In Praise of Performance Fabric for Your Upholstery and More

You might be thinking, “Why do I need performance fabric?” With today’s synthetic fibers being relatively easy to care for, even removable for a good cleaning, that’s understandable. However, high-performance fabric for upholstery and other home furniture uses has revolutionized the industry. If your household is high-energy with kids and dogs doing a number on YOUR furnishings, this scientific fabric solution is the best answer. Of course we at Ivan Smith Furniture carry many items boasting this wonder material adding years of longevity and a perennially new appearance to your favorite pieces and sets. Names to look for when shopping for performance fabric include Nuvella and Sunbrella.

Get Performance Fabric for Your Living Room Sofas

For your living room sofas and chairs, high-performance fabric simply can’t be beat to make your front room a true family room where children and pets are totally welcome. Never worry about spilled food or drinks again, because “these colors don’t run”! The performance fabric used to clothe select Ivan Smith living room furniture is entirely solution-dyed. That means when the artificial fibers are still in the liquid, molten plastic state, the color is directly added. By using the dye this way, it permeates the fiber completely. Because this vivid color is infused into each fiber, stains can’t penetrate and damage it! The answer for almost all mishaps is just wipe it off with soap and water, or for tougher stains (such as red wine on a white sofa), a diluted bleach solution. This weak bleach won’t hurt your color either.

Beat the Sun with Performance Fabric for Your Outdoor Umbrella

The colorfastness of performance fabrics means it won’t fade in the sun, meaning these fabrics are also ideal for your outdoor furniture and accessories from awnings to patio sets to huge cantilever umbrellas. One leading manufacturer tests its performance-fabric items for 1,000 hours, far beyond the industry standard! Sun damage is usually because it fades the fiber’s top layer, revealing its base color. Because these recyclable fibers are saturated, they simply cannot fade. Outdoor furniture is at our Tyler, TX furniture store and we can order it from any of our locations.

Whatever your performance fabric requirements, you’ll always find the answer at Ivan Smith Furniture's Ark-La-Tex locations.

When You Want to Go Retro: Furniture Ideas

While of course Ivan Smith Furniture carries the most and best in transitional and contemporary furniture, some of you might yearn for a romantic past, a certain era. Love BBC historical dramas? Maybe Victorian furniture and decor would be your thing especially if you live in a house from that time. On the other hand, if your trim little ranch house went up during the Eisenhower era, why fight it? Midcentury modern’s HOT especially since popular TV shows such as “Mad Men” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” brought it back to the public’s attention. But why pay a bundle for antiques, often in fragile well-worn condition? Our selection of reproduction retro furniture affordably brings the glamour of America’s past back to life for you and with modern materials that are family-friendly.

Retro Victorian Living Room Furniture: When Opulence Reigned Supreme

If you feel that you missed out on intricate Victorian furniture design such as exquisite woods carved into details such as medallions and plumes, and rich, soft top-grain leather, don’t fret. You can get it all and more thanks to reproduction retro furniture, such as a leather-upholstered chaise longue like a fainting couch in Sherlock Holmes’s study. When retro designs are so reasonably priced, you don’t need to be to the manor born to make your design fantasy come true.

Space-Age Bachelor Pad Cool: Retro Home Bars Serve Style!

On the other hand, you may thrill to retro-futurism, as in 1950s sci-fi flicks or “The Jetsons”: how did 1959 imagine 2019? We’ve got retro furniture for that too! An excellence place to show off this design flair in your choice of home bar furniture, such as ultra-futuristic bar stools with sleek vinyl cushions and gleaming with chrome.

Stop by our Shreveport, LA store or any of our Ark-La-Tex locations to see how you can incorporate beautiful, durable repro retro furniture into your lifestyle.

Sharing Designers’ Secrets: How to Maximize a Tiny Living Room

Whether your budget’s extra-tight due to frequent moves to wherever the work is, or you’re just starting out, you might be frustrated with your abode’s small square footage seemingly thwarting your design ideal for your living room. Well, we at Ivan Smith Furniture are here to say when there is a will, there is a way! Don’t fret. Our many years of outfitting homes just like yours along with the acumen of the many designers we’ve known have enabled us to offer you the following bits of free advice on how best to pick and place living room furniture for smaller rooms.

Embrace the Smallness: Intimate Space Is Good

Don’t think “cramped”; accentuate the positive by redefining this fact as coziness. No, we’re not in denial. An upbeat attitude in this planning process via clever design tricks will be conveyed to your guests. You might be tempted to make your space seem bigger. Don’t be, advise the top interior designers. Rather, accept your room’s character as is. One way to do that when choosing your living room’s seating is to keep all of it — sofa or loveseat, recliner, etc. — gathered together around the coffee table like you’re on the set of a TV chat show. Emphasize the unity of your living room furniture vision by placing a boldly patterned accent rug under it. Voilà: instant rapport among your guests.

Wow with Bright Light and the Right Hues

No, we don’t mean shining a light in your guests’ eyes so they don’t see your dinky room. We’re being imaginative here. Bright lighting strategically placed will make your cozy living room even more inviting. So go for it with beautiful accent lighting and mirrors to reflect that light. Also, consider painting your walls white or some other light color. A designer tip: show off your favorite paintings or photos in matching light-colored frames for an uncluttered but impressive art-gallery vibe. If your space is blessed with sunlight, choose bright or white window treatments such as curtains.

Go for the Cool Ottomans!

Maybe you can’t even squeeze a traditional coffee table onto your living room floor. Time to improvise! Two or more cool living room ottomans, ideally the storage kind that open on top, will ably do the table’s job, plus they double as seating if you need that.

To get a better idea which living room furniture and home accents might work best in your small space, stop by our Nacogdoches, TX store or any of our other locations for top brands all for a bargain.

For Peace at Home, Rearrange Your Furniture the Feng Shui Way

Feng Shui’s roots run way back to ancient China, where it was practiced to harness a room’s energy. Basically, it’s a glorified practice of decorating that places an emphasis on practicality and spaciousness. But if we take out the spiritual elements of Feng Shui and strip it down to its bare bones, we are left with some great ideas for furniture arrangement! 

Assess Your Living Space

Using Feng Shui to artfully arrange your home furniture can yield some great results, because you’ll end up creating a space that works practically and has a comforting feel. Think about how jarring it can be to walk into a place that has stuff everywhere – boxes on the floor, trash scattered about, silverware on tables, cups on TV stands, window sills with change on them, an unnecessary television – you get the idea. It can make you a bit anxious, right? Now, think about how nice it is to walk into a place that is open, neat, organized. It’s peaceful, isn’t it? 

Basic Feng Shui Rules

When shopping for your new living room sofa, TV, table or any other piece for your home, consider the following so you can maximize your space and get the most out of your furniture!

Get rid of the clutter! That goes for trash, clothes and anything that doesn’t belong in a living room. If you simply don’t have the space to put out-of-place things elsewhere, fret not. Just make sure they are neatly placed somewhere out of the way.

Optimize the amount of natural sunlight getting into your living room. So if you have stuff on your window sill, move it! And, at every opportunity, open those shades and blinds to wash your space in beautiful sunlight. 

Keep your furniture out of pathways – basically, don’t make it difficult to move around. You don’t want an obstacle course in the room where you relax. Think about the room’s entry and exit points when considering this.

Put your sofa and chairs against walls. These are your main pieces because you use them to rest. Having them “anchored” against a solid object will ensure you’ve got the most space possible to walk around. Also, if you can, make sure the people sitting have a line of sight toward the room’s main entry point. Why? Because it’s inviting to walk into a room and be greeted by the people who are already there. Plus, no one can sneak up on you!

Have a focal point, whether it’s a TV, portrait of your family or simply a candle on the coffee table. Build your room around it. Also, group objects that are related to one another. For example, don’t have a sofa on one wall and two chairs on the other; don’t put an end table next to the television, etc. 

We hope you found this useful. The next time you’re thinking about adding to or enhancing the Feng Shui of your living room, stop by our Carthage, TX store or any of our other locations. We have great deals on accessories, couches and everything else you need to create a comfortable living space on a budget!

Re-Arrange Your Living Room Furniture to Nurture Yourself

When you think about your living room, what activities does it conjure up? If you’re like the bulk of us these days, your thoughts probably go straight to the watching of TV, and the glancing at your laptop or smartphone. But it’s refreshing to detach from the technological and focus on the world around us sometimes—including our friends and families, as well as our living spaces.

All of these things can directly affect our moods and our state of minds every day. It doesn’t take a psychologist or fortune teller in Alexandria, Louisiana to tell you that one, either. But when you confer with us, we’ll conjure up exotic visions of your living room: ones in which you see yourself reclining on a dreamy sleeper sofa, gripping your favorite paperback or hardcover.

Reimagine Your Living Space: Visualizing a Two Piece Sectional

Pause to appreciate the space in which you find yourself. The relationships between people and their homes are usually reflected in the places where they linger the most when they enter them, as well as those they avoid. Perhaps you don’t read or study as much as you’d like because you don’t yet a place to which you can truly retreat, far away from your bedroom, and concentrate.

Cozy Chaises for Resting, Reflecting and Recalibrating Yourself

Who hasn’t dreamt of letting it all hang at your sides, as you press your back against mahogany: the epitome of cozy and chaise. Therapists employ stitched seating for a reason—it allows you to decompress from all the stresses of the day. Once you turn off the buzzing and reflect in total comfort, you enter a higher state altogether—one that runs and exudes another energy entirely.
Don’t delay your own metamorphosis. Get down to the nearest Ivan Smith and get excited by all the colors, styles and orientations of our living room and home furniture, all over again!

How to Choose the Right Recliner for You

Just like there are many comfortable sneakers to choose from, not every reclining chair is right for every person. When you are shopping for a relaxing living room recliner to sink into after a hectic day, you must consider three factors: size, longevity, features, and style.

The Twofold Factor of Size

Size refers both to the chair seating you comfortably and the space you are working with. In a smaller living room, a compact glider and small ottoman are an option, if they fit your frame! Of the utmost importance when choosing the correct recliner is conformity with your body shape, offering enough support. Ask yourself: Can you easily adjust the recliner to relieve pressure on your knees? Are you equally comfortable sitting with the recliner folded up and extended? Will more than one person be using it?

How Long Do You Plan on Keeping Your Recliner?

Assuming you will use your recliner at least once a day, a reasonable life expectation for a recliner is about 10 years. Of course, if you pick a sturdier model and are careful handling it, you can stretch that for the most enjoyment and savings, so you won’t need to spend money again in only a few years.

What Recliner Features Do You Need?

If your body has particular needs, be sure to make a checklist before choosing a living room recliner. For example, you will likely be much happier in the long run with a recliner offering lots of lumbar support for your back. If a sore neck is a recurring problem, look into a recliner with an articulating headrest. For the ultimate recliner experience, check out chairs with built-in massage settings, so relaxing you will likely drift off to sleep!

Which Style Can You Best Live With?

Do you like your current décor so much that you expect your new recliner to match it forever? Fortunately for you, recliners now come in a variety of styles from traditional luxury to clean contemporary lines.

For an awesome selection of sizes, styles, and features in living room recliners at record low prices every day, count on Ivan Smith Furniture. Visit our Lufkin, TX showroom or any of our other locations in Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana soon!
