〔Moving into a New Home〕Where Did You Get Your Furniture?
I think many brides start living together with their partners during the wedding preparation period.*
It's a time when expenses for weddings and moving are high, but it’s definitely the long-awaited life together with someone you love♡
It's the heart of a girl to want to furnish a room with stylish and cute furniture to live a comfortable and happy life♡
However, even though there is a bit more financial leeway with living together, the budget for furniture is still limited...
Therefore, it’s important to find a good interior within the limited budget at ≪which furniture store≫♡
So, this time, I will introduce five specialty stores that handle furniture and interiors,
and thoroughly explain the merits of each store and the notable items that can be purchased there for weddings.*
Brides who are about to move should refer to this article♩
Furniture and Interior Store 1: Nitori
First up is Nitori, famous for its catchphrase "More than the price."*
The appeal of Nitori, which designs, manufactures, and sells its own furniture, is above all the low prices!
Any piece of furniture is usually cheaper by several thousand to tens of thousands of yen compared to other brands, so it's recommended for couples looking to save money to start with Nitori.*
Moreover, the variety of furniture designs at Nitori ranges from simple to elaborate, making it enjoyable to choose♡
They also sell sets of furniture and bedding, so it's a popular choice for those who aren’t good at coordinating things themselves.*
What's Noteworthy at Nitori is the Rainbow Tumbler!
A currently popular item at Nitori is the Rainbow Tumbler, a cup that appears rainbow-colored.*
When you pour clear water into this Rainbow Tumbler, the water transforms into a rainbow color! It's like magic♡
The fact that it can be purchased for just 370 yen is another delightful point unique to Nitori♩
Furniture and Interior Store 2: Muji
Next is Muji, where the term "simple" fits perfectly.*
Muji furniture is characterized by functional and stylish designs without unnecessary elements♩
I actually own a bed and sofa from there, and I love how beautifully they are shaped and how timeless the design is♡
Additionally, like Nitori, Muji's prices are relatively reasonable, which is also a plus.*
This brand has many fans among women and men, so if you say, "Let's choose furniture at Muji!" your husband will probably be happy too♩
What's Noteworthy at Muji is the Acrylic Frame!
A very popular interior item among brides at Muji right now is the Acrylic Frame.*
It’s trending to create a DIY wedding certificate by placing pressed flowers between two transparent panels and writing your vows on it♡
Of course, using it to put photos in as a photo frame is also a recommended way to utilize it♩
The price for an A4 size is 1,400 yen.
Furniture and Interior Store 3: IKEA
Next up is IKEA, a furniture retail store originating from Sweden.*
IKEA furniture features a simple yet stylish design unique to Northern Europe♡
It’s wonderful to experience a casual atmosphere that you can't find in Japanese brands!
In addition, its affordable prices and good after-sales service are attractive features of IKEA.*
However, all furniture is sold only as materials, so you must assemble it yourself..!
If you have a partner who enjoys DIY or is physically strong, that’s a big plus♡
What's Noteworthy at IKEA is the 8-Sided Photo Frame!
At IKEA, a must-have item is the 8-sided photo frame that can hold 9 photos at once.*
Recently, many brides have been seen displaying it at their wedding welcome spaces♡
After the ceremony, you can showcase childhood photos, pictures from when you were dating, and wedding photos in your home, which is appealing♩
The price is 999 yen!
Furniture and Interior Store 4: Francfranc
Next is Francfranc, popular among girls who love cute things.*
Francfranc is famous for small items like stationery and photo frames, but they also carry furniture, interiors, and daily goods♩
There are plenty of furniture designs that appeal to the heart of a girl, being gorgeous and cute♡
Particularly recommended at Francfranc are kitchen items.*
From tableware to cooking utensils, they offer a wide range of lovely and practical products!
There are many items that make you want to put in the effort to cook every day, so check it out!
Furniture and Interior Store 5: Shimachu Homes
Finally, I’ll introduce Shimachu Homes, commonly known as ShimaHo.*
Shimachu Homes is characterized by having both furniture specialty shops and home centers.*
That's why they have a rich selection of home decor like bedding, tables, curtains, as well as gardening goods, leisure goods, and DIY items♩
The price range is broad, from reasonable to high-end, so it suits couples of all ages.*
You often hear stories of people impulse-buying necessary materials for wedding DIY when visiting Shimachu♩
