How to Furnish Your First Home in Kokomo, Indiana

Buying your first home in Kokomo, Indiana is exciting—but knowing where to start with furniture can feel overwhelming. At Walls Furniture & Mattress, we’ve helped thousands of local homeowners create beautiful, comfortable spaces—without blowing their budget or filling rooms they rarely use.

Here’s our step-by-step guide on how to prioritize which rooms to furnish first so you can enjoy your home right away.


Step 1: Start with the Rooms You’ll Use Daily

Example: Living Room & Bedroom

  • Living Room – This is where you’ll relax, entertain, and spend the most waking hours. Start with a sofa, coffee table, and lighting.

  • Bedroom – A comfortable mattress is a must. Don’t skimp here—quality sleep affects your health and productivity.

💡 Local Tip: At Walls Furniture in Kokomo, we offer fast delivery and setup—so you can have your essentials ready in days, not weeks.


Step 2: Focus on Comfort & Function

If your budget is tight, skip the “fancy” guest room or formal dining set. Instead:

  • Add a recliner or accent chair for extra seating.

  • Invest in durable, stain-resistant fabrics (like Next-Gen Nuvella).

Step 3: Add Dining Essentials

A kitchen or dining space makes mealtime more enjoyable.

  • Start small with a dining set or kitchen island that fits your space.

  • Expand later when you host larger gatherings.


Step 4: Layer in Secondary Rooms

Once your main rooms are set, move to:

  • Home office desks & chairs

  • Guest beds & nightstands

  • Outdoor furniture for patios and decks


Step 5: Personalize with Decor

  • Rugs, lamps, and wall art can instantly warm up a space.

  • Add pieces slowly to avoid clutter.
