Comfort is a State of Mind

Posted under Uncategorized | Comments (0)

: Sleek and Modern

: Traditional look

What does comfort mean to you? To some, a sleek modern uncluttered look says “I’m home.” To others, an overstuffed sofa and an end table full of favorite books is what says relaxation.
What we’ve determined is that comfort is a “state of mind” but it’s so individual, it’s really that it’s a “State of your mind!” That’s why we offer so many looks, selections and ways to make your room your place.

While walking into one of our stores, with lots of great collections displayed so beautifully, may seem overwhelming, there are a few simple ways to get the décor you’ll enjoy for years to come.

Here’s how to pick your furniture:

1)     Plan your room before buying – Get a few opinions and professional help
2)    Get everyone in the family involved
3)    Size the furniture to the space, not too large or small
4)    Buy for the long run – Furniture is an investment in your lifestyle
5)    Leave “flexible use” pieces and spaces in your plan
6)    Make sure it’s your “style” of comfort
7)    Allow for seasonal decorating

One of the definitions of the word “Comfort” at dictionary.com is: 8. a state of ease and satisfaction of bodily wants, with freedom from pain and anxiety.

You can create an oasis of relaxation by following the tips above and creating the physical expression of the “State of your mind”. Please check out our Roomplace magazine, Your Home, for design tips and suggestions.

Some tips on entertainment placement and TV size for the room can be found at HGTV. While Bigger may be better in theory, the distance you sit from the TV should be roughly 2½ times the TV measurement, which is done diagonally across the screen to come up with the size number you see. In other words, on a 47” (almost 4 feet) measurement TV, you should have roughly 10 feet from where your head is to view the TV to the TV screen. This is just a rough rule of thumb, but a good guideline.

Please check our selection of Home entertainment solutions at TheRoomplace.com, and call for details or come in to see our entertainment centers.
