Shopping Made Easy

Do you ever have difficulty shopping for that one particular home decor item? I find that many of my clients get stuck and can't figure out how to bring home that perfect lamp or rug. I have a philosophy that can help make it an easier process.

Recently I was shopping for a new rug for my home. I had brought home two rugs that weren't right. I probably could have eliminated them at the store, but sometimes you just have to try it out in the space before you can decide. I finally found the perfect one recently as I happened to be walking by it in the store, not even thinking about looking for the rug. That seems to happen, "when you least expect it" as they say.

This time I knew it was right. How did I know? It fit my new found shopping criteria; now I ask myself these four questions;

1. Is it the right size?
2. Is it the right shape?
3. Is it the right color(s)
4. Is it in your price range?

This rug for me fit the bill on site, and I knew it was the right rug even before I got home. The answers to all four of my questions were yes! So, I knew I had it right. Sure enough, when I got home and unrolled the carpet, my family all agreed it was the perfect fit! Yea! Job accomplished! This form of questioning can be applied to all home decor items, by the way, not just rugs.

Happy shopping!
