Warm up your home for the Holidays

With the holidays quickly approaching it is time to think about ways to make your home more warm and comfortable for those dark winter evenings. Often small changes in your furnishings or accessories can make a room more comfortable and functional for you and your family. Here are some great ways to dress up your room for holiday entertaining and winter long enjoyment.

Add some warm rich colors to the room such as reds, and rusts, or metals such as brass or copper with new accent pillows, artwork and accessories. Or consider a new area rug to warm the floor and give the room extra color and pattern.

Add a new floor or table lamp for better light for reading and indoor activities. Brighter light levels help people overcome the winter blues and make reading or detail work easier, particularly on aging eyes. Most lamps now take energy efficient LED bulbs, but choose “soft white” 2700K or 3000K color temperature bulbs for a warm natural interior look. We have a wide selection of lamp types and styles in stock to fit most any room or can custom order just the right lamp for your needs.

Enjoy a beautiful new dining table for holiday dinners, with enough room for the whole family. The dining table is a key element of your home’s décor, and nothing brings the family together better than a nice meal at the family table. Is your dining table the size and style you want for your home? Come in and look at all the styles and sizes we have available from tables for two, to tables for twelve.

Add some comfort to your family room with a new reclining sofa, loveseat, chair, or sectional. Since we are spending more time indoors this season, why not do it in comfort. We have hundreds of luxurious recliners and motion pieces in stock to choose from, and many more combinations available for custom ordering. Many reclining pieces now feature power recline mechanisms that let you select and hold the perfect reclining position for your body size and favorite sitting position. And we have lots of TV consoles to go with new flat screen televisions you may get this year.

Work more comfortably at home with a new home office desk for doing the family correspondence and record keeping, or just working on your laptop.

Remember that whatever you may be looking for in new home furnishings, we can help. We have been providing Oregon families with the area’s largest selection of quality home furnishings at Guaranteed Lowest Prices since 1901.
