Poorer Families Who Cant Afford Furniture May Get Helping Hand From Those Better Off
Doing your home up properly is almost always a big drain on resources and is even more difficult for those who are not so well off. If you add to this the fact that everyone is struggling with finances in the current climate and the result is a large amount of households who are living without even the most basic furniture items. A proposed government campaign to get those with more money to give away any furniture they do not need or want to those less fortunate may be one effective solution to the problem.
A huge campaign which is set to start at the end of this year will use TV adverting, magazines, radio and even antique shows to get the message across. It is hoped that over a quarter of a million homes will benefit from the idea and Americans will be urged to dig deep. The furniture that is most in demand is bedroom furniture like children’s beds, wardrobes and bedside tables. Living room furniture is next on the wish list, with items such as couches, coffee tables and lighting being highest in demand.
Some critics have spoken out against the campaign, suggesting that the economy needs people to be spending at the moment rather than recycling old items. The government responded reasonably quickly to these accusations, with the argument that people will not be spending less money on new items, as people from low income families would be unlikely to buy new in the first place. “People will always be looking to update their furniture by buying new pieces, but that is not to say that their old items should go to waste” says expert of consumer spending Doug Wallace..
The government has said that all furniture, regardless of condition will be accepted for consideration, including painted furniture, kitchen furniture, bedroom items, really anything that people don’t want.
