Moving on up!

Out with the old and in with the new! Many young people find themselves in the same debockle when graduating from college. These graduates begin to move out of "student living" environment and into their new apartments and/or homes. They're left with their old hand me down furniture and are faced with the journey ahead. This change can be exciting yet overwhelming. However, new furniture can jump start this next chapter in ones life. Your home is also a place that should be a haven and retreat. Shopping for furniture can be both theraputic and satisfying. Also, if your landlord allows, throwing color on the wall can set the rooms mood. The experienced and friendly staff at the Sofa Outlet can be the ones to guide you through this transition. The Sofa Outlet specializes in custom sofas and offers more than 450 styles including contemporary, traditional, transitional, nuevo and casual chic, with 700 fabric choices. With all these options you are gaurenteed to find your own sophisticated style!

In the Love-seat.

When couples come into the Sofa Outlet is when they really get to know one another. Who would have thought that a couple searching for their furniture could make or break a relationship? Someones style can tell a lot about that  person and when couple's are put in the position of really taking a look at each others style they learn a lot about one another. From choosing paint to the style of a sofa, couples for the most part don't know much about one another. This can lead to either harmony or a complete disaster. Depending on the couples ability to make compromises for one another can determine how well that couple works together and understands each others needs.

Embrace your CURVES!

Finding a way to utilize a space is a challenge that many people come across.  Adding a curved sectional to your room can create the soft division it needs.  It also grounds the room and gives it a cozy feel.  Whether it is fabric or leather, this is a fantastic option for a 'great room' or if you just need extra seating in your home.

Just add NAVY.

All you need in life is a little navy. And let me tell you at the Sofa Outlet we just can't get enough! Adding navy pillows on a white slipcovered sofa, a contemporary navy print wallpaper, or a nautical navy print on your bedspread can give your room the sophistication it needs with no effort at all. Navy is such a classic color you can't go wrong. Paring navy with soft complimentary or contrasting colors will give the navy a chance to stand out.

Statement Pieces this Easter

The slightest changes can make all the difference in a room. A whimsical lamp or a fluorescent green vase can give impact on a room with a softer pallet. Most rooms that need a pick me up are perfect for these types of enhancements. The rooms neutral tones will create a complimentary backdrop for your statement piece to really shine. Also putting a few statement pieces around the room will draw your eye from focal point to focal point. In doing this you can create a even flow throughout your home. It is almost as if you are creating an Easter egg hunt with accents!

Mixing bright colors with neutrals.

Don't know what to do to spruce up your room? Start with the pop colors this season. Mixing your neutrals with a splash of color can give your room the facelift it needs and so rightfully deserves. In order to keep things exciting and your home a place you want to come back to every day starts with bringing accents, colors, and the things that remind you that this is the place "I" am meant to be.
