Place to Be

by

5WJjRfX0Loen_ChairMy childhood home growing up was always the go to place for all my friends.  My sisters and I always had all our friends over for slumber parties, play dates or just to hang out and watch movies.   This was an every weekend occurrence.   Due to the busy nature of our house having durable, strong furniture was a must.  If we didn’t have furniture that could take the hustle and bustle of constant action my parents would have to replace our furniture every year or two.  Which would not only be an expensive buy very often, but an annoyance as well. Furniture use to be made to be strong.  It used to be made to last generations and to be passed down.  It is a hard task to find furniture with that type of tenure now a days.

After many furniture purchases throughout the years by my parents they finally found a place that would give them exactly what they were looking for in all areas. This local St Louis store, called Peerless Leather Furniture, are masters in the craft of exceptional leather furniture. Having been in business for over 100 years has allowed them to perfect the craft of durable, luxurious leather furniture.

St Louis Peerless Leather Furniture store first opened there doors in 1904.  Only the best brands are carried in their stores.  These brands include Flexsteel, Fjords, Klaussner, and Natuzzi.  Each of these brands are highly sought after all over the world. No other leather furniture store in the St Louis area can do it like Peerless Leather Furniture.  They are masters in the craft and personally saved me parents money since their furniture is made to last for years.

Streamlining is Making a Comeback

by

St. Louis MOThroughout the 90’s and into early 2000’s there was a furniture trend that gave way to the notion that bigger is always better. Oversize furniture began taking over home across the nation. However, unless you absolutely have to have that oversized sofa in the middle of the living commanding the attention of everyone, swallowing your guests whole; you may want to consider keeping it in the theatre room or getting rid of it altogether. As of lately, the trend is to create a perfect balance between the structure of the home with the furnishings inside. If your furniture and accessories are overtaking your home consider downsizing. You may be surprised at what a difference a smaller sofa of less accessories can make in a home. I can speak from experience when I say that having less in your home can make it easier to enjoy the space and more comfortably host your guests.

At Peerless Furniture in Fairview Heights, IL you will find a number of furniture pieces which will give you the seating space you desperately need for your family and guests without overtaking your entire living space. The Klaussner brand has an exquisite line of furniture known as the Craven line. They have marketed a Craven section which uses long sleek lines and lowered armrests. The design of this piece allows for ample seating without infringing on conversation and the design of the rest of the home. Each piece speaks volumes without overstepping boundaries. You can shop the Klaussner lines at your local Peerless Furniture store near Edwardsville, IL or begin by perusing their online inventory database. Contact a sales representative today to learn more about each of the Klaussner lines available at Peerless Furniture.

Avoiding Common Design Mistakes – Part II

by

ILIn keeping in line with the previous article we will continue to expound upon the subject of avoiding some common design mistakes as suggested by the Flexsteel furniture company. We first covered the subject of color and lighting. The next common mistake is one of weak windows. A window is essentially an open canvas, if you will. You can change the look and feel of a window simply by changing its window treatment. A common mistake with window treatments is that they are sometimes hung too low or too high, don’t cover the correct parts of the window, or not enough of the widow. In order to avoid these mistakes be sure to take precise measurements before shopping for the treatments. A heavy drape may drag down a window and swallow it whole. Choose something that will compliment the room as well as the pieces purchased from the Peerless leather furniture store near St. Louis, MO.

Deciding just which rug is best to accent your new hardwood floors can seem daunting as well. The worst thing you can do to a room is lay a rug that is far too small for the space. It will look out of place and like a lost little piece of carpet. Instead determine which area you want to accent and purchase a rug accordingly. Your purpose is to accentuate the best features of the room and the furniture. The rug should blend into the room.

Finally, keeping it simple will allow visitors and family to enjoy each piece you’ve chosen. Cluttering up a small space is easily done, with children it’s even easier! Try and keep the knick knacks to a minimum in order to allow the floors, walls, and choice pieces of furniture shine through in their best light.

 

Avoiding Common Design Mistakes – Part I

by

bILWhen it comes to designing and decorating your new home or just giving your home a new look the task can seem a bit daunting. There are endless resources on what to do and what not to do. However, when it comes down to it, the design of your home and the decor in it must fit your personality and style, and no one elses. To get just the right look and feel you can turn to your trusted leather furniture store in Fairview Heights, Peerless Furniture. They carry all the top brands of leather furniture manufacturers. These include Flexsteel, Natuzzi, Canadel, Fjords, and Klaussner. You can mix and match between brands to achieve a completely one-pf-a-kind look or choose one look from one brand to decorate your home. Either way it will turn out inspiring and just right.

The Flexsteel brand suggests there are a number of common mistakes made by home decorators that can be easily avoided in order to achieve just the right look. First of all, they tackle the subject of light and color. Many people shy away from color when choosing furniture. However, choosing a brighter color piece of furniture, or a bolder color, you can easily achieve a high accented look without being too overbearing. It is a great way to add just a splash of boldness to the palate of your home.

In light of, well, light, sometimes less is more. There’s nothing a little more unnerving to sit on an extremely comfortable and inviting piece of furniture only to realize you’re sitting right next to the family interrogation lamp that is letting of heat for up to five feet away. Keep lighting soft to create a much cozier home. Leave the bigger lights for the bigger rooms. The best lighting is often achieved from lamps and floor lighting rather than from overhead lighting. When in doubt, simply use an accent lamp.

The framing start by using moisture resistant, cross-grain laminated wood. this wood is so strong they guarantee it for a lifetime! The joints of the wooded frame are dado-cut overlapping joints. Each joint is specially reinforced giving it the sturdiness to withstand just about any type of use you can dream up.

The seat springs are what brings the sofa to life. You want something that gives where it should and stays put where it should as well. The seat springs used by Flexsteel are so durable they too come with a lifetime guarantee. From there the sofa is padded over and over in comfort.

Lights! Decor! Cozy!

by

Edwardsville, ILAn open floor plan is one of the most common floor plans on the market right now. Having an open floor plan allows you to feel apart of the entire home at one time. Rather than sectioning off each individual room more and more families are choosing an open floor plan. It allows room for the kids to play, mom to cook, and dad to watch the game all from nearly the same room. It allows everyone to feel “together” while all having their own space. If you are new to decorating the open floor plan it can pose its challenges to say the least. The great room being one of the most widely used rooms can be one of the most challenging to decorate. However, following a few common rules you can design a great room that is functional just as much as it is cozy.

Start with the walls in work inward. Choose a color for the walls. Because of the larger living space you can easily get away with darker and warmer colors. Typically a great room will have ample number of windows thus giving you lots of natural light to work with. Use this to your advantage. You can easily take some color risks where you may not have before. Now’s the time to flex your color muscle.

Decide where your focal points will be and build up. Decide if you want the seating point towards the great view of the outdoors or at the wonderful fireplace or even the television. Once you have that decided you can begin choosing which pieces of furniture you would like from your local new leather furniture store near Edwardsville, IL. You can mix and match with what they have at the store to get just the right look.
