Good Afternoon!

The apartment that I will be moving into in just a couple of weeks isn't the most spacious of places. I plan on using a common and innovative technique to make my living area seem larger.

This will help give the room more added depth. This Baxton Studio Doniea Mirror is among hundreds of Affordable Modern Furniture pieces that we have in the warehouse and online.

Basic Anatomy of a Furniture Sale

One morning you are looking at your desk and thinking you have the worst home furniture possible. Your dresser is falling apart, your living room furniture looks like a dog ate half of it and almost ready to shove your dining room furnishings into your closet. Then, seemingly from the heavens, there is a voice from the television saying "up to 70% off room furniture, this weekend only!" and you think to yourself, wow, I could use some decorating ideas and maybe a new loveseat. You start dreaming about all of your bed furniture needs. You start mentally picturing a whole new living room. Before you know it, you have fallen for a furniture stores' advertisements.

Most furniture stores on line or in your city have the same age old sales tactics. Think about how often you buy furniture for living room, maybe once every five years will you replace your living room furnishings. So when it's time, it's important that the furniture stores are right in front of you, showing you their modern contemporary dining rooms furniture. That sale you see on TV or in the newspaper is actually running every single day, 365 days per year. The idea that there is this While supplies last sale on furniture and living room accessories only once per year creates a quick desire for you to not miss out on a special event, but we all know that's not true deep down but we still fall prey.

Some of the tactics I've seen have been phrased similar to "Fill all of your Chicago Furniture needs, this weekend only!" or "One day sale on a console table!" All of these are what advertisers call "calls to action." If you think your can get all of your furniture in bedroom needs fulfilled in a panic because you need to "get it before it's gone" then you might not know that stores typically have a huge warehouse full of "Low Price and Limited Quantities" furniture of bedroom sets within driving distance. A lot of times, the furniture of bedroom items that are on sale were just last year's items they needed to clean out.

To recap, if you are looking for furniture in living room move in quality, there's always a sale going on at every single furniture store that's out there. There typically is no rush to get there and you have plenty of time to shop around for the best city furniture possible.

History of Furniture in Chicago

Furniture manufacturing and sales contributed greatly to Chicago’s growth even in its early days. From the time of the railroad’s first connection to the city, lumber began to flow in and furniture began to flow out. And it was well designed and crafted furniture. Immigrants from Germany and Scandinavia—the world’s finest craftsmen—moved to the city and went quickly to work for Chicago furniture manufacturers. By the latter part of the nineteenth century many of these immigrants were becoming active in the growing labor movement. In fact, the furniture workers of German descent founded the first local labor union for American furniture workers. Chicago quickly grew to the forefront of unionization.

At the turn of the next century, there were more than one hundred furniture factories in the city. That doubled within ten years, putting people to work and building a healthy economy for what would become one of the largest cities in the country. Chicago furniture stores sprang up to sell the pieces created by all these workers and to service the growing populace. Many of those stores grew into large businesses that used the railroads and Great Lakes shipping companies to send their products all over the country. The city quickly became a national leader in the furniture industry, with the American Furniture Mart opening there in 1924. That market was instrumental in making the Midwest the largest producer of furniture in the nation.

But few things remain rosy forever, and the manufacture and sale of furniture in Chicago suffered like other industries when the Great Depression struck. Electrically-powered tools made furniture craftsmen almost obsolete as the factories that did survive could make do with fewer employees. Furniture manufacturers eventually made their way to other parts of the country where they could set up business with cheaper labor as well as take advantage of the developing overland trucking industry to distribute their goods.

But what goes around comes around. Today, more furniture stores in Chicago are beginning to acquire merchandise from local designers and manufacturers. Green and sustainable design has caught the attention of those who furnish homes and offices, leading to healthy growth in the area’s furniture industry once more. The internet allows local businesses to find the raw products needed to create unique designs as well as to market their furniture products around the world. Chicago’s future history and furniture are again in sync and going strong.

Chicago Furniture Adorns the World

Chicago furniture stores carry styles for every taste and pocketbook. But most of the customers who peruse their wares do not realize that many items carried in these stores are designed and manufactured right there in Chicago. Craftsmen and artists work in design shops and studios—even in home garages—around the city and its suburbs to create pieces of furniture that are stylish as well as functional. Local furniture makers then take those designs from drawing tables and prototypes to the living rooms of Illinois.

As well it should. Furniture design and manufacturing contributed to the growth of Chicago from its early days and into the twentieth century. Furniture remains a strong industry in the area even today as innovative design and marketing continue to contribute to Chicago’s reputation as an important center for furniture.

But Chicago furniture does not stop at the Illinois border. The Chicago Furniture Designers Association promotes the art of many of these creative local furniture designers and builders through periodic showcases that extend their influence outside the state. Members of this organization work together to share with each other information on new design and manufacturing techniques. They network and promote each others’ work. From there, Chicago furniture is often selected for shops, homes, and offices around America and even the world.

Tables made of burnished stainless steel, chairs molded out of colorful plastic, or headboards carved from the finest exotic woods—anything can spring from the minds of these local designers. Self-taught or university-trained, Chicago furniture makers provide the pieces that turn houses into homes. They supply sophisticated office suites to corporate conference rooms as well as simple utilitarian styling for home offices.

From solid traditional design to the most contemporary sustainable plan, furniture that was created in Chicago is appreciated in living rooms and conference rooms from one end of the planet to the other.

But nothing feels as good as seeing one’s creation on exhibit in the display windows of the furniture stores in Chicago…the furniture stores of home.

Furniture in Chicago, whether it is exhibited in a fancy showroom or a discount warehouse, should be a source of pride for the city’s citizens. Created by local sons and daughters, these pieces furnish the world. Whether they are inspired by mid-century masters of furniture making, the small designer under whom they apprentice, or their own imaginations, today’s Chicago furniture designers will serve as inspiration to tomorrow’s.

How to Shop for Furniture in Chicago

Everyone wants there home to look great. They want it to have appeal, pizzazz, and wow. This can be achieved in many different ways. A formal space can be created by using high-end furnishings and antiques; or, a person can show off there creative side by using an assortment of patterns and colors to create a unique and friendly environment. In fact, there are probably just as many different ways to design a room as there are people in the world.

The troubling part about interior design is that it can get a little bit on the pricey side. This is especially true when you live in a city like Chicago. Chicago furniture and Chicago furniture retailers pride themselves on providing top of the line and cutting edge products. While this focus on high-end quality may benefit the décor of the living room, it definitely does not benefit the checkbook.

Still, it should be noted that price does not necessarily always reflect quality, and that great bargains can still be found. Purchasing furniture in Chicago does not have to come at the expense of sacrificing you next meal. The key is to shop around. Do not visit just one shop. There are a variety of different furniture stores in Chicago, so utilize them all. While all this running a round may seem like a pain, it will be worth it in the end. You will find great bargains, as well as some unique furnishings.

Of course you do not have to confine yourself to all of the large name brand Chicago furniture stores. Antique dealers are a great way to find some really unique items. Also, do not let the word antique scare you. Antique does not always mean expensive. It sometimes just means quality. However, if you are really looking for some steals, try checking the local consignment shops. These are great places to find some real treasures and bargains. The best part about these shops is that you can often haggle over the price, and even get a better deal than the price that is marked.

Of course if you really want to make your search easy. Try using the internet. Just about every store, nowadays, has a website. This allows you to browse the inventory of hundreds, if not thousands, of local Chicago furniture retailers from the comfort of your own home. Instantly compare prices and find unique products with the push of only a few buttons.

Get Creative and Unique with Furniture in Chicago

Designing your home’s decor can sometimes be a daunting task. You want to create a place of style. You want to create a setting that illustrates your creativity and has the ability to make you guests say “wow.” However, at the same time, you want the furnishings to be functional. You do not want to create a museum; you are creating a living space. In essence, the home needs to be a place that is eye pleasing, but at the same time allows a person to comfortably live and grow.

In Chicago, many retailers specialize in providing just that. From modern to traditional, Chicago furniture stores try to provide something that will meet just about everyone’s taste. Large spaces that incorporate modern or contemporary pieces will focus on trying to create a friendly open and inviting tone. On the reverse side, more traditional rooms will want to focus on small details rather than solely on furnishings, this will ensure that you create a room that is not cluttered.

Of course, when designing a room in the city, the focus should not only be on Chicago furniture. Vases, pictures, art murals are welcome additions to just about any room’s décor. The key is to try to find pieces that complement one another. Loud patterns, colors, or styles that clash, just distract from the overall appeal of the room, creating a setting of chaos and disorder.

Sure, the weather in the city can get bad sometimes; however, this does not mean that furniture in Chicago is solely regulated to indoor use. If you have an open out door space, use it, even if it is just a small patio or fire escape. You will be surprised at how adding a piece of furniture or two to an outdoor area will encourage you to go outside. Let us be honest, sure the winter may be bad in Chicago, but there really is nothing like a nice Chicago summer afternoon. Therefore, decorate that outdoor space and use it.

In addition, just because it is a big city does not mean that every store is expensive. There is a wide variety of furniture stores in Chicago, ranging from the relatively cheap to the exotic and expensive. The key is to shop around. Look at multiple stores. There is probably not just one store that will fit your tastes and your budget. Mix it up. In fact, if you truly shop around, you will be sure to create a look and design that is one hundred percent unique and creative.
