Have you ever seen an auction catalog or even read a novel where a chair is described by its style and you wonder what in the world it looks like? Unless you are an Antiques Road Show junkie, as I must confess I am, you may not be able to put a visual picture or even a description with a chair style.
Your Chicago furniture retailer has many of these styles in their showroom, but which one is right for your décor? Let’s discuss. Continue Reading
When it comes to buying bedroom furniture the process should be simple. You’ll need a bed (obviously), somewhere to store your clothes, and maybe a chair. So why do we get caught up in materials, and weighty issues, and “to nightstand or not to nightstand”?
When shopping for the best new furniture, Chicago buyers turn to their trusted retailer and thank goodness the expert staff includes designers who can help you find balance in your entire home. Since the bed is your key piece and the whole reason for having a “bed” room, let’s start there. Continue Reading
It really is a work of art when you consider all the precision needed to balance a rocking chair so it will rock smoothly and silently. Remember in the beginning scene of The Patriot where Mel Gibson’s colonial character is in the barn working on a rocking chair?. He puts on the finishing touch, sits down and it collapses. We then see the pile of broken chairs he’s built trying to perfect it.
Whether an heirloom of wood, a padded, comfortable old-world leather, or a sleek, contemporary piece of art, adding a rocking chair to your décor can make it more welcoming and comfortable. When looking for the best new furniture, Chicago buyers love the rocker. Continue Reading

You want your office, whether it’s at home or actually at the office, to be a reflection of who you are. It also needs to be functional, and professional to some extent. Your Chicago office furniture dealer can help you find a way to achieve all this at once and create a modern office in the process.
“Modern” does not mean it has to be contemporary in style, just that it incorporates all the functional items and technology that you need to be successful. When you visit your Chicago furniture dealer, have an idea of the style you want to create. Are you leaning more toward a traditional study with wood and muted colors or are you looking for something fun and colorful with geometric shapes and lots of light.
In choosing the pieces you want to incorporate, think about how much storage space you need, what type of work area will be the most efficient and how the furniture might be positioned so you can easily access what you need.
Forget those ugly metal file cabinets. You can hide your files in a beautiful credenza, display your art on a pedestal or even order custom pieces for your specific needs. Use a unique divider screen as a “bulletin board” or to display honors and awards. Your Chicago furniture dealer will help you incorporate your ideas into your dream office space.
There are materials that can help reflect your personal style – your desk doesn’t have to be oak or mahogany, glass and steel. You can choose from materials like brightly-colored plexi-glass or Lucite and you can even get them in geometric shapes.
Chicago office furniture buyers want to find something unique and by browsing catalogs and websites before you shop you can get a much better idea of what will work for you.
