Choosing a Bed Comforter Set

Your bed is the jewel of your room. So, why not make it the focal point of your decorating endeavors? Most Americans spend one-third of their time in their bedrooms, and it should be exactly the room you make to fit your lifestyle. You can easily achieve any design element with the right bed comforter set. There are many bed comforter sets to choose from. So, how do you know which one is right for you? One thing to think about when making your selection is what mood you want to set in your room. Many times the desired mood for a room is overlooked, if even considered at all.

An individual's personality has a huge impact on what mood should be set in a room. Many bed comforter sets would work in any room, but you need to make sure that it matches the personality of the individual that the room is being designed for. If you would like to set a fun and energetic mood for someone who is up-beat, you should consider using bright colors, such as yellow's and orange's. You can also use many different textures in the same bed comforter set, to add a dramatic feeling to your room.

In the case of an individual who is looking for a more relaxed feeling in their room, you should use softer fabrics, such as cotton. Using calming colors like blue's and green's can help achieve an aura of tranquility to your domain, by adding a homey and inviting feeling. Mood and personality can be achieved through the use of textures, colors, and styles. Once you have decided what mood you want to set with your new bed comforter set, it is time to think about style and color.

Most styles reflect either a casual or formal feeling. Style can add a lot of drama to a room, and help set the tone for the mood. When choosing a style for your room, you should consider what kind of atmosphere you are trying to set. You must decide if you want a casual feel for a more relaxed setting, or a formal feel, for a more elegant setting. When designing a room for a more formal feel, you should use a bed comforter set that has sophistication and elegance. Use neutral colors and soft yellow's to create this formal design element. By adding small amounts of black, you can include a dramatic effect and create contrast to any room.

No matter what design style, colors, textures, and mood you choose for your room, you will want to make sure that you are purchasing a high quality bed comforter set. Thread count can be a great indicator of the quality of product you are purchasing. The higher the thread count is, the higher quality the product.

Surviving Missing Futon Frame Hardware Nightmares

There seems to be quite a few of us who have owned a futon frame and ended up losing the connecting hardware at one time or another. I myself bought a futon from the retail store I worked in for a number of years back in the early 1990s when futons were all the rage. Maybe you purchased your futon in college, acquired it from a friend or maybe made the purchase for a family room. If you're lucky to live out your life in the same house or apartment there will never be a need to move your futon except perhaps to a different room or location. Obtaining replacement futon frame hardware involves several steps approached in order to locate exactly what you need.

Kids Futon Bed

In the first place don't panic just yet. Without the hardware to attach everything back together you're in some serious trouble. However there are ways to obtain what you need. At this point we could explain the many benefits of using a small bag to contain the hardware and attach it to a part of the frame with heavy packing tape so it's easily found. Who am I kidding though? I've moved mine now about three times and each time I ended up missing a bolt, a barrel nut, a nylon roller here and there. Heck, I was lucky I had all the wood components show up at each new move let alone any hardware that happened to make it as well. Besides, isn't moving your home stressful enough without having to keep track of a small bag of metal hardware among a sea of furniture, clothing, dishes, toys and appliances?

Kids Futon Bed

Pursuing this further we must calmly step back and think for a moment. Yes, we're stressed out and fuming at either our spouse or the moving company for losing the futon hardware but we need to move past that now. To be sure the futon needs our help and we're the only ones who can do it at this point. It's time for us to go through the steps of obtaining replacement hardware and there is a specific order in which we do this to obtain the fastest results. I would suggest the following steps to start tracking down replacement hardware as soon as possible.

First - identify your futon frame.
Having worked retail, it's quite possibly the toughest situation when a customer comes into the store needing assistance but can't identify the product to the salesperson or service individual when requesting parts. Granted you're going to have to do a little research by pulling your receipt when you bought the futon from the store and identify the model or name of the futon. If you inherited the futon, found it by the side of the road or bought it at a garage sale you're in for a tough road ahead. Fear not however as the internet can be used to help you find the design and attach a name to it for use in tracking down hardware. Be aware that there are dozens of manufacturers out there using different hardware in their frames including many that have since closed their doors. Hopefully the manufacturer of your frame is still around.

Second - speak to the retailer.
Of course if you purchased your futon frame through a local retail store it's time to head down there and see if they can track down the hardware for your frame. Bring your receipt. If you don't have a receipt, then bring an image of the futon frame with you. Hopefully the salesperson or service representative is knowledgeable about the products they've carried in the past. Best case scenario, they either can provide you with the name of the manufacturer with contact information or have the parts on hand to get you back up and running. Worst case scenario the store you purchased it from is out of business or if the store is still around they have no clue about the product anymore.

Third - search online.
Supposing we've hit the worse case scenario it's time to use the web to search for the manufacturer or the name of the style of futon you have. I'd suggest using Google, Bing or Yahoo and use the name adding the word futon to the search. If you weren't able to locate a name you're going to have to become a very good spotter and sift through the many images of futon frames till you find one that is very close to what you have. Identify the name of the style and the manufacturer and then proceed to locate the manufacturer of the futon frame.

Fourth - speak to the manufacturer.
Assuming the retailer didn't have parts but could identify the manufacturer for you then you at least have something to go on. Perhaps you were able to locate your frame style through the search engines. Again, search online using the websites previously discussed using the name of the manufacturer. You'll likely get some online retail stores off of the search. Filter them out visually until you find a link for the manufacturer. Most do have websites, locate a contact phone number or email address and contact them for information on obtaining hardware. If you're unable to locate the manufacturer's website go ahead and contact one of the many futon stores that pop-up in the search results and email them with your issue and ask if they can either sell you hardware or point you in the right direction for finding the manufacturer in hopes of tracking down hardware.

Finally - the last resort.
If you were unable to determine the name of the futon frame or the name of the manufacturer you are indeed in a tight spot. At this point your options are limited to heading down to a hardware store and seeing if you can locate some generic parts that might get you back up and running. The problem will be in the way of connecting bolts and barrel nuts and getting the right lengths if available. I would suggest taking one of the wood arms and a stretcher rail with you to the store. Begin plugging in different bolts and nuts till you find a combination that connects correctly. You'll also need to track down connecting pins, washers and clips for the seat and back section as well as the four nylon rollers that most futon frames use on the back rest. If you're lucky these may still be attached to the backrest deck making your job a bit easier.

In conclusion we've discussed the issues presented with lost futon hardware and how to go about tracking down the hardware you need. Basically identify your frame through a receipt or spotting it online. Visit the retailer store you purchased it from and obtain parts through them if they are still open. If you purchased it privately or inherited the frame track down the manufacturer using a search engine of your choice and speak to them about ordering replacements. If you aren't able to locate the manufacturer but have found stores online contact one of them to see if they can sell you hardware. If all else fails visit the local hardware store with your wood futon sections in hand and begin trying bolts and nuts till you find some that work. I sincerely hope you're able to obtain the needed hardware to get your futon frame back up and running. I wish you the best of luck to you and your futon.

There Are Futons That Are Quality Convertible Sofa Beds

Convertible sofa beds have become more popular in the last decade than they were in the decade before. I believe part of the reason for this is the change in design. Gone were the heavy and clunky hide-a-beds of the 70's and 80's. You know the style, the bed that pulls out from the couch with the metal bar that you could feel in your back through the wimpy mattress. Though this style is still available,other options are available. Such as the click clack sofa beds where the back of the sofa lies flat. Though this is actually a resurgence of a style of convertible bed that was around in the 1940's and 50's. The new style that really hit the market in recent years that led to a big market change in convertible sofa beds is the popularity of the futon.

Kids Futon Bed

At one time, when I thought of a futon, I thought of the special that you could find at discount stores. Black metal frame with a thin, 4" mattress. Not very comfortable as a sofa or a bed! But great for college students, newly married couples or anybody on a budget. But some people were able to see beyond the basics and the potential, and a couple of those guys were Mark Markos and John Widly. In 1986 they started American Furniture Alliance manufacturing bean bag chairs. But only a year later they expanded into futon convertible sofa beds. However, not the type mentioned above, but a real quality product that anybody would love to have in their home.

Kids Futon Bed

Gone were the tubular, metal frames that bent easily (especially in the middle where most people would sit), and in their place were all solid wood, or metal and wood frames of various styles. Styles range from solid sides with curved or angular lines to Mission style varieties, to sides with magazine holders and much more. There is also a wide variety of finishes available, from a light honey oak to a rustic finish to medium and golden oak, and if you like really dark wood, then go with a beautiful walnut or espresso finish. Their futons are stylish and durable, all hardware is hidden with wood plugs, and these convertible sofa beds are made only using select cut timber and tempered steel.

Not only is the frame great quality, but gone is the wimpy 4" foam mattress, and in its place is a 6" to 10" real mattress. Not only are there different thickness' available, but also different building components depending upon how much you want to spend and how much your futon will be used as a bed. All mattresses are made up of layers, and these layers can include convoluted foam, flat foam, density support or visco memory foam or even an inner spring coil like a standard mattress. All mattress insides are then wrapped in cotton before being placed inside the futon cover.

And talking about covers, I cannot even begin to describe the choices available! From solids to stripes to wonderful prints. Or you may choose micro fiber or leather. Let me just say that there is something for everybody and that they will have some type of upholstery that you will like.

Before American Furniture Alliance, a futon was a separate piece of furniture, but now it can be a part of a complete furniture set. Along with the futon, you can get a matching chair, that also reclines like the futon sofa, and can become another sleeper (especially for a child) when paired with the matching ottoman. Then complete the set with matching coffee and end tables.

Yes, convertible sofa beds have come a long ways, and so have futons. If a futon would serve a great purpose in your home, then check out American Furniture Alliance and what they have to offer. You will be pleased by the great variety of styles, finishes and upholstery choices available.

Step by Step Guide to Picking Kids Furniture

Just like children learn to walk one step at a time, choosing the best children's furniture for kids bedrooms is best done step by step.

Kids Futon Bed

Start at the Finish

Kids Futon Bed

For the easiest time choosing kids furniture the best first step to take is the last. That is to say, figure out what your desired end result will be. What is your goal for this children's furniture? What are you trying to accomplish in your furniture shopping?

Is your primary objective:

storage study space play/lounge/relaxation space a bed or some combination thereof?

Are you looking to replace a particular piece of kids furniture you already have, add a piece that's lacking, or give your kids bedroom a complete furniture overhaul? Is your priority cost, convenience, appearance, or quality?

Then ask yourself how much money you want to spend on this kids room decorating venture. If you have several children's furniture items you'd like to buy, for example, it helps to know your total budget for the project so that you don't accidentally wind up spending it all on a single item.

Answering these questions first will get your children's furniture shopping adventure off on the right foot.

The Critical Step: Measuring

Time to get out the tape measure and a pencil and paper and start measuring the space. The last thing you want to do is spend a lot of time searching for children's furniture only to realize that you can't even select a piece because you don't know how big (or small) you need it to be.

Measure not only the perimeter dimensions and the ceiling height of the room but measure the size and positioning of the windows and doors too (and that includes the door to the closet). Drawing yourself a simple map of the room may help. This way, when you consider placement of the children's furniture elements you're considering buying you know exactly

where it will (and won't) fit, as well as whether or not it causes any obstructions of doors, windows, or other permanent fixtures.

Pick a Theme

Simply put, picking your children's furniture to all coordinate with a theme gives you a unifying focus for all the room's elements. And picking a theme that excites and inspires your child's imagination will give them endless pleasure and pride in their personal space.

The Simplest Solution

Now that you're finally ready to start shopping, start with the bed. If the room doesn't have one yet, then the bed is the key element around which all the rest of the room's elements can fall into place.

Plus, if you're looking for storage, study, play/lounge/relaxation space and a bed too then there's a simple, single piece of children's furniture you could purchase that would accomplish all of the above needs and more - a custom theme bed.

Custom theme beds can be built with one bed or two. They can have play space and study space included. They can have built in shelving, drawers, cabinets, and other storage elements. And they can do all this in one, sturdy and durable unit.

Furthermore, you can have this multipurpose custom theme bed designed to appeal to your child's fondest interests and desires.

Metal Bunk Beds: Why They Have Started Replacing Wooden Ones At An Increasing Rate

In recent times, metal bunk beds have gained quite a lot of popularity as compared to their wooden counterparts due to several reasons. First of all, there has been quite a lot of commercialization during the past few years in production of metal for domestic purposes. This has made metal bunk beds cheaper to produce. Along with that, in the past decade the cost of acquiring wood for making furniture has gone up by quite a notch due to several environmental factors which has impacted the sales of wooden furniture negatively and in many cases people may not be able to afford wooden furniture anymore; especially if the wood used is of a high quality, such as Oak wood.

Kids Futon Bed

Along with that, metal bunk beds have also gained popularity due to the relative lack of maintenance required in them. All that is required to keep a painted metal bed in tip top condition would be a fresh coating of paint once in a few years along with occasional, but thorough cleaning using a dedicated cleaner. If the metal bed had been treated with an anti--rust coating when it was manufactured, the chances of the bed being spoilt by rust are even fewer.

Kids Futon Bed

On the other hand, some people do not prefer to purchase wooden beds because of the relatively high maintenance required to keep them preserved in their original condition. Wooden furniture usually loses its shine within a couple of years and requires regular cleaning and polishing to bring the furniture back to its original glory. With that, scratches and cracks that may appear in the wood have to be treated by a furniture expert and thus the cost of repairing the wooden furniture is quite high. Also, wooden furniture is usually not as strong as metallic furniture and as wood is not as malleable as metal, damage to the wooden furniture cannot be reversed simply by remolding it.

Metal furniture is also mostly lighter than wooden furniture and thus the cost of shipping metal bunk beds to people's homes is often much less than the shipping costs associated with wooden beds. Along with that, some people prefer that the wooden bunk bed is polished after it is installed rather than shipped and thus they have to bear the extra charges of the polishing after they have received delivery. Thus, many people have started switching to metal bunk beds from wooden ones due to all these reasons.

Using bunk beds is a good way to maximize space, especially if your floor area is very limited. This type of furniture is actually very popular and commonly found in the rooms of children, residence halls of colleges and universities, ships and trains.

Kids Futon Bed

If you are interested in creating your own bunk bed, you need to get sturdy materials together. Wood, plywood, deck screws, carriage bolts, nuts, washers, wood plugs, finishing nails, lag bolts and lock washers are often used in building such beds. The number and size of the materials depend on the size of the furniture that you will be making.

Kids Futon Bed

Here are some reminders before you start building your bunk bed.

1. Evaluate the room where you want your new bed to be. Plot the space that the bed will occupy and make allowances for the rest of the furniture in the room. Now get accurate measurements of the space where you plan to put your bed. Visit different hardware stores and acquire the needed materials before you start on your project. Make sure you shop around for the best possible deals.

2. In building your bunk bed, make sure that you will be able to get standard-sized mattresses for it. Before you start cutting through the wood you have purchased to build your bed frame, make sure that you have made allowances for your mattresses. It would be unwise to have a large frame for your bunk bed when your mattress is a lot smaller, or have too small a bed frame that causes the mattress to spill out at the sides. Make sure that you construct the lower of the two bed platforms at least twelve inches off the floor. As for the upper bed box, it could be any height.
