7 Ways Of Turning Your Bedroom Into A Retreat!

~ Naomi Pederson

Sleep is so important to us. We need a certain amount of sleep each day in order to become optimally healthy. One of the most important things that you can do to help you sleep better is to turn your room into a place that is uncluttered, and encourages rest and relaxation.

Showhome Furniture LOVES our bedroom suites and anything to do with creating a space that you look forward to spending time in! If you are struggling on how to create this with your bedroom give Showhome Furnitures a call and book your free design consultation. We love helping our clients out.

Here are seven ways that you can help turn your own bedroom into a wonderful place of relaxation.

First declutter your room. Go through your closets and get rid of the clothing that you never use. Get rid of old make-up, socks, and accessories. If you have anything else hanging out in your room that you don’t need, just clear it out. We have a great motto that we use all the time, “When in doubt, throw it out”. If you don’t know what to get rid of, call a friend and ask them to help. Sometimes an impartial person helping you choose what to keep and what to get rid of helps out a lot.

Next paint your walls a light color. Lavender, light blue, soft grey and green are all great choices to work with. If you have a fabulous bedding set, or gorgeous bed, try to match the wall colors to them, this will save you time and money in the long run.

When you paint, if you can completely empty out your bedroom that is a bonus. With an empty bedroom you will be able to choose what goes back in your bedroom and what is forever left out.

Your bed is the most important piece of furniture you need to consider. Getting a great bed, and mattress will change a rough night into a blissful experience. At Showhome furniture we have a ton of choices for beds, and we carry Serta’s high end mattresses.

Another thing that we carry, and that I absolutely love, is a movable vibrating bed. This is great for those who have bad backs because you can adjust the height to fit your needs and make you most comfortable.

Once you have picked your bed, choose appropriate sized end tables. If you have chosen a larger bed, it makes sense to pick a bulkier set of end tables. Not only do they look great, but they are great for storage.

If you have room, this is the time to choose your dressers, or armouir if you need one. The less furniture that you need the better because it will give you room to accessories and add extra touches to make your room more useable.

In a larger bedroom, adding a chair, or a desk and lamp are great options to making your bedroom fit your different activities.

A rug will make your room feel cozy. You don’t have to have huge rug, just a smaller one at the end of the bed or on each side of the bed works great.

Can you fit in a small bench at the end of your bed? If you can we highly suggest you do. Depending on what one you get it can be used for dressing as well as storage.

Lastly (or firstly if you already had one) the bedding in your room and the pillows can change a humdrum room into a retreat immediately. Even if that is all you did to your room after decluttering, you would see an instant affect.

If you have any questions or would like to book a free consultation with our amazing designers don’t hesitate to call us.

Stunning Canadian Made Showhome Custom Furniture

~ Naomi Pederson

I was visiting my sister recently and marveling at her 100-year old house and all the fine details that each room possessed.  I was amazed at the craftsmanship displayed throughout her home. The high ceilings and the handmade moldings around the windows were details that added beauty and functionality to her space without calling too much attention to themselves. 

As we chatted I noticed her dining room chairs.  They were the same chairs that my mother had in her home and raised all her 11 children with.  They were beautiful and when, out of curiosity, I asked how old they were I was delighted to find out that they were more than 50 years old and layered with almost as many layers of different paints to match the latest trends.  These were good solid chairs. 

They were definitely a good investment as sometimes it is hard to find wooden chairs that will last 5 years!!

This is why at Showhome Furniture we do what we do.  We have worked hard to find good quality furniture that can withstand the rigor of today’s active family from a local company.  Not only do we want the best furniture, we also want furniture that has been built with love, attention to detail and in the most ethical way possible and one that supports our local Canadian industry.

At Showhome Furniture we are transparent about where our furniture comes from and who it is that builds it.  Just as we don’t take shortcuts with our furniture, we do not run a business at the expense of our employee’s lives, or at the expense of our customers wallet!

We love them because they are quality through and through, and did I mention that they are made right here in Canada?  That means that your hard-earned money stays in our country benefiting more than just your home at each purchase.

At our custom Canadian made furniture factories, it is obvious that they have been raised with good honest Canadian values and this shows in their workmanship.  Not only are their furniture stunning, beautiful enough to grace the nicest home, but they are also truly a quality work of art that when stripped down one can see is made to last throughout the ages.  Corners are reinforced with blocks, staples and then glue making their pieces solid. 

Their wood frames are made of a combination of kiln-dried hardwood and thick CNC engineered plywood parts that give accuracy and precision every time.

Showhome Furniture knows that buying new furniture is an investment and we don’t take your investment lightly. 

We endeavor to do everything that we can to ensure that every piece of furniture that you purchase from us is something that will last throughout the years.

Call us if you would like Showhome Furniture design team to help you pick the best furniture for your space.  We will work with your existing furniture to help you create the home you always wanted.
