Treat your Windows right and get some Privacy!

November 17, 2018 by Stoney Creek Furniture

Open, beautiful windows can enhance a room and fill it with light. They can however become an open door to your surrounding neighbours. Sometimes we want a little privacy, so here are a few options that allow for more seclusion:

windows

Blinds are screens typically on a roller, come in a huge variety of materials, and can be low in cost. Hunter Douglas blinds can offer easy light control, whereas shadings are fabric vanes held together by sheer material. Shadings allow some light to penetrate while permitting privacy.

Curtains are fabrics that hang and can be tied back. Drapes are similar to curtains except they reach the floor while curtains do not. Curtains and drapes offer a lot of style variety and come in an assortment of materials. You will want to avoid certain sheer fabrics such as silk if you seek privacy. Adding a blackout liner placed in between or behind your curtain/drapes can help prevent sunlight damage and create more privacy.

Shutters are often wooden panels that cover for light control and privacy. Wood offers insulation and a clean style. However be careful if you have rooms that are humid like the bathroom.

Keep in mind when looking for window treatments that you need to look for more than just function. Once you’ve settled on privacy don’t forget about: cost, trends, and style. It’s also important to take children into consideration. If you have young kids at home some trims, accents, or accessories can be dangerous. These factors will help you pick the right treatment for your room and needs!

Why stop at just style and privacy? Did you know the right window treatment could help you save on your energy bill as well? There is a type of revolutionary window film on the market that provides a protective shield which can block up to as much as 83% of the suns heat and rays in the summer. In the winter it acts as a thermal barrier that helps prevent the heat from escaping and helps retain up to 15% of your home’s warmth.

Feeling a little overwhelmed with all the options? Fear not! The experts from Budget Blinds Grimsby and Evolution Window Films can help! Come visit them at the Stoney Creek Furniture Inside Out Home Show on Thursday, March 20 from 5:30-9pm. These window treatment professionals can show you endless options and help you make the right decisions for your home!

Dining Rooms: Tables, Chairs & Entertaining Tips!

November 2, 2018 by Stoney Creek Furniture

One of the top trends in 2018 is a return to a designated dining space – whether big or small, elegant or casual, open or a ‘proper’ room. It’s about time! Nothing brings friends and family together like a delicious meal in a beautiful space.

The Modern Collection

The Modern Collection

At the heart of the dining room are the table and chairs. Once, choices were limited. Today, your options are endless. Consider the variety of options available:

  • Style. Whether you like traditional, modern, farmhouse, industrial or transitional – casual or formal – there are endless choices!
  • Shape. The classic rectangle is still perfect, but ovals and circles are popular too. Today, table bases are much more than ‘four legs’ with choices from pedestal to trestle to sawhorse and much more.
  • Size. Your small space can still house a table and chairs! There are lots of smaller scale options as well as tables that perform double duty and offer storage.
  • Finish. Polished dark wood is timeless, but is it your favourite? Light woods are popular again, or you can choose distressed wood, grey-toned wood or fresh white. How about mixed finishes or accents of metal, mirror or glass?
  • Seating. You can choose traditional matching chairs, of course, or perhaps mix it up! Have you considered bench seating or a banquette? How about special armchairs at either end of the table? Leather, upholstery, plain, patterned – what suits your style?

Top 10 Tips for a Fabulous Dinner Party

Whether it’s a Holiday dinner party or just a meal with friends, here are some of our favourite tips to make it a memorable meal:

  1. If you’re serving hot food, be sure the plates are warm to help keep the food at the ideal temperature.
  2. Experiment with your centrepiece.It doesn’t have to be flowers! Try an elegant display made with fruit, veggies or brightly coloured-foliage.
  3. Use the china, even if it’s an informal meal or take out!Serving chips and nuts as appetizers? Put them in a crystal bowl!
  4. Light with candles and low watt lamps. Nothing destroys ambience like harsh lighting! HINT: Ivory and white candles are best – always unscented.
  5. Light your backyard to open your space and prevent the ‘black window’ effect.Keep the windows exposed and illuminate your garden.
  6. Always use cloth napkins at the dinner table!
  7.  Use paper guest towels in the powder room. Much cleaner and fresher!
  8. Don’t try a new recipe at a party. Prepare something you’ve served before to rave reviews.
  9. Have a second bar/drink stand in the living room. It keeps guests mingling.
  10. Send guests home with a party favour.Even the smallest thing is appreciated.

The first word that comes to mind when I think of sectionals is ‘versatility’. No other piece of furniture provides so many options – in upholstery, size, style and configuration! What’s more, sectionals offer outstanding value and comfort. They often take the place of two (or even three!) sofas and chairs and are designed with contemporary living in mind.

Never considered a sectional? Please do! Here are a few reasons why sectionals are becoming a classic choice – and some inspiration to help you find the one that’s ideal for your space.

Endless options. Honestly, with the popularity of sectionals these days, if you can imagine it, you can have it! Whether your décor style is modern, traditional or farmhouse; whether you have a large or small space; whether you want a traditional or an ultra sleek look; whether you prefer leather, suede or fabric – it’s all available.

Speaking of fabric. Trends today are toward sectionals in neutral tones, providing a timeless foundation that makes it easy to go trendy with accessories, wall colour, etc. We suggest complementing neutral upholstery with cushions that have patterns or texture to keep the space inviting and interesting.

Configurations. Of course, the best thing about sectionals is the clever use of the corner to provide extra seating – and the options here are extensive too. Choose an L shaped configuration, a U shape, sides the same length, sides varying in length, seating mixed with chaise sections – whatever you need and want!

Performance and defender fabrics. Do you have a young family, pets or an active lifestyle? Today’s fabric protectors are amazing – providing your sectional with treatment that repels spills, stains and germs. It makes your sectional easier to care for, look newer longer – and provides peace of mind.

Ottomans and accent chairs. Not only does an ottoman with your sectional offer an extra seat and a place to put your feet, it also doubles as a coffee table. Find one that matches perfectly or offers delightful contrast. PS Accent chairs are another great way to inject a pop of colour.

Family gatherings. What’s my favourite thing about sectionals? They really do make it easy for friends and family to get together and enjoy each other’s company. Sectionals provide a cozy atmosphere that encourages conversation and togetherness.

If you need new seating for your living space, consider a sectional – there are so many exciting features and advantages!
