A small sunroom is perhaps one of the most challenging areas to decorate in a home. There are many reasons for this and most of them relate to size restrictions and theme. Most people like to decorate their small sunroom in a particular style and this means that the furniture must also follow a similar theme. Traditional furniture choices usually get dismissed early simply because they are either too large to fit into the small sunroom or, because they do not keep with the feel and decor of the room.

This is the reason that many people end up going with cheap wicker furniture or outdoor options in their small sunroom. Fortunately, there are small sunroom furniture options out there that offer you the comfort of a traditional small sofa, while still keeping with whatever theme you decide upon.

For a small sunroom, you should first nail down the function of the room. It makes no sense to pick the furniture or even the decor before you know how you wish to actually use the room. Are you planning on using the room as a green room of sorts? In other words, are you going to keep live plants in the small sunroom? Is the sunroom going to be used as a getaway for your family? Is comfort or space more important to you? How many people do you think you will entertain in your sunroom most often? All of these are questions that you should consider before choosing your furniture for your small sunroom.

In all likelihood you will want to have the most seating possible while still keeping enough space that the room does not seem crowded. This is where you are likely going to discover that traditional furniture is not really made for the small sunroom setup. Fortunately, we here at Simplicity Sofas have some great options available to you that keep you from having to sacrifice space, quality or flexibility. Here are several small sunroom furniture ideas that you can draw upon to overcome your space problems:

Simplicity Sofas offers stunning apartment sofas that are usually perfect for the average sunroom. They come in five styles and measure 54 inches in between the arms of the sofa. This is a fantastic way to add seating to your small sunroom. Best of all, our sofas comes in three pieces; so fitting this apartment sofa into your small sunroom will be a breeze. All of Simplicity Sofas apartment sofas are easily assembled within 15 minutes with no tools, and they are top of the line in quality. Click here to see the specifics of these wonderful apartment sofas and the various styles that you can choose.

Another great small sunroom option from Simplicity Sofas is the sensational sectional. This sectional sofa gives you that little bit of flexibility that you need to truly make your sunroom your own. Have you ever thought about how nice it might be to set up seating all along the windows of your small sunroom? This sectional sofa can do just that and do it with incredible style. Each piece can be assembled in 5 minutes or so and also can be mixed and matched to create the perfect configuration for your small sunroom. The sensational sectional can also be moved into your small sunroom easily as each piece is small enough to manage most any doorway or stairway.

If your small sunroom is going to be more along the line of a private room, then you might consider our chairs or loveseats. These are ideal options for people that want limited seating, but maximum comfort. You can view our loveseats here and our chairs here. Ottomans also make wonderful additions to sunrooms because they are easily stored anywhere and allow for simple seating additions or comfort when they are needed.

The word “magic” takes on a new meaning all its own during the Holidays and New Year and resonates throughout your family and home.

Magic for the Holidays and New Year

This is not the year to get stressed out over the little details. All  you need is a few added touches.

I recall the window displays at Macy’s, home to some of New York City’s most famous holiday window displays.

Some of us try to duplicate the colors and excitement into our clothing, lifestyle and gift-giving. We try to bring the magic of the lights, bows and overall ambiance into our own homes, living rooms or small apartments, while trying to recreate the Macy’s Day Parade at the same time.

Macy's in NY

I know I have tried to do this for years. It can be a bit overwhelming at times but, when it is all complete and the music is playing in the background, there is a sense of accomplishment – - and exhaustion.

OK – I’m already exhausted and I haven’t even lit the first candle.  How do you keep up with it all and still maintain your budget?

Simplicity Sofas has some quick ideas for you to make this happen.

Sometimes, you overlook yourself in the whole experience, as you try to make the occasion so special for others. Really, that’s what it’s all about; helping others and sharing the gift of love. But ask yourself this year, “What do I do for me?” Here are some ideas from Simplicity Sofas that can make your Holidays and New Year special for you!

• Simplicity Sofas has a limited selection of in-stock items that can be delivered in about a week. Call us to discuss these items. We can email you pictures of the seating available at the time. 800.813.2889

• For overnight gesusts – EnduraEase, our air sleep system can be fitted to ANY existing sofa that is at least 60″ wide between the arms and costs only $195 + $30 freight. This remarkable sleep system is 20 inches deep and is the perfect answer to accommodate the most discerning overnight guest. Call us and talk to us about adding this very important feature to your existing sofa and place your order now. Or, order online with your sofa purchase.

• Why not try adding a new storage ottoman or some additional fitted slipcovers for yourself?

Slipcovers for all Simplicity Sofas Collections

Do something for yourself this upcoming year! You can add one or two ottomans to your prior Simplicity Sofas seating, creating a new look and additional seating space. A new storage ottoman can complement your existing furniture, too; or serve as a great Holiday or New Year item that will be appreciated day after day.

Order some fitted slipcovers to your prior or existing purchase. Take a look at the 90 fabric options available and select your slipcovers or ottomans for yourself.

When slipcovers are added, you can change the entire look of your living space. Combining two ottomans can take the place of the old cocktail table or coffee table you have been looking to replace. Position them approximately one to three inches apart and 24 to 36 inches in front of your living room sofa or small sofa, just as you would the table and you have created a new space to prop up your feet and relax and extra storage space at the same time. Add a tray table on top of each one so you can place all your pictures, cards or provide additional space for appetizers for the New Year’s guests.

The fitted slipcovers make an exceptional update to your existing Simplicity Sofas purchase. Reds, golds, blues, silvers and shades of white can really change the look with minimal effort.

There is a lot of consideration that goes into making the Holidays and the New Year perfect for you and your loved ones. Make your list and check it twice and try to find the time to make it all happen for you too. Then kick up your feet on your new storage ottoman or sit back and relax on your new slipcovered sofa. It just takes a few extra items and very little time to make YOU and everyone feel at home for the Holidays and the New Year. (more…)

A living room should be designed to bring people together. It is a pleasant landscape or portrait that allows you to paint an unique view of yourself and create a space where others want to visit. Your space and the way you choose to decorate it says, “This is me and this is where I want to relax and spend quality time.”

What do you think about your space? Let’s take a take a trip inside your home, your style and your color and our world of options.

Do you live in a one-room studio apartment, a warehouse loft or a challenging small apartment where you need to make use of every inch of your interior? Just remember that your style and selections of color for your canvas make all the difference in the world.

Style and Substance Matters. Let’s look at a few options.

Studio Apartments
If you are moving into a studio apartment, some people choose sleeper sofas. Sometimes there just isn’t enough space for everything like small couches, chairs, tables, bed and other items. A sleeper sofa is a great space saving option as the piece is not only a full-size sofa which allows for maximum seating for guests when they arrive, but it is also a place for you to sleep comfortably when they leave.

Our sleeper sofa option is unique and allows for maximum seating space in a studio apartment and optimum sleeping arrangements for you. (See Sleeper Sofa option here) Place a couple of storage ottomans in front of the sofa for extra seating and/or storage. If you place tray tables on top of the ottomans, they can double as cocktail tables for you or your guest. When you are ready for bed, move the ottomans to either side of your sleeper sofa, easily transforming them into nightstands. Or slide the ottomans to the end of the sleeper sofa and pull out your favorite book from the storage compartment. Our innovative air sleep system will keep you dozing off to a peaceful sleep night after night.

Keep the colors of the walls and the fabrics of your upholstery complimenting, yet contrasting, as this adds drama to any small room. If you are allowed to paint the walls and considering new apartment furniture – - contrary to popular belief; paint the walls last! It may be a bit harder to do this, since the space is so small. But I recommend selecting your fabric and accessories first and backing into the wall color last. It’s easier to repaint than reupholster …

Warehouse Lofts
Are you redecorating your loft?

If you have the luxury of an open and airy space in a warehouse loft, laden with wood or brick as your backdrop, place a couple of small couches facing each other so you can see and interact with your invited guest. You can also add the storage ottomans to double as cocktail tables between the two sofas and keep a good scrabble game and conversation going.

Even if you have limited space in your loft apartment, floating a small couch in the middle of the loft will give you the extra seating you need to watch TV or chat with neighbors that pop in.

Do you have a roommate, but still want your own space in the living commons? Consider arranging a couple of chairs and a half near a large window away from the floating sofa. Place an accent table or bunching tables between the two chairs. This gives you and your housemate your own places to relax in silent comfort of the warm sun or, share conversation without having to share the small sofa. You can add a storage ottoman to the end of each chair and you both have your own space for magazines, books or laptops.

If you are lucky enough to have the original cement flooring in your loft, make sure you creatively paint it and accent with throw rugs which in and of itself creates separate spaces in a warehouse loft.

Small Apartments
Are you downsizing to a small apartment? Or are you moving from your studio apartment into a tiny bit bigger space to accommodate a new child or relative? Where do you put all the stuff? Even though there are lots of possibilities with both scenarios above, (see studio apartments and warehouse lofts ideas above), small apartments can be the most challenging, but still offer plenty of options.

Depending on your particular space, one thing you need to consider in a small apartment is your interior room measurements. There are a lot of options from Simplicity Sofas to fit EVERY need. When it comes to small apartments, our loveseats, small apartment sofas, chairs and full-size sleeper sofas will fit up your narrow stairs or elevator and through any door. Just have a pretty clear idea of where to place the items once they get there.

Space planning is so important. Our apartment sofas are very popular for this scenario. Don’t forget to place a chair in the room and throw contrasting colored pillows on the sofa to make the room come alive. We have all these options and more and welcome your phone call to discuss your particular project.

I have always been a proponent of the “two loveseats facing each other” concept. It allows for maximum space in a small apartment and if you have a roommate or someone else living with you, you each have your own place in the living room to relax without sitting on top of each other or bringing in uncomfortable futons. Forget the futon! And don’t forget, storage ottomans and/or nesting tables which are always popular ideas for decorating and maximizing the small apartment space.

Wall color, upholstery color and properly-sized placement of mirrors and artwork are all important in a small apartment. All, if chosen and placed accordingly will make the room look and feel larger.

So take a trip inside your home and around our world! You don’t need to feel like you’re living in a bubble.

Slipcovers are a chic and fashionable way to dress up a small apartment or studio loft and will change the look and feel of your specific room very quickly. For instance, if you are purchasing a Simplicity Sofas living room collection or a small couch and chair in neutral colors, you might consider adding some colorful slipcovers for the Summer to brighten up the room!  You can become your own Interior Designer and change your surroundings with the seasons using our optional slipcovers – -

For Fall, add a slipcover to our chairs and a half in darker or complimenting colors to accent your original neutral tone of your small sofa. Adding throw pillows to small couches with alternating fabrics will really pull the look together. Check out this combination -  -

If you host events during the Winter Holidays, consider slipcovers that combine shades of red, white, green or gold tones.This will make a room come alive for the occasion and create a Winter wonderland when paired with your decorations. Adding slipcovers during the Holiday season is like adding trimming to your tree.

Got pets? Then you may want to take a look at our pet-proof fabrics. These fabrics are lifesavers when it comes to children and pets and a great alternative to keeping your beach condo or lake furniture free from water spots, spills and accidents.

Simplicity Sofas slipcovers are custom made and specifically tailored to fit each piece of furniture we manufacture. They are not loose-fitting and you won’t have to spend countless hours measuring your sofa for the perfect fit. The color combinations are endless with 70 different fabrics from which to choose or, you can send us your own fabric and we’ll make the slipcovers to fit our seating for you.

Not quite sure which combination will work well for your space? We’ll be happy to help you decide and send you free fabric swatches for your convenience.

Fabrics, fabrics and more fabrics!

Winter coziness has opened its windows to Spring and Summer liveliness and Simplicity Sofas is excited about helping you bring color and functionality to your lifestyle. It’s no secret that the housing market is down right now and people are looking for new and exciting ways to make their existing homes or small apartments their havens.

Adding some color to your life and continuing to create an inviting space that you can enjoy with friends and family during these wonderful seasons will make all the difference.

Simplicity Sofas can help you brighten up your space for the Spring and Summer months and make it bloom inside with easy-to-assemble quality furniture, new fabric selections and colorful slipcovers.

If you’re thinking about purchasing a new sofa, love seat or chair, keep in mind these can become some of your more versatile pieces by adding brightly colored slipcovers.

We took the Brandon sofa, chair and ottoman, covered them in slipcovers of green and blue hues – - bringing the colors of the outdoors in. It made the room cheery and welcoming for the ensuing Spring and Summer months, reflecting the green of the grass and the blue of the sky…

Here’s just a few quick tips –

1. Accent your new furniture by moving some accessories or artwork from one room to another creating a simple, but new look.

2. Paint something: Whether it’s just some old baskets or pots you use for indoor plants and flowers, adding a little bit of color will lighten up your day.

3. Update those dark picture frames with colorful spray paint to match your new decor.

4. If it’s time to clean out the fireplace, do it and try putting a decorative flower arrangement or colorful candles inside instead.

What a difference just a few things can make!
