Furniture to Make Your Home More Modern
Furniture to Make Your Home More Modern

If you’re feeling like your space is a little outdated, or it’s a mishmash of several different looks and vibes that you don’t know quite what to do with, never fear. If you’re looking to update your space with a more contemporary vibe, Home Furniture Plus Bedding has picked out a few of our favorite pieces that will make a statement in any East Texas or Louisiana home.

Two-Tone Living Room Set
We are loving this living room set that screams contemporary. The two-tone high-quality fabric makes a statement without being too bold. The quilted backs add a nice homey touch for mom while the power footrests, headrests, and lumbar support are dad’s favorite when watching the game.


Modern-Farmhouse Bedroom Set
While the farmhouse style is very on-trend, the rustic look is truly timeless. With this bedroom set, farmhouse meets industrial with a combination of acacia wood and dark metal hardware. The faux barn doors add a hint of unique rugged style that can be paired with any color or patterned bedding.


Adding Brightness to your Dining Room
Most older dining room sets have a dark top, dark legs, and dark chairs to match. For those who want to brighten up their dining area, this set is absolutely perfect. The dark weathered brown top is great for hiding spills while the ocean-white table legs and chairs brighten up the overall aesthetic. Pair with any color area rug and you’ve got the perfect contemporary dining space.


Accent Pieces
If you’re not ready to replace your large pieces, start small. This side and coffee table set can be the perfect addition to your living room. The urban feel and neutral colors will go well with almost any color you might have already.

3 Ways Your Home Changes Your Life for Better or Worse
3 Ways Your Home Changes Your Life for Better or Worse

It may surprise you to know that what you surround yourself with every day can have a dramatic impact on your well-being. The mood you create through the elements that surround you will affect how you feel in each room of your home on a daily basis.

 Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana is here with just a few of the ways your environment can affect you on a daily basis.

 1. The Mood in Your Home
Your surroundings have the power to dramatically influence your mood. This can apply to color, décor, tidiness, and warm vs. cool elements in the room. Much like the way that the “winter blues” or seasonal depression moves in with the cold, dark, and often unwelcoming environment outdoors, the same emotions can occur indoors when the environment isn’t well suited to you.

Pay attention to how certain colors make you feel, which ones provide negative emotions, and which ones make you feel calm, happy, and at ease. You can adjust accordingly and create a space more suited to your needs.

2. Inspiration and Motivation
If your bedroom makes you feel down, because if it’s cramped or too empty, you may be more likely to sleep longer and struggle to get out of bed and start your day. If the color yellow makes you feel anxious and you spend much of your morning in your yellow dining room, you may struggle to keep a clear mind and focus on the tasks at hand – whether at home or at work.

Pay attention to factors in your environment that might be altering your motivation and drive, and work to solve those issues to create a better home environment that makes you feel happier and more energized.


3. Interaction
Your dining room and living room are likely to be the spaces where this area of impact is most prevalent. An area that is comfortable, inviting, and pleasing to the eye will likely positively affect the mood of family members and guests. Choosing dining room furniture that ultimately facilitates conversation and interaction will bring a light mood to your home!

What Makes Traditional Style Furniture, Traditional?
What Makes Traditional Style Furniture, Traditional?

It’s likely you’ve walked into a furniture store and have been asked about the style of the furniture in your home or the style you’d like to implement. Modern? Rustic? Farmhouse? One of the most classic styles that will remain relevant for years to come is traditional style furniture. Home Furniture Plus Bedding serving East Texas and Louisiana is here to dive into some of the elements that make furniture more on the traditional than modern.

Wood Accents
Most traditional pieces have dark, wooden elements associated with them. You are likely to find vertical, classic lines in the architecture of the pieces that are not distracting. Some wooden elements might even contain some ornate carvings that add and don’t take away from the overall style of the piece.

Neutral Colors
The color palette you’ll find in traditional furniture is usually understated. You’ll find most colors in a mid-range of tones with either very dark or very light colors acting as accents. If you want to implement traditional style in your home, you’ll want to steer clear from neon, bright patterns, or jarring combinations.

Accent Pieces
The accent pieces you find in a traditionally styled home do not draw lots of attention to themselves. They are meant to bring the whole room together and provide a homey and calm feeling. You might see this in the forms of lamp pairings, plants, mirrors, framed prints, vases, and ornate books. Typically these objects are placed to have balanced symmetry as well. If you happen to have a variety of antiques, these are perfect accents in any room. These can provide a sense of nostalgia as well as a timeless style.

Simplicity is Key
When thinking of traditional style, simplicity should come to mind. You won’t want an overly cluttered coffee table or a loud piece of art on the walls. For window treatments, you’ll want neutral-colored curtains that are mounted up high. A rug here and there is okay, but letting your polished floors to shine is a staple of traditional style.
