About Us

You deserve to feel happy, comfortable, peaceful, and productive in your home, and one of the best ways to do that is to furnish it with pieces that work for you! Home furnishings are major purchases, and there’s a lot to consider before investing in a couch or a dining set. You want furniture that matches your decor style and suits your lifestyle, and that’s where we come in!

As experienced designers and experts in home furnishings, we want you to have a comfortable and functional home without all the stress. This means applying the basic principles of design to every room of your home and purchasing only the best, most useful products to make your life easier.

This looks different for everyone, which can make finding just the right piece a bit overwhelming. Whether you’re looking for lighting, something to sit on, or a useful storage piece, often people wind up spending too much on something that simply won’t fit their space or work the way they want it to.

No matter what you’re looking for, our experienced team can guide you through the information you need. Before you throw down a significant amount of cash on a dresser or desk, you can turn to our straightforward reviews to find the piece that works best for you and your home. We only recommend pieces that we love, look great, and are durable enough to last for a long time.

Finally Furnished can help you find the perfect bed, dresser, chair, hutch, and so much more. We’ll help you decide what style you need, how big it should be, and how to blend your decor into one seamless look. We’ll walk you through weighing your options and choosing the perfect furniture.

Mission

Room

Our goal is to help you create comfortable, functional spaces that are aesthetically pleasing and cater to your individual needs. We want to help furnish your home with pieces that not only look beautiful but make your space a more comfortable and efficient living space.

We want to help foster your creativity and inspire you to create the space of your dreams, all without breaking the bank or sacrificing comfort or utility. Your home should be a place of refuge for you and your family, but it needs to be functional, too. You live there, so you need to be surrounded by things that make your life easier. We’re here to help you furnish your home in the perfect way, from choosing the right mirror in the bathroom to placing the ideal end table near the sofa.

The Finally Furnished Floor Plan

We combine our years of decorating and design experience, passion for writing, and hands-on product testing to bring you honest and comprehensive reviews and guides. Products are tested for months at a time to create fair and honest reviews. If we decide to review something like a couch, we don’t just sit on it once and decide how we like it. We sit, watch TV, read, take naps, and do all sorts of other daily activities to ensure it will stand the test of time and be comfortable for your ideal use. We test its limits and may even let our kids jump on it a time or two. That’s the Fully Furnished way! Ensuring that your home is livable, even in the most extreme scenarios is what we do.

This is how we approach every review, roundup, and comparison. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need before you invest in something you can’t use. We want your home to be the best it can be, which means buying quality, useful products to make you happier and healthier.

Why are you giving advice on Finally Furnished?

As a former award-winning Interior Designer for over ten years, I feel I have a lot to share. I love giving tips and tricks to improve a home’s style, plus offer expert advice on what to look for in furniture and other home essentials.

What piece of furniture do you feel is most worth investing in? Is there anything you think isn’t worth spending too much money on?

It’s a tie between a sofa and a bed. Those are probably the two most important pieces of furniture in the home and the two areas you should invest in. Don’t worry too much about coffee and end tables, though. Those are so easily upgraded or switched out, there’s no need to invest a ton of money in them.

What is a design you love that will never go out of style?

I honestly think farmhouse style is here to stay in some form or another.

In your opinion, what’s a design or furniture style that has worn out its welcome?

I’m not a big fan of the ultra modern. Yes, its clean lines are nice and simple, but I feel it gets boring after a while. The eye needs visual appeal.

If you could furnish your home with something completely impractical or extravagant, what would it be?

A massive apothecary cabinet! I’ve always wanted one.

Talitha van Niekerk — Decorating Consultant

Talitha has a diploma in interior decorating and combines her experience as a designer and decorator with her passion for writing. She ran a small decorating consultancy for years before combining her passions for design and writing to help others realize their decorating dreams. She specializes in helping create functional and beautiful live/work spaces and is passionate about making life more beautiful. 

Why are you giving advice on Finally Furnished?

With my experience as an interior decorator and writer, I love helping other work-from-home creatives make the most of their office and home spaces.

What piece of furniture do you feel is most worth investing in? Is there anything you think isn’t worth spending too much money on?

A great desk is a valuable investment. I would never spend more than I have to on bookshelves as it’s more about what goes into a shelf than what the shelf itself looks like.

What is a design you love that will never go out of style?

I adore the clean lines of natural glass, wood, and stone. In desks, furniture, and decorative objects, it’s simply timeless.

In your opinion, what’s a design or furniture style that has worn out its welcome?

Anything from the 70s, 80s, or 90s can go now. We’ve moved past the suburbia look, and clean lines with great material is what’s the best now.

If you could furnish your home with something completely impractical or extravagant, what would it be?

I would love to add a huge ornamental privacy screen, but it’s highly impractical with my four-legged babies running around.

Denine Walters — Office Designer and Fearless Decorator

Denine is unafraid to take risks with her decor style. She loves large-scale, bold pieces and understands the value of finding a balance between practicality and drama. She’s a creativity-driven office designer and writer who can help you create a space that works for you without sacrificing on style. 

Why are you giving advice on Finally Furnished?

I have extensive experience in office design, and as a home-based writer, I also know the value of a great office space. Furniture is part of making that dream a reality, and I want to help everyone create the home office of their dreams.

What piece of furniture do you feel is most worth investing in? Is there anything you think isn’t worth spending too much money on? 

I believe a great desk is worth a sizable investment. No matter what your decor needs are, your desk will stick around, so it’s definitely worth going big and getting the best. I wouldn’t spend too much on the little odds that decorate an office space. Things like bins, ornaments, and plants don’t always have longevity, so it’s the bottom of my budget. 

What is a design you love that will never go out of style?

I have fallen in love with Steampunk, and I love the large-scale industrial look of the desks, bookshelves, and lights.

In your opinion, what’s a design or furniture style that has worn out its welcome?

I’ve never been a huge fan of farmhouse, but it’s really starting to get dated as a style. Rustic elements are great, but the kitch-ness of farmhouse-style has definitely had its day.

If you could furnish your home with something completely impractical or extravagant, what would it be?

Oh, I would love to redecorate in Victorian era furniture. I love the large-scale pieces with extra padding, thick and lush velvets, and excessive wood trim. For me, this is just so gorgeous but totally impractical as I don’t have the time (or finances) to care for such magical pieces. So I’ll stick to my special corner where I have a glorious egg chair and a plush carpet to warm my heart.
