The Secret to a Restful Retreat

YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME IN THE BEDROOM with your eyes closed, so you might think it doesn’t matter what it looks like. Think again.

A recent survey found that 73% of respondents with tidy bedrooms reported sleeping well, compared to only 53% of those with messy rooms. And insomnia experts say that physical clutter causes mental clutter. Solution: declutter and streamline so your room really does feel like a sanctuary.

To do that, emphasize storage and quality over a quick fix. Say goodbye to plastic boxes under the bed and hello to under bed drawers. Storage beds offer a beautiful way to hide linens and extras out of sight and options abound. Opt for high-waisted dressers and chests with more drawers for more storage. Bedside tables tend to become dumping grounds for all sorts of clutter, so choose one with a drawer to tuck away charging cords and paraphernalia to inspire calm.

Quality adds crucial peace of mind too. Look for details such as ball bearing drawer glides, cedar and felt-lined drawers, upgraded finishes and more. Additionally, our Amish line begins with 100% solid wood and includes floating top panels, English dovetailed drawer boxes, sanded and stained drawer interiors, and pressure cast aluminum corner brackets on all beds for extra durability.

Once you’ve nailed those details, it’s time for the fun style part. Earthy tones and darker wood stains are in, as are style curves, two-tone color, and design details that are reflected in all pieces of a set. Choose from traditional classics such as a sleigh bed or sleek modern design in a platform bed, and everything in between for a peaceful night.

Your brain and body, which need solid nightly sleep to function, will thank you.

The Evolution of Living Rooms

THIS IS WHERE ALL THE RELAXING HAPPENS!

Living rooms are multipurpose spaces these days: entertaining, family game night, solitary binge-watching, nestled-in book reading, and even homework/home office space. So it’s time to throw out the formulaic layout of a sofa and two chairs. 

LEAN INTO PIECES and layouts that make your space feel unique. Want two sectional sofas for a grand scale family meet-up space? Go for it! Prefer loveseats and no sofa? That’s okay! Your family life, your room, your choice. A traditional favorite, this 85” sofa comes in a super-neutral cement color and feels right at home in any décor. Wood feet and roll arms with welting add that perfect touch of high style. Covered in 100% polyester, it includes five decorative toss pillows. 

IF YOU LEAN TOWARD A LOT OF SCREEN TIME, look for comfy choices that will support you with deep seating and maybe even down-blend cushions. If you like to mix things up, look for modular options that let you build out a sectional sofa that can turn into separate chair pieces. If game night is your jam, include a game table, large coffee table or even an ottoman to support the board.

Pile on the friends for movie night – this two piece sectional provides ample seating in less than nine feet of wall space. Deep seating and roll arms make it super comfy and the plaid ottoman adds a farmhouse vibe and the 100% polyester is family-friendly. Includes 9 toss pillows.

Inclined to Recline? Say no more!

A COMBINATION OF COMFORT, MODULARITY, FUNCTION AND STYLE will take you where you want to go this holiday season. Let’s start with comfort and the best way to escape everyday stress. Deep bucket seats, padded arms, feet up, head angled and lumbar supported – once you settle in there’s no going back.

Add in power motion furniture and you’ll have an infinite number of positions where the seat and footrest can stop along the track. Check out zero gravity recliner choices where your feet are higher than your heart for improved circulation. Flexible, modular designs allow for multiple configurations so those with a large space can really spread out, and even a small room can have a reclining L-shaped sectional sofa. There are even reclining loveseats! Smaller scale designs that recline within themselves enable you to place furniture closer to the wall, another space-saver.

Everybody gets to relax with three power reclining seats in this six piece power reclining sectional. Best of all, its flexible modular design allows for multiple configurations and will fit in rooms where a sofa cannot. It comes in a family friendly charcoal polyester blend faux suede and features a console with built in cup holders as well as decorative stitching on the footrest and arm.

Come on Over!

THE BEST GATHERINGS AND MEALS START WITH THOSE THREE LITTLE WORDS, from an impromptu pot luck to the most elaborate dinner.

Your dining area is the focal point for so many great memories, isn’t it time to give it a little love in return so you can make more memories? The incredible range of style options, value points, color, wood species, and sizes will be helpful for big parties.

Trends on the rise include darker wood furnishings, with darker brown stains and woods. The deeper colors bring in a sense of warmth that contrasts nicely with the white walls and lighter fabrics we’ve seen for the past several years. It’s truly a timeless design style that has been around for generations. Furnishing options let you express your personality. Mix and match chair styles or choose two-tone sets such as white legs with a cherry top.

Our Drake set comes in two-tone white with gray or black with cherry, available in low and high and is a great value. For maximum choice, look at our Amish selections and choose your wood species, stain color, hardware style and stool height. They’re 100% solid wood with upgraded finishes. And what would a dining room be without functional touches? Check out hidden drawers, built-in wine racks, storage sideboards, and cable-driven tops that make adding an extra leaf a breezy one-person job.

Cottage Cozy Charm?… CHECK!

FOR VACATION AND SMALLER HOMES, SIZE AND STYLE MATTER.

Whether you have a beachfront cottage or a camp cabin up in the hills, many of us are looking for that nostalgic, uncomplicated way of life. Cottage décor can get you there. It’s an interpretation of a rural aesthetic and simpler life — reminiscent of what you’d find at the beach or countryside. It highlights greenery, farmhouse tables and rustic details with a whimsical touch and smaller pieces. Here, antique whites, creams and greys plus coastal blues and greens are your flagship colors. Pieces that perform double duty such as a Windsor bench or a chair sleeper let you pack more function into smaller places. And don’t forget an electric fireplace to chase away the evening chill!

When space is at a premium, every piece should do double duty. Like this 56” chair sleeper featuring a 4” gel infused memory foam mattress. Covered in an aqua performance fabric, it includes 2 nautical themed toss pillows.

Prioritize Fun with Guest Blogger Dr. Renee J. Dubose

WHEN YOU KNOW A ROOM NEEDS SOMETHING, BUT YOU’RE NOT SURE WHAT. 

You know that blah feeling when you look around and think, “this place doesn’t inspire me.” What you need to do is add an accent. Accents give you an opportunity to introduce texture, pattern or unexpected color that can enrich the atmosphere. That could be a coastal-themed arm chair, a fun swivel chair or maybe a bench.

Let’s get the party started with this 3-sided 78” bar featuring copious storage, sunken genuine marble drink mixing area and beefy metal footrests. Constructed in poplar solids with birch and oak veneers, it has a cotton white finish

cocktail table full of alcohol bottoms

ACCENTS CAN ALSO ADD MUCH-NEEDED FUNCTIONALITY, like a whimsical file cabinet with wings that turns it into a desk. Combine fun and function in a bar with tons of storage, a metal foot rail and a chunky modern top with space for drinks, snacks, poker chips and more. The key is accents shouldn’t dominate a room, they should add fun punctuation – like an exclamation point!

Life’s a beach in this nautical themed accent club chair in 100% washed denimlook polyester sporting local landmarks.

Organization is easier with this 68” bright white executive desk with 4 drawers and 2 file drawers. Shaker style drawer fronts and bead board panels accentuated with simple black hardware make a clean style statement.

Let’s Eat!

COMFORT MEANS EVERYTHING IN THE DINING ROOM, FROM COMFORT FOOD TO COMFORTABLE SEATING. 

Never mind artisanal ingredients and complicated recipes. Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, today’s dining is more about bringing people together than showing off culinary skills. Here are our top three tips for creating a homey, family-friendly dining area sure to whet your appetite.

1. THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH SEATING AND FLEXIBILITY YOU NEED. How many people are there every day, and how often do you need to squeeze more in for special occasions? If those occasions are frequent, look for furniture that can flex. That means tables with extension leaves and benches that can serve extra duty elsewhere until needed. If you don’t often have a crowd, you might prefer a smaller table or even a bistro table.

2. THINK ABOUT HOW YOU ENTERTAIN. Are you a family-style pass-the-plate type or a buffet serve-yourself type? If buffet is your style, consider adding a sidebar for serving and a hutch for storage.

3. THINK ABOUT YOUR STYLE. If you’re a minimalist, look for sets that lean toward the mid-century modern look with sleek clean lines. If your vibe is farmhouse, look for weathered patinas, big chunky legs or an X-base. If you’re a traditionalist, consider a round table for easy conversation (bonus: they fit nicely in smaller rooms).

Add a unique look and plenty of function to your dining area with this counter height dining set with storage base to stow your wine, linens, silverware and more. Constructed in poplar solids with birch and oak veneers, this 6 piece set includes 42” X 72” table that expands to 90”, 4 counter stools and a counter bench.

wood dining table with padded seats and a bench

The multi-color top of black, brown and gray and the craftsmanship on this set leans midcentury modern, but totally fits today’s lifestyle with family-friendly performance fabric. The 6 piece dining set includes a 38” X 60” leg table, 4 upholstered side chairs and an upholstered bench.

A distinctive design statement, the table’s waterfall leg, flat cut oak grain, and unique chair design are spot on for today’s aesthetic. Constructed of hardwood solids with oak veneers, this 7 piece set includes 39” X 78.7” leg table and 6 upholstered side chairs. Also stocked with a 94.5” table as a 9 piece set with 8 chairs.
