How to Setup A Bedroom Set

Have a bedroom furniture set that you have no idea of how to put together? Many people have the misconception that bedroom furniture takes hours and hours to set up and is very difficult, but its actually the exact opposite. It is actually the easiest to setup out of all the furniture that you might purchase for your home.

Heres the reason, 90% of the pieces in a bedroom set are 100% assembled. Case goods such as your Night Stand, Dresser, and Chest of drawers are all assembled and ready to go. The only thing that will need assembly is your bed and probably your mirror to be attached to the wall or the dresser.

Step 1: Take all case goods out of their boxes by sliding it out of the box by tilting it to its side.

Step 2: Place and arrange your drawers/case goods in your room, be sure to leave a space for your bed.

Step 3: Assemble your bed: Most beds are comprised of 4 main pieces, a headboard, foot board, rails and slats. Position the headboard at the head of the bed, the foot board at the foot of the bed, the rails go on the sides. The rails usually have hooks on each end make sure they are pointing in the downwards position. Then hook the rails into the headboard and foot board slots. Next you will have to nail/screw in the slats go lay across the bed horizontally. Tip: if the bed assembly kit did not come with enough sufficient support you might want to consider buying additional slats from wood that you can purchase at the local hardware store and cutting it to size.

Step 4: Place your mattress on top of the bed.

There you are, 4 simple steps to assemble your bedroom set. Now you are ready for a good nights rest!

We have finally gotten pictures of our trip to Las Vegas from our semi annual Las Vegas Market, one of the largest home furnishing shows in the world. MAF keeps up with the latest furniture industry trends by visiting trade shows semi annually and update our customers with the latest home fashions, fabrics, and designs. With over 1000 suppliers and manufacturers located under 3 large buildings it takes us an entire week to view the spectacle of the highly efficient, technologically advanced buildings. This year we even had a special guest, Rod Steward performed a free concert.



This year we noticed that trends are moving towards eco friendly furnishings with sustainable products from makers like "Vaughan Bassett", Khory, and even Modloft. For afford ability a product that made its big debut was "regenerated leather" which is a eco friendly solution to leather which is made from binding scraps of leather, with a small amount of rubber and finished with a polyurethane finish. It looks and feels more like leather than its close relative "bicast leather". Thats whats up with our planet news.

Furniture arrangement can improve mood

By Gigi R. Mann

A home is not a mere transient shelter: its essence lies in the personalities of the people who live in it.
H. L. Mencken
US editor (1880 - 1956)

Everything in your home environment impacts your daily life. The surroundings we live in reflect who we are as people.
Much like how our personal styles are reflected by the way we dress, a simple touch such as adding a belt to the outfit could make all the difference.
How we can enhance our surroundings by rearranging our furnitures or adding a mirror in the living room is not just interior design- it goes deeper than that.

Your living quarters is in many ways a visible transformation of your inner self, perhaps a metaphor of how your life is at any given moment. Ever feel in control when your desk is neat and organized, or frazzled when you're running out the door and can't seem to find where you've left your car keys? Everything in your home has an effect upon you, from the smallest hook on the wall, to the largest design furniture in the living room. While we can't always control the external factors in our daily lives, we can control our home surrounding by improving it with Feng Shui.

Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is a traditional Chinese knowledge that strive to achieve balance between good and bad energies. Translated as "wind and water," this philosophy has been practiced for thousands of years, and it has got its influences in America and around the world. Donald Trump has been noted to have consulted a Feng Shui specialist before building his extravagant Trump International Hotel in New York. Oprah Winfrey has also purportedly looked for guidance to help balance her energy flow.

This ancient knowledge has evolved from protecting people from harsh environmental conditions to perfecting one's home. Modern physics has a similar notion of believing all things contain their own energy. The basic idea of Feng Shui remains--- and that is to enhance the flow of life's force, also known as "Chi," to create balance and harmony.

By simply acknowledging a few tips and tricks, and making positive adjustments to your physical environment, Feng Shui can help you optimize your home and improve the way a place feels. The basic idea of energy flow is simple: imagine a flow of energy going through your home like a river, making sure to arrange the furnitures like so that the water keeps flowing around it and that it is not blocking the flow. You want the flow to continue at a rate that it can sustain itself, so the speed should neither be rushed (empty room) or becomes trapped (cluttered room). Just remember that the "Chi" entering your rooms through the passing spaces like windows and doors should flow freely like fresh air. By arranging your furnitures to keep the flow at a leisurely speed will provide comfort to your home.
