Sectionals – Build A Custom Seating Group!

Built of individual components, sectional sofas can be designed for most any space.  Although some sectionals will come in only 1 configuration and 1 or 2 fabric choices, many can be custom built specifically for you and your room. If you know the dimensions of your room, you can create your own custom seating group.

Whether you prefer casual or more formal, reclining or stationary, small or large, many options are available to you. Hundreds of fabrics exist, and some vendors even offer a choice of leg styles and stain colors. Many come with occasional pillows that can be ordered in a complementary fabric at no additional charge. Some even offer a choice in seating firmness.

A variety of pieces are available; stationary seats, those that recline, chaise ends, cuddler ends and consoles. Sleepers are available on different models, though not every style offers every option. Many have USB ports and/or charging stations incorporated into the furniture piece itself. Your salesperson can help you narrow down your choices to those best suited to your needs. Pick your favorite and build it for your space!

Room measurements are critical at this point. You don’t want to spend weeks waiting for your custom piece, only to find it doesn’t fit into your room. Make sure that all openings will accommodate the largest piece, usually the wedge. Although certain adjustments can be made to get pieces into your room – such as taking off the legs of a stationary piece, or the back off some reclining pieces – the best way is to measure first and avoid the problem in the first place. Also note window openings, and electrical outlets if any of your pieces have power features.

Before your delivery team leaves, make sure all pieces are locked together to keep the units from separating. Then sit back and enjoy the result of all your careful planning: a beautiful piece of comfortable furniture, tailored to your room and your style.

5 Swaps to Put Your Home in a Holiday Mood

The holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to get in the holiday mood! A great place to start is your home, and even if you’re not ready to haul out the holly, decorate the tree, or light the menorah, there are some simple swaps you can make that will have your family feeling that holiday spirit. The best news? The changes we’re talking about require very little effort or expense.

  • Toss in some new throw pillows. No matter which holiday you celebrate, it’s easy to find pillows that match your traditions and fit your style. From whimsical to ornate, they’re everywhere this time of year, and can turn your furniture into a holiday display.

 

 

  • Make your bathroom a winter wonderland.                                          It’s simple as can be to switch out towels, bathmats, and even the shower curtain to go with your holiday theme. Want to go the extra mile? Switch your usual soap with a whimsical holiday-themed or elegant metallic  dispenser. If you keep a scent diffuser in your bathroom, you can easily change it to match the rest of the room.
  • Holiday up your kitchen. Just about every store you visit this time of year has their own spin on holiday dish towels, potholders, and more. If you’re able, it’s also a nice touch to hang up some kitchen linens that have been handed down through your family. You’ll feel nostalgic and cozy every time you see your grandmother’s fingertip towel, or your great-aunt’s potholders. On the table, a simple centerpiece can change the mood, turning it to all things holiday, even if it’s as simple as a potted poinsettia.
  • Make things merry with candles. Candles soothe and delight, whether they’re for a religious purpose or simply to create a warmer ambience. They don’t even have to be holiday themed! Simple tapers are an elegant and attractive addition to any centerpiece or holiday display.
  • Switch up your scents. Nothing triggers warm memories of the holidays like certain scents. Whether you use scented candles, oil diffusers, or even strategically placed cinnamon brooms, choose scents that take you back to happy childhood memories, and you’ll find you’re in a holiday mood.
