The Design Twins Incorporate a Bold Pattern

Balancing an accent wall and bold chairs is no easy feat. The Design Twins, tell us on their blog why they chose England Furniture. For them it came down to quality and style choice. Twins Julie and Jodie mention how England Furniture offers one of the best furniture warranties and how important it was for them that England Furniture is made in America. On their blog, they show how to make the hot new décor trends work by using the Tara Sofa and the Singleton Arm chairs from England Furniture.

The Tara Sofa gives a casual style while its tall tapered wood leg give it a more modern look. They paired this modern and casual sofa with two Singleton Arm chairs with the Mara Blue pattern, which they thought was a bold design move. As the saying goes, “the greater the risk the greater the potential is for reward!” The petite scale of the Singleton Arm chair is the perfect choice if you don’t want the chair to impact your personal space.

Why “Our Vintage Nest” blogger chose Rosalie by England Furniture

A favorite among many interior decorators is the Rosalie sofa. With its elegant rolled arms and wooden legs, this sofa has a lot of character. It comes with cushions that are upholstered on both sides, which gives you the ability to flip cushions. Something Alicia from Our Vintage Nest really appreciated with her Rosalie sofas were the details. She wrote on her blog how her sofas from the Rosalie Collection from England Furniture has a classic look, with just the right curves. She also mentioned how happy she was with the choice of fabric.

For Alicia’s home, she chose the fabric called Benavento Linen, which is not only a pretty color, but she also describes how she requested her fabric to be scotch guarded and how it really worked to protect from stains. Alicia had already experienced a few accidents, as a mom of two, and spills came up with ease. This sofa comes with the opportunity to choose from over 400 fabrics, so you can find just the color that suits your needs the best.

What’s the Difference in Leather Types?

LargeCocktailOttomanEnglandFurniture

It may be easy to be fooled when looking for quality leather products. There are plastic-based materials that try to emulate leather, but don’t last nearly as long. When it comes to furniture, you want to make sure that you purchase pieces that would last you for years to come. England Furniture has several different varieties of leathers to pick from in different colors and textures. The Larae Ottoman with Nails 3NO7ALN is only sold in leather, but in the colors of your choice. It features tall turned wooden legs with a sophisticated naihead trim.

Here is an England Furniture review on the four main types of leather.

Full Grain
It’s the most durable and highest quality leather. It contains the strongest part of the hide and includes all parts of the natural grain. This makes it more expensive to treat which also makes it cost more. This leather is like fine wine, it gets better with age.

Top Grain
Unlike Full Grain, the outer layer of the hide is removed from the Top Grain which puts this at second-place for quality leather. It’s also thinner and easier to work with, which brings the cost down. Some people enjoy this leather more because it has a more uniform surface than the Full Grain.

Split Leather
Suede falls under this type of leather and it’s made by splitting the bottom part from the grain. It’s textured to have a napped finish with a small pile.

Bonded Leather
This leather is only 17% real leather. Bonded leather is made by taking scraps of real leather, grounding them up with plastic and attaching them to a hard fiber backing. It’s lower quality which makes the product less costly.

Animal Print Living Room Furniture

One thing you can always count on is animal print being in style, but at the same time you should always keep it classy.  Before you go overboard with decorating your place with leopard patterns, you should give a little thought on how to incorporate it into your home. Animal print has a bad reputation, but that’s only when it’s overdone.  Try using a couple of pieces to your living space so that it doesn’t look tacky.

The Lorenzo Chair with Nails 4544HN is an England Furniture Company piece. The leather cow print chair is very fun without being overbearing on its surroundings. Because it’s black and white, it could fit in almost any room.

The Right Furniture Fabric for Your Lifestyle

fabrics

Ever watch a movie or TV show and fall in love with the furniture? You know, beautiful stark white down couches with a white shag throw rug and glass top coffee table? It can look picture perfect, but if you duplicate the style in a house full of kids and Rover the family pooch, that look might last about thirty seconds. Maybe.

We all want to live in spaces that make us happy and we can more readily do that when we are realistic about our lifestyles and what comes with it. People who enjoy entertaining will have a hard time with furniture that can’t be lived in because spills and accidents happen in life. If you have kids or children visit often, creating an atmosphere that is comfortable for them will end up making your life easier, especially if they wander a little too close to your collection of first editions while sucking on a juice box.

The colors and accessories we choose for our rooms should complement our personalities and accent the things we love. Sometimes it’s safe to have the main furniture be a neutral color and then use pillows and blankets as colorful accents. If you love leather or dark furniture, then you can brighten the room with lighter shades of paint and bright lighting. No matter what you decide, look at your lifestyle and try to match it to your home décor.

We can still fawn over that white furniture, but parents might want to hold off until the kids are a little bit older.
