Using Eclectic Furniture Collections to Liven Up Your Space

If eclectic furniture is not properly arranged, it can make a space appear chaotic and jumbled instead of chic and interesting. One way to ensure that your living room or family room doesn't look too busy is to try out different furniture arrangements until you arrive at one that provides a sense of balance and harmony in the space.

Another way to liven up the space is to place furnishings in a manner that highlights the architectural qualities of the room, such as its crown molding or natural wall alcoves. To learn more about using eclectic furniture collections in your design, check out this video.

Guide to Standard Mattress Sizes

If you're getting ready to purchase a new mattress, your chief concern is probably comfort. However, you should also be sure to consider the size of your new mattress. A standard twin mattress is the smallest mattress – at around 38 inches by 75 inches – and is an appropriate choice for those with limited space or small children. The next size up, a full mattress, is often purchased by couples wanting to save money, though some couples feel it doesn’t have enough room. Couples should look for a queen-sized bed or a larger king or California king. The latter is a roomy 72 inches by 84 inches, making it longer than an 80-inch standard king.

There are several other more “novelty” type mattresses, including the futon mattress, crib mattress, and toddler mattress. No matter what type of mattress you settle on, you can find a bed frame and corresponding bedroom furniture to complete your sleep space at the Home Consignment Center.
