Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving can be difficult to host, especially if it’s your first time. The dishes need to be cooked to perfection, despite there being about a billion things to make and watch the day of. The one thing you shouldn’t have to worry about is the physical comfort of your guests. With these three items from Baumgartner’s Furniture, ensure your Thanksgiving is an absolute success (whether the green bean casserole is burned or not).

1. Table

Your regular table that sits you and your family might not be enough when it comes to extended family members plus significant others coming over for turkey day. Many tables come with inserts to make dining tables longer, ensuring enough room for the holiday crowd. Baumgartner’s offers a wide variety of tables to ensure you find the perfect length for an expanding family. Browse Baumgartner’s selection of tables here.

2. Media console

Despite your best efforts, your mother might not be impressed by the television resting on a stack of books. However, if she walks into your house and sees a full media console with space for television and storage for movies, games, etc., her jaw will drop to the floor. Not only that, but the whole family will gather around to start watching Christmas movies (after the dinner, of course) in the beautiful display. Browse Baumgartner’s selection of media consoles here.

3. Sofa

There comes a time after the Thanksgiving meal when your guests are hit with a food coma. After consuming that large amount of food and the energy it took to produce it, they’ll want to take a nap (after a slice of pie). Ensure your guests are up and ready to watch movies or play games later on in the day by getting a comfortable sofa guests can snooze on. Browse Baumgartner’s selection of sofas here.

Again, hosting Thanksgiving can be stressful. Once your guests leave, you will experience the comfort and knowledge of knowing you saved big money by going to Baumgartner’s Furniture. In addition, you’ll have all these great items to use yourself (take your own food coma nap!) Baumgartner’s Furniture wishes you a happy and safe Thanksgiving, from our family to yours.

Table sets

Last week, Baumgartner’s blog was about the essentials for a living room for first-time furniture buyers. However, after you’ve bought those items, it can be difficult to decide what to purchase next. If you’re looking for the next step to amp up the design of your living room, here are three reasons to consider purchasing a table set.

1. Functional

Table sets are incredibly handy for displaying trinkets, or placing by the couch in order to create additional room for things like cups or books. With these small table sets, they can be placed around the room to create space for guests and residents to place items close by. This allows guests and family to gather around and not have to get up every five seconds to take a drink or look at their phone.

This makes a residence more like home without taking up too much space.

3. Cost

Table sets allows you to purchase three extra items for your living room without having to shell out the money for three more couches or bookshelves, or whatever else expensive item. This allows you to decorate your living room at a low cost.

When you first are searching for items to decorate your home, it can be stressful to find every item you need. Sure, going into the store you seem confident in what you need, but the overwhelming amount of beautiful items leads you feeling lost. Have no fear, however, as Baumgartner’s Furniture is here to help. Here are four absolutely essential items to put in a living room before you consider other purchases.

1. Couch

Couches quite literally bring families and friends closer together. Couches are essential, even if you live by yourself, as hopefully you’ll entertain some friends every once in a while and those friends will need a place to sit. Couches are great for every day seating in your living room and depending on your budget, can be relatively inexpensive. Check out Baumgartner’s selection of couches here.

2. Media Console

Even if you don’t have a television, media consoles are helpful to provide a point of reference for which to orientate all the furniture. However, most families have televisions. Media consoles are a great way to display your television and store any movies, games, or consoles you might need. It also frees up storage space, especially if you have a small living room. Check out Baumgartner’s selection of media consoles here.

3. Recliner

While couches will provide most of the seating for your living room, an extra recliner is very helpful. Recliners are great for just you to sit in, or for friends who don’t necessarily like being as close to other people on the couch. This creates a comfortable environment for the friends that will make them want to return. Plus, recliners are great places for just you to relax with a bowl of popcorn and watch a movie. Check out Baumgartner’s selection of recliners here.

4. Table

The last essential item you need for your living room is some kind of table. This can be a regular coffee table or an ottoman, as long as you have a place to put any books, cups or whatever you bring to sit on the couch or recliner. Additionally, ottomans can provide extra storage, which is helpful for smaller spaces. Friends will appreciate a place where they can put their cups and relax. Check out Baumgartner’s selection of tables here and ottomans here.

Furniture shopping can be overwhelming, but this list can help you bring it back to the basics. Focus on acquiring these items within your budget and then any cool pieces of furniture you find you can determine if you really need and want. This will help you stick to a budget while still acquiring all the necessary furniture for your living room.
