How Much Will It Cost to Furnish My Whole House?
We’ve seen it happen a few times where a client spends over $1 Million to build their dream home, yet doesn’t want to spend the money on furniture. Instead, they bring in their dated furniture and are disappointed that their new home doesn’t feel as special or cohesive as they’d hoped. Furniture and Lighting are just as important as the finishes of your home because it really completes the look and style that you’re going for. We’re not suggesting that you toss everything and start over.
