Recent research from the popular online real estate service Zillow.com indicates that American homeowners have big plans for their homes in the fall, with many of us planning ambitious home improvement projects and renovations. The study found that over half of United States homeowners are planning to make updates to their homes, with the most popular additions being playrooms and home offices.

As we come off of our more leisurely summer schedules and transition into new routines, our demands of our living spaces change as well. So it’s not surprising that many of us are seriously considering updating our home workspaces with amenities like coffee bars and mini-kitchens to accommodate longer working hours and a need for flexibility when juggling kids and career. More and more of us are taking our work home, so a home office is an increasingly viable solution for the increasing demands on the modern professional’s time. Homeowners (and families, in general) increasingly need furniture that can perform double and even triple duty, as home offices will often serve as guest bedrooms, playrooms, etc. when no one’s on the clock.

Playrooms in their own right are also growing in popularity, hand-in-hand with a new focus on integrating both physical and mental play for recreation. Eco-friendly materials are especially sought-after for playrooms. But the appeal of these multi-purpose areas doesn’t end with learning and fun—many families can use the space for other things, like parties, projects and even for storage.

Here at The RoomPlace, we acknowledge that as our lifestyles change, so do our requirements for our homes. If your furniture isn’t keeping up, come see us to get the pieces you need to get the most out of your space. We’d love to show you through your Chicagoland furniture options as we head into Fall! Stop by one of our many furniture store locations today.

They are often a good solution for a kitchen as they offer additional preparation space and allow those who are seated at this height to easily converse with those standing in the kitchen.  Counter Height Tables are also considered more casual, and make it easier to converse with others standing in the room. They give the illusion of taking up less space than a lower table and can work well in small areas. Because Counter Height Tables are considered less formal, they create a more relaxed, casual atmosphere than sitting at a lower, more formal table.

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to cuddle up in your living room with a new love seat.  A perfect option to get cozy, love seats are designed to fit two people.  Plus if you have limited space a love seat can be a great alternative to a sofa.  Or you can face to love seats together to frame the room and create a romantic space.

Thank you Jasmine and Brian for trading my furniture that was to big for my room. The new furniture came today no problems. Looks great feels comfy too. Thanks for making things right. I will be shopping with you again. Thanks

Celebrating 100 Years is definitely a company-wide celebration. Pride runs deep at The Room Place and our Distribution Center definitely shows that.

Our Men and Women at our DC are responsible for all the furniture coming in from our vendors and going out to our valued customers. These hardworking Room Place employees are responsible for over 300,000 square feet of warehouse. Every day they are receiving, stocking, shipping, building and delivering to our customers’ homes.

To say that our Distribution Center employees are hardworking people with great attitudes and plenty of pride is really an understatement. If you were to step into the warehouse you would see what makes The Room Place GREAT! Just stepping in you will be in awe from the sheer size of the place. Then you will be pleasantly surprised by the efficiency, cleanliness and magnitude of furniture being built, moved and shipped. What is most impressive is seeing how smooth everything runs and the passion and pride each and every person has in their job. We even have a group of DC employees that have been with the company 20+ years and many more that are inching their way up to 20. You just don’t see longevity anywhere unless there is a reason to stay.

With our company celebrating 100 Years this year we all have something to be prideful of, a reason to stay… Pride, passion and a good dose of fun can be found throughout The Roomplace. Just look inside any of our 21 showrooms, our Distribution Center or customer service and you will meet the people that make buying furniture from the Roomplace great. The exceptional teams at The Roomplace and our fantastic customers are how we are able to even celebrate 100 Years.. And we will never lose sight of that!!

The Roomplace is proud to be family owned for the last 100 Years and we look forward to another 100 Years bringing beautiful, quality furniture into each and every customers home.

I am overly impressed and pleased with my online purchases from the Room Place. I am a first time home buyer looking to furnish my complete house with good quality furniture at a reasonable price. I found everything and more by browsing the Room Place online! I love the convenience of purchasing furniture online as other companies do not offer such convenience. Let the record show this was my first time ever purchasing anything from The Room place also. So needless to say I am overjoyed with my new furniture, the great prices, and the online convenience. Thank you Room Place!
