Affordable Ways To Furnish Your Log Cabin

If you have invested in a log cabin, you may not have a huge furniture budget to make it feel like a truly homely and welcoming space. However, it is still very possible to furnish your cabin well on a budget. Here are a few tips!

• Look for outlet stores
  • Many major furniture retailers have outlet stores, where they sell end of range items, ex-display items, or items with slight defects at very good discounted rates. Any flaws are often hardly noticeable, and you can pick up some very good bargains.

• Go DIY
  • If you are handy with a toolkit, consider making a few items yourself. Even if you are a novice to furniture making, there are loads of easy-to-follow step by step guides on You Tube to offer some inspiration.
  • Cheap wood can be sourced from builder’s yards, which can look just as good as new with a coat of varnish or paint. Perfect for building a set of shelves, or even a table and chairs if you are ambitious!
    
    
• Upcycle and repurpose old items
  • There are loads of ways to repurpose items for furniture. Wooden pallets, which are often available cheaply from builder’s yards, can be sanded down, painted or varnished, and stacked together to make a handy table.
  • Charity furniture shops, car boot sales, and online sites such as eBay are great for tracking down cheap used furniture, which can be given a new lease of life with new handles, reupholstery, or just a coat of chalk paint.
    
    
• Keep an eye out for discounts and offers
  • Even the major furniture retailers have some great sales and deals, such as 0% finance, which allows you to spread the cost of the purchase over a period of months or years. Boxing Day sales are also a great time to bag a bargain.
