Taking on a remodeling project is a common step for many homeowners (1). Remodeling your home is a project that often signals a fresh new start.  But while you're envisioning new layouts or paint colors, it might also be a good time to think about the option of updating your furniture and appliances. This guide will help you explore pieces that suit your home. It will also show how lease-to-own options, like those from Acima Leasing, can help expand your shopping access without using credit*.  

Why Remodeling Often Means Rethinking Your Home Essentials 

New floors, walls, or open-concept layouts can sometimes create a contrast with older furniture and appliances. This contrast might inspire you to consider updates that better suit your refreshed space. Today’s appliances and furniture offer more than style. They can make everyday life more convenient and efficient. Choosing pieces that fit your lifestyle can help your home feel more comfortable, functional, and cohesive. 

Room-by-Room Guide: Choosing What Works Where 

Kitchen 

Functionality is one of several features to consider when planning your kitchen. Think of kitchen design upgrades, energy-efficient appliances, and layout ideas that enhance your cooking habits. For example, compact appliances can work smoothly in smaller kitchens. Measuring carefully can help ensure there’s enough space for ventilation and door swings (2). 

Take a Closer Look: 

Living Room 

A living room can strike a balance between comfort and ease with the right pieces in place. Whether it’s accent furniture, a cozy sectional, stylish chairs, or a media center, each element helps create a welcoming space for relaxing nights and everyday living. 

Take a Closer Look: 

Bedroom 

Choosing a high-quality mattress and a coordinating bedroom set can help create a relaxing space. Exploring bedroom set ideas is a great way to add even more comfort and style, helping your bedroom feel like a true place to unwind. 

Take a Closer Look: 

Laundry Room 

Laundry areas are often overlooked, but it's worth taking a closer look at how the space works and whether newer machines could help simplify your daily routine. Washer and dryer lifespans can influence your upgrade timing (3). Stackable machines or side-by-side units each offer different advantages, so think about what setup works best with your routine. 

Take a Closer Look: 

Dining Area 

It can be helpful to think about how your dining table brings together form, function, and fit. The size of your room matters. How often you host guests can also shape your choice. Even how your dining area flows into the rest of your home can help guide you toward a table that fits your needs and style. 

Take a Closer Look: 

Outdoor Space 

Outdoor areas, such as patios, can contribute to the overall feel of your home. Thoughtfully chosen deck furniture, durable outdoor pieces, and inviting porch setups can help you make the most of these areas. One feature to consider is patio furniture with built-in storage, which can help enhance outdoor living (4). Grills designed for outdoor hosting can also add to the functionality and enjoyment of your space.
