From Empty House to Home: A Step-by-Step Furniture Plan for First-Time Homeowners

Congrats on your new home! Furnishing it can feel exciting — and overwhelming — all at once. Whether you’re starting from scratch or just looking to refresh your space, Mattress & Furniture Super Center in Tampa, Florida, is here to guide you every step of the way. With decades of experience, flexible financing options, and unbeatable outlet prices, creating a home you love has never been easier.

Step 1: Start with the Essentials

Focus on the rooms you use every day. Start with pieces that make the biggest impact:

• Living Room: A comfortable sofa, coffee table, and a functional TV stand or accent chair.

• Bedroom: Mattress, bed frame, and basic storage.

• Dining Room: A table and chairs that fit your space, whether it’s a full set or a compact option.

Pro tip: Invest in quality essentials first — these anchor your home while you gradually add the finishing touches. At our Tampa show room, you can find everything you need for your home makeover at outlet prices that make sense.

Step 2: Measure Twice, Buy Once

Nothing derails a home makeover like furniture that doesn’t fit. Before you shop:

• Measure your rooms, doorways, and hallways.

• Use painter’s tape to map out furniture placement on the floor.

• Leave space for walkways and doors to open fully.

Taking a few minutes now saves headaches later — and our team is always here to help with sizing guidance when you visit our Florida showroom.

Step 3: Set a Smart Budget & Explore Financing Options

Furnishing your home doesn’t have to break the bank.

• Budget in layers: Essentials first, accents later.

• Financing options: Our flexible plans make it easy to take home the furniture you love today while paying over time. We have options for every customer, so you can create the home you want on your terms.

At Mattress & Furniture Super Center, we combine outlet prices with trusted financing to make your home makeover simple, affordable, and stress-free.

Step 4: Layer in Style

Once the basics are set, add personality with accent furniture, rugs, lamps, and décor.

• Accent chairs and area rugs instantly elevate a space.

• Wall décor, throw pillows, and lighting bring warmth and character.

• Take your time — a home is a reflection of you, not a race.
