A dictionary definition for elegance is given as “the quality of being pleasingly ingenious and simple”

For affordability the definition offered is sensibly as “being priced for people to be able to buy”.

So, to combine the two definitions it would be fair to say that something is both elegant and affordable if its quality is pleasingly ingenious and simple, also priced right for people to be able to buy.

Now upon reflection and applied to furniture that is a wonderful guideline upon which to base a decision to purchase.

Both definitions rely on the innate intelligence of the consumer to make a clear decision to add to their furniture collection. Both encourage the customer to look within and connect with their response to what they see, touch and feel. Both refer the buyer to their own acceptable price level. 

When these considerations are recognized, accepted and acted upon, the outcome will be customer satisfaction. And that is music to the ears of a furniture retailer!
