Save big this Fourth of July

Sale

While it is still a few days away from the actual holiday, we are celebrating early here at Baumgartner’s Furniture. To celebrate this incredible country, we are holding sales on some of our most popular items in order to ensure everyone has a chance to have a place they can be comfortable in and call home. Here are three reasons you should stop by a Baumgartner’s location from now until July 11 and celebrate Independence Day with us.

  1. Comfort

Everyone deserves to be comfortable in their home. The most used and most comfortable furniture that are in a home will be on sale this Independence Day – mattresses, recliners, and sofas.  These pieces of furniture are where people spend the majority of their time when they are in their own home. We have mentioned before how you will spend one third of your life on your mattress, but when you are not sleeping, you are watching television, reading, playing video games, etc, which are commonly spent on sofas or recliners. This is why it might be time to consider an upgrade in comfort and subsequently, an upgrade in your life.

This Fourth of July, save big on a sofa like the one pictured above.

  1. Price

Mattresses, sofas, and recliners are often considered pricier items when it comes to home furniture. In addition, while it is true that purchasing these items can often lead to a dent in your wallet, it does not have to be that way. With recliners starting at $249 and sofas at $799, this sale is a great way to purchase that piece of furniture you have had your eye on for a while and put off because of the price. Not only that, but chances are the mattress you lie on every night is long overdue for a replacement. Buying a new mattress during this sale is an easy way to cross off something on the to-do list and save money while doing it.

  1. Health benefits

Furniture loses its shape after a while. Cushions and springs become worn down and deflated. The difference is difficult to notice day after day of sitting on the same furniture but after time, your body can suffer from a decrease in comfort and support. Having firmer furniture is good for your posture and in turn, your spine and overall health. If you have had a consistent achy back or posture problems, it may be time to examine your furniture as a possible culprit. This sale will help you look for new furniture that will help you feel better and be more comfortable with the price at the same time.

It could be time to replace that mattress — get it at Baumgartner’s.

We hope you stop by and join us in celebrating America’s freedom this Independence Day. Our knowledgeable Baumgartner’s Associates will help you pick a piece of furniture that meets your needs – whether it’s something to be more comfortable, keep you healthier or save money, we have the piece of furniture and brand for you. Happy Fourth of July from Baumgartner’s Furniture!

Accent your home, accent your life

Accent

Little things make a big difference. This cliché is true for almost all aspects of life – relationships, friendships, impressing your boss at work. The same goes for your home, which is why accents are essential to home décor. Not only are accents inexpensive, they take any design from boring to fabulous in a matter of minutes.

  1. Pillows

Pillows are no longer relegated to beds. These cozy, colorful balls of fluff can add something of worth to other areas of the home, such as the living room. Throw pillows receive a lot of flack for being useless, generally perpetuated by stereotypical couple fights on the television. “What even is the point of these,” one of them will yell, throwing the pillow across the other room. The other will shake another pillow in their hand, “it’s important! It ties the décor together!” The second person is right. Accent pillows add a dash of color to otherwise boring areas like couches or recliners. They make a room look polished and put together and are a simple, inexpensive way to step up décor quickly.

  1. Lamps

Accent

Lamps are not only good for the functional purpose of lighting, but modern innovation means you can find a lamp to fit with any theme. You need a driftwood lamp to fit with your earthy, hunter cabin? Perfect. You want a modern, sleek, stainless steel lamp to sit on top of your glass table? No problem. It’s the furniture version of “there’s an app for that.” Lamps, too, can seem useless if a ceiling fan seems to be providing the most lighting. However, lamps provide a softer light which is less hard on human eyes for activities like reading or hanging out when it’s dark outside. An accent lamp is not only functional, it’s helpful and good for your body.

  1. Rugs

Like the other items in this list, rugs are an easy way to tie a room’s décor together. Instead of a boring plain room, now you’ve got a blue rug and blue pillows to match (just as an example, you can get whatever color or pattern you like). They can also help a room feel cozier, especially if you have hardwood floors. Another benefit of rugs on hardwood floors means tables can go on top of the rug without fear of irreparably damaging the floor by scratching it. Rugs are also fairly inexpensive and come in a wide array of patterns to satisfy any theme necessary.

Once you try any of these accents in your home, you will see how big a difference they truly make. Stop by any Baumgartner’s location today to have an experienced and friendly associate help you decide what accents will look best in your home.

The gifts your father deserves

Father

It’s that time of year again – toolboxes, ties, and endless “best dad” mugs. It is Father’s Day, the day of the year where fathers and father figures everywhere are rewarded for all the hard work they put in their everyday life. From ball games to breakfast to birthday bashes, fathers play an integral part of their children’s lives – which is why it’s time to put away the assorted tie collection (now with polka dots!) and aim a little higher for Father’s Day.
If you’re currently scrambling for a present idea, look no further. Baumgartner’s Furniture will be having great deals on mattresses and recliners until June 22. Here are the reasons you should consider getting your father a mattress or a recliner this Father’s Day.
Mattress:

We’ve written about mattresses before, but it bears repeating – you spend one third of your life on a mattress. Not only is comfort a vital consideration for when you’re sleeping, how comfortable you are during the night can affect how comfortable you are for the rest of the day. This means your mattress affects you 24/7. Your father deserves to be the most comfortable whenever possible. As he gets older, he’ll need a firmer mattress in order to support his back and make it easier to get out of bed in the morning. And chances are, he’s forgotten completely about his mattress and it probably needs replacing. Getting a new mattress is practical, necessary and shows how much you care about your father’s overall comfort. If you identify your needs and budget, a Baumgartner’s Associate can help you find the perfect mattress for your dad.

Recliner:

Another topic we’ve covered in Baumgartner’s blogs. But when most people think of a stereotypical father figure, they see their dad resting easy in a big recliner while watching his favorite sports team. Recliners are durable and will last a long time before needing to be replaced, making them an integral part of the family furniture. Plus, they can become someone’s favorite place to sit as in “don’t sit there, that’s my spot.” Recliners are plush, durable and comfortable. Buying your father a recliner shows you care about not only his comfortable, but making sure his sitting spot is his favorite.
Father’s Day is June 21 and Baumgartner’s is here to help bring your family together. Instead of another toolbox he won’t open or ties he won’t wear, invest in his everyday life and comfort. Instead of giving a gift that he could wear or use maybe once or twice per year, give him something he’ll use all the time. If you stop by either Baumgartner’s location, we can assist you in finding the perfect gift for your father and making sure it is the best deal possible. Happy Father’s Day!

The bed is the place to be

Bed

In previous Baumgartner’s blogs, we’ve mentioned how important a mattress is – on average, a person will spend about a third of their life sleeping. However, this makes the bed itself just as important. A bed is the focal point of every bedroom. When people are daydreaming during work, it’s often of their bed. Here are four things to consider when purchasing a new bed.

1. Size
Just like home sizes, bed sizes also vary quite a bit. This allows shoppers to pick the size of bed that fits their needs best. For instance, apartments tend to be smaller than duplexes or houses. Buying a smaller bed for smaller spaces not only allows those spaces to feel bigger, but can make the bed itself easier to transport when it comes time to move. However, if someone is in a home they can see themselves staying in for a while, buying a bed that they can also see themselves having for a long time can be a smart move.
2. Time
This section goes back to transient living that we’ve touched on before. A smaller bed is easier to build and easier to move, but is much nicer to live on than a futon. Not only that, but why spend the money on an expensive, giant canopy bed when a move could be in the near future? However, that canopy would be great if it were to stay in one place for long amounts of time. It’s important to consider how long to live in a space and what kind of bed matches that environment.

Bed

3. Style
As with any other piece of furniture, it makes sense to consider the theme and décor of the room. Many homeowners build the theme around the bed, which is a central feature of any bedroom. Picking a wood like dark or light, and type like canopy or sleigh, can be important to deciding what the rest of the room or even house will look like.

4. Cost
It’s important to stay within a set budget. A bed is an incredibly important piece of furniture and should have a bit more money spent on it than say, a dresser. However, keep in mind the above points and decide a limit based on your specific situation. After you’ve done that, a Baumgartner’s Furniture associate can help you choose the most comfortable, stylish piece based on your price limit.
Here at Baumgartner’s, we’re dedicated to making sure you are the most comfortable in your home at all times. This can include literal comfort and financial comfort. Visit our website or our Auxvasse location and we can help you receive the best night of sleep possible.

Dining with the whole family

Dining

In today’s busy and bustling world, it can be difficult to find time for the whole family to sit down together. While that place used to be the dinner table, more and more families are now settling down in front of the television and staring at their favorite program instead of gathering around the table with their favorite people. This minimizes conversation, like about how days at school or work went, or the latest hilarious joke. Here are three steps to reclaim your dining area for family time.

1. Have a dining space

If you do not have a specific dining room, it can be easy to forget about when it comes to planning where furniture will go. Take the time to designate an area as a “dining” space. If you do have a dining room, try to keep the purpose of the room singular. If everyone knows where the dining room is and what it is used for, it can cut down on settling in front of the television. If you discuss the type of dining area you are looking for and the space you are working with, a Baumgartner’s sales associate can help you find the appropriate sets to complete your vision.

2. Make it comfortable

There is a reason couches are the hotspot for many families – they’re comfortable. In turn, the dining area should be comfortable so the whole family wants to spend time there. Many dining sets are designed not only to be comfortable for long meals, but nights of board games and laughter. Baumgartner’s Furniture has a wide array of dining sets, tables, and chairs to suit your needs.

3. Use it

Now that you have designated a space and made it comfortable, be sure to make good use of it. If everyone is still venturing to the living room, it will be a wasted space. Make a meal and gather the family around for quality conversation, food, and bonding. Not only will a beautiful dining room make your house feel cohesive, it will make your family feel cohesive and will encourage conversation among all the members.

Being a family business, Baumgartner’s Furniture cares about family. We want to make sure yours is as close as possible and we are always willing to help. With these steps, you can be well on your way to having your family gather around the dinner table once more. Stop by our Baumgartner’s location in Auxvasse today to get started.
