Furniture Arrangement Tips

The process of arranging your living room is not always the easiest task. Depending on the size of your space and the furniture itself, sometimes it takes a few tries to get it right. Well, we want to save you some time (and possible back pain) by sharing some of the best furniture arrangement ideas we’ve stumbled upon.

Area Rugs
Don’t be shy about the size of your area rug. For the most part, the bigger the better. These make such a great addition in any living room because of their ability to bring warmth to a space and create a much cozier environment for everyone.

Find a Focal Point

No, we’re not talking about the 60-inch flat screen television. Try to find a natural focal point such as a fireplace or big beautiful window to have the furniture directed towards. As a bonus, this doesn’t put so much attention on conversing and allows it to happen more naturally.

Create Zones

When working with a larger room, feel free to divide up the space. A small table and chairs in one half of the room along with a loveseat and coffee table on the other allows for two different activities to take place in one location.

Find a Balance

An easy way to make a room look well put together is by symmetrically balancing the furniture. This is just a fancy way of saying that if you were to divide the room in half, each side would match up perfectly.

Make it Personal

Arranging the furniture face to face makes it easy for all guests to participate in conversation no matter where they happen to be sitting. 

Think Big

Another piece you really can’t go wrong with buying oversized is a coffee table. Be sure to find the right shape to compliment the space you are arranging but use it as a connection for all of the surrounding furniture. 

No matter which way you choose to design your space, what’s important is that the end result is a welcoming area you can share with family and friends. Life’s greatest joys come from these special moments with loved ones. Our team at Hennen Furniture is always ready to help you with your furniture needs. 

Exploring Flooring Options

Thinking of renovating or updating your living space? Flooring is often one of the first issues to tackle. The amount of flooring options currently in the marketplace is overwhelming. A simple breakdown of the five broad categories we carry at Hennen Furniture can help you to better understand and decide what best suites your interior.

1)    Wood- Nothing adds value, aesthetically and economically, to a space like a beautiful wood floor. Based off their sustainability and low maintenance alone, it will be well worth the investment.

2)    Vinyl- Its ability to resemble other types of flooring is one of the main reasons to choose vinyl. Sometimes, a genuine wood is out a homeowner’s budget, so a stylish vinyl with a similar wood floor finish is a great alternative.

3)    Laminate- High traffic areas such as entrances or hallways are prime locations for a laminate floor. Not only can it withstand the wear and tear but it’s also easy to clean due to its stain resistance quality. Plus, we all know high traffic also means all sorts of “accidents” will be inevitable.

4)    Tile- It’s easy to install and maintain. What’s not to love? Tile can also be used in nearly every room of your home, which is what makes it most popular among the variety of flooring types.

5)    Carpet & Area Rugs- This is a great option for any living space. The right carpet or area rug can dramatically soften the aesthetics of a room – perfect for the nights when you just feel like staying in.

When it comes to flooring, it’s all about what will suit your personal lifestyle and of course, the room itself. Don’t stress out if you’re still unsure. Hennen Furniture’s friendly staff is knowledgeable and ready to answer any and all questions.
