1) Purchase furniture that can be used in multiple settings. If necessary, you will want furniture that can work both as a desk and as a conference table. This saves money and time by allowing you to use one piece of furniture instead of two separate pieces for different purposes.
2) Inquire about furniture finance options before buying anything on credit or taking out a loan. Many retailers offer flexible financing options which allow you to make monthly payments over several years. This furniture may also be tax deductible.
3) When furniture shopping, always measure the furniture before you go to a store so that you know what will fit in the space you have for it. Also measure your furniture at home so there is no confusion as to what size furniture will fit into your new office space.
4) Give yourself plenty of time to find furniture that fits all of your criteria within an affordable price range. If necessary, this means not buying just because something "looks great" but doesn't meet all of your other requirements. In some cases this can mean having a temporary solution or multiple solutions if budget allows.
5) If possible, purchase furniture from a retailer who offers delivery and assembly services for their customers. This saves you the headache of purchasing furniture and having to find someone else to pick it up and install it for you. If furniture is not purchased online, this also saves you the time of finding furniture in a store and transporting it to your home yourself.
6) Make sure furniture works well with other furniture pieces that are currently in the office or will be brought into the office soon. You do not want pieces that may look good together but do not work well together, especially if they cannot be used at the same time due to space constraints.
7) Be sure furniture can be put together easily so you don't have to wait for someone else to build it while you are waiting on furniture at home or trying to get work done while sitting on boxes everyday. It helps if furniture is easy to assemble so employees can piece it together without hiring outside help.
8) Make furniture work with the existing office environment. If possible, try to fit furniture colors or designs with existing furniture colors and furniture styles with furniture you already have in the office. This makes your office more aesthetically pleasing and coordinates better for a professional appearance.
9) Try not to focus too much on personal preferences when purchasing furniture for the office. It is important that employees are able to get their work done efficiently while they sit at desks or conference tables remembered can help if furniture can be used in multiple settings
10) Do research on furniture quality among retailers before investing money in a piece of furniture. Some stores may offer slightly lower prices but slightly lower quality furniture while others may do the opposite, charging a little more but offering a furniture item that will last longer.
