When it comes to creating a beautiful home, sometimes the most satisfying spaces are built over time, piece by piece, with items that reflect both style and story. For one loyal Abbeys customer, building their perfect home became an exciting journey through the auction house, turning each purchase into a part of their everyday life. Their experience shows just how transformative auction finds can be—not just for individual rooms, but for an entire home.
In this second article of our “I Bought It at Abbeys” series, we showcase how auctions offer more than just unique pieces—they provide the opportunity to furnish a home with quality, style, and affordability.
A home built through auctions
“Everything in these photos came from Abbeys: outdoor setting, couches, artwork, dining setting, entertainment units, TVs, rugs, and lamps… basically my whole house. I’ve bought and sold at Abbeys over the years, and two things keep me coming back: the great bargains and the staff at the back, who are always so incredibly helpful, polite, and friendly. I’m so proud to show off my home and tell my friends, ‘I bought it at Abbeys Auctions.’”
This customer’s story is a perfect example of how auctions allow you to create spaces with personality. Instead of settling for cookie-cutter retail furniture or struggling to coordinate décor, they were able to furnish their entire home through a series of exciting finds, each with its own history and charm.
Bargains that keep you coming back
One of the joys of shopping through auctions is the thrill of the bargain hunt. As this happy customer highlights, Abbeys offers great value, with many high-quality pieces available at prices far lower than retail. Whether it’s a luxurious rug, a sleek entertainment unit, or an entire outdoor setting, these auction finds become both practical and stylish additions to any space—without breaking the bank.
But the value goes beyond price. Auction houses provide access to pre-loved items that were built to last, meaning buyers get more for their money in terms of durability and craftsmanship. It’s an ideal solution for those who want to combine affordability with originality, style and quality.
The Human Touch: our people make the difference
For this loyal buyer, Abbeys offers more than just great deals—it’s also about the people who make each visit a positive experience. “The staff at the back, who are always so incredibly helpful, polite, and friendly,” have become part of what keeps them returning.
This personal touch is a big part of why many customers feel connected to Abbeys. Whether it’s assisting with viewings, helping with logistics, or answering questions about items, our friendly and knowledgeable staff work hard to create an inviting atmosphere that makes the auction experience enjoyable from start to finish.
A House to Be Proud Of
Building a home filled with auction finds is about more than just savings; it’s about the pride that comes from surrounding yourself with items you love—pieces that reflect your personal taste and the satisfaction of discovering them. As our featured customer proudly shares, their home is now a showcase of everything they love about Abbeys. And the best part? Every piece has a story that begins with the excitement of a winning bid.
When guests visit, they get to hear these stories, too: the art on the wall, the couches in the living room, the outdoor furniture—all tell a story of sustainable choices and smart finds. And with every compliment, this happy buyer gets to share the joy of saying, “I bought it at Abbeys Auctions.”
