If you’re looking to buy your special someone a memorable gift for the holidays, a birthday or some other event, furniture could be the perfect option! Not only can you find beautiful pieces to meet anyone’s tastes, but furniture is something useful your friend or loved one will use for years. Here are some tips and ideas for giving furniture as gifts.

Splurge on Furniture for Your Home

If you are giving furniture as a gift to someone in your own home, chances are you have a good idea of everyone’s style preferences and needs. Perhaps your child has been begging for bunk beds or your wife has been hinting at a new living room set. Just remember to put the recipient first. If you are buying a gift for your wife, get the new sectional she wants instead of the king size bed you think would give you a better night’s sleep.

Storage Furniture & Accent Furniture

If you are giving furniture as a holiday gift, then storage furniture is always a great option! Your friends and family can always use these pieces to hold some of the other gifts they are getting. For example, bookshelves, TV stands and entertainment centers can hold the new TVs, electronics and games unwrapped during the holiday season.

If you have budget concerns, smaller pieces of furniture and home accents, like lighting and area rugs are inexpensive items anyone would love to receive. Look for pieces that will complement the recipient’s decor and will be useful in the home.

So do something different this year, and give the gift of furniture. Your loved ones will never forget it!

Your baby is growing up, and so are his needs at bedtime. Where once a crib or toddler bed was a safe place for slumber, your child needs a “real” bed that’s big and sturdy enough for his big dreams and growing body. But where do you start?

There Are Options Beyond the Twin Bed and Mattress

While you will most likely purchase a twin bed and mattress for your child, consider the size and space of the bedroom. If there is enough room, you may want to purchase a full, or double, bed from the start.
A full bed will definitely last into adulthood for your child, but you can rest assured that a twin bed will be adequate for his current needs.

Kid Bed Options

When choosing the design of your child’s bed, first you’ll need to decide between a bed that looks like a child’s bed and one that is designed to grow with your child. While a beautiful princess or scurvy pirate ship bed will make your little one’s dreams come true, they don’t have the lifespan a more neutral design might have. It comes down to whether or not you will be willing to replace the furniture in a few years. Once you decide on this aspect of the bed's design, you have some other options to choose from:
 
Kids Bunk Beds: Chances are, your child already wants bunk beds, so you need to decide if, as a parent, this is something you want. They can be a great space-saving option if you have two kids sharing a room. But there are a number of safety issues to consider. Check out our previous post, “To Bunk Up or Not? The Pros and cons of Bunk Beds in Kids Rooms,” for more information.

Loft Bed: A loft bed is just the top half of a bunk bed. What it does is double the space of your child’s room by adding a “second floor” for sleeping. Sometimes the area underneath comes with a desk or futon for a studying or sitting area. This is one option for creating more space in a smaller room.

Bed with Trundle: Beds with trundles underneath are a great option for a child who might have sleepover guests. A second bed pulls out from underneath your child’s regular bed. You may also find a bed with trundle storage underneath. In both cases, the bed or drawer should easily pull out for your child’s use.

Captain’s Bed: Captain’s beds offer a lot of underbed storage through drawers that are all attached. This is a classic option for children’s rooms, because of all the extra storage space it affords. Captain’s beds are another great option for creating additional space in your kid’s room because of its efficient use of space.

A Quality Mattress

Don’t forget that your growing child needs a durable mattress to support him in his slumber. Whether you’ve decided on a twin mattress or a full, a bunk bed that requires a board or a more traditional bed that requires a mattress and boxspring set, you have a number of options as far as the types of materials the mattress can be made of. This post explains the different types of mattresses available can help you in your research.

Getting your child his first bed is a big step for him and you. We hope this helps you start the process.

What goes on in interior designers' minds when they're decorating homes? I’m sure you've wondered this yourself while watching HGTV or leafing through a decor magazine. With our Love This Room series, we’re going to let you in and explain how the design in these rooms creates a cohesive look you could recreate in your own home.

Let's take a closer look at our Monaco II formal dining room collection and what makes it so special.

As the weather gets cooler and the holidays get closer, a traditional formal dining room becomes an appealing option, regardless of the latest trends. Bringing family together around a large dining room table to celebrate and share becomes the priority. And this elegant dining room shows how you can bring together a number of materials to create a cohesive look that wows.

It’s All About the Details

This dining room furniture features a number of intricate details, making it the star of the room. From the elegant lines of the serpentine legs, the acanthus leaf carving and the egg-and-dart moulding to the intricate grain of the olive ash burl veneers and the case goods’ antiqued gold accents, nothing has been overlooked to create a special set for family.

To match the elaborate double-pedestal table, dining chairs and china cabinet, the rest of the room boasts equally ornate details. The sophisticated pattern on the area rug and the decorative wall sconce with its own rich details rise to the bar set by the Monaco II collection.

A Feeling of Openness in This Traditional Dining Room

While this traditional dining room set could make the room feel heavy, the open archway and window bring in light and openness while echoing the furnishings’ curves. We chose an iron chandelier with beautiful scrollwork that also lightens the room with its airiness.

Color & Contrast

We used color in this room to both contrast and work with the furniture. We began with the Monaco II’s deep merlot finish and its reddish undertones, echoed in different shades in the cool floor tile and even the traditional rug. The gold accents on the case goods and gold-toned tapestry on the chairs, in contrast, pop against these hues.

We hope this room inspires you for decorating your own dining room and enjoying beautiful holiday entertaining!

I recently came across this TLC article on 5 fall cleaning tips, and it got me thinking. With the colder months ahead, fall is an essential time to clean, reorganize and take stock of the look of your home. Since you’ll be spending more time indoors as the mercury drops, you want to be sure your home is ready and that you have all the furnishings you need to truly enjoy being and entertaining in your home.

So try our checklist against every room to get your home where you want it to be:

Get rid of clutter: This is the time to find a place for everything. You may need to consider additional storage options, like an entertainment center, a china cabinet or an additional dresser. This will help declutter the home, giving you the space you need to live and enjoy.

Create a natural flow: Do you feel like you can move about your home in a way that makes sense? While some of it is architectural, where you place your furniture can help. It may be time to rearrange the furnishings you have.

Take stock: Do you have the furniture in your home to be able to use it as you would like? For example, if you plan to entertain a lot in the coming months, you want to make sure you have enough seating for your living room. Or if you and your family love to play games, perhaps a dinette set or an occasional table would offer the perfect spot for game night.

Love the look of your home: Do you like the way the rooms in your home look overall? If not, try to pinpoint what you don’t like. While a fresh coat of paint and a few accessories can do a room wonders, you shouldn’t have to live with furniture you don’t like. In the room in question, take a look at each piece and decide if that is what is throwing you off. It will be worth your while to replace that flower-patterned loveseat with something that suits you better – either a new loveseat or even a pair of accent chairs.

I hope this checklist helps you get your home where you want it to be so you can focus on enjoying the holidays and hot cups of cider with people you care about.

With our Love This Room series, we’re going to let you in and explain how the design in these rooms creates a cohesive look you could recreate in your own home.

Let's take a closer look at our Maya casual dining room collection and what makes it so special.

Large Style, Small Space

If you are decorating a breakfast nook or some other small area for eating, you don’t have to go small on style, too. The Maya dinette set incorporates some of our favorite trends in casual dining today: Parsons chairs, counter-height dining, a perfectly square table and benches!

The mix-and-match seating lends this dining area an eclectic look that is very today! The combination of rich espresso veneers and a tempered frosted glass insert is sleek and sets the design motif for the space.

Hip-to-Be-Square Motif

The room’s design centers on the square table, and then echoes it in the wall art and window treatments. The earthy tones of both of these elements, as well as the neutral pale gray walls and light wood flooring, really accentuate the furnishings’ deep finish.

Bring It Together with Punches of Color

Verdant natural elements add visual interest. The plants in the room add bright pops of green that play off the reds and browns in the area rug. The rug further plays on the room’s theme with a circular design that is still geometric but contrasts the angles of all the squares seen throughout the area.

Wow – who knew you could bring such a layered design to a petite space like this? Now you do, and we hope this inspires you to create equally special spots in your own home!

Perhaps you have heard the conventional wisdom that a mattress can last 10 years, but the reality is closer to five to seven years. A number of factors affect a mattress’s lifespan, including who is using it and how often. For example, a mattress regularly slept on by two people will not last as long as a mattress in a guestroom that only gets used three or four times per year.

If you’re debating whether or not it’s time to replace your mattress, here are 7 questions to help guide you.

1. Can you see wear and tear on your mattress?

Take a look at your mattress without the bedding. If you can actually see that your mattress is worn with indentations, sagging and lumps, then it is time to get a new one.

2. Are you waking up with aches and pains?

This is a good indication that your mattress has seen better days and is no longer giving you the support you need. And if you only experience this discomfort after lying on your bed, that’s the clincher.

3. Can you hear your mattress?

If your mattress creaks when you lie down on it, then it’s time to trade it in. Just be sure that it is the mattress creaking and not your bed frame.

4. How are the edges holding up?

If your mattress’s edges easily give way to small amounts of pressure, then the edge support is failing, which is essential to the mattress holding its shape.

5. Are you suddenly waking up with morning allergies?

If you have an inner spring mattress, an abundance of dust mite buildup can happen over time, causing sneezing, coughing and stuffiness. If you encounter this specific issue, you may want your next mattress to be latex or memory foam, which offer protection from dust mites.

6. Do you wake up in the middle of the night?

If this is a new occurrence, your mattress may be to blame, and the discomfort is disrupting your sleep.

7. Overall, how do you feel in the morning?

If you are feeling less than refreshed, your mattress may very well be the reason. If you’re not sure and it is possible, try sleeping on another mattress for a few days – either in your guest room or when you’re on vacation. If you feel better in the morning after sleeping elsewhere, it is time to go mattress shopping!

Whether you’re preparing for a holiday, dinner party or movie night, there are some simple things you can do to prepare your home for the event to help ensure your guests have a fabulous time. Here are our 10 tips to make the most of your space and your furniture!

Tip #1: Take a good look at your home. Does it reflect who you are today and what you want to present to your guests? Or does it look more like who you were 5, 10 or even 20 years ago? This could be a great opportunity to upgrade to a new sofa or dining room furniture that’s more in line with your current design sensibility.

Tip #2: Accessories create visual interest and are a great way to punch up your room. Arrange accessories either symmetrically for a more formal look or asymmetrically to show off your creative side. Highlight a special accessory by placing it on or against a contrasting color.

Tips #3: Want an inexpensive idea for centerpieces and other party decor? Bring nature indoors with arrangements of leaves, stones and fresh flowers.

Tip #4: Create visual interest by mixing sizes, scales and textures – this works for furnishings, accessories, artwork and more. However, keep an eye out for anything that might make guests uncomfortable, such as side tables that are too low or small to reach when seated. If you love those items, repurpose them elsewhere or temporarily put them away.

Tip #5: Move furniture around to open up your floor plan and give guests the space to move freely.

Tip #6: Continue your party’s theme from room to room to give an uninterrupted flow to the ambiance.

Tip #7: Hang artwork that expresses who you are and encourages conversation.

Tip #8: Don’t decorate around an item you don’t like. If you’ve always winced at the sight of your sofa, table or carpet, this is the perfect time to make a change.

Tip #9: Opt for a buffet, especially if you are short on space at the dining room table. Your guests will appreciate the casual atmosphere to crowding in an area that is too small.

Tip #10: And when all is said and done, this is your home and your party. So don’t be afraid to go with what feels right to you, even if it’s the opposite of everything you hear or read.

Did you know that the texture of the furnishings you use in a room is as important as the colors you choose? That’s how interior designers are able to create dramatic monochromatic looks or play with light in surprising ways within a color scheme.

Brighten Spaces with Smooth Textures

Choosing smooth, glossy materials can add luster to your room. Consider a leather sofa in your living room, a high-gloss finish on your bedroom set or a sleek, glass table in your dining room. Of course, metallic accessories throughout your home will brighten up every room.

Rougher Textures Bring a Casual Feel

Furnishings and accessories with coarse or raised textures, as is often found in a more natural state, absorb light and actually make a room feel cozier. So if you’re trying to make a larger space more intimate, choose chairs upholstered in wool or with other textured fabric. And don’t be afraid to choose case goods in an unfinished or distressed appearance to give your home a rustic, warm feel.
 
Remember, the next time you buy furniture, really think about the materials, the look and feeling you are trying to achieve and how it will all play with other furnishings you already have in the room.

Nothing turns a space into a home like filling it with items and furnishings you love, assembled in a style that is truly your own. Whether you’re moving into a new home or redecorating the one you already have, this is a very exciting time that can really improve your quality of life. But it’s also a time when your wants may not align with what your wallet can allow.

But don’t worry – you can have a beautiful home without breaking your budget. Our 10 tips cover everything from setting your spending limits to multifuctional pieces to help  you get the most for your money. So get started!

Tip #1: Create a budget, either for the entire living space or by individual room. Then make a list of what you have, what you need and what you’d like to upgrade. This will help you to prioritize the project and may shed light on the fact that you could repurpose your nightstand as an end table for the time being.

Tip #2: Brainstorm on how you would like to decorate each room, and then narrow down each space to one or two solid ideas. This way, all of your furniture and accessories can work toward these primary themes for a cohesive look.

Tip #3: You don’t have to furnish your entire home at once. Versatile pieces, such as dining chairs, can float between rooms -- from dining to the home office, to the living room when you’re entertaining guests.

Tip #4: Look for a beautiful bed to be your bedroom’s centerpiece and make the room feel complete. You can add everything else-- dressers, chests and nightstands -- over time. And don’t be afraid to mix and match -- an eclectic mix will make your home cozy and unique.

Tip #5: Think outside the house when it comes to decorative accents. You’ll bring unique style to your home by decorating with garden ornaments, architectural elements and old building parts. They’re often cheap and always distinctive. Check salvage yards and antique stores for great finds.

Tip #6: Use a bookcase in your dining room to store and display china and serving pieces. Later, when you upgrade to a china cabinet or sideboard, you can easily use the bookcase in another area of your home.

Tip #7: Create your own artwork. You can frame anything, from a beautiful leaf to a photo from last year’s wall calendar, and voila, you have art! For inexpensive frames, look in discount stores for framed prints. Remove the back (needle-nose pliers are terrific for pulling out large staples) and replace what was in the frame with your own masterpiece.

Tip #8: Choose a dining room table that will give you choices down the line. For example, choosing a smaller scale table or one with a removable expansion leaf might allow you to use the table in your kitchen or another room should you decide to replace it.

Tip #9: Go ahead and accept hand-me-down furnishings, but only if you really like them. An unwanted dinosaur won’t inspire your imagination the way an empty room can. Don’t be afraid to live with the open space for a while and consider the room you’d really like to create.

Tip #10: Sell furnishings you don’t like or no longer have a need for at a consignment shop or online. Then you can use the money you make for the furniture you really want!

Are you trying to get the biggest look possible from a small room? Whether it’s because you’re just starting out in a New York City apartment or you’ve recently downsized because your children moved out, having space at a premium can present challenges when it comes to furnishing and decorating your home. Here are five tips that can help:

Start with Furniture Scale

Your furnishings need to fit the space you have. If, for example, you have a small living room, an oversized sofa may not be the best choice – it could completely dwarf the room. If you love the piece’s oversized look, perhaps a loveseat or chair from the collection could bring the same charm to your space but at a more suitable size.

Light Colors Work Wonders

Choose a light color palette to make the room appear bigger and airier. Begin with light-colored furniture, window treatments, accessories and bedding, and then drape the walls, floors and ceilings in a similar palette.

Choose Artwork Wisely

You know how set designers use receding perspectives, like a pathway to a distant point, to make the stage appear to go on forever? You can use the same trick in your home! Hang pictures of landscapes or abstracts with vanishing or receding perspective to give the eye a greater sense of depth.

Neaten Up

Keep your room tidy and clutter-free! Give eyes an easy path to absorb the combination of all elements. Items haphazardly scattered in the room will break up your decor, making the space seem smaller than it is.

Mirror Image

Place a mirror on the wall, opposite an architectural detail or a prized piece of furniture. This will give the impression of an expanded room, while doubling the visual impact of something you love. You can also use this trick to replicate a favorite view within your room.

From soft gray to charcoal gray and everything in between, we’re seeing the color on sofas, chairs, accessories and more! So, while there are hundreds of ways to incorporate gray into your decor, we’ve collected 10 of our favorite living room furnishings and rugs here to inspire you:

Eco-leather matched sides and backs offer environmental sensibility, while a superior blend of down and foam promises plenty of relaxation.

Demi II Living Room Collection

As stylish as it is comfortable, our Demi II living room set is made luxurious with its thick, charcoal gray microfiber upholstery, which gives the appearance of suede while being velvety soft.

Kaylee Living Room Collection

Our Kaylee living room collection's special design offers you many stylish choices: The sofa boasts a reversible chaise that can be set up on the left, right or even the center.

The velvety soft, durable fabric showcases a subtle hatch-mark pattern, and the deep gray shade offers a modern feel.

Mallory Living Room Collection

Presented in a cool shade of today's hottest neutral, the gray microfiber in our Mallory living room collection boasts utter softness and a subdued texture.

Fusion Fire Area Rug

Our Fusion Fire area rug fills any room with hot style! Two tones of gray create wide stripes with an ombre effect, and a lustrous sheen enhances the fashion-forward design. The shaggy texture is a throwback to the past, but with plusher, woven yarns that are updated for today.

Milano Area Rug

Looking as though it could be hung on the walls of a modern art gallery, our Milano area rug immediately captures your attention. An appealing blend of the hottest neutrals appear in wide bands and a spot-on shape, offering a cool sense of visual movement. Soil-resistant and color-strong, the fibers come together to create a comfy texture underfoot.

A spilled glass of wine or grape juice does not have to mean the end to your favorite living room chair or your brand-new dining room area rug. Sure, you can take preventive action, like choosing durable fabrics or even getting materials treated, but that only helps before the glass gets knocked over.

Surprisingly, your best bet when a spill strikes is doing what your grandmother might have done: Seltzer that spill.
 
Keep an unopened bottle of clear soda water or seltzer on hand for spills -- even tough ones like wine, animal urine or food. While this often works on furniture upholstery as well, you should always consult the manufacturers’ instructions, especially if your furniture is upholstered in a delicate fabric. But, once you decide the seltzer treatment is the right way to go, follow these steps:

1. Gently scrape off (or mop up) as much of the spill as possible, then soak the stained area with seltzer.
2. Let it sit for awhile while the bubbles work more of the spill up to the surface.
3. Blot carefully with a clean, white absorbent paper or fabric towel, being sure not to rub the stain back into the surface or spread it further.

This process will often eliminate the entire stain. If not, it will keep stains from drying and setting before they can be removed by conventional cleaning methods.

Are you ready for some football? How about your living room?

Here are some expert design tips to help you decorate your living room so it will always be ready to entertain during a game, movie night or other entertaining.

Your Media Room Doesn’t Have to Be a Cliche

When people hear the term media room, they often think of basement-level spaces that are dark and filled with dark furniture. But that doesn’t have to be the case! As long as you decorate the room giving your television a prime space, then the rest of the room can be designed to meet your overall style. So you should think about the entertainment center that you want and need. Do you want a larger wall unit where you can store your entertainment components as well as show off some knickknacks? Would a TV stand be sufficient, or should you think outside the box and mount your TV to the wall and then place a sofa table or sideboard underneath in an unconventional yet creatively stylish option for storing your electronics?

And don’t be afraid of natural lighting! Today’s TV screens often don’t get the same type of glare you grew up with. Plus, you can always get some heavy-duty window treatments that add to your decor – this way you can let in the light when you want and block it out when it meets your needs.

Decorate with Comfortable Seating – and Lots of It

People will be sitting for quite a bit of time to watch the game or recent blockbuster. So you want your living room furniture to include a lot of comfortable seating. Consider including a sectional or recliners. And even if you go with a more modern design, keep things like seat depth in mind so your guests are sure to have comfortable spots. And since your guests will be eating, drinking and showing their enthusiasm during the game, choosing a durable upholstery like microfiber or leather could make cleanup easier for you.

Give Your Guests Some Room

With everything your guests will want to do in your living room while watching the game, you’re going to want to fit in a lot of furniture: chairs to sit on, tables for drinks and food, etc. But resist the urge to put too much furniture in your game-watching room. Your guests will need space to visit, stretch out and cheer the game on, so be sure to leave enough room to minimize party fumbles.

Not Everyone Is Going to Watch the Game

Along the same vein, not everyone who comes to your game-day gathering is going to watch the game the entire time. With this in mind, setting up multiple functional sitting areas can make your party flow better. Have one sitting area squarely in front of the TV for those friends who are there to watch the game. Here they will have the best seat in the house to do just that.

Other groupings of chairs with tables or ottomans will give your guests the ability to break off into groups of like-minded friends to focus on some other aspects of the party. For example, one area with easy access to snacks and beverages could be ideal, as well as another area with chairs set up for chatting and catching up could both be great options for your living room.

We hope this advice will give you some great ideas for furnishing your living room or media room for your game-day gatherings. For more decor ideas and party tips, check out our Game Day Entertaining board on Pinterest.
