Find the Perfect Fit for Your Dining Room Table

'Tis the season for entertaining.  Slumberland Furniture realizes that during the holidays, we find ourselves around the dining room table a lot, whether it's a formal meal, family game time, or morning cups of coffee and small talk.  All of the extra time around this multi-functional piece of furniture may make you take a second look at your current dining room table.  If you are ready to make an update, the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has some advice for finding the perfect fit.  

Your dining room table should match your design style, but there are also a few technical aspects to consider when choosing one for your home.  It will need to fit sensibly into the room and offer enough space for the number of people that will be using it regularly.  These tips should help you to decide exactly what you need to be looking for.   


SIZE

The scale of the table to the room is very important.  It shouldn't overwhelm the space, but it still needs to be large enough for everyone to eat comfortably.  A few guidelines to follow to choose the best sized table for your home are:

• There should be 3-4 feet of space between the edges of the dining room table and the furniture or walls surrounding it.
• Each diner needs to have about 2 feet of space.
• The suggested amount of space between the table top and a light fixture above it is 30 inches.
• If the table will be placed on a rug, make sure that enough space is left to push chairs out without getting caught on the edges of the rug.

SHAPE

The shape of your dining room table seems like a style decision, but it also lends to the functionality.  Different table shapes cater to different needs.  

• Rectangle:  This is by far the most popular table shape purchased.  It can accommodate large groups of people and fits nicely with the shape of most dining rooms.  It is perfect for narrow spaces because it lets foot traffic flow nicely
• Oval:  Many diners can also fit around an oval-shaped table.  These are nice for adding a few curves to the design of a room, especially if much of the other furniture has straight edges. 
• Square:  Smaller rooms work well with a square table, and leaves can be added if you ever need a little more room for guests.
• Round:  Also nice for smaller rooms, this shape is wonderful for more intimate interaction at the table.  A Lazy Susan is perfect for the center of a round table.

STYLE

Once you decide the size and shape of the table that will work the best for your dining room, it's time to pick out the style.  If you entertain often, you may lean toward a formal look, or if your table is used daily for family meals, you may be more interested in one with more of a "homey" feel.  Our Osage Beach furniture store offers a wide variety of styles.  A little searching through our diverse inventory is sure to find plenty of options that are perfect for what you want in your dining room.  

Slumberland Furniture's knowledgable sales associates are also ready to help you narrow down your decision.  Tell us what you are imagining for your home, and we can point you in the right direction.  When you are ready to update your dining room furniture, or any other room in the house, visit the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks for all of your home decor needs.     

It's a good life!

Dress Up Your Bedroom with our Luxurious Bed Linens

The bedroom is the one room in your house that is the most "you."  The others will most likely reflect the personalities of everyone in the home, but the bedroom is all yours.  The way you decorate it should reflect how want to feel while you are in there.  We have many beautiful and luxurious bed linens at the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks to help you accomplish just that.  One visit to Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach and you should find the perfect look for the bedroom that you are dreaming of. 

The first thing you see when you open your eyes in the morning, and the last thing before you close your eyes at night, is your bedroom.  The colors and accents that you surround yourself with are bound to have an impact on your mood for the entire day.   

Calm & Peaceful

More than likely, you use this room mostly for sleeping.  Choosing colors that make you feel relaxed and at ease can help with a restful night's sleep.  Cool shades that are wonderful for promoting sleep are blue, purple, and grey.        

Bright & Bold

Some people can't resist playful colors.  If you have no trouble sleeping and can't stand a room without a little lively personality, then brighter colors may be the way you should go.  Kids usually prefer the fun & bright linens, but so do the young-at-heart.  

    

Plain or Patterned

The bed is the centerpiece of a bedroom.  You may choose to really make it stand out with a boldly patterned print.  The rest of the bedroom won't need a lot added to it.  If you would rather have lots of pattern and accent pieces around the room, it's very easy to do this when you use plain linens.  If you like to redecorate often, a plain, neutral quilt goes with almost anything.  Another option is to purchase one of our duvets.  One comforter insert and different duvets allow you to change the look of your comforter often without buying an entire new one.    

If you are searching for bed linens at the Lake of the Ozarks, take a look at what Slumberland Furniture has to offer.  You will find an incredible variety of styles, colors, and sizes for every bed.  We carry many different bedding packages, depending on what you are needing.  You will find comforters, bed skirts, shams, quilts, duvets, comforter inserts, and decorative pillows.

Think about how you would like for your bedroom to make you feel, then visit our furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks to pick out the perfect linens for it.  When you are looking for comfort, luxury, and style, look no further than Slumberland Furniture.        

It's a good life!

Boost Your Mood With Color

The colors around you can greatly affect your moods.  Temperatures will be dropping soon, and you'll be spending a lot more time indoors.  Now is the perfect time to visit the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks and find the most enjoyable colors for every room in your home. 

It's natural to automatically search out your favorite color when you are shopping, but that's not necessarily the best strategy when it comes to furniture.   A color that you don't normally lean towards may be the perfect one for the mood you want to set in a particular room.  

Colors behave in three basice ways:  active, passive, and neutral.  Bedrooms should feel relaxing and serene, living rooms should be happy and inviting, and dining rooms should feel appetizing.  Here is a list of how most colors basically make a person feel.   

RED
Red is a color that promotes high energy.  It works well in rooms where a lot of activity happens.  It can stimulate conversation in a living room, and touches of it are great for productivity in a home office.  It has been known to increase heart rates and raise blood pressure though, so if your job is already stressful, limit its presence in the office.     

YELLOW
Reminiscent of sunshine, yellow in small doses can bring cheer and happiness to a room, but an entirely yellow room tends to cause feelings of frustration.  A yellow chair in a living room is an energizing touch, or add a rug full of yellow tones.  It is also wonderful in kitchens.     

   



ORANGE
Excitement, enthusiasm, and energy are evoked from the color orange.  If you have a room set aside for exercise or creative endeavors, this is an excellent color to include.  You can easily bring it in with artwork, side tables, or throw pillows.  



BLUE
Blue brings on feelings of calmness and serenity. It has been found to bring down blood pressure and slow the heart rate.  Blue accents and linens are perfect for sleep in a bedroom.  This is one color that actually works beautifully in every room.  Be wary of the shade, though, because some blues can bring on a chilly feeling.  Stick with the warmer hues.      

GREEN
This color is said to be the most restful for the eye.  Mixed from cheerful yellow and calming blue, it also works well for any room in the house.  It causes feelings of restfulness and tranquility. Because of the fact that it has been said to promote fertility, many people wanting to start families love it for the bedroom.    






PURPLE
Due to its relation to passion, purple is also a good bedroom color.  It is often associated with luxury and sophistication, and it is thought of as a color of royalty.  An impressive, elegant room can be put together with dramatic purple accents.   





Mixing more than one color in a room can work beautifully, but we suggest that you use no more than three in one room.  Any more may cause a very cluttered feeling.  

Now that you know more about the psychology of colors, you can decide what feelings each room in your home should give you, then head to Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach to pick a few out.  Our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store has everything you need to outfit your home beautifully for a good life.  
     

It's a good life!
