Bring on Spring!

April 8, 2022 by Stoney Creek Furniture

What are the signs of spring at your home? Some tell us they’ve already started their traditional routine of moving the furniture around for a deep dusting and a new look. A simple shift of sofa and chairs can add a fresh new look to your space. Rearranging the accessories can do wonders too. Add in a trip to local florist for some greenery or budding bulbs and call it spring!

NEW! Ember Sofa

Here at the store, spring planning usually starts 3-4 months in advance, but this one has been in the works since late summer. With the high demand for quality home furnishings, we knew we’d have to start sourcing our spring additions early in order to get them delivered in time. Fabulous new pieces are now flowing in, and we couldn’t be happier with what we see. Collections unique to our area have given the showroom renewed energy, and our Visual Team is busy arranging them into vibrant room displays that are sure to inspire you. And back up stock is ready to be delivered!

NEW Collection from Bermex

High Point Market

We’re also just back from our buying trip to High Point Market, where we always find the latest looks from around the world. With literally millions of square feet of showrooms to shop, the Market attracts the “best of the best” global designers and manufacturers, and we found some jaw-droppingly gorgeous collections that we can’t wait to share with you.

This year, we had a long list of requirements for the furniture we will order, including: optimal comfort and quality, sustainable elements and manufacturing practices, and, most importantly, good value for our customers.

Spring Styles

Today’s home styles and furniture design are shifting to an eclectic mix, where classic meets modern in a casual, comfortable way. If you do get a chance to come and see all that has arrived at the store this spring, we truly hope your takeaway is inspirational for your home. 

Outdoor Collection

Wishing all of you a wonderful spring.

Refreshing ways to add spring to your home

April 28, 2021 by Stoney Creek Furniture

Make a statement

Spring is the perfect time to clean, edit, and infuse your home with new vitality.

Accent pieces are an easy, budget-friendly way to energize the look and feel of any space. An eye-catching chair makes an instant statement and gives you extra seating when you need it. Accent chairs come in a wide range of styles, shapes, and colours. You’ll be amazed at the choice you have. 

The Fifi Chair

Keep clutter-free with style

Add a small chest in an entry hall for a stylish catch all. Cupboards and drawers will keep keys, purses and other accessories hidden and organized.  Consider using a dining console as a media unit. You’ll love the extra storage and, with so many stylish options, your room will feel elevated. 

Bent Sideboard

Out with heavy, in with light!

As we transition into spring and summer, the mood becomes light and airy. Make a seasonal swap of your dark-colored cushions and pillows for some bright, pretty patterned ones. Add a throw to a sofa or bed in lightweight fabrics like cotton-weave or linen. It’s a breath of fresh air.

The Elle Sofa

Don’t forget your floor…

Accent rugs can lift a room’s sprits from the ground up!  Create a new focal point with a bold or graphic pattern, or go minimal with a light, textured area rug for the summer months.

…and your walls!

Changing the art on your walls is easier and more effective than you may think. Colourful abstracts, gorgeous landscapes, even framed posters of your favourite films can add personality and punch to your home.

3 simple tricks to suit any budget

  • A fresh coat of paint on an accent wall or furniture piece does wonders for a room. Explore the palettes of clean crisp whites and trending colours – then have some fun with it. After all, it’s only paint.  
  • Bring the outdoors in with flowering plants and exotic succulents. Or treat yourself to a weekly bouquet of tulips, arranged in a special vase. 
  • Change up the lampshades on your favourite lamps for a totally different look!

No matter how you choose to refresh your home this spring, Stoney Creek Furniture experts are here to lend a hand. Even while our stores are temporarily closed, we’re available by online chat, email, and virtual appointment. We look forward to helping you accent your home beautifully!

Home sweet office, classroom, entertainment zone

February 12, 2021 by Stoney Creek Furniture

Rethinking the way our home functions may not have topped everyone’s priority list, but over the past year necessity has pushed it up for many 
of us.

Making zones work 

Kitchens have become classrooms, dining tables workstations, and bedroom corners mini gyms. While we’ve all done our best to adapt, 
many customers have reached out for help with these new “rezoning” challenges. 

As furniture experts, our job to find solutions that go beyond just finding a key piece. We want to offer you furniture that provide function, comfort, timeless design, and adds balance and calm to your home and that will enhance your life for many years.

Shop the Rollins Power Desk

Added functionality = added value

When we source product for our stores, the furniture must check off several boxes on our list. With our customer always top-of-mind, we look for quality and craftsmanship first, then multi-functionality and overall design. If a helpful design element is included in a piece – like a charging station on an arm of a sectional or a power source built right into the desktop – that represents added value for our customers.

Not surprisingly, we’re constantly increasing our home office and entertainment category to keep up with the demand. While we all work and nest at home, our customers need options and storage solutions and options to bring order to their belongings.

Get creative with your furniture

In good design, form should always follow function. A plain old T.V. stand can please some family members, but one that’s also beautiful pleases everyone.  

Hooker TV Console

If you’re using your dining or kitchen area for a work/school zone, and you have a little wiggle room, consider moving in a small chest of drawers or adding an accent piece with separate storage. Smaller pieces with individual drawers could be useful to divide up by family member. This can help everyone stay organized and prevent things going missing. If it’s a new piece that you love, later you can always move it to another spot later.

It’s really amazing how we can adapt and make the most out of our stay-at-home situations. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for help making things more functional or comfortable in your home. Our team specializes in finding ideal solutions with quality furnishings.

Best regards from our homes to yours.

A good night’s sleep is good for your health.

February 5, 2021 by Stoney Creek Furniture

We all know how great it feels to get a good night’s sleep, but what we may not know is how important sleep can be to our health and wellbeing. If you’ve ever played team sports, you can likely recall a coach telling you to get a good night’s sleep before the next day’s big game. Is there science to back up that advice? Turns out there is. 

In a recent Mayo Clinic article, “Lack of sleep: Can it make you sick?” Dr. Eric Olson tells us that a poor sleep can negatively affect the immune system. Not only can it make you more  vulnerable to getting sick, it can also affect your recovery time. 

We offer a large selection of Serta mattresses. Shop the collection at stoneycreekfurniture.com

Healing happens when you sleep

During sleep, your body releases proteins called cytokines, some of which promote sleep. Certain cytokines need to increase in order to fight off infection, inflammation, or when you are under stress. Not getting enough sleep may decrease production of these protective cytokines. Long-term, a lack of sleep can also increase your risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

2020 brought us all the additional stress of Covid-19, which looks like it’s going to continue well into 2021. Now, more than ever, it’s time to invest in a quality sleep set to help you achieve the healing sleep your body needs. 

What you sleep on matters

A good mattress relieves pressure points and decreases the need to toss and turn, which can disrupt sleep cycles and deprive you of the restful sleep you deserve. A properly fitted pillow, selected for the way you sleep (side, front, or back) will further enhance your ability to achieve the 7 to 8 hours of sleep suggested for adults each night. Studies show that your pillow actually contributes up to 30% of your overall sleeping comfort!
