Budget furnishing: second hand



We hope you all got some inspiration from our latest post! Our next tip for furnishing your house on a budget is to make use of second hand furniture. Every country has its own website for second hand furniture, in the Netherlands we have Marktplaats.

Second hand is much cheaper then new furniture and many times you can buy something unique! Sometimes, you have an idea in your mind but you can’t find in the stores, then you have to take a visit to a second hand furniture website. You can’t imagine what people offer for incredible low prices! However, searching on a second hand website can take a lot of time. Every day, thousands of new products are being presented. You need to decide what you are looking for in what color etcetera. If you want something specific you have to take a short look every day. Note that when you find something, call or e-mail the seller instead of making an offer on the website. Offers are often being ignored because sellers don’t know if it’s serious.

Many people buy their stuff on these websites. Sometimes it’s great quality stuff and it can be very unique. Moreover, people won’t even notice you bought second hand furniture if you don’t want people to know! It’s also possible to combine second hand furniture with new furniture.

Take a look and have fun!
