The following are some modern dining room furniture ideas to consider.

Black and white

Your dining room table and chairs don’t have to feature a traditional wood finish. In fact, you might want to consider the simple and modern sleekness of a black and white design. Warehouse Showrooms offers custom black and white finishes on  dining room tables and chair sets. This uniquely modern design scheme allows you to take full advantage of contrast which peaks interest and drama!

Clipped corners

These days, you are not limited to either a rectangular or circular dining room table. In fact, there are all sorts of dining room table shapes to consider when looking for good dining room furniture ideas.

One great option is the clipped corners look. In addition to being unique and visually interesting, clipped corners are also often safer than rectangular tables with sharp corners. This is especially helpful for households with young children.

Stylized table designs

You’re missing out if you’re not exploring all the possibilities of bold, stylized table designs like that which is offered in the Rectangular Table Top dining room table from Warehouse Showrooms.

This table’s design is memorable and unique. The table has a design that is in some ways simplified by how rectangular it is. At the same time, the table also offers some unique diagonals and also a boldly dark color so that it will stand out strongly in any dining room. Dining tables made from these materials are some of the most unique and striking out on the market today.

Metal table tops

One great way to make a dining room look super unique and modern is to choose a metal table top. There are numerous metal materials that can be used to create an industrial, warehouse style dining table. Some of the metals that look the best when used as a table top material are hammered copper and zinc.

Ornate table legs

Fabric seating materials

If you’re looking for the right dining chairs, it’s a good idea to consider fabric seating possibilities. Dining room chairs that are covered with fabric are not only attractive visually, but they also tend to be soft and comfortable for diners.

Fold out leaves

It’s a pretty popular theme among dining room furniture ideas nowadays to optimize space. One of the best ways you can do that in a dining room is with a dining room table that has fold out leaves to expand the dining space.

If you’re going to be hosting for the holidays, you need to have appropriate table styling to create a good holiday atmosphere. You can style your dining room tables for the holidays in a variety of ways.

There are numerous accessories you need for your table and dining room chairs to style effectively for the holidays. The following are four things you can use to style your dining room furniture for Thanksgiving and the entire holiday season:

Dishes

Having a set of holiday dishes is a good idea. Holiday dish sets can be used to set the mood at the table. Special holiday dishes immediately highlight the holiday season at a dining room table and enhance the festive look of an entire dining room. You should shop around for a holiday theme dining set that is appropriate for conveniently serving the types of foods you typically serve for the Thanksgiving and winter holidays.

Tablecloths and napkins

Holiday tablecloths are important for further styling a dining room table for the holiday season. Tablecloths can show holiday colors and imagery. They also protect your dining room table from becoming blemished from spills and food crumbs being pressed onto the table surface.

In addition to a good holiday tablecloth, you should also choose a set of fabric napkins that are appropriately styled for the holidays. It’s a good idea to invest in cloth napkins for the holiday because cloth napkins are an important decor accessory for special events like holiday hosting.

Centerpieces

A holiday table setting is not complete without an eye-catching centerpiece. Holiday centerpieces typically include things like pine tree branches, pine cones, ribbon, candles, and ornaments. Centerpieces are important holiday dining decor accents that allow a dining room table to look more festive and welcoming.

Cushions

You can add holiday seat cushions to put on dining room chairs that feature holiday colors. Seat cushions are great for not only making a dining room look more festive, but also increasing the comfort provided by the chairs in your dining room. There are many holiday seat cushion designs you can choose from to complete the look of your dining room this holiday season.

Before you decide upon a particular cushion design, it’s always a good idea to consider how well the design of a particular cushion matches up with the design of your dishes, tablecloth, and centerpiece. All of the different styling accessories in your dining room need to match up well to create an appealing look on your interiors when you host this holiday season.

The best way to find the right dining room table and other dining room furniture for hosting this holiday season is to visit our showroom to find the size and style of table that’s ideal for your household.

Increase your productivity with the latest home office furniture options. A tired saggy chair may be a favorite, but consider how your back feels after sitting for a couple of hours. Upgrading can also improve your mental clarity with those mundane tasks by adding inspiration through style. Find out what you are missing in features that will make your home office more satisfying and productive.

Updated Office Furniture

Notice how slim and compact many of the computer desks have become. 30 years ago there had to be space for a tower, a massive monitor and a keyboard. Today, a 60-inch x 24-inch office desk will usually suffice for a laptop and numerous cubby holes for papers and supplies.  Large or double screens do not need the depth once required for huge CRTs.  Home office furniture can take up less space in a home office, giving you multiple choices on where to set up shop.

Furniture Made for Comfort

Ergonomics became popular in America in 1997. Originating from the Greek word ergon (to work or labor) and nomos (natural laws), this association between comfort and production was already commonplace throughout the world. Office chairs now put emphasis on protecting joints and muscles from hours of sitting. Swivel chairs are easier to move about a desk space and many are equipped with height levers. New desks and chairs are now made with the human element of good posture and production in mind.

Better Storage Solutions

File your important papers away in tables with fitted drawers or file cabinets beneath. Simple and transitional in use, tables can be used to sort papers, brainstorm with associates or organize a project. Bookcases and cabinets come in assorted styles with lineal shelves or locking doors. Redesigned for limited space, storage home office furniture comes in all types of styles and sizes.

Allow Natural Light

Remember the old computer desks that surrounded you with partitions and upper doors? They also shut off much-needed natural sunlight for helping to keep a positive attitude. Move your upgraded home office furniture to a space where sunshine is able to stream into the room. Today’s models are more open and appealing than closed-in office desk sets of yesterday. Natural light will improve your health, your mood and get those creative senses flowing.

Choose a style of home office furniture that enhances your personality and brings a sense of well-being to your day. Smooth surfaces are important, as are quality materials.  Older office furniture may have nicks and bumps that are forever disrupting your work. Visit our showroom for ideas on how home office furniture has changed over the past 3 decades. Follow the trend by upgrading your home office today with furniture that delivers better solutions to your daily tasks.

Creating the bedroom of your dreams doesn’t have to be an unattainable goal.  With key pieces in the styles that you prefer, you are well on your way to a blissfully relaxing bedroom.  With bedding and accessories, you’ll personalize your space to reflect your personality and taste.  This bedroom furniture buying guide will help you jump start your efforts to update or restyle your bedroom.

Beds and Headboards

Sometimes, all it takes to change up a room is to change the bedding.  A new duvet can add color and pattern in a bedroom that needs good refresh.  When this just won’t do, start by adding a new bed.  This one, Gat Creek Bedroom Evelyn Storage Bed – Queen, has a slat back and clean lines.  It is available in cherry or maple finishes.  For additional, convenient storage, this bed has two sizeable drawers on each side.  The soft closing drawers are on glides that are undermounted for quiet, smooth operation.

Tables

Bedrooms also need tables.  Some people like to have a small area with an easy chair where they can have coffee in the morning or watch tv at night.  This can be a small glass or wooden coffee table.  You’ll also need nightstands beside the bed for books and personal items.  This nightstand, Sparrowood Living Room Contemporary Phone Stand / Nightstand / Console, is a perfect example to use as a guide.

Chests

While bedrooms are spaces for relaxation, they also need storage.  An elegant wood chest-of-drawers can warm up a space and make it feel comfy.  This chest, Gat Creek Bedroom Vineyard II High Chest 82303 at Warehouse Showrooms, provides enough storage space for a couple.  Its clean lines and fine craftsmanship let the eye enjoy the structure to shine through.  Each chest-of-drawers is available in a cherry or maple finish with burnished nickel or brass hardware.  They also have 58 paint colors that the chest can be finished in.

Armoires

While bedrooms need storage solutions, that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be stylish, too.  Armoires lend a touch of elegance and old world charm to any bedroom.  Today, they have innovative storage solutions that make them a necessary addition to any bedroom.  The Yutzy Woodworking Bedroom Legacy Armoire is a good example of a storage piece that also brings style and luxury to a room.  The combination of shelving and multiple drawers (with dovetail joinery!) gives you room to store everything.  This piece is customizable in a variety of finishes including oak, maple, rustic cherry, cherry, or quarter sawn oak.   If you would like, hickory, hard maple, or walnut finishes are also available upon request.

To create the perfect bedroom, come into the store at Warehouse Showrooms.  Our knowledgeable staff can help you put together the ideal pieces for unbeatable prices!  Just stop in to leisurely peruse the selections then have it quickly delivered to start enjoying it.  Your ideal bedroom shouldn’t be just a dream.  Make it a reality at Warehouse Showrooms!

Your dining room is where life happens!  It’s where family and friends gather for big holidays or weekend meals.  It’s also where kids lay out big projects and ideas bloom.  With so much life happening in one room, your dining room furniture needs to be in a functional and elegant space that expresses your personality and makes everyone feel welcomed.  There are a few furniture pieces that makes all of this happen.

Dining Table

The choice of a dining table is a matter of personal preference.  Select from formal rectangular tables or cozy rounds.  You also have the option of tables that expand with additional leaves.  This give you the opportunity to have the table suit the number of people that you will be seating for dinner.  The Gat Creek Dining Room Mission 54” Round Table with Two 12” Leaves is perfect for an intimate meal or expanded for a family meal.  Gather around this classic Arts and Crafts style table for a meal and an evening of enjoying each other’s company.  Beautifully crafted in wood, this piece is available in cherry or maple wood finish.  It is also available in 58 different paint colors to coordinate with the other pieces in the room.


Cabinets

Every piece of dining room furniture needs some storage.  Cabinets and sideboards are the perfect way to add storage while also adding additional serving space.  While you may include a china cabinet to store serving pieces when not in use, they are also a beautiful way to display china pieces and add visual interest to the room.  Another option is a corner cabinets like the Gat Creek Dining Room Chase Corner Cabinet.  Corner cabinets like this are especially nice in smaller dining rooms as they make effective use in an unused space – the corner.  This cabinet is available in cherry or maple wood finish.  You can customize the piece with either polished nickel or burnished brass hardware.


Chairs

Selecting chairs for a dining room can be a little difficult at times.  You need chairs that are comfortable but also stylish.  They also need to coordinate with the dining room table and the other pieces in the room.  The Gat Creek Dining Room La Croix Side Chair with Fabric Seat is a good option.  The seating is comfortable and the dark wood looks good in almost any dining room.  The fabric seat also gives you many design options.  While it comes with a yellow fabric seat, these can be customized using any fabric.  This allows you to introduce more color and texture into the small.  This makes a room feel welcoming.

That’s usually when we tell them they are in luck because they are in the best Amish furniture store in Alexandria, VA. And when it comes to furniture, Amish-made makes the difference!

Wondering what makes this furniture so special? Keep reading to discover the answer!

High-Quality Wood

If you truly want the best furniture, then such furniture needs to be made of the best materials, and that’s where Amish furniture really shines! The Amish make furniture out of solid wood. That means that everything is 100% authentic: no wood substitutes are used in the making of this furniture.

That adds to the durability and quality of your furniture. At the end of the day, solid wood will always last longer than alternatives such as flimsy particle board. If you want quality furniture, then you want quality wood crafted by Amish artisans!

Durable Joints

Long-lasting furniture is about more than just quality materials, though. It also matters how well these quality materials are put together!

Most furniture is held together by nails, screws, and staples. Over time, these individual components may fail and cause the furniture to become uncomfortable and even downright dangerous. When you come to the Amish furniture store in Alexandria, VA, you’ll discover another Amish secret. Specifically, their furniture is almost never made with nails or screws.

Instead, they combine simple wood glue with centuries-old techniques of joining wood together. The final result is that the finished product is much sturdier– great news for anyone who buys it!

Special Tools

The tools are just as important as the talent when it comes to crafting awesome furniture. And the Amish have some really awesome tools!

Instead of standard electric power tools, the Amish have special pneumatic tools that are powered by compressed air. This means that they take more time and pay more attention when it comes to every piece of wood that goes into your furniture. And given a choice, the answer is clear: pretty much everyone would rather have furniture where someone took their time making it instead of rushing through.

Family Secret

We talk a lot about how Amish furniture is higher quality than anything else. But have you ever wondered why this is?

Many Amish families have been making furniture for a long time. How long? We’re talking centuries! This has given families hundreds of years to develop their techniques for creating amazing furniture. That means you’re buying more than an awesome product: You’re buying a piece of history!

At Warehouse Showrooms, we live by a simple philosophy. The furniture in your home is not simply another possession: instead, it represents the core of who you are and how you present yourself to the world. We have always relied on the best American craftsmen available (the Amish) to build our furniture. Our furniture will last for generations. Below are the factors that make furniture last.  

The Wood

Our furniture builders use solid kiln-dried wood in the manufacturing process of all their goods. There is no particle board, no fiberboard, LDF, MDF (low and or medium-density fiberboard), or other “man-made wood” used in the building of our furniture. No overseas or rainforest trees are used either since America is home to high-quality hardwoods that are great for furniture manufacturing. Many of our builders replant trees as well. Lately, some impressive reclaimed wood from barns has been added to our lineup. The majority of our furniture is made by Amish craftsmen. Be secure knowing our furniture has none of the aromatic hydrocarbon off-gassing problems that imported “fake wood” furniture can have. In fact, our solid wood furniture has a subtle and pleasant natural wood aroma.  Modern sharp-cutting edges have made precision cuts easier and more reliable as well.

      

 The Adhesives

Our craftsmen are using today’s latest glues that are much stronger than in the past. Our furniture builders are mostly Amish, which means every time the furniture is built to higher standards, essentially built to last generations. Today’s adhesives will last generations longer than glues from even 40 years ago. Built to hold up to today’s more mobile households and more frequent physical moves, our quality holds up to these uses.


The Joinery

All of our wood tops use extra inserted wood “biscuits” and/or dowels to add strength and longevity to each item. This allows extra surface area for each board when joining them together and improves the overall stability of each surface against warping stresses. All Drawers use dovetails, which are physically interlocking joints that have interleaving trapezoidal shaped pins that increase tensile strength. tremendously. All of our doors use mortise and tenon joints which look good and add strength as well.  

The Finishes

Today’s catalyzed finishes are optimized for spill resistance. Be secure knowing the solid hardwood furniture you purchased here has cross-linked polymer chain finishes that are stronger than other finishes on the market.  

The Hardware

Every drawer in the showroom uses modern steel ball-bearing drawer glides. These are vastly superior to the wood slides used the last hundreds of years. The smoothness gives each drawer a more solid satisfying action and is not likely to ever break or squeak. American-made screws and hinges, handles and knobs are used.

So the checklist is : Solid American Hardwoods, the latest glues, superior joinery, super strong finishes, and the hardware.  Remember, Quality furniture has never been built as well as it is today. Another reason why we’re always in a good mood! Experience the Difference We believe that Warehouse Showrooms is one of the best quality furniture stores available. For you to believe it, too, there is no substitute for experience! While we deliver to customers all over the world, we invite everyone to visit our store. One look at our amazing wooden furniture and you will never want to buy anything else. We also have terrific sofas and as for comfort, we have a motto in the furniture world: sitting is believing.

We’ve been here for 39 years now and have seen most furniture companies here at Warehouse Showrooms, we pay a lot of attention to what our customers want. And every day, many of our customers say the same thing: “I want the ‘wow’ factor.”

For them, furniture isn’t just about having a comfortable chair or a functional cabinet. Instead, they want the kind of furniture that instantly impresses any and all of their guests and lasts for generations.

So when customers tell us they want the wow factor, we tell them they need to check out our Amish Furniture. Why is that? Because Amish furniture in Virginia will completely change how you see furniture!

Made in America

Nowadays, “Made in America” means more than it ever has before. Why is this? Because most people settle for mass-produced furniture that is made overseas.

Why do they do this? Usually, it’s to try to “find a good deal.” But when that furniture is ugly and quickly falls apart, they learn that you really do get what you pay for.

With Amish furniture in Virginia, you are getting hand-crafted furniture that is made in America. That means it is made to the highest standards and made to last, unlike cheap, mass-produced pieces.

Centuries of Quality

With furniture companies, customers like to see how long the company has been in business. Why is this? It’s because companies that have been in business for a long time have been able to perfect their craft.

In the case of Amish furniture, many of these families have been producing quality furniture for centuries. And that means entire generations of their family have helped refine their skills as artisans.

No mass-production furniture brand can compete with these long years of dedication and quality. When you buy Amish furniture in Virginia, you know that you are buying from the very best!

The Handcrafted Difference

The real secret of Amish furniture is that it is handcrafted. And when it comes to furniture, this makes all the difference in the world!

And you don’t need to be a furniture expert to understand this. Handcrafted jewelry, hand-made t-shirts, hand-painted art…on a basic level, we understand that handmade works are better than anything mass-produced. That’s because you are buying from a skilled artist who has taken the time and used all of their skills to bring their inner vision to life.

That’s why we tell our customers that these aren’t just bits of furniture. Instead, these are investments in something truly special. Just as you would pass the very best jewelry on to members of your family, our Amish furniture made in Virginia will instantly become a family heirloom you will want to pass on. And with quality this high, the furniture will still have that “wow” factor for decades to come.
