Storage, Functionality & Your Home

Household storage is something that can often be overlooked until you become aware of your need for more.  It can take so much more than plastic bins to keep your holiday decorations or excess items safe and organized in the basement.  Home storage can incorporate the very furniture you will come to use every day. The same furniture can also become a defining design factor in your home.  But what could be just as, if not more, important than great style?  How about great functionality for those time consuming spaces in your home: the office, the bedroom, and your living/family room.






The Office



If the only thing in your office is a desk and a closet, you may be missing out on a lot of organizational opportunities.  Adding a bookcase to lean against the wall fills out the room and makes for a great way to display your collection while still keeping it neat.  This is not to mention the convenience a roll-around cabinet such as the File Caddy byAmerican Drew can do for your filing needs.  If you are looking for even more filing space, you may want to check out the Rhapsody Lateral File by Hooker.

The Bedroom



Dressers are the obvious go-to for bedroom storage, but they may not always eliminate your storage needs.  Hutches can make great additions and can sometimes even be implemented right onto an existing dresser.  Nightstands like the Studio 7H Encase Nightstand by Hooker are also something not everyone thinks is necessary but can be a major improvement.  Especially if you find yourself getting out of bed often to retrieve items you could just be keeping in the drawer next to you such as your current novel of interest.

The Living Room



Whether you use your living room to display your hobbies or as a family gathering ground, ample storage space is essential for this area.  If style & display is your thing, you may want something like the Side Chair Curio by Butler.  Its two-shelve setup is perfect for storage while its windowed side panels allow your guests to see whatever collection you choose to store inside.  Then, unless a couch set up with an ottoman in front is your style, a cocktail table such as the Clock Cocktail Table is a great way to ensure you always have a place to set your beverages down.

While this obviously isn’t everything you could fill these spaces with, everything mentioned can bring a great amount of functionality to your home.  See all of these and more by visiting Spector Furniture in Ansonia, CT and seeing how many options there really are in our showrooms.  Whether you are from Shelton, Waterbury, or any part of Fairfield, CT, we are just a short drive away!

Personalize Your Home Office Space




There are quite a few aspects to consider when designing your home office. This is a space that should serve you in a practical way, as well as one that you feel comfortable and productive in. Read our five main tips below if you're looking to designate a new workspace in your home, or renew your current one!

 1. Practicality - Looks aren't the only thing that matter when it comes to your furniture! The functionality of your furniture matters a great deal in an office setting. When choosing shelving, a desk, filing cabinets, chairs and more, consider the amount of storage space you'll need, and how all these pieces will fit together.

Spector Furniture offers an incredible variety of home office furniture for you to choose from. Browse through our huge selection of office cabinetry, desk units, chairs, hutches and more!

2. Placement - Organization and openness are key. Even if you're not working with a ton of space, it's important to keep the area as open as possible, conducive to daily traffic patterns and free of clutter. Place your furniture in such a way that allows you to centralize everything you need around your main work station.

Our sales associates can help you select furniture that is cohesive in an aesthetic sense, and the proper size for the room you've chosen. Measuring the room before shopping around is highly suggested.

3. Color Scheme -The right color scheme can greatly affect your mood and productivity. Make sure that you consider the overall color palette of your space. Remember to tie in the color of your walls, furniture, accent decorations, rugs and more. Neutrals and softer hues will promote clarity and calmness, while bright, bold accents will keep the space from looking drab.

4. Lighting - Lighting is imperative, especially in environments where you will be reading, staring at computer screens or doing work that requires concentration. Proper lighting will reduce the chance for eye strain, and will help lift your mood. We have a wide selection of lamps varying in style and height.

5. Accessories - Pick accessories that will make you feel at home! Throw pillows, stylish rugs, plants and wall decor are all items that will bring personality into your space.
