Thanks in advance!
Adding to what CoachKandSportsguy wrote, some of those furniture stores actually have the floor plans of Villages homes in their computers, so they can show you how certain pieces would look in your specific model, what will fit, different themes, etc. They've been doing this for years, and also offer turnkey/rental property furniture packages.

Don't forget about the numerous consignment/thrift stores surrounding The Villages, as you can get furniture in excellent condition for far less than you might think. Skip Smith and Jerry/Linda have done videos on them. J&L also did a video with Ruth Dyer, who has been an interior decorator in and around The Villages for many years - she may be able to help.
