Team Up with The RoomPlace to Start Baseball Season in Style

For Chicago sports fans, April showers bring one thing: the beginning of baseball season.

With so many furniture stores throughout northern Illinois and Indiana, The RoomPlace understands that our customer base encompasses fans of the White Sox, the Cubs, the team from your hometown across the country, and every club in between. But as much as everyone loves America’s favorite pasttime, it might be difficult to make it out to every live game during the six-month-long season. So when it comes time for that first pitch, most of us will be perched on the edge of our seats in not the bleachers, but rather the leather sofa in our living rooms.

Of course, not all living rooms are created equal, and that’s where The RoomPlace comes in. There are plenty of ways to enjoy the game, but nothing beats the image quality and enhanced detail provided by a big-screen TV. And doesn’t yours deserve a nice home?

A great TV accomplishes plenty on its own, but it would look kind of silly sitting in the middle of your living room floor. Fortunately, at The RoomPlace store nearest you, you’ll find a wide variety of quality entertainment centers in every size, style, color and material you can dream up. For your next big game party, try this robust four-piece wall unit from the Clybourn Collection that will serve as a clear centerpiece for all the action. Or maybe you’d prefer the more traditional-styled Hamilton four-piece entertainment center, with its brown cherry finish and ample room for media storage.

But the team at The RoomPlace understands that not every game is grounds for a party. For fans who enjoy a little late-night baseball as they’re falling asleep in their bedrooms, this easily maneuverable Bella TV Stand could be a perfect fit. You might also appreciate the simple elegance of the Shubert TV Console, available in multiple dimensions with decorative sliding doors. Whatever your baseball entertainment needs require, the selection of media centers available at The RoomPlace has something for every kind of fan.

Whether you’re looking for a new sectional or an entire living room set, The RoomPlace can promise top-notch customer service, affordable prices, and speedy delivery on all your Chicago furniture needs. Besides a shot at this year’s World Series, what more could you ask for?

Furniture has come a long way in the last 50 years

How Fun… Look what we found! Here is an old ad of ours from 1956… I bet that FREE TV give away was a black & white…

In 1956 I bet they thought by 2013 we would have space travel, moving side walks, talking to people through our watch and TV's would be tiny to huge; but super thin..

 
  • We have people in space (Check)
  • Moving sidewalks at the airports (Check)
  • Tiny cell phones, earpieces and yes, even a watch phone (Check)
  • TV's, well yes we did that too. (Check)

Furniture design sure has changed in the last 57 years. Living room furniture configurations changed and became much more comfortable. With television becoming more of a center piece in every living room the furniture started to be made for that purpose. Comfort meant softer seating and reclining mechanisms. Sectionals now have chaises attached or separate.. You can even find sofa and love seats with recliners in them. With technology advances you can even have power recliners or power massage and speakers in your furniture. You will even see some living room sectionals and sofas with built in coolers for your drinks. Home Theater has created a whole new group of furniture.2, 3, 4 and 5 or more seats; all reclining and attached. You will usually find a cup holder in each one of these comfortable movie chairs.

Beat the Stress of a Shortened Month with a Little Help from The RoomPlace

Don’t look now, but there’s less than one week left until March.

Yeah, it snuck up on us, too. Here at The RoomPlace, we’re all-too familiar with the stresses that go along with the end of the month: bills to pay, deadlines to meet, hectic work days to survive. And with only 28 days in February, saying “so much to do, so little time” couldn’t be more appropriate.

But we do have one secret weapon to help beat the stress at The RoomPlace, and that’s being able to provide the best medicine for all that headache-inducing, neck-straining pressure: comfortable, luxurious, “ahhhhh”-worthy furniture. Because let’s face it: Nothing’s more relaxing at the end of a long day than sinking into your leather sofa with a mug of tea and your favorite book or TV show. So as you’re wrapping up that to-do list that seems a mile longer than usual this week, let’s take a moment to reflect on some of our favorite soothing items here at The RoomPlace furniture stores.

  • Recline. When it comes to comfort, nothing beats the recliner in your living room that practically swallows you when you sit down. Try out the velvet-like microfiber of the slate gray Tres Power Rocker Recliner, which hugs all your limbs by leaving no gap between the seat and footrest and offering extra-full, cushioned pillowtop arms. Or check out this Rocker Recliner from the Geovani Collection, which combines luxury with environmental friendliness by using cocoa-colored Eco-leather upholstery.
  • Indulge. We’re not trying to advocate an unhealthy lifestyle, but when you’ve had a tough day, there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself to a rewarding buffet-style supper. You probably don’t feel like cooking, so give yourself the night off and arrange some snacks and appetizers on your sideboard, like our Northfield Server or this slightly more upscale piece from the Monte Carlo Collection. When you really need to unwind, you might even appreciate the wine rack on this buffet from the Lauren Collection!
  • Hit the snooze button. Your discipline in waking up before work every morning to hit the gym or get a headstart on answering your emails is commendable, but your work (and mental health!) will suffer if you’re not getting enough sleep. Give yourself a break and hit the snooze button at least once this week – it’s surprisingly easy when you’re sleeping on a Comfort Solutions or Dormia king mattress!

When you choose The RoomPlace, relaxing can be as simple as replacing some of your furniture. Indianapolis and Chicago residents alike can breathe a sigh of relief now that the nasty Midwest winter is almost behind us, so why not celebrate with a little shopping? In addition to the comfy, cozy items discussed above, The RoomPlace has plenty of other pieces to suit all your furniture needs. From hardwood furniture to twin mattress sets, our affordable furniture collection is full of variety and style. Contact The RoomPlace today to learn more about how you can save on your next furniture purchase in IL or IN, or better yet, stop by The RoomPlace store nearest you to peruse our selection in person.

On second thought, maybe that can wait until next week. You could probably use a nap.

How to Spruce up your room at The RoomPlace

 

A new area rug is the perfect way to spruce up a room.  They are not just for living rooms either.  A great area rug is an excellent way to warm up your bedroom or dining room.
They are often the focus of a room so a small change in a rug can completely alter the appearance and feeling of the room


 The addition of color and texture can pull together your furniture and it can help a collection of pieces fit into a group instead of separate objects.


To change the mood of your room and having some fun, try the following. If your space is currently formal and neutral, considering adding a rug with pops of color or a fun pattern to relax the atmosphere in the room. If you have a very casual space that you’d like to dress up, consider adding an area rug that is monochromatic or has a traditional pattern. This will formalize your space and bring up the sophistication level.

An excellent option is the Terra Rug

Versatile enough fit with any decor, our Terra area rug (5×8) boasts cool dimension and warm tones. The color palette is reminiscent of a desert landscape, and the distinct texture lends a handmade appearance that is worldy-wise and stylish. Machine-woven Olefin construction offers easy care and long-lasting durability.

 

Whatever rug you need to spruce up your living space, we have it – and we have it at a great price. Start browsing for area rugs online and have some fun!

How to Spread a Little Love around Your Home

With tempting chocolate displays, flowers galore, and oversized stuffed animals dominating every store you’ve entered in the past few weeks, it probably hasn’t escaped your attention that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Here at The RoomPlace furniture stores, we understand that the imminent holiday probably brings a mixture of delighted excitement and “oh brother” groans amongst those looking for furniture in Indianapolis and the greater Chicago area. So we’ll try to keep this post as cliché-free as possible!

Instead of marking February 14th by decorating your house with those staple cutout cupids and paper chains of red and pink hearts, try creating this year’s romantic Valentine’s Day ambiance with one of these slightly more subtle tricks.

  • Exchange those pink and red hearts for some gentler pink and red tones. Love is in the air when you infuse your living room with the alluring hues of lavender, amethyst, lilac, and plum. Try highlighting these colors in a soft flower arrangement, new lampshade or provocative candelabra, or invest in a jewel-toned-framed Venetian mirror for the foyer.
  • Bring out the fine china. Nothing says romance like breaking out the china dishware for an intimate meal by candlelight. If your grandmother’s china has been gathering dust in a box in your closet, romanticizing the home might be the best excuse to invest in a brand-new china cabinet that will give them all the attention they deserve.
  • Make it sparkle. It’s easy to create a romantic glow without going overboard. Try hanging some crystal sconces between your dining room windows so they catch the natural light, or select a glass lamp like this Jolisa table lamp from the Chloe Collection to make your living room really shine.
  • Don’t forget the details. What could be more romantic than luxurious linens and a beautiful ornate headboard, like the one on this king bed from the Santa Cruz Collection? The best kind of sensuality is comfort, so plump up some pillows and add some velvet or silk materials for some truly relaxed bedroom charm.

Between our 21 locations throughout Indianapolis and Chicago, furniture shoppers and interior design connoisseurs should be able to find all the inspiration they need when they shop at The RoomPlace. With a wide selection of living room and dining room sets, kids’ bedroom collections, and various home accents, our IL and IN furniture stores have plenty to offer! For all your affordable furniture and home decorating needs, count on The RoomPlace furniture stores to deliver.

Relax in Style

 

Recliners are great for relieving stress.  They can also help people who are suffering from back pain.  Unlike normal chairs, which focus the forces of gravity on the small of the back and the feet, recliners distribute gravity evenly around the body while lifting the entire body from the ground. This process pushes the weight of the upper body into the back of the chair instead of the lower back. The upper back also is relieved because instead of pressing back on one point, the weight is distributed evenly allowing the back muscles to relax instead of forcing them to hold a certain posture. 

Power recliners can be an even better choice for people with back pain because the positions are endless.  With an electric motor inside, the chair can be put into any position with just the touch of a button.  These chairs can work in many rooms of your home whether it is part of a complete living room set or perhaps in your bedroom to create a nice relaxing area to read or watch television.  

We have an excellent selection of recliners, reclining sofas and loveseats.  Right now you can also get your reclining furniture on sale in time for the big game with our next day delivery!
