What to Look for in Children’s Furniture

Today there are plenty of options when you are ready to shop for children’s furniture. From cribs to bunk beds and everything in between, you can find what you need to fit your child’s needs. Individual beds in a variety of sizes, matching bedroom sets, loft beds and themed beds are just some of the children’s bedroom furniture you will find. When you shop for children’s furniture, it is important to look for safety and desirable features as well as durability and adaptability. You can find a wide array of name brand children’s furniture collections online and at showrooms in central New Jersey.

Here are some things to look for.

1. Bed Type

Whether you need a crib for an infant or a matching children’s bedroom set, you can find what you need for your child. There are more choices than ever before, from beds in twin and full sizes to loft beds and bunk beds in many configurations. Feed into your child’s vivid imagination with a themed bed that can initiate many hours of play.

2. Safety First

Safety is the main consideration when choosing children’s bedroom furniture. The Consumer Product Safety Commission issues guidelines for furniture safety. Avoid furniture with sharp corners and make sure the furniture is constructed well and not likely to break apart. Guardrails are a common safety feature found in children’s furniture collections from well-respected name brands that take safety seriously.

3. Durability

Children’s furniture gets a lot of wear and tear. Look for name brands that are well-constructed and easy to clean. Metal and high-quality wood products are materials that are likely to stand the test of time.

4. Matching Pieces

Browse children’s bedroom collections for boys and girls with matching pieces. Most sets come with a bed, a dresser, a nightstand and a mirror. Add to the set with matching chests, desks and other pieces like daybeds to fit your needs.

5. Features

Desirable features like storage drawers at the bottom of the bed to hold schoolbooks, electronics and toys are available on many youth furniture collections. Some furniture adapts to the needs of your child as he or she grows. A good example is a toddler bed that can be converted into a twin bed when the child is ready for the next step.

Stunning Armoires That Add Elegance to Your Home

Decorators know that adding a striking armoire is the perfect way to make your home more stylish and provide the storage space you need. An attractive armoire can help keep your bedroom neat and orderly by providing space for clothing and bedding behind closed doors. The armoire has become more popular in other areas of the house, like the kitchen and the great room. In recent years the armoire is used to hide electronics and the TV when they are not in use.

When you pick the right armoire, you are adding a distinctive accent piece that expresses your own personal sense of style. You can browse a large collection of discount armoires from name brand manufacturers online and at the large furniture showroom in Howell, New Jersey.

What is an Armoire?

You may have heard the term armoire, but if you are like many others, you probably don’t know exactly what it means. The armoire originated back in the Middle Ages as a place to store tools in homes that did not have the closets and built-in cabinets that we enjoy today. Over time, the armoire became a place to store clothing in the bedroom, like the cupboards that stored dishes in the kitchen.

Like wardrobes, armoires became a staple in bedroom to store clothing. Both the wardrobe and the armoire are tall wood cabinets with double doors hiding shelves or a rod for hanging clothing.

What Makes the Armoire Different?

While the armoire serves many of the same purposes as the wardrobe, it is really quite different. The armoire has a stronger presence in the room and more visual impact for many reasons.

First of all, an armoire can be much larger than a wardrobe, at least the height of its owner at six or even seven feet. Unlike the wardrobe, it is likely to have embellishments that make it an attractive piece of furniture. Armoires typically have both hanging rails and shelves, and some have drawers at the bottom.

Finding the Right Armoire Style

Choose an armoire in a style that is different from your existing furniture to make the armoire stand out and become a focal point in the room.

You can find stunning armoires in every style imaginable, from traditional, transitional and rustic to modern and mid-century designs. Farmhouse armoires are perfect if you love the nostalgic look, and people who live near the shore or want to remember a treasured seaside vacation can find armoires with a coastal look. If you enjoy glamor, look for armoires that evoke the golden era of Hollywood glam in the 1930’s.
