Even well-made, quality furniture will need replacement eventually. Knowing when to shop for new furniture is a must, both to ensure you and your family are comfortable, and that your home is appealing from a visual perspective. Below are signs of when to replace various pieces of furniture in your house.

How to Know When to Replace Furniture

1. Bed

For children, you’ll likely need a bed replacement as your kids get older and outgrow their previous mattresses. As for your bed, pay attention to any creaks you hear getting into and out of it each day. This could signal structural damage, which calls for a replacement. Additionally, replace sagging or mishappen mattresses promptly.

2. Office Chair

If you have a home office, your office chair is an essential piece. Comfort is crucial, and the older your office chair is, the less support it will offer your back and other areas of your body. In terms of looks, office chairs with worn or fraying upholstery create a shoddy appearance in your home.

3. Dining Room Table

Dining room tables are often wooden, which means they can develop scratches and other imperfections. Even if the table is structurally sound, you might be turned off by its diminished aesthetic appeal. You might also find that your current table size is unsuitable for a growing family. Consider replacing the table with something more sizable.

4. Dresser

Drawers in wood dressers can warp when exposed to excess moisture. In this case, it might be challenging to open and close drawers easily. Much like wooden dining room tables, dressers can also get dents and dings.

5. Sofa

Sofas are all about comfort, so address sagging cushions, broken springs, and decreased back support right away. If the fabric is faded or stained, a replacement sofa can significantly impact the look of your living room.
