Start with a blueprint: A proper design of your furniture or interior décor will not only give you a visual map but also help in estimating exactly what materials you would need.

Take proper estimates:
Calculate and estimate how much of each type of plywood you would need. Remember that plywood comes in sheets of particular dimensions. So, knowing the accurate dimensions of your furniture is crucial in understanding the number of sheets you might use up. For this, take the help of experts, such as your designer and carpenter; consult them for arriving at a practical estimate of the number of plywood sheets you need to purchase.
Make a proper market survey:
Armed with the estimate, check the market for the material and pricing as well as various offers given by different brands.

Once you have finalized your plywood list, try to purchase in a single go or in bulk. In this way, you would be saving on transportation.
Look for ways to recycle extra cuttings: While processing plywood sheets for furniture or interior, you would be left with some number of residual pieces derived from the main sheets. With a little bit of imagination, these can be converted into objects of art or small pieces of furniture to add that extra zing to your interior.
