Scott Living Decor: Modulate Your Lifestyle

Of the many brands of home furniture that we carry, few of them could be as versatile or as personable as Scott Living. Inspired by their forays into real estate, Jonathan and Drew Scott, of the HGTV show, “Property Brothers”, bring affordable and luxurious furniture to families, fans and homeowners everywhere. By partnering with Coaster Fine Furniture, as well as Greentouch and Premier Prints, the fabulous Scott Brother duo has assembled a collection of home furniture sets that are stylishly sharp, modular and uniquely their own.

Decorate Your Living Room with Scott Living

Your living room could be plain and ordinary or it could feature some of the sophistication of Scott Living. The real beauty of this luxury brand may be the fact that everything included in it is modular in nature. Anyone who purchases a 5 piece Scott Living sectional, for example, can easily adjust the size of their sofa to easily accommodate a growing family or upcoming relocation. As far as comfort and compatibility go, their accent pillows and cushions couldn’t be more ideal or picturesque.

A Scott Living Dining Room Breathes New Life

Because the Scott Brothers live and breathe the home life, they understand how essential the dining room can be during family gatherings and other social events. Mixing the industrial and the modern, Jonathan and Drew have created truly inspired pieces, like their dining tables and benches. In a host of fabrics and colors, these pieces make it easy to seat your children and friends for a tranquil dinner meal. Vintage servers pair seamlessly with any Scott Living dining room set.

Bedroom Furniture Designed the Living Scott Way

Having furnished and renovated countless bedrooms across America, the Scott brothers know a thing or two about bedroom decor. A vision of comfort and luxury, any Scott Living collection is a portal to a lighter way of living—as bright and cheerful as the Scott twins themselves. Relax into a king sized bed, with an accompanying headboard and bourbon bench, or spring into action as you dress yourself in front of a visually complementary and modular Scott Living mirror.

3 Important Things to Check Before Buying New Home Furniture

Buying new home furniture can sometimes be an overwhelming process. There are so many things to consider, and if you’re not careful, you could end up purchasing a product that doesn’t deliver the quality that you deserve. Find out more about the top three things you should check before you buy that will help ensure your furniture shopping success.

Furniture Craftsmanship

Quality craftsmanship is crucial with any type of furniture, because you want to make sure that your new home furnishings are able to stand the test of time. To ensure a piece of furniture is well-made, examine it for consistency and uniformity. For example, if you are buying a dresser or accent chest, see how the individual drawers are hung. If any of the drawers seem crooked or tilted, that is an obvious sign of inferior quality. Also, when buying wooden furniture, always make sure that the veneers match and show no signs of cracks or scratches.

Furniture Tailoring

When purchasing a sofa or upholstered seating, always make sure that the seams are even and that the fabric wraps smoothly around the piece. It is also important to closely-inspect patterned or printed sofas. Verify that the patterns match on every side and seamlessly flow from one segment to the other.

Material Quality

Always listen closely when a salesperson is explaining the type of materials a piece of furniture is made from. This is particularly important when purchasing leather furniture, since there are many terms that may sound like leather but actually refer to faux leather. For example, if a salesperson says something is “leather-like,” then you can be certain that the piece is not made from genuine leather. If you are looking to purchase the highest quality leather available, look for pieces made from top grain leather. If you are looking for something that features the look and feel of genuine leather, but at a more affordable price, consider furniture made from DuraBlend, also known as bonded leather.

Home Furnishing Tips to Enhance Small Spaces

No matter what the size of your living space, a stylish home is still well within your reach. Even if you live in a small house or a one bedroom apartment—what matters most is not the size of your space, but how you choose to utilize it. At Kensington Furniture, we provide an extensive collection of furniture options that can cater to a wide array of personal home needs. So, if you are limited on space, here are a few tips that will help you to make the most of what you have.

Most bedrooms include numerous large-scale furniture pieces, which can make a small room feel cramped if it’s not furnished efficiently. One way to save space is to purchase furniture pieces that combine multiple functions in one, such as our space-saving storage beds. Our storage beds are perfect for storing clothing and linens, which will help cut down the amount of additional bedroom storage furniture you need to purchase. Another way to enhance a small bedroom is to play with light to make the room appear larger, which can easily be done with bedroom mirrors. Add a large dresser mirror or a few small wall-mounted mirrors, and you will see that the reflected light bouncing around the room will make the space feel more airy and bright.

When furnishing a small living room, believe it or not, sometimes purchasing one spacious furniture piece is your best option. Placing a lot of little furniture pieces in one tight space can often make a room look cluttered. Consider purchasing a versatile sectional sofa or a chaise lounge sofa, which offers ample seating for all your guests in one streamlined design. Your living room will seem even more open and light if you opt for a sofa with raised legs, which takes up less visual space than a sofa with a large and boxy design.

When furnishing a smaller dining room, it’s always best to keep it simple, and keep in mind that dining tables don’t always need to be formal and grand. Circular dining room tables are particularly useful in tight spaces, because they can easily fit into corners. To further brighten the space, choose dining room furniture in pale colors and light wood finishes which will reflect more light throughout the room. A glass top dining table is another good option because the transparent surface will take up zero visual space.

While these tips offer a great starting point, we encourage you to visit our Northfield, NJ furniture store to see what other great home furnishing options we have available to enhance your home décor. At Kensington Furniture, stylish home furnishings for every size space are waiting for you!
