Furniture shops in the Netherlands

A job in the Netherlands through DB Work gives you more financial resources, perks, and almost the best living you can have in Europe. It is therefore more than normal to want to obtain Dutch citizenship, move to the Netherlands permanently, and want to buy your own home. If this is your plan or if you simply want to buy a few pieces of furniture for your current home, here are the best furniture shops in the Netherlands where you will find great products at low prices. 

Kringloop Winkels

The Kringloop chain of stores is a very cheap and great solution for those who need to furnish their homes on a budget. Usually, when you move into a new house that doesn't have any furniture pieces, Kringloop stores will help you find second-hand furniture in very good condition at very low prices. With a bit of luck, you can find a comfortable sofa for as little as €35, and for a few hundred euros you can furnish an entire apartment.

Kringloop Winkels stores are very handy even for those who don't want to pay hundreds of euros for a chest of drawers or shelves. All you have to do is check the store to find things that fit your taste. 

IKEA

Swedish giant Ikea is one of the world's best-known furniture chains. They've managed to combine the useful with the pleasant and offer you cheap furniture that looks nice and modern, but also fits in many homes. The only downside to IKEA's furniture pieces is that they're mostly made of plywood and have only flat surfaces. 

All furniture pieces for your home will be delivered directly to your door at quite low prices. There are already about 15 Ikea stores in the Netherlands, which makes even ordering online simple. Keep an eye on Ikea as they also regularly launch collections of furniture or decorative items in tune with the season.

Marktplaats

Marktplaats is a Dutch online marketplace that allows people to buy and sell a wide variety of goods and services. It is one of the most popular websites in the Netherlands and is similar to other online marketplaces such as eBay or Craigslist. Marktplaats was founded in 1999 and is currently owned by eBay.

On Marktplaats, users can sell and buy almost anything they want. If you need to buy certain pieces of furniture, simply launch a search on the platform to see which ads are available. If you find an ad that interests you, you can contact the seller and negotiate the price and delivery method. Obviously, prices are even lower and products may have flaws, but these things can be discussed with the seller. Most of the time, out of a desire to get rid of furniture, the Dutch sell it very cheaply. 

Facebook groups

One way you can even acquire good pieces of furniture for free is through international Facebook groups. If you join expat groups or local groups of Dutch residents, you will definitely find someone who needs to get rid of some pieces of furniture very quickly, and therefore, you will be able to save some money. 

Most of the time, it is the expats themselves or people who have worked in the Netherlands for a certain period who donate such items. 

Conclusion

Cheap alternatives exist for everything if you want it badly enough, and home furniture doesn't have to cost you thousands of euros. In the places we've mentioned in this article you'll find cheap furniture that will help you create a comfortable setting in your home, at least until you buy others the way you want them.
