The design tastes much better

Although the craze for buying local is forging a place in the lives of Quebec consumers , what about the purchase of furniture and decoration in particular? Some shop in supermarkets for simplicity and to save time. Many simply cannot imagine the possibility of buying local with all the needs on their list. Here are some tips for moving towards a living, unique and Quebec living space.

Why prioritize design?

When you return to a restaurant or bar because you liked the vibe, it definitely isn't since it's like any other space you've stepped foot in before. Several factors can influence the atmosphere you liked, but there is often one predominant element. For example, at Taverne Atlantic , although the whole is magnificent, it is the lights above the bar that challenge us.

Imagine if you could redirect that feeling of well-being at home by following the same principle. Choosing something unique will set the tone for your room and save you the question, “Did you get this from Ikea?” when you welcome guests. As it will be pleasant for you to stay at home, your budget for outings will thank you!

Where to start?

Of course, there is beautiful furniture in the supermarkets! However, some consumers may find themselves there by default, not knowing other places to buy designer items. However, there are several depending on your location. The physical stores of Signé Local in Brossard and Montreal , as well as the virtual store are examples of this.

We have exemplary creators in Quebec, who deserve to be known. The Signé Local directory , available online, is an excellent resource to avoid the unfortunate situation of knowing them too late.

Think minimalist

As most of us do not live in huge castles, it is not crazy to think that we can manage to change the atmosphere of a room by placing a small design item there. With this in mind, the budget allocated to the development of our living space will be more easily respected.

Little by little, you will discover the soul that emanates from your home with these little additions. In short, as all good books on minimalism teach you, prioritize quality over quantity.

Stay tuned for promotions

It's true, when shopping for designer furniture, it happens that you fall in love with an item deemed too expensive. Patience then becomes our best ally.

Subscribe to the pages of these shops that amaze you so much. Visit them regularly, physically and virtually. If you have kept this item in mind for so long, you will appreciate it more than what you spontaneously add to your basket. In furniture, demonstrator models also remain a good option to save money while filling our space with the coveted piece of furniture.

And the environmental footprint?

Do not hesitate to look for the model in the second-hand market. A craftsman would rather see his object have a second life than see his future buyer turn to a piece of furniture made on an assembly line. In addition to only having traveled a limited number of kilometres, the recovered furniture will once again save the environment!

The design helps to make your living space warm and is a way to reflect your personality. In an era where the trend is to leave the walls white, the furniture plays an essential role in the expression of this personality. When it comes to where I live, along with wall art and table art, design art is my favorite!
