At Home Furniture and La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, we field customer inquiries every day. Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions, complete with answers!
Q: How can I make better use of smaller spaces?
A: Start by paring down. Filling every square inch can make you feel downright claustrophobic. Remove the furniture you don’t need and those extra accessories too. Add a light color to walls and ceilings and viola, a wide open feeling!
Q: How do I choose the right fabric for me?
A: First, define your taste. Do you prefer satin and silk or cotton and denim. Think about your room colors too. Bring carpet and paint samples with you to make the best color choice. Next consider your lifestyle. A home with children and pets need durable, easy-care fabrics.
Q: How can I make my house homier?
A: Make it “you”! Show off your personality. Display family photos and heirlooms, pottery your children made in school, your favorite books and magazines. They’ll all help to create a look that’s uniquely you.
Q: How can I stay within my decorating budget?
A: For most people, decorating a room is a work in progress. You’re better off with a few good pieces than a room full of “throw away” furniture. Begin with the basics (sofas, tables, lamps), decorating in stages as your budget allows.
Q: What’s the best game plan for arranging a room?
A: First determine how the room will be used. Then size up your needs, room dimensions, and the architectural features such as a fireplace or bookshelves. Next choose the element you want to be the focal point of the room. Then add to your design scheme choosing elements based on size and function.
Q: How do I work with a designer?
A: Design consultants can simplify decorating by determining your needs and preferences with just a few simple questions. They’ll listen to your ideas and off you suggestions…when you want them. Isn’t this beginning to sound like finding a new best friend?
