Remodeling Your Home? Don’t Forget the Furniture & Appliances

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.

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).

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.

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.
