7 Home Purchases Worth the Splurge
The quality of certain items shouldn't be compromised due to lack of research or the inability to delay gratification. Delving into a products' specifications, reading product reviews or coming across the right "ideabook" can help us feel more equipped to make a decision on high-ticket items for the house.
Here are seven home purchases worth the splurge:
1. Window Coverings
Often it appears that your options are endless when it comes to window coverings. However, window placement, frame construction and other external factors help narrow your choices.
It's best to seek professional advice when you are confused about which option is best for your home. There's generally no way around custom window treatments when there are unusually tall windows or odd placements. Remain conservative in your choice and they will be a good investment in your home when it's time to sell.

2. Linens and Towels
Consider anything that touches your bare skin an investment in comfort. Bed linens and towels with a high thread count are softer, durable and long lasting.

3. Upholstery
Purchasing a quality sofa or other piece of upholstered furniture that stands up to the demands of your lifestyle is always a good idea. Cotton blends that have a high percentage of polyester provide optimal stain resistance and long-term wear.

4. Room-Size Rug
It can take months to find the perfect rug, and when you do, it usually isn't cheap. Costs vary depending on the age, weaving technique, fiber content and dye method. Hand-loomed rugs wear well and have added character and charm. Minor repairs do not affect the value of the rug as long as they have been done well.

5. Mattress
Good health is one of your biggest assets, and a good night's sleep is essential to your well-being. Experts recommend buying what's comfortable for you; there is no one size that fits all. Take your time when shopping for a mattress and select one that provides optimal support when you're sleeping on your side with hips and knees slightly flexed.

6. Original Artwork
A one-of-a-kind piece by its nature has special value. In addition to adding beauty and interest to the home, fine art gains extrinsic value as time passes.

7. Countertops
In regard to replacing the homeowner's old laminate countertops with classic honed granite counters, Black and white never goes out of style. If you want a classic black and white kitchen, go ahead and change out those countertops!
