Is It Cheaper to Move Your Furniture or Buy New?
If you're wondering whether it's cheaper to move your old furniture or buy all-new pieces, keep reading. We'll help you assess the costs and benefits of each option so that you can make an informed decision.
Is It Practical To Move Your Furniture?
It's not always worth it to move your old furniture with you, especially because it's more likely to break during the move. If something does happen to it, you'll have to spend money on new furniture right away and leave the broken pieces at your curb.
Ensure that your old furniture will physically fit in your new home by taking measurements and planning ahead. You don't want to be stuck trying to figure out how to make a king-sized bed frame work in an apartment bedroom. Consider the style of your old furniture vs. the design aesthetic of your new space. A traditional armoire might clash with a more modern apartment.
What’s the dollar value of your furniture?
Only move your furniture if it is high-quality and expensive--something that will last a long time. Keep in mind, however, that just because something cost you a lot of money in the past doesn't mean it will bring you joy now. Instead, focus on what would make you happy in your new space and compare that to what is actually affordable before making any decisions.
Does your furniture have personal value?
Although sentimental value is important, sometimes practicality needs to win. If you're soft-hearted about your personal belongings like furniture or other items, they may evoke happy memories of the past. However, when it comes to moving costs, the emotional value can't always outweigh the more logical and helpful move.Although you might be attached to some pieces of furniture in your home, others aren't as important. Assess each piece of furniture and decide if it has any sentimental value to you. Most likely, you will only see one or two items as havingsentimental worth while the rest are simply practical purchases.
Moving Old Furniture Vs. Buying New Furniture: Other Considerations
Although the initial cost of moving your furniture may be high, it will likely be cheaper than purchasing an entirely new set of furniture. Delivery costs for furniture are usually quite expensive, so you would save money in the long run by just moving your existing furniture.
Should I buy new furniture before I move?
Paying to have furniture moved can be costly, and there is always the potential for damage. To save money and avoid any hassle, it’s best to replace items after moving into your new residence.
