Making your home cozy doesn’t need to be limited to fall and winter. Cozy is more than faux fur blankets and candles; it’s creating spaces in your home that feel warm and inviting. Spaces that give you room to relax.

And, now more than ever, the bedroom is a perfect place to start. Your bedroom should be a space that nourishes you and allows you to fully relax at the end of the night and wake up feeling refreshed.

We put together a list of small and easy changes you can make to your bedroom to make it cozy and comfortable.

“Green furniture” has become an all-encompassing term to describe retailers and manufacturers that sell and sustainably produce furniture. In other words, furniture that’s both better for the environment and your home.

And as founding members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, it’s something we take very seriously. We partner with companies that use green practices whenever possible—from where they source their materials to how they manufacture their upholstery.

But what, exactly, does it mean for furniture to be green? We talked with Catherine to break down everything you need to know.

If you invest in vinyl then it only makes sense that eventually you’re going to need to invest in storage. We met up with Eric, our Marketing Coordinator and resident audiophile, to get his top picks for vinyl storage – from low-end to high-end.

Whether you’re just starting your collection and you’re looking for the most basic option or you want all the bells and whistles, we’ve created a curated list of the 7 best options.

When travel is limited (and even when it’s not!), a staycation allows you to appreciate where you are and take a break from work, life, and stress.

It might be a trendy name, but it just symbolizes slowing down, taking a minute, and planning activities that make you see your home in a different light. It doesn’t need to be fancy, and it doesn’t need to cost anything.

We talked to our store managers to get their favorite ideas on how to plan a staycation.

Lighting has a big effect on how you feel in your home. The effect may be more subtle than paint color or furniture but it makes the difference between a lackluster space and a lively one.

And besides setting the mood, the right light fixtures act as decorative and functional elements; completing a room while ensuring you can read your book without a flashlight.

We met up with Cindy, our Store Manager in Middleton, to get her advice on lighting your home.
