Shopping for furniture can be an exciting endeavor, whether you're furnishing a new home, redecorating a room, or simply upgrading your current setup. To make the most out of your furniture shopping experience, here are four essential things you should do before you come to Old Brick Furniture:
-
Measure!
Before you start browsing for furniture, it's crucial to measure the space where the new pieces will go. Plus, don’t forget to measure your existing furniture. This step is often overlooked but is incredibly important to ensure that your new furniture fits perfectly and doesn't overwhelm or underutilize your space. Measure the length, width, and height of the area where each furniture piece will be placed, taking into account any architectural features like windows or doors that could affect placement.
-
Take Photos!
Take photos of your room and bring them with you – this will help the Old Brick team better understand your space and its needs. No need to print photos – just having them on your smartphone is perfect!
-
Set a Budget
Setting a budget is essential to avoid overspending and to prioritize your furniture needs. Determine how much you're willing to spend on each piece or for the entire room. Remember to factor in additional costs such as delivery fees, assembly charges, or any accessories you may need. Having a budget in mind will help you narrow down your choices and focus on finding furniture that fits both your style preferences and financial constraints.
At Old Brick, we offer a diverse selection of in-stock furniture to suit every taste and budget. Each piece is categorized as Good, Better, Best. This is to help you easily find the perfect fit based on value, price, and quality.

Better: Moderately priced and stylish, our better furniture offers solid construction and functional designs with some custom options.
