What’s soothing, splendid and chic all year round? Here’s a clue: it’s the color blue. Imagine that feeling you get from looking into a sparkling blue pool or into the clear blue sky. Now imagine having that same feeling when you walk into your living room or bedroom. That’d be awesome, right? Well, we can you have you seeing blue in no time. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer subtle touches of color here and there or big splashes of color everywhere. You can start with a light, neutral palette like the Ashley collection featured below, and enhance it with blue pillows, wall décor or a blue upholstered chair.

If you want to take it to the next level and create an ultra-blue haven, be sure to start with an accessories  blueprint. Leave nothing untouched by the color blue. Try hanging a painted canvas on the wall to declare your love for the calming hue. Then, include an aqua blue rug on the floor and adorn your table tops with cool blue glass vases.  Your space will be screaming, “I’ve got the blues, and if there’s a cure for it, I don’t want it!”

Does blue remind you of something or someone you love? How do you like to incorporate blue into your design?

You probably have a sofa sitting somewhere in your home. But what’s the deal with sectionals?

The piece started showing up in homes during the Victorian Era and was usually made of two or more sofas that were pushed together to make a larger sofa. The sectional got a makeover in the 1950s, displaying the sleek low profile design that we see in mid-century modern furniture today. Since then, the addition of chaises, cup holders, power reclining seats and more have been introduced (we know football-watchers everywhere are praising these add-ons!).

The best thing about sectionals? They can be customized to let you express your one-of-a-kind style. You can choose which side the chaise goes on, if you want a chaise at all, what type of arms you like…you get the idea.

Another option for customizing your sectional is by adding an ottoman, or several! With a sectional like our Piedmont (below), you can use interchangeable cube ottomans in different color options. Or go with one large cocktail ottoman with a serving tray on top instead of a traditional cocktail table.

Speaking of tables, every sectional needs a few side tables for those refreshing cocktails, yummy bowls of popcorn, your Kindle or just a decorative vase.

Did you know we had our own museum too? We’re quite the historians here at Havertys, and we have an impressive collection of artifacts and photography that highlight our favorite times as a company and even our brush with royalty. That’s right – we have an invoice written to the King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley. Tour our online museum to see it. Enjoy the tour!

Ever get the case of “the yawns?” Around 2:30 in the afternoon? Yep, sounds familiar. Well you’ve come to the right place! It’s possible all that yawning could be coming from less than perfect sleep on your current mattress. If you visit your local store, you’ll see our mattress experts are skilled in finding the perfect mattress for your particular sleep style.

See what we mean!

It’s always helpful to let the mattress expert know what may currently be keeping you from sleeping soundly (aches and pains, tossing and turning, etc.). But make sure to let them know what you like about your current mattress, too!
