investment furniture pieces which can be placed in any design
layout, from any era, and not only do they blend in with the décor, but they
also add some character to the interiors. Those pieces are very rare however
and they also have to follow a certain theme to work properly, like that
popular, retro leather office chair (the one littered with sunken grooves)
which looks like it belongs in a classic, luxury-design study room.
If you're
already heavily stocked-up on investment furniture pieces, there are still ways
through which you can freshen those pieces up though, but here's why investment
furniture will eventually bore you to death:
Investment pieces are usually very expensive
and are kept for long periods of time
While you
can get some fabulous home designer products at affordable prices, investment
pieces are usually very costly, since one naturally ‘invests’ in these larger pieces
with the aim of keeping them for life. Investment pieces may fit in with the interiorwall décor and art, as well as other design accessories, at their time of
purchase and introduction into the home, but time will eventually catch up with
those ageing designs and the entire balance of your interiors can get thrown
off. You will eventually get bored with your investment furniture, but you are
forced to stick with it because you paid so much for it, even in the wake of it
gradually becoming style-outdated.
Sometimes
investment furniture can be so expensive that you become rather reluctant to
really enjoy it, existing as more of a decoration than actual, functional
furniture.
Investment
furniture can often be very prominent and dominating
Even in the
event that you do eventually get bored with your investment pieces, due to
those large and more prominent pieces lagging behind the emerging evolutionary
design trends, there's not much you can physically do to the furniture itself because
of the sheer size and prominence. Remember that often, home designer product
ranges include mirrors and other matching design accessories like chandeliers, so
redecorating every now and then may not be very practical, as unfair as that
may be since design trends to tend to evolve quite rapidly.
Beating the
Inevitable Bore
While investment
furniture will eventually bore you to death, there is no escaping some of the
more traditional investment furniture pieces, like the old dining room table,
the living room sofa and perhaps some armchairs and a patio set. Fortunately
though, with the availability of fabulous designer home products at affordable
prices, accent furniture pieces and design accessories can be deployed to
accentuate the investment furniture and act as a constant source of refreshment
for what can become a very redundant look.
Accent
furniture pieces offer a very wide variety of styling trends, with the likes of
table lamps and other design accessories very easily updating the look and feel
induced by the larger, more permanent investment furniture pieces. In this way,
that inevitable investment furniture bore can be hedged against and you never
have to surrender to it.
