Essential Furniture Question Checklist

Purchasing new furniture can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. From choosing a brand, and finding the right style and color, it can be hard to keep track of the important questions you should be asking. In fact, many focus on everything but the really important stuff: the quality of the furniture and how it is built.

Are the cushion casings upholstered?

Checking to ensure both sides of the cushion are upholstered is important. To make sure your cushions last for years to come, it is a best practice to flip them every so often so one side doesn’t wear more than the other. Unfortunately, many companies only upholster one side to cut costs.

What is the frame made of?

A high-quality frame should last the lifetime of the piece of furniture. Many manufacturers will use plywood to cut costs which breaks very easily. England Furniture uses three-quarter and seven eighths inch plywood to ensure durability and longevity.

All England Furniture pieces fulfill the qualifications stated above and are built to last.

Warming Up Your Space In The Wintertime

Even though the winter is long and cold, we can combat that chilly weather by warming up our living spaces. England Furniture’s new designs include pleasing options of warm, deep colors, and textured fabrics. You won’t want to leave your home with this year’s new trends.

1. Soft Textiles

Cozying up in a warm and fuzzy blanket is truly a necessity! Materials like flannel, cotton, wool, and cashmere are all great options to keep you warm and comfortable. Blankets are also a great way to add to the overall design, or at least a pop of color. Seasonal blankets evoke holiday cheer to spruce up the room. Pictured below is the Jaden Sofa which is designed with a wintery pattern on the sofa cushions.

2. New Furnishings & Additions

Relaxing by a fireplace can provide a comfortable feel and quite literally “warm up” your living space. England Furniture also has new pieces to complement the fireplace, such as the Leah Sofa pictured below, which is a deep seat leather sofa that adds warmth to the room.

Tips to Make Your Small Space Feel Bigger

England Furniture Zane Collection

Our new small living line, SoHo Living, just launched and we’re excited to share some tips and tricks to make your small space feel bigger. Regardless of how cramped your place may be, these tips will help maximize your room to its fullest potential.

1. Décor Items

Décor can bring a sense of style to your space without taking up too much room. Try wall décor items or smaller neutral accents for a light and airy feel.

2. Lighting

Lights that are mounted to the wall help free up space in your apartment while making it feel cozy.

3. Fresh Light Paint

A simple fresh coat of light colored paint can help brighten up a room and automatically make your space feel bigger.

4. Curtains

Hanging long curtains can help make your space appear larger by elongating the room. This will give the illusion that your space has higher ceilings than reality.

5. Sleeper Sofas

Hosting guests will never be an issue again. Utilizing a sleeper sofa in your space turns your living room into a guest room!

Creating the Perfect Space

Creating the perfect space can seem like a daunting task, but with the help of England Furniture, you’ll never want to leave your newly redesigned room. To perfect your space, there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure there is balance throughout the room. Factors such as comfort and style are two of the main pieces that help make a room come together perfectly.

1. Comfort

Above everything else, comfort takes the lead when aiming to achieve a perfect space. Without having furniture that allows you to sit back and relax after those long, busy days, your space will never be complete. So fall in love with a chair like the England Furniture Meredith Chair or even a brand new sofa like the England Furniture Palmer Sofa and everything else will just fall into place.

2. Style

Now that you have the furniture, it is time to tie everything together. Adding your own style to the room can be as simple as framing photos of family and displaying sentimental souvenirs. Everyone has a unique style and that’s what makes design so great, there are so many different options. Simple, modern, traditional, rustic and classic are all ways to express yourself. England Furniture knows that style is important, and that is why we offer over 400 fabrics to choose from when picking your perfect piece of furniture.

The Design Twins Incorporate a Bold Pattern

Balancing an accent wall and bold chairs is no easy feat. The Design Twins, tell us on their blog why they chose England Furniture. For them it came down to quality and style choice. Twins Julie and Jodie mention how England Furniture offers one of the best furniture warranties and how important it was for them that England Furniture is made in America. On their blog, they show how to make the hot new décor trends work by using the Tara Sofa and the Singleton Arm chairs from England Furniture.

The Tara Sofa gives a casual style while its tall tapered wood leg give it a more modern look. They paired this modern and casual sofa with two Singleton Arm chairs with the Mara Blue pattern, which they thought was a bold design move. As the saying goes, “the greater the risk the greater the potential is for reward!” The petite scale of the Singleton Arm chair is the perfect choice if you don’t want the chair to impact your personal space.
