7 Home Items Design Pros Always Buy During Major Sales
20.02.2024 - 11:45 / thespruce.com / Sarah Lyon
When major sales roll around, designers know what kinds of items are worth scooping up and always make it a priority to invest in certain essentials for the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and more.
Below, the pros share seven types of items that they always make sure to purchase when the price is right. Keep your eyes peeled for these picks so that you can spruce up your space without breaking the bank.
Given that kitchenware is prone to breakage, it's never a bad idea to replenish your set of plates and bowls when a sale comes around.
«Every three to four years, I go big and change all of my plates and bowls,» Julieta Alvarez, the founder of Julieta Alvarez Interiors, says.
Most often, she turns to Crate and Barrel and West Elm to shop for these items. Owning a matching set of dinnerware will also make hosting a breeze and help you create stunning tablescapes.
Becky Carbone, the founder of Becky Carbone Interiors, likes to keep her eye out for well-made benches, ottomans, cubes, and chairs with cushions on sale.
«A good purchase price helps offset the cost of the fabric and reupholstery labor,» she says. Look for pieces with great bones that will be sure to stand the test of time.
Take all future gatherings to the next level by stocking up on entertaining pieces that will catch your guests's attention. Sallie Lord, the founder of Grey Hunt Interiors, will use sales to purchase serving dishes, bowls, dessert plates, and appetizer trays.
«They're great for entertaining or for displaying fruit,» she says. Nice plates and trays can even look beautifully styled on the bookshelf when not in use.
