Looking For Good Design?

First things first! Buy quality MADE IN AMERICA furniture. We carry Norwalk, CRLaine, Lexington and many more companies. They offer life time warranties on inner springs and frames. Less expensive furniture simply won’t last as long and you will soon regret buying something that sags, is uncomfortable and doesn’t look good in a short amount of time.

This Norwalk sofa is a great piece used in a living room with a large family including 10 grandchildren. It looks as good as the day it was bought. The style is great and the fabric is perfect. It is 100% polyester which is a great fabric for spills, and lots of use. It is a velvet which is perfect with dogs and cats as they can’t get their claws in it.

Know your fabrics! What fabrics stain easily? What fabrics wear well? What ones are good with pets? An experienced designer can guide you in your fabric choices. Do you know what cotton reacts? Do you know how linen reacts? Do you know how acetate reacts? Do you know how viscose reacts? A good designer will guide you to the best fabrics for sofas, chairs, and ottomans.

Need room for a group of people? This Norwalk sectional allows reclining at each end or several people sitting on each end for family gatherings. I have seen many people gather on this piece in comfort.

Do you know how to find balance in a room? Or does your room feel heavy on one side? Do your chairs work with the table between them or not. A guide on chairs is really pretty simple. If you have swivel chairs or chairs set at an angle with a table between them? Then you need a round end table. If you use a table with corners it will be in the way of the swivel. You don’t want your chairs to hit against corners.

How large should your coffee table be? How far from the sofa does it need to be? Should it be round, square, or a rectangle? There are guidelines for all of these questions. Some rooms need a square coffee table and others need round and yet others need rectangular. So how do you know what to do?

The guideline for the distance of a coffee table to the sofa is 18 to 24 inches. Any closer and it can be too tight to walk. Any farther and it can be too far to reach with a drink.

A large room needs a large square or round table to balance things. If you have two sofas facing each other a rectangular table is best. If you have a sectional with an angle on one end you need a round table.

This room is large with chairs facing each other on each side of the sofa and the square table works perfectly.

The best guide to an update is an experienced designer to keep you from making choices you will regret, but instead will help you find the best options for your life style and your personal preferences.
