Health Benefits of Owning a Recliner

Rockridge Furniture May 8, 2019

Recliners add a next level of comfort in your home. From the living room, to the game room, to the nursery, or even to the bedroom, there are many places that can benefit from having a recliner. Owning a recliner not only encourages relaxation, but using a recliner also has a few health benefits. Here are the important health benefits to owning a recliner:

Improves Circulation

At the end of the day, relaxing on a recliner actually improves blood circulation. Swollen legs and feet are caused by poor body circulation, clogged veins are caused from standing or sitting for long periods of time. By elevating your legs and feet on a recliner, your body circulation is naturally redirected, helping blood flow.

Back Pain Relief

You can take the pressure off your back muscles by laying on a recliner. Your back muscles are sore because they are constantly balancing your upper and lower body. On a recliner, you can recline and elevate your feet, which will take the pressure off your spine. Elevating your feet also sends blood to your back muscles and tendons.

Breathe Easier

Taking a nap on your recliner can help you breathe easier! Sleeping in an upright position on a recliner opens up your diaphragm, helping you breathe easier. It also decreases stomach acid reflux by gravity keeping the acid down.

Encourages Relaxation

Owning a recliner encourages you to sit back, kick up your feet, and relax. By reclining, you are giving your body a chance to heal, recharging your nervous system and body circulation.

Customized Comfort

There are a variety of positions that you can choose on a recliner. The ability to customize comfort to your specific needs is one of the best reasons to own a recliner. Let’s face it, sometimes a stationary accent chair isn’t enough.

Design Tips: Which Rug Material is Right for You?

Rockridge Furniture May 1, 2019

Rugs come in all types of materials. Here at Rockridge Furniture & Design, we always get asked by our customers which material is the right choice for their home. You’re in luck! We listed the 5 most popular rug materials and their benefits.

Silk

For an elegant look and a sophisticated feel, silk rugs are your best choice. They bring on a stylish and dramatic design to any room. We suggest placing a silk rug in a low traffic area to avoid any spills or shoe tracks on the delicate material and because they require a professional clean only.

Viscose

You can buy a rug that looks and feels like silk, without putting a dent in your wallet. Viscose mimics silk’s sleek shine and lavish style, creating a luxurious space. To keep the quality of the viscose rug, you should also keep it in a low traffic area to preserve their shiny fibers and soft touch.

Wool

Wool rugs are great if you have kids, pets, parties, or all of the above.

Well-made wool rugs have a natural ability to resist staining and soiling. The sheep’s natural oils repel water, dust, and dirt. Plus they are soft and cushy to the touch, so please barefoot only!

Polypropylene

For a more affordable alternative to a wool rug, a polypropylene rug is your next best choice. It’s durable and easy to clean. They can also be used outdoors!

Cotton

In a casual, laid-back room, a cotton rug is a great piece because they are budget-friendly, reliable, and most are reversible. If you’re going for a natural and bohemian look, a cotton rug will work well in the space. Don’t forget to add a rug pad underneath to insure that it stays in its’ place.

Skirted

Skirted slipcovers are more casual and relaxed. Also, depending on the material of the fabric, they can help make a room feel and look more cozy. They can look traditional or fit perfectly in a farmhouse designed home.

Design Tips: Freshen Up for the Spring Time

Rockridge Furniture February 19, 2019

Spring is just around the corner and we want to help you welcome in the sunshine! Spring is the time for growth and renewal and what better way to start in your home? Here are a few simple design tips to freshen up your home:

Accessories

Changing the small things can go a long way. An easy and affordable way to liven up your home for the springtime is to switch up the covers on your toss pillows and throw blankets. Replace them with lighter and brighter fabrics. If you love patterns, this is the best time for fun flower or other nature-inspired fabrics!

De-clutter and reorganize your coffee table and fireplace mantel. Freshen it up with colorful, glass vases with blooming flowers and change up your coffee table books.

Window Treatments

The sun will be shining more (Finally!) and you’ll want to clean the outside and the inside of your windows, so your home can soak in as much sunlight as possible. If you have heavy drapes on your windows, replace them with light and airy ones.

Put Some Pep in Your Step

Changing or adding a new rug is the easiest way to bring in new colors and textures into your home. Rugs are a great way to brighten up your space, while also creating a sense of comfort.

Re-Paint a Room or Two

If you have a specific room that needs more than an accessory update, take this opportunity to start from scratch and repaint the space. Repainting an entire room can be very refreshing! Paint it a new color or just a lighter shade of your current color. You will love the difference this makes.

Tackle Your Closet

Nothing says springtime than an updated and refreshed closet! Give your closet the makeover it deserves. Besides organizing your closet, if you have a walk-in closet, update your light fixture to something more glamorous or add fun wallpaper. Incorporating new storage, like boxes or shelves, or just making sure you have nice, uniformed hangers can make a huge difference in your closet.

Design Tips: The Minimalist Bedroom

Rockridge Furniture February 11, 2019

Sometimes a cluttered and messy bedroom can leave you lying awake at night. A minimalist bedroom helps ease you into relaxation and can even guide you into that moment of zen. Here are a few tips to help get you started:

Storage

If you want to provoke a simple, minimalist bedroom you have to de-clutter your space. Storage, whether it’s a drawer in your nightstand or a decorative box or basket, it helps eliminate the messy look when you have too many trinkets.

Select Decor Only

Make a big impact with select decor items, like art or a light fixture. Keep the bed, the rug, and the nightstands simple in design. This way your bedroom won’t be an overwhelming space that may keep your senses awake at night.

Muted Color Palette

For a serene environment, stay with a muted color palette with hints of white. Keep a variety of shades to a minimum. Busy colors means a busy mind, but if you like bold colors, stick to one area and not scattered.

Linens

Bed linen is the star of the show when it comes to minimalism. If you want to keep it simple, stick to one solid neutral color. If you rather have patterns, keep the colors to a minimum and choose solid clean lines, like a geometric pattern. Don’t clutter your bed with accent pillows that will eventually end up on the floor, stick to one accent pillow and one throw blanket.

A Large Solid Color Rug

A large solid color rug anchors the bed, while grounding the space and eliminating the cluttered look.
