Top Benefits of Concrete Dining Tables

concrete slab dining table

Concrete has been a hot trend for some time now—and it shows no sign of cooling off. People are turning to concrete over other natural stones for everything from kitchen counters and flooring to dining room furniture. If you’re currently shopping for a new dining room table, here are some of the pros and cons of concrete dining room tables.

PROS

Durability

There’s no question dining room tables take a beating. From hot dishes and drinks to spills and scratching, it can be difficult to keep them looking like new. However, concrete dining room tables are extremely durable. They’re sturdy, strong and heat- and scratch-resistant, which means they’ll last for years with little wear and tear.

Easy to Clean

Cement dining room sets are also very easy to clean because they are water-resistant, unlike other common dining room table materials such as wood. Concrete dining room tables can be wiped down with mild soap and water and doing so regularly will help ensure your table stays in excellent shape.

Sleek & Modern

If your home has a modern aesthetic, concrete tables are ideal. They easily complement sleek, contemporary dining rooms, whether they have an industrial-chic vibe or more of a mid-century look.

CONS

Needs Sealant

Concrete is not without its flaws, though there are few. One con is the fact that the material is porous. This means that it can easily absorb liquid and needs to be sealed immediately after purchase and resealed every one to three years. Sealant can be damaged by extreme heat, sharp knives and harsh cleaners, so it’s also important to stay on top of your sealant schedule.

At The RoomPlace, you can get it all: modern furniture that is stylish, durable and affordable. Check out our sleek dining room sets online at www.theroomplace.com or visit any of our showrooms throughout Illinois and Indiana to see them in person.

Low Bed vs. High Bed: Which Is Right for You?

Standard bed height may not be the first thing you think about when shopping for new bedroom furniture. But it’s an important factor to consider, as the choice you make will end up affecting you every single night. When deciding between a high vs. low bed, there are two common types to consider — standard and platform. Read this overview of the pros and cons of platform beds and standard beds to help you make an informed decision.

Platform Beds

Platform bed frames are lower than standard bed height. This low-to-the-ground position gives them a cool, sleek look that complements most modern bedroom designs. They’re also a good choice if you’re watching your budget because you don’t have to purchase a box spring. If you have young children or small pets sleeping with you, a platform bed can be safer for them to get in and out of because of its low height.

Standard Beds

Because standard bed frame height has a much higher elevation from the ground than platform bed height, standard beds can be easier for elderly people and people with mobility issues to get in and out of. If you’re shopping for a frame you hope to keep for years and continue to use as you age, a standard frame might be the smartest choice.

Standard beds are also good for small bedrooms as they offer more storage. They typically allow for at least 25 inches of space between the floor and the top of the mattress, giving you more room to store items you may not have room for in your closets or dresser drawers.

Mattress Considerations

While the main factor affecting bed height is the frame itself, mattress height can also play a role. Factors like support levels, quality and comfort can affect the height of the mattress itself and impact the overall elevation of your bed. These factors vary by brand and can make a difference in the height of your standard or platform bed, so it’s important to remember to consider them when you’re shopping.

The RoomPlace is always adding new styles and collections of bedroom furniture to its inventory, including platform beds, standard beds and mattresses.

Bar Stool Height Guide

Finding the perfect bar stools can be tricky. Not only is there color, style, and material to consider, but the right height is critical to a stool that is as functional as it is stylish. Narrowing down the right height for your bar, counter, or table is a great place to start when picking stools.

How Much Space Do You Need for Bar Stools?

When adding barstools to a counter or table, you need to bring legroom into the equation. You should leave about 10 inches between a seat and the counter or table. This distance is usually the most comfortable for someone of average height. To figure out how tall your chairs should be, grab a measuring tape, pencil, and paper. Measure from the floor to the top of the counter or table surface. Write down that number and subtract 10 inches to get the height of the stool you need for that space.

Remember to also measure the length of the counter to determine the number of stools that can fit in the space. A good rule of thumb is to allow 28 inches for each place setting.

COUNTER STOOLS

What is the Difference Between Counter Height and Bar Height?

Overall, counter stools and bar stools are pretty similar. They both come in similar styles, and you can find options with and without backs. However, there is a bit of a height difference between the two. Counter-height bar stools tend to have a seat height of 24 inches, which makes them a great choice for most breakfast bars and kitchen counters. Keeping the 10-inch legroom rule in mind, they’re ideal for dining tables in the 34-39 inch range.

Bar-height stools are slightly taller and usually have a seat height of 30 inches. You may also see these called pub stools, and while pub stools are typically the same height, you always want to double-check product specifications. Bar stools work well with tables in the 40-43 inch range.

BAR STOOLS

A third stool option is the table stool, but these aren’t sold at a standard height. If you want table stools, you’ll most likely need to purchase them as part of a dining set, but sometimes you can find them available individually. For a standard height table, look for a short stool or bench in the 18-22 inch range.

TABLE STOOLS

table stoolIf you have a non-standard height counter or table, adjustable-height bar stools will be your best bet. The seat height on these stools can be adjusted up to 10 inches to perfectly fit your space. At The RoomPlace you’ll find dozens of stools in all sizes and styles. Shop our collection online or visit our showrooms in the Chicago or Indianapolis to find the right one for you.

Girls’ Disney Princess Bedroom Furniture

Modern families are finding ways to take traditional bedroom design, and with creative decorations and fabrics, keep girls rooms up to date as they mature. One highly popular girls’ bedroom furniture set is the Disney furniture collection, which features traditional furniture that truly makes every girl’s fantasy bedroom come true. With these six-piece bedroom sets, girls’ bedroom design can often last from toddler age to middle or high school.

What Items Are Typically Included in a Disney Bedroom Set?

Like with all bedroom sets, the pieces included in your girls’ Disney Princess bedroom furniture set can vary depending on what you go for. We recommend our six pieces because they feature everything your daughter needs, including a headboard, footboard, bed frame, dresser, nightstand and mirror.

Disney Belle Poster 6 Pc. Full Poster Kid's Bedroom

For those desiring a more mature but charming look lasting well into high school, the Disney Belle Collection will allow a young girl blossom into womanhood with enchanting style. The traditional cherry finish offers rich good looks, and the sleigh bed in twin or full sizes will last throughout childhood with its bed locking system that adjusts from high to low as your little belle grows.

The Disney carriage collection features a dreamy canopy bed that is reminiscent of Cinderella’s famous carriage. Your little girl will feel like royalty with the romantic styling of the bed made of white gold-finished frame and added heart-shaped dresser mirror. Another Disney princess bed style available is the four-poster bed in white finish.

Is Disney Furniture Quality?

When picking out girls’ bedroom furniture, you want to make sure you’re getting a bedroom set that will last for years to come. All Disney furniture in these collections feature ornate, ribbon and heart embellishments, hardwood or crystal style finials and English dovetail construction. The quality of Disney furniture can’t be matched. In addition to quality materials and craftsmanship, these Disney bedroom sets come with sophisticated finishes and designs that your daughter will still love long after she’s left her princess phase.

How Do I Coordinate Decorations with Children’s Disney-Themed Bedroom Sets?

Our Disney Princess bedroom sets make it easy for you to coordinate decorations. Instead of the pinks and purples you might find with other Disney sets, ours feature more subtle options like cherry wood and white gold finishes. The neutral colors will go great with any Disney bedding or decor you want to add.

You can even add non-Disney decor that still brings some extra magic to the room. The Gold Mirror Burst Wall Decor can be hung up to resemble sparkles of fairy dust on the wall, and the Tri Flower Wall Decor will look stunning in any Disney room. For a touch of elegant magic, switch out your standard lamp or ceiling light with a beautiful chandelier.

Save with our package pricing that offers significant savings on all the Disney bedroom collection. With romantic beds, dressers, mirrors, desks and nightstands, your daughter’s dream room can be a reality.

Glam Bedroom Makeover

glam-bedroom-set

our obsession with Hollywood: The glam style trend continues to be white hot. With luxurious fabrics and metallic accents, the glam style is showing up everywhere, especially in bedrooms. After all, who doesn’t want to wake up feeling glamorous?

What is Modern Glam Style?

Modern glam is becoming increasing popular, but what exactly constitutes as glam style? While you might be picturing flashy and glittery rooms, glam is on the subtle and sophisticated side. Don’t worry, there is plenty of sparkle involved, but it’s incorporated in a more refined way. Modern glam is often identified by neutrals, jewel colors, pastels, lots of texture and reflective surfaces like mirrors, metallics and crystals. Some common features seen in modern glam spaces are tufted furniture, faux fur ottomans, metal accent pieces and dramatic lighting fixtures such as crystal chandeliers.

How Do I Make My Bedroom Glamorous?

You don’t always need to buy all new furniture to put together a modern glam room. You can easily cover the basics with some décor and accessories. To get the glam look in your bedroom, bring in plenty of texture, like chenille and feathers, with throw pillows and blankets. Use metallic hardware, lamps, and candle holders for sparkle and sophistication. Put a soft area rug under foot, and hang a chandelier, and your glam bedroom makeover is complete.

Here are some more glam bedroom ideas:

  • Use dark, textured wallpaper as an accent wall behind your headboard
  • Get a silky gold throw blanket or a faux fur blanket for the end of the bed.
  • Add throw pillows with feathers, jewels, and ruffles.
  • Hang a trio of decorative mirrors above the bed.
  • Use mini chandeliers for bedside lighting.
  • Gray is a good pallet for a glam bedroom.
  • Add pops of color with a magenta velvet ottoman or a turquoise throw pillow.
  • Glam decor is big on floral, so fill crystal vases with all white flowers for your nightstands.

How Can I Make My Bedroom Look Upscale on a Budget?

Just because the glam style trend looks expensive, it doesn’t have to break the bank. If you’ve been searching for affordable bedroom makeovers, you’ve come to the right place. You can get a complete glam bedroom for less at The RoomPlace. When giving your bedroom a glam makeover, you want to find the perfect furniture set.

The dresser is topped with a beautiful beveled mirror.

Want to do a glam makeover with more than just your bedroom?

Nursery Glider Vs. Recliner

Recliner

Decorating a nursery involves a lot of choices and typically a lot of research. The best crib, the safest mattress, even changing table options – everyone has an opinion. One thing that most experienced parents agree on is the importance of having a comfortable seating option in the nursery for the many late-night feedings ahead. One big decision you need to make is whether you should get a glider or recliner for your nursery. In this blog, we’ll go over the pros and cons of choosing a recliner or glider for the nursery.

What are the Benefits of a Glider Chair?

A glider is similar to a traditional rocking chair but is different in the way it moves. Rockers move in an arc motion, while gliders move in a back and forth motion. They are typically only used in nurseries and feature a hardwood construction with a removable cushion. There are also pricier upholstered versions. Gliders aren’t typically the most comfortable option for Mom, but their gliding motion can be extremely useful when trying to calm or soothe a baby.

Pros

  • Smooth gliding motion
  • Removable cushion for easy cleaning
  • Affordable

Cons

  • Doesn’t recline
  • Doesn’t swivel
  • Footrest/ottoman is often an additional cost
  • Usually the back isn’t high enough to rest your head on
  • Can’t be used to sleep in
  • Narrow armrests make nursing/bottle feeding difficult without additional pillows

What are the Benefits of a Rocking Chair or Recliner?

recliner is designed with comfort in mind. After a long day of changing diapers, feeding and cleaning, nothing quite matches the feeling of sinking into a plush recliner. They come in a variety of styles and fabric options to fit in with almost any décor. You can even find recliners with adjustable headrests and power reclining for the utmost comfort and ease. Many people shy away from recliners because they can be stationary pieces of furniture. However, function varies by model, and most offer rocking and swivel motions in addition to the recline feature.

Pros

  • Very comfortable
  • Can rock or be reclined for sleep
  • Built-in footrest
  • Many models swivel, rock, and recline
  • Wide cushioned armrests and lumbar support make it comfortable for nursing
  • Many styles available
  • Can be reused in another room of your home when children outgrow the nursery

Cons

  • Can only be spot cleaned
  • Typically more expensive than gliders

Should I Get a Glider or Recliner for Nursery?

The glider vs. recliner decision really boils down to your budget, preference and need. Everybody’s different, and there’s no magic one-size-fits-all glider or recliner for nurseries. If you have a smaller budget and want something simple, gliders are a great choice. Just keep in mind you likely won’t use it outside of the nursery. If you have a larger budget or want a chair that can be used long after your child has outgrown their nursery, recliners are perfect. Whether you go with a recliner or glider, be sure you choose a durable one with a stain-resistant fabric.

We hope the information above has helped you pick a side on the “recliner vs. glider for the nursery” debate. To shop our recliners, browse our complete collection online or test them out in store to find the most comfortable recliner for you at any of our locations in Indiana and Indianapolis.

Best Pet-Friendly Couches

For those of us who own pets, it’s impossible to imagine life without them. Pet owners would do anything to keep their four-legged family members healthy and happy, including letting them hang out on the sofa. Fortunately, there are pet-friendly couches that hide pet hair and are easy to clean. Take a look at our three favorites below.

What is the Best Fabric for a Sofa with Pets?

When it comes to pet hair, you can never go wrong with a microfiber fabric. If you’ve been searching for a pet-friendly sectional couch, there’s a lot to love about the  Aiden 2-piece Sectional. Aside from being stylish, the microfiber cover is a great option for pet owners. Tight weave microfiber can prevent pet hair from sticking to the couch, but if pet hair does end up on the upholstery, it’s a breeze to clean off. Removing hair from synthetic fabrics is as simple as running the vacuum over the fabric or using a lint roller. You can also wipe it down with a wet cloth to easily remove any dirt.

Another plus, the tight weave of the microfiber makes it one of the best at standing up to cat claws. You and your furry best friend will love this super comfy and easy to clean sectional.

What Fabric is Best for Hiding Pet Hair?

Being a pet owner often means trying your best to hide pet hair by picking darker flooring (or lighter if you have a light-colored pet) and furniture that will make the hair blend in. An easy way to hide the appearance of pet hair is by choosing patterned fabric. The Constance Sofa is absolutely gorgeous. It achieves a traditional look thanks to its hand-carved wood frame and traditional upholstery. It’s a durable option, plus it comes with coordinating pillows that can be placed to keep pets off the couch.

You’ll also notice its beautiful fabric pattern. If you can’t commit to vacuuming the sofa regularly and want an option that’s low maintenance, this sofa is the one for you and your furry friend. The fabric pattern does a great job of camouflaging pet hair so it’s not a noticeable eyesore to your guests.

What Couch Material is Easiest to Clean?

If you want an easy-to-clean material, you’re going to want to go with a leather couch. Not only is it easy to wipe down, but real leather tends to be pretty durable. The Echo Brown 3 Pc. Leather Power Living Room is another great option for pet owners. While your pup may not appreciate the reclining seats, you certainly will. Keeping the Echo clean is a simple as wiping it down with a damp cloth. Using a leather conditioner once a month will keep this sectional looking new for years to come. The dark color will also do a great job of hiding hair if you have pets with dark fur. If you’re still worried about fur or claws, a blanket always makes a nice additional decoration and can keep your pet off the leather.

No matter how much you love your pets, dealing with their trail of fur can definitely put a strain on the relationship. Whether it’s dog or cat hair you’re up against, the three pieces above will make cleanup much easier while providing all the other benefits of high-quality furniture.
