So you've just moved into your Springs luxury apartment home and the last thing you feel like doing is going out to shop for new furniture and accessories. You don't have to go any further than your laptop, tablet or smartphone with these great online home furnishing stores.

Wayfair

According to Wayfair, they've got "just what you need," and they just may be right. Shop their extensive inventory of more than eight million items by category, room and style or get "inspiration" with photos from editors and designers. Create Pinterest-style boards to save ideas and share them with others. Orders of more than $49 ship free, while others get a flat-rate fee of only $4.99.

Overstock

Established in 1999, Overstock is the granddaddy of online home furnishing stores. The already low prices are frequently discounted even further, and orders usually ship within one to two days. Worldstock is their "boutique" store featuring fair-trade home furnishings from Afghanistan, Brazil, Zimbabwe and other spots around the globe. Join Club O to receive free shipping on all orders and five percent reward dollars on every purchase.

Cost Plus World Market

Browsing the Cost Plus website is like strolling through street bazaars in far-off lands. The company dates back to the late 1950s when a San Francisco entrepreneur literally sold imported furniture right off the piers. Today you can still find original but inexpensive items from around the world without traveling to the West Coast. Sign up for their newsletter and get 10 percent off your next purchase.
