Office

With the onset of new technology, more and more people are able to work from home. However, without an effective space, this work could be distracted and inefficient. Creating a space for the best concentration can be incredibly beneficial — both for you, and for your work. Here are three essential items and factors to consider when purchasing in order to ensure the best possible home office.

1. A desk

This is quite possibly the most basic item necessary for creating a great home office. After all, you need a space for your computer, phone, speakers, files, etc. The styles vary to suit your needs – from a simple desk, to those with many drawers for optimal organization. Desks increase efficiency by creating a specific place to focus, buckle down, and finish projects. Not only are desks effective, but also come in a range of styles in order to fit the décor of any office. Our Baumgartner’s associates can help you find the perfect desk to fit your work needs.

2. A chair

A chair is another necessity for an office that often is overlooked. In an office type setting, however, this can be the one piece of furniture you absolutely use the most. Like mattresses, chairs need to be purchased based on personal body needs. If you need more back support, buy a chair with a harder back. However, if you are going to be sitting for a long time, buy something plushier. If you are not comfortable, you are not able to focus as well, which leads to a decline in work quality. Purchasing a good chair for your body can help you concentrate for longer amounts of time.

3. A Bookshelf

Everything is online nowadays. However, having a bookshelf nearby with references, personal, and guides on it can be a beneficial resource to have at your fingertips. You could keep all your work files, guidelines and how-to manuals nearby should the need arise. A bookshelf is another organizational tool that can improve focus, like desk drawers. Not only that, but a bookshelf is an easy way to fill a room and make the space feel more like home. To improve office décor, place picture frames or vases on the shelves, which adds a personal touch.

If you work at home, creating a space that’s both comfortable and efficient can be a struggle. With these three items, you can create a perfect work environment that will help you create the best work possible. Find all these items at Baumgartner’s Furniture in Auxvasse and Columbia today.

If you’re a student or just not in the state of mind to be buying a home, your current living situation can feel very transient. If you’re not living there permanently, it can be difficult to get the motivation to make it feel like a home. However, it can be very rewarding to make any living space something you’re glad to come home to. Here are four items you can purchase to make a temporary living space feel like a home, which can all be found at Baumgartner’s.

1. Rugs

It might seem very simple, but many people overlook the power of decorative rugs when it comes to making a room look put together. A rug can pull the look of an entire room together and complete a theme. If there’s a hardwood or tile floor, a rug can add a bit of warmth to the room, whereas on a carpeted floor it can add a bit of spice to a single-color floor. Additionally, rugs are a cheaper way to drastically change the look of a room.

2. Ottomans

Ottomans are an easy addition to make a room seem much more welcoming. They can be especially beneficial when a recliner is unaffordable. Not only that, but ottomans can be paired with any chair to rest your legs. Apartments and duplexes and the like are also limited on storage and many ottomans have tops that open up to spaces where things like blankets or games can be stored.

3. Nightstands

If you don’t have a nightstand and are not feeling getting out of the bed at the moment, a lot of items can end up on the floor, which clutters up a room and makes a mess. With a nightstand, there’s a place to put these items and easily store necessary items next to your bed. A nightstand can take a room to the next level as far as what a home looks like.

4. Mirrors

Decorative mirrors are much like rugs in that they are an inexpensive way to take a room to the next level as far as decor. Mirrors are much like picture frames because they can make a wall much less bare and are a classier decoration than posters of your favorite band.

Each of these items can take a house from temporary living space to where it feels like a proper home. If you’re living in an apartment, duplex, or any other living space these few items are inexpensive but can make a home look like a million bucks.

Furniture

Looking for a piece of furniture to fit the theme of your home doesn’t necessarily mean you need to drive the long two hours to Kansas City or St. Louis. As those who live near Auxvasse would say, it’s “about 25 minutes away from anywhere in Mid-Missouri.” This means our Auxvasse location offers big city selection in a small-town atmosphere. Baumgartner’s in Auxvasse is truly Mid-Missouri’s complete home furnishings store.  From living room furniture, bedroom sets, dining room furniture, and even all types of flooring, we have you covered.

Baumgartner’s and Auxvasse have a long history together, with the store having been there for over six decades.

Our sales associates are determined to make your experience a good one because we care about our customers and the impression we leave. We care about our customers and want them to return. 

Not only does the Auxvasse location have the state of the art mattress gallery and the La-z-boy Comfort Studio that the Columbia location has, it also features high quality furniture and flooring for each and every room. Plus, the store is a short drive from cities like Columbia, Jefferson City, and Moberly making a wide selection very close in reach. Quality brands like La-z-boy, Flexsteel, Clayton Marcus, Sealy, Simmons, Tempurpedic, Broyhill, Lane, Riverside and many more have trusted Baumgartner’s to carry their furniture for years.

Mother

Mothers have birthed us, fed us, raised us, taken care of all our injuries, supported us through everything we do, etc., etc. — for all they do, it seems crazy that only one day of the year is designated to honoring our mothers. However, this Mother’s Day — with the help of Baumgartner’s Furniture — you can pick the perfect gift that your mother can use every day. Here are three gift ideas to make sure this Mother’s Day is one your mom will cherish forever.

1. Dining room set

To really go above and beyond this Mother’s Day, a dining room set is the way to go. Chances are, your mother has prepared many meals for your family and there’s no better way to show appreciation for that act then to offer a place where the entire family can gather once again. This gift is also incredibly useful. Not a day goes by that one doesn’t need a meal. Therefore, this gift will get plenty of use and allow your mother to be reminded every day how much you care.

2. New mattress

This gift is a little more centrally focused on your mother. For a woman who does so much, sleep is vital. After all, this is a woman who probably got only a few hours of sleep a night during when her children were small. The best way to repay this is by making sure she gets the most comfortable hours of sleep during the night now. And chances are, it’s probably time she replaces hers, as we’ve written in Baumgartner’s blogs before. A new mattress is a practical gift that will get plenty of use.

3. A recliner

Few gifts can top the gift of ultimate comfort — a recliner. It could be your typical grandpa recliner or something more sleek, like a high-leg recliner. Your mother will love a stylish chair that fits the theme of home decor, but is also something she can plop her legs up on. For the mothers who are also grandmothers, it can be a great place to cuddle and read a children’s book.

This Mother’s Day, give your mother something so much more than a gift that will wilt in a few hours. Gifts from Baumgartner’s could last a lifetime and are sure to please with their comfort and style. Your mother will feel the love every time she uses or looks at her perfect piece of furniture from Baumgartner’s. Getting one of these gifts is a much more unique option than the typical flowers and chocolates. Happy Mother’s Day from Baumgartner’s Furniture!
