Moving to Arizona? Wait Before Replacing All Your Furniture

Relocation often creates an understandable urge to start fresh.

But purchasing an entire houseful of furniture before you understand your new home can be expensive and frustrating.

Start with measurements.

Then consider how you expect to use the rooms—but leave yourself room to change your mind.

Southern Arizona's outdoor lifestyle may mean your patio becomes much more important than you anticipated. A spare bedroom might work better as an office, craft room or den. A large furniture arrangement from your previous home may not suit the traffic pattern of the new one.

Martha’s Tip

Prioritize the pieces you genuinely need immediately.

Then give yourself permission to live in the home before completing every room.

Your new home should reflect the life you discover in Southern Arizona—not simply recreate the house you left behind.
