How to Create the Perfect Dining Room Set

The meeting point in your home for both your family members and your guests is the dining room. It’s where you gather to eat and to entertain. It’s important to create an atmosphere in your dining room that is casual, yet intimate. Spector Furniture offers all the dining room furniture you need to build a great meeting place for your family and guests. In order to create the best possible dining room in your home, be sure to keep the following factors in mind.

The first thing you should do to create a beautiful space is to choose the best color for the room. Since the dining room is intended to be a gathering place full of conversation and interaction, warm colors like red, orange, yellow, tan and light green are encouraged. These tones are said to be more engaging for guests. The idea is that these warm colors are intimate and comfortable, the perfect setting for your dining room.

When selecting furniture for your dining room, make sure to consider both the color of the rest of the room and the size of the room. You’ll want furniture that can fill the space, but not too overwhelming. You’ll want plenty of room to move around and to pull chairs out without hitting anything. Measure the space so you know you have plenty of room to move about.

The furniture you select should also match the color of the rest of the room. Warm-colored walls should complement a warm-colored dining room table. Red or tan wood and oak tables and chairs are popular choices. The table should also match the shape of your dining room. In smaller rooms, a round or square table will work best. At the other end of the spectrum, bigger rooms call for a longer, rectangular table to fill the space. One way to compromise would be to purchase a smaller table that includes extension leaves. This way, you can maximize the open space in your dining room throughout the year, but fill the space with adequate table space and seating when guests are over. 

Choose chairs that match the color of your dining room table. Wood, oak and leather chairs often work best. Bar stools also work if you have a taller table or a countertop in your dining room that faces the kitchen. The idea is to keep your guests at eye level when they are having a conversation.

Once you have the table and chairs set in place, you can fill out your dining room with a number of accessories. These include benches, cabinets, chests, servers and hutches. Make sure these accessories match the color and style of your table, chairs and walls. You can continue to decorate with matching tablecloths and centerpieces like flowers, candles, sculptures and glassware. You can also find a chandelier to hang over the table that matches the aesthetics of the room. 

All the dining room furniture you need can be located at Spector Furniture. Our fully stocked furniture store serves customers in Stratford, Milford, Shelton, Waterbury, Fairfield and Orange, CT. We have everything you need for your living room, bedroom, dining room or office. Ask our staff members to help you find the furniture and accessories that best fit your home.

How to Clean Sofa Pillows without a Professional Cleaner

If you’re like me, it won’t be long before you spill something on your sofa pillows while watching TV. When it inevitably happens, there’s no need to panic. That ugly stain can come right off your pillows without having to call professional cleaners or throwing away your expensive cushions.

Tips for removing dirt, dust, mold and stains from sofa pillows:

1.)    Remove the pillow case if there is one and spray it with a cleaning solution. You may also use a sponge and detergent. This will attack the stain. The case can then be washed in your machine under delicate or gentle settings with cold water temperature. To dry the case, hang it on a clothesline or put it in the dryer on gentle if it is safe for machine-dry use. Make sure the case doesn’t shrink, which will make it impossible to put back on over the pillow. 

2.)    If there is no cover to remove, or the pillow itself is stained, begin by using a cleaning spray or sponge with detergent. 

3.)    Wash the pillows by placing them in a tub or sink filled with warm water and more detergent. 

4.)    Once the pillow is soaked, drain it out then put it in clean water for about 10 minutes. 

5.)    After 10 minutes, drain the pillow again then let it dry outside, ideally in the sun. 

All that’s really needed to clean a sofa pillow is a spray cleaner, sponge, detergent and a tub or sink. A washing machine or dryer will work if you are just cleaning the pillowcase. Remember to never use bleach on your pillows as the bleach will damage the fabrics. It’s ideal to clean just the pillowcase if possible because the stuffing inside the pillow will clump together if it is washed, making it tough to keep the pillow in its original shape. 

If you follow these tips and still can’t get your pillow clean, feel free to visit Spector Furniture in Ansonia, CT to ask us for help or to look at our selection of pillows and other accents for your sofa. Customers from Fairfield, Stratford, Milford, Orange, Waterbury and Shelton flock to our furniture store for our family-owned service and huge selection of living room furniture, bedroom furniture, bedding, dining room sets and office furniture.
