Furnishing a new home in Saskatoon is exciting, but it can also be a financial challenge. To help Saskatoon homebuyers and sellers create a stylish, comfortable living space on a budget, I’ve compiled 35 practical tips. These strategies will help you furnish your home affordably while keeping it personal and functional.
1. Start with a Plan
List the essential furniture items you need for each room.
Focus on must-haves like beds, sofas, and dining tables before non-essentials like decor.
2. Set a Budget
Decide how much you want to spend overall and for each room.
Avoid impulse purchases by sticking to your budget.
3. Shop Second-Hand
Explore Saskatoon’s thrift stores, consignment shops, and online marketplaces like Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace for gently used furniture.
4. Hit Garage and Estate Sales
Local sales in Saskatoon neighborhoods often have hidden gems at bargain prices.
5. Join Local Buy-and-Sell Groups
Connect with others in Saskatoon through social media groups to find affordable or even free furniture.
6. Repurpose and Upcycle
Refresh old furniture with a coat of paint or new upholstery for a budget-friendly makeover.
7. Shop Discount Outlets
Saskatoon’s outlet stores often offer overstocked or discontinued items at reduced prices.
8. Wait for Sales
Take advantage of Boxing Day, Black Friday, and seasonal clearance events for major savings.
Additional Tips
Focus on Quality: Invest in durable key pieces to save money in the long run.
Consider Multi-Functional Furniture: Items like sofa beds or tables with storage maximize value.
DIY Projects: Create your own decor to add a personal touch and save money.
Be Patient: Wait for the right deal rather than rushing to buy everything at once.
