How Better Furniture Can Make Work From Home Work For You

If you’re among the millions who are new to working from home, you’re probably dealing with some unfamiliar and, perhaps, frustrating feelings. There’s a reason for that. Our brains have a “work” setting and a “home” setting. At work we are conditioned for structure. We are focused on tasks, alert to coworkers and bosses, roles and responsibilities, proper language and behaviors. Home is, well, not that rigid. Our brains aren’t exactly sure how to process the new workplace. Fo ....

Willis Designer Spotlight: Kelly Baumgarten

“Every great design begins with an even better story.” - Lorinda Mamo When I first started brainstorming my ideas for this room, I knew that I wanted to portray my style as well as tell a story. What inspires me is finding peace in the beauty of nature and the fantasy of a good book. The story of this room tells a tale of a quaint cottage in the forest where one can escape in the adventure of a good book, the quietness of the trees, or the magic of the pond that is in a clearing just beyo ....

The Flexsteel Difference

What’s Inside Matters Before you buy a car, you probably pop the hood, take a peek, and ask a few questions even if you have no idea what you’re looking for. When it comes to buying a sofa you likely take a different approach—choose one that matches your style and provides a soft place to land after a long day. But what about everything you can’t see? Do you ask how it’s built, what it’s made of, or how you can be sure it will last? Flexsteel furniture is made with integrity from ....

The Evolution of Dining

Fall is the best season to make your space a perfect place for relaxation and sheltering or to enhance your decor for receptions with family and friends over the coming months. Like many families, our memories were shaped around a table with moments of laughter, lively discussions, tasty meals, and games of all kinds in good company. The table is at the heart of the home, from the daily routine with the children to the biggest celebrations with friends and family. Over the years a lot has ....

The Rug Is the Foundation

Rugs are a great way to start any interior design project.  They make decorating easy and help to inform what steps need to be taken next.  When coordinating rugs, fabric patterns, and colors, the elements should be balanced just like in a painting.  It’s so easy to tweak the other choices in the room to fit the rug, but finding a perfect rug after furniture, soft goods, and paint colors are set is going to take a lot more time. A rug makes a room feel complete, providing a cohesivene ....
