Winter is long and the weather is cold and there’s not much we can do about that – but we can make the best of it by warming up our living spaces. From warm, deep colors and fresh, new furniture to your favorite candles and décor, you’ll be ready to hibernate the winter away. Below are this year’s latest trends on how to warm up your space!

England Furniture's Jaden Sofa

1. Soft Textiles

Nothing beats laying down on the couch and cozying up to a warm, fuzzy blanket. Having a blanket an arms-length away at all times is a must, so keep one on the back of the sofa, folded at the foot of the bed, or even tossed in a basket. Materials like flannel, cotton, wool and cashmere are all great choices to go with! Blankets are also a great way to add a pop of color or design to the space and many seasonal blankets bring a bit of holiday cheer to the space. Pictured above is the England Furniture Jaden Sofa which is designed with a wintery pattern on the sofa cushions.

2. Cozy Colors

Cozy colors are deep blues and reds, shades of gray and even warm wood tones. A great way to incorporate the brighter colors like red or blue is to do it through curtains, pillows, and an accent chair like the England Furniture Wilder Chair and throw rugs. When it comes to warm wood tones, there are tons of tables out there that are the perfect shade to help warm your space.

Benefits of Buying American-Made Furniture

In recent decades, American manufacturing has fallen behind, as inexpensive products can be shipped across the world rapidly. Factory jobs in America are not as plentiful as they once were, and mass produced lower-quality items line shelves. Over fifty years ago, the brothers who founded England Furniture decided they would not sacrifice quality and ship jobs overseas. That legacy is still a driving force behind England Furniture. Here are a few benefits of buying American-made furniture.

American Job Creation

As demand for American-made furniture remains strong, companies can continue expanding and hiring skilled craftsmen and women, as well as corporate staff. Participating in a movement to invest in a piece of furniture made in America is a statement that helps American companies keep their operations in the States. Recently, England Furniture announced that 200 jobs would be added to their company in the coming year as a result of strong growth.

Low Carbon Emissions

All of England Furniture’s pieces are created in Tennessee, and don’t have to cross an ocean to get to you. This means that there is less fuel needed to transport furniture from the warehouse to your house. With less exhaust smoke is in the atmosphere, air quality improves for everyone around the globe.

Fast Turnaround

England Furniture innovated their operations to be able to deliver customizable pieces of furniture in three weeks or less. This fast delivery does not come at the cost of quality, which is incredibly important when purchasing a piece that will be in your home for years to come. Additionally, being made in America, furniture orders don’t run the risk of being held up at customs, which can cause furniture to arrive weeks later than intended.

Twin Sleeper Sofa | Four Reasons You Need a Twin Sleeper Sofa

Twin Sleeper Sofa

Need a place for your guests to sleep but you don’t have a whole lot of space? For apartment renters who welcome friends and family overnight often, a twin sleeper sofa can be just the thing they need. Here are a few reasons you should get a twin sleeper sofa:

The Right Size

A twin sleeper sofa takes up a smaller amount of space than a full or queen sleeper sofa, so it’s also great for that small nook in your house or apartment. For a guest staying the night, you want to offer them a warm, safe place to rest their head. Without the space for a larger sleeper sofa, an air mattress also won’t cut it. A twin sleeper sofa is often the perfect size for someone living in a studio apartment.

Comfortable As A Chair And A Half

Because of how wide a twin sleeper sofa is, this piece of furniture feels more like a chair and a half. Cuddle up with a soft blanket and a great book, and you’ll have this sofa all to yourself. Or, if you want room to cozy up to your pet, this chair is the perfect size for that as well.

Kid’s Sleepovers

This size sleeper sofa is especially helpful for your child’s sleepovers. Once it’s lights out, both kids can sleep tight on comfortable mattresses. This slimmer sleeper sofa can fit right in your child’s room and double as the sofa where you two can read goodnight stories before bedtime.

Makeshift Chaise Lounge

If you want the comfort of a chaise lounge, but don’t have the budget or space for one, a twin sleeper sofa can fold out to provide you with the comfiest spot in the house to binge your favorite shows on. If you like to do work on your computer, you can sit cross-legged or stretch out your legs on the folded-out mattress as well.

The Seabury Twin Sleeper (pictured) by England Furniture provides all the comfort and convenience you could ever want in a twin sleeper sofa. With hundreds of fabrics to choose from, you can have the twin sleeper sofa of your dreams.

England Furniture Reviews Chair Types

England Furniture Valerie Swivel Chair

Simple and chic. Sometimes that’s all you need to pull a room together. Here, England Furniture reviews the perks of finding your perfect accent chair that completes the look you have in mind.

Swivel Chairs
These chairs are functional and fashionable, especially those created by England Furniture. Pictured is the Valerie Swivel chair, which has slightly flared arms and a reversible T-cushion seat. Swivel chairs move with you if you want a little something extra from a stationary chair.

Recliners
There are endless designs to choose from when you decide on adding a recliner to your space. Recliners are great when you don’t have an interest in getting an ottoman, but you still want to put your feet up after a long day. These chairs come in so many shapes, and can even come with a high-leg, which are really recliners in disguise.

High Leg
Chairs with high legs don’t sit directly on the ground with hidden legs. They come in three main designs: Tapered, Turned, or Curved. Tapered legs are more mod, as the legs have a sleek, straight edge. Turned legs tend to look more traditional, with rounded edges. Curved legs have a classic feel straight out of earlier times, that can best be described as looking somewhat like the shape of a clawfoot tub’s legs.

Rocker
Rockers are more than just your grandparent’s chair. England Furniture has a variety of rockers, such as the Natalie Chair, which is wrapped in comfort. Rockers are great for a baby’s room to calmly lull them to sleep.

 

England Furniture Reviews the Boone Collection

When you want rustic, statement furniture that looks great and will stand the test of time, look no further than the Boone collection. Here, England Furniture reviews this collection. This set features a sofa and loveseat, pictured in a chocolatey brown leather, but it can also come with a chair and ottoman. There’s no substitute for authenticity, and these bold pieces of furniture are no exception. The sofa and loveseat feature broad rolled arms, comfortable back cushions, and high tapered wooden legs.

These pieces look great when paired with the Literal Cocktail Ottoman, featured here, as well as the Langley chair with or without nails. The cowhide on the back of the Lorenzo Chair picks up on the deep browns in the surrounding furniture and the white walls.

This furniture is made with quality craftsmanship in the foothills of Tennessee where the factory has been employing locals for decades. American made furniture means you can trust you’re getting a quality piece that will last for years. Not only is the leather strong enough to stand the test of time, but the structure and the cushions are also built to last.

England Furniture Reviews the Tara Collection

England Furniture Tara Collection

There are so many furniture options out there, so it’s important to ensure you are investing in quality when making your purchase. Contemporary furniture, like the sleek pieces in the new Tara Collection is often mimicked by manufacturers who use cheap materials and mass produce identical products. England Furniture takes pride in their made-in-America furniture, using high quality wood, springs and fabrics. Here, England Furniture reviews what’s inside their high-quality sofas, chairs, loveseats and ottomans.

The frame is made from frame-grade plywood, which has few voids between its layered panels. It’s a stronger material that’ll last decades longer than bargain options. Under the cushions hide narrow sinuous springs, instead of the wide loop springs other manufacturers use. These springs offer more support and a longer lasting seat.

The arms are coated in a thin layer of sheeted fiber, in addition to two inches of foam. Other furniture companies use only fiber to cover their arms. The foam core of our cushions is much larger than many other brands, and is wrapped in a fiber wrap. Often, other manufacturers cut corners and wrap in a higher pile of fiber to give the appearance of a comfortable cushion. Theirs last only a year, while ours are warrantied for ten years.

All these elements come together in the Tara collection, which includes a sofa, loveseat, chair, and ottoman. These pieces can come in styles with a nailhead trim for added detail. The high legs are a hallmark of contemporary design.
