20. Splurge on the Dining Room Table
In case you have a formal dining room or a big dine-in kitchen, a high-quality table is a good investment. Wooden tables have the potential to last a lifetime and even be passed down to the next generation. If you have a high-quality table, it should be able to fit in with a variety of different decor types when it comes time to redecorate. Choose something timeless or something that can be re-sanded and stained if you change your mind about the color later.
Alternatively, if you must have a trendy table, go for a standard style like farmhouse or mid-century modern, as well as anything of high quality. You can always resell the table later on Facebook Marketplace to anyone looking to redecorate their kitchen in the same theme. The value of great tables appears to last for a long time. On the contrary, a table from Ikea is likely to be damaged and needs to be replaced within a few years.
