SOME POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS ONLINE STORES GUIDE:

 

  1. Save or bookmark this page so you can have it for future references.
  2. The list begins with online shops that are great for several categories. Then the list is then broken into categories for specific items.
  3. I have tried to rank the stores by price. Please note that the stores have a range of prices and sales, so don’t be so quick to dismiss a store based on its position. There are also different versions of financing for most stores.
  4. Several of the listed stores offer free design services. Keep in mind that if you intend to use your space for a long time, its is an investment in yourself.(If you really need a low commitment option for space planning services visit  fiver for services as low as $10.)

“Our spaces impact our health, behavior and happiness. They shape our sleep patterns and stress levels; our diets and moods; and our physical fitness, job performance, immune responses and social interactions.”

ORGANIZING AND MANAGING YOUR PROJECT:

Shop with intension; Impulse buying can be very costly. It's key to have a mindful method to approach the shopping process. You can use any organization tools you are comfortable with. Here are some suggestions that will help you organize your entire project in Trello:

  1. Create a new board on Trello and give your project a name.
  2. Create new Trello lists. Some suggestions are: resources, to do, doing, done, inspiration. 
  3. Create new Trello cards under your Trello lists. For example under resources add pictures of items you like, including their list price, pros/cons, and measurements on one card, so it's easy to compare items. Trello cards under resources can also have contacts for designers, contractors etc. and a card with your before pictures. Your inspiration list can have your moodboards, concept pictures, drawings etc.
  4. Browse online shops when you have time to truly research to avoid feeling rushed and to lower your frustration levels. 
  5. Consider many things. Read reviews, compare, ponder, order samples, visit showrooms and interact with similar textures, smells, sounds, where possible.
  6. Move the Trello cards from recourses to the to do list if you have decided to move ahead with it.
  7. Start by purchase very few things: only ones that are an absolute "YES!".
  8. Its helpful to place and item in your cart for 24 hours before actually purchasing. It gives you the chance to process your decisions.
  9. Move your Trello cards onto the next list till its in the done list! Feel free to add tasks and reminders as the project moves along.

I encourage you to organize your Trello board in away that best serves you. Watch this video sample.  Be selective, but don't hold out for perfection. A never-ending search for the "perfect" item is exhausting and keeps you stuck.

 

Happy Shopping 😊
