We care about you and want the next generation and beyond to keep coming back to us! All that said, we’ve learned over many years in the furniture business how best to advise families starting out on how to best choose kids’ furniture. Read on and learn!

First-Rate Kids’ Furniture Materials

In between rough play and rapid development your energetic child can easily turn lesser kids’ furniture into kindling faster than you think. That why Roses Flooring & Furniture offers you the finest materials for your new boys’ or girls’ bedroom set yet at closeout prices. Natural wood such as our classic oak kids’ bunks and kids’ study desks is a rightly regarded favorite, as are medium density fiberboard and plywood with veneers. When you’re in doubt about a kids’ nightstand or boys’ or girls’ dresser, make sure everything is at least 15mm thick, not a problem at Roses! Also, paint for kids’ furniture should be harmless solvents such as acrylic, acrylic-polyurethane, or oil-wax.

Check Your New Kids’ Furniture’s Hardware

The hardware on kids’ furniture is not visible at first sight so inspect a piece or set carefully. The dresser’s or chest’s drawer hinges and other mechanisms should have soft-close runners so your youngster doesn’t pinch her hands using the drawers.

Inspect Kids’ Furniture from All Angles

Take your time on our showroom floors inspecting each kids’ furniture piece you’re interested in. You can best assess the quality of the work and the furniture’s suitability for your child’s needs by looking at it from many different angles.

Consider Kids’ Furniture’s Livability

Next, when shopping for kids’ furniture, let’s look at ergonomics. No, you don’t need an engineering degree though that wouldn’t hurt. We mean imagine this furniture “in action” as your child or children use it every day, slamming drawers and all. A big part of this in picking the right kids’ bed is remembering that your child will grow a lot in a short time. Be sure to allow enough room for that when measuring a kids’ bed. For your child’s desk for study and play, keep in mind that the height should be about 40-45cm for a tyke under 6 years old, 52cm for a 6-7-year-old, 58cm for ages 7-8, and 70cm for 9-11-year-olds. This is important for your child’s posture and eyesight, being able to work comfortably and effectively.

It’s all happening in kids’ furniture and accessories such as fun kids' bedding at Roses Flooring & Furniture!

Remote-Work Fundamentals for Your Awesome Home Office Furniture from Roses!

As you’ve figured out by now you are far from the first person locally to be looking for trim, comfortable and durable home office furniture to transform a corner of your abode into a high-function workstation. The remote-work revolution has been an example of creative destruction freeing many, many workers from the drudgery of a long commute and spending all day apart from the people and things they love. If that’s you, wonderful. Let’s celebrate! But before you stop by Roses Flooring & Furniture to choose a cool L-shape office desk or sit-stand desk converter so you can stretch in place by alternating sitting and standing as you dictate those emails, let’s take a look at the essentials you’ll need to make your work-at-home adventure a smashing success. Our Southeastern U.S. furniture stores are here to turn your dream job into a wondrous reality, and in a way that won’t put a big dent in your financial plans!

 

Well-Placed Home Office Desks and Chairs: Location, Location, Location!

As you look in your home for a place to strategically park your new executive desk and ultra-cushioned, neck-cradling office chair, be honest with yourself. Can you really work amid distractions such as your partner watching TV in the living room or your little ones and pets underfoot? If you can’t dedicate a whole spare bedroom to your home office, and you don’t need that to receive patients or clients face-to-face, consider something quieter such as a disused walk-in closet, properly ventilated of course. Here you or your resident budding scholar can work without undue noise getting in the way. Most of our customers appreciate a nook that’s near your home’s activity but far enough away so they can concentrate, oh, and have video meetings, a staple of 2020s work life, without interruptions!

 

How Much Room Do You Need for Your Home Workstation?

Next when designing the space for your new home office bookcases or file cabinets, take stock of all you’ve got for your job, break out the tape measure, and stake out your space! Ask yourself these crucial questions. Will I have enough room to move comfortably side to side, stand without bumping into anything, and comfortably sit back from your desk? Nobody is expecting you to sit ramrod straight in a broom closet all day. Professional designers suggest that for most remote-work setups you need about 5 feet by 7 feet of space. If you think you need more, consider one of our very movable bookcases, both libraries and mobile walls so your office can stretch like it never could before!

 

Choose Your Office Desk and Chair Wisely

We recommend a sturdy home office desk at least 4 feet across, sufficient for most modern business activity such as with your laptop and docking station. As for choosing an office chair, it would be best for you to stop by the Roses Flooring & Furniture store nearest you to “test drive” a few. That cool-looking midcentury number might leave you feeling pinched and cramped while a wide wood banker’s chair may be the ideal complement to your home’s classic design as well as a practical place to sit for long periods.

Let’s get started on kitting out your ideal home office with cool work-from-home furniture always for closeout prices at Roses Flooring & Furniture!

In Time for the Holidays: The Ins and Outs of Awesome Accent Furniture from Roses

Now that you’re gearing up for the holidays, it’s time to rethink your home’s accent furniture to better reflect who you are now as well as get in tune with the seasons. Particularly if you’ve had your home for a long time, people can change a lot, so you want decor items that mirror that in your personality, your experiences, and your aspirations. Luckily for you there’s the vast, seemingly endless selection of home accents and furniture accessories always available at Roses Flooring & Furniture! Count on our U.S. Midwest and Southeast furniture stores. We take the guesswork out of choosing and buying the perfect home accents for any abode. That’s because we have a keen eye for materials and construction based on our many years of accumulated knowledge. Show us the rooms you want to refresh and redecorate – here’s where pictures on your smartphone come in handy – and like a fairy-godmother design maven, Roses Flooring & Furniture makes the magic happen!

Just What Is Accent Furniture?

Here’s a quick interior-decorating lesson: furniture stores and designers define accent furniture as any piece of furniture that’s not essential or the main focus in the room. For example, in your living room you may have a sofa and coffee table, while a pouf chair or wall photo print is an accent. So is the console cabinet on which you place your favorite table lamp to spotlight your perfect matching photo frames of your once-in-a-lifetime vacation abroad. See what we mean? So accent furniture is anything extra to your room. Think of your home like a person dressing up. Our accent pieces are to your room as your fashion accessories are to you! They’re like the missing piece of the puzzle so something seems “off” if they’re not there. You may not strictly need that favorite felt hat, violent scarf or Amish-made belt but you’d miss them terribly if you had to go out without them. Same idea! When you don’t have enough home accents, you risk having a room that’s boring and lifeless. That’s why designers love subtly spicing things up with decorative painting or piles of accent pillows. And now, thanks to Roses Flooring & Furniture, so can you!

Clever Uses for Accent Decor

Here are some design secrets to effectively use accent furniture that we’ve picked over our many years in the furniture business. Is your room a bit shadowy even in the midsummer sun? Try not just accent lighting such as floor lamps and wall sconces. Save on your electric bill with strategically placed accent mirrors in lovely frames gracing your walls. An accent furniture piece need not be small either, only secondary to your room’s use, so a long accent cabinet or bookcase partition successfully grabs your attention, making the space interesting. Also, “the bolder, the better.” Your choice of accent accessories visually should deliver what designers call “pop.” They call attention to themselves exactly because they don’t match the rest of your room perfectly!

This upcoming holiday season give yourself the gift of beautiful home accents the right way from Roses Flooring & Furniture!

How to Pick the Perfect Dining Furniture for Your Space and Comfort

Yet another dining furniture season is here as customers like you anticipate Thanksgiving and the December holidays. You need not dread this but rather enjoy it thanks to Roses Flooring & Furniture’s phenomenal selections in this category. These include dining sets great and small. Remember: you don’t have to get your new dining table and chairs from the same set. Mix things up a bit for visual interest and for your comfort, and just to show off an endearing quirkiness through your décor as you serve another course of hospitality. Whether you’ve decided to get your dining table and chairs separately, or you want to keep the table you’ve got and upgrade the dining room seating, our Southeastern U.S. furniture stores have the styles and bargains you seek. Either scenario is an opportunity to refresh your decor affordably. Your dining room is a major stage to show off your hosting. We empower you to make the most of it! Here are some ideas to consider, based on professional interior design principles.

 

The Fun of Dining Room Benches

Roses’ assortment of dining room benches are a perennial favorite among families with young children that really use their dining furniture daily. They’re rugged and easy for restless youngsters to get on and off without disturbing anything or anyone. So consider getting one or two alongside traditional chairs.

 

Some Side Chair Advice

The dominant design principle for dining side chairs is that simpler patterns are more attractive in multiples. Go for materials that look solid and steer clear from bolder patterns. Will your dining furniture be doing double duty for porch or deck parties? Consider a side chair design that’s easily stackable. Is your dining room small? In that case, designers recommend side chairs with a “light” look such as an open back, extending your room’s sightlines for an optical illusion of more depth.

Slightly More Posh End Chairs for a Touch of Class

A time-honored way to arrange your dining room is to have a rectangular table with the places of honor at either end, distinguished by captain’s chairs with arms. This adds visual interest as well. Another reason for this preference is you can maximize your seating around the whole table. If you do go upscale with your end chairs, just be sure to measure carefully so you know they can slide into your table. One thing to watch for when doing this: tabletops are often thicker than you think. Another suggestion for stunning dining room end chairs is to make sure they complement your living room furniture because you might want to pull them into that room after dinner.

Cool, Different Dining Furniture: Avoid Matchy-Matchy

Choosing your dining room chairs apart from the table affords you an interior design opportunity the pros love: having dining room furniture that complements each other but doesn’t match exactly, considered a mark of elegance. This is also why contrasting end and side chairs are a favorite dining room choice. Another example of dining room furniture complementarity is to have all chairs and the table be of the same material, say, wood, but with chair legs differing from the table’s. Alternatively, you can contrast a traditional wooden table with some metal or clear plastic in your chairs.

For all your dining furniture requirements this season and beyond, including fun bar stools, enjoy the Roses difference in high quality and down-to-earth prices!

How to Choose the Right Mattress for You!

Our state-of-the-art mattress stores in the Southeastern U.S. offer the shopper so many options it’s hard to choose from! That’s why this month you friends at Roses Flooring & Furniture are helping you with a few basics so when you do stop by for one of our ongoing mattress deals, we can steer you in the right direction. Once you’re in-store our friendly and knowledgeable staff can learn a little more about what you seek in an innerspring or hybrid mattress to make sure your choice serves your comfort and health needs best!

 

Which Sleep Position Do You Prefer?

A new mattress might feel good at first but your preferred sleeping position might require a different firmness or extra head and neck support so you get the long-term health benefits over your king or queen mattress’s 10-year service life. So the first thing you’ve got to do is take an honest assessment of your sleep habits to determine your most frequently used sleep position, side, back or stomach.

Medium-Firm Mattresses for Side Sleepers

Most of our mattress store customers prefer to sleep on their side; about 3 out of 4 of you. In that case, make sure the medium-firm mattress you choose gives you enough support for your shoulders and hips. However, the mattress should be soft enough for some “give” to accommodate your elbow! Your new mattress will need enough padding to eliminate painful pressure points.

Firm to Soft Mattresses for Back Sleepers

If you’re one of the relatively few back sleepers, you’re in luck because shopping our mattress deals is so simple! Just about any of our full mattresses, for example, will give you the spinal alignment you need. What you’ve got to watch out for is proper head and neck alignment particularly if you suffer from sleep apnea, acid reflux or snoring. So you want a memory-foam mattress rather on the firm side to keep your head slightly elevated. That way you and a partner will enjoy an uninterrupted 7-9 hours of downtime in which your muscles rebuild and your mind dreams!

The Strongest Mattresses for Stomach Sleepers

Our firmest hybrid mattresses are best for the very few of you who are stomach sleepers. Don’t get a plush mattress because you won’t get adequate support from it. To best benefit from your new mattress, you need some resistance for your stomach muscles to keep your neck and spine aligned properly through the night.

No matter the size or firmness you require, get it from Roses’ mattress store showroom for less!

The Best Bedroom Layout Options and How to Select Furniture Color to Improve Your Daily Mood

There’s no doubt that well-chosen bedroom furniture from our Southeastern U.S. discount stores enhances any size and shape of boudoir and elevates your mood so you can confidently face all that the new day is to bring. This month, your friends at Roses Flooring & Furniture are taking a look at these aspects of furniture shopping and placement to help you choose the most awesome king or queen bed set and accessories such as drawered nightstands and mirrored dressers – the right ones for your square footage and on-the-go lifestyle. Be still; take it all in. Then shop Roses Flooring & Furniture where you can always and affordably take care of all your home furniture needs in one go! 

Fun and Funky Bedroom Layouts That Are Also Practical

It’s tempting to neglect attention to your bedroom furniture’s layout because this is a more private space in your home not subject to much scrutiny except by you and partner. But designers and other experts swear that only does artful rearrangement of your bedroom set make your daily routines go smoother – proper placement of your bed and other essentials will improve your mood in the long run. Even a tiny bedroom or oddly shaped floor can benefit from some strategic thinking in this regard. For instance, if you’ve gotta lotta space to fill, consider adding a sprawling king or California king poster bed plus an accent table and chairs for a sitting area, giving a luxurious “vibe.” This niche can also be ably filled by a classy bedroom vanity with a mirror so you don’t have to elbow for sink space every morning. If you’ve got lots of doors going in and out of your bedroom, better to look at simple frames for your bed. Actually for any small bedroom, design mavens swear “less is more”: actually get a more understated bedroom set such as blond wood inspired by midcentury modern. If you’re blessed to have an attached balcony with your bedroom, keep the floor space in front of those doors clear.

Choose a Bedroom Color for the Mood You Seek

It’s a well-known design principle that cool colors such as blues and greens calm you down while warm colors such as fiery reds and yellows rev you up! But the right color scheme for your bedroom furniture is as varied as there are people. For example, a gleaming white panel bed might be one couple’s dream but draining to another. Warm colors need not be overstimulating either. Consider the deep cherry hue of many colonial-style bedroom sets. Also, just like the famous little black dress essential to many ladies’ wardrobes, a bedroom set in black gives a grounding, centering feel to your room’s motif.

Whatever your space’s size or design them, the bedroom furniture of your dreams is always affordable at Roses Flooring & Furniture!
