Houstonians prefer to buy new furniture, mostly on financing, rather than used furniture but there is still a huge offering on used furniture through classifieds in newspapers and online as people move often and then refurnish their houses. The overall preferred style is traditional in most furniture stores and most expatriates prefer stores such as Ikea and Danish Inspirations.
