Reasons Why You Shouldn't Buy a Furniture Set
I would understand why purchasing a furniture set sounds appealing. You get everything done in one go and you don’t have to worry about the pieces not coordinating with one another.
I remember as a child I had a bedroom from Leon’s, I honestly adored it at the time as it was white and pretty. But now that I design and decorate homes professionally, buying a furniture set is the last thing I would do, and here’s why:
VISUAL APPEAL
When you purchase a furniture set, there is an instant loss of interest in the room because everything looks the same. When you have different furniture pieces that are contrasting and complimenting one another, you have more to look at resulting in much more visual appeal.
AN INVESTMENT
Down the road, when the time comes to update your space, if you have individual furniture pieces, you can update slowly with a few pieces here and there. But when you have a set, it becomes a lot harder to do this. So, in terms of investment, you’re better off having buying different furniture pieces individually.
MORE PERKS
When you mix furniture, you also have the opportunity to merge your more expensive pieces with your lower budget items, and it becomes a lot harder for anyone to tell. This also gives you the opportunity to mix design styles as well. Perhaps you love a mostly traditional room but want some elements of modernism for your living room, this can be easily done when you mix decor and furnishings.
Just look at the vast difference in visual appeal between these two rooms, there really is no question which one your eye gravitates towards more.

In the end, when a home mixes individual furniture pieces, you can tell a lot of thought and expression was put into the design, and that’s what makes it so much more curated and beautiful.
