Surplus Furniture - Mobile Flyers!

For those of us with mobile phones, it's not surprising to hear that mobile phones have overtaken desktop computers when it comes to web traffic (according to ComScore). This stat certainly isn't a surprise for retailers, as they have watched their mobile web traffic increase month over month, year over year. Google has even responded by implementing harsher SEO rankings, favoring mobile friendly websites. So how have companies responded to this changing landscape?

For most retailers, this means a duo world for advertising, print and mobile. Nielsen study shows 79% of households browse digital flyers and print flyers each week. So consumers are immersed in both. IKEA for instance, has extended their flyer to mobile, while maintaining the same print levels year over year. London Drugs has also transitioned to a mobile flyer, while maintaining the same flyer quantities year over year. Surplus Furniture

When you are planning to host more than a handful of people in your house, it is always better to have additional seating. This is where accent chairs come into play. These are simple chairs that are placed in a room in a strategic position to offer more seating. There are two ways you can utilize an accent chair. You can either create a secondary seating space within the living room, or position the chair in such a way that it complements the textures and colours of larger pieces of furniture, like a sofa. Accent chairs come in a wide range of designs. It can be a large piece, like a chaise lounge, or a simple straight back chair with arms, like a rocking chair. The most important thing is that the chairs work with the rest of the furniture in the room harmoniously to provide extra seating. The living room is a very good example of where accent chairs

A headboard makes it obvious that some effort has gone into the design of the room instead of various pieces of furniture haphazardly thrown together.

To work well as a visual focus, a headboard must not only look good, it must also fit within the context of the room. An ultra-modern headboard would clash with otherwise antique and romantic decor. Most broad design schemes include a choice of colours. The colour of a headboard can either match the colour

A bar stool is a type of tall chair, often with a foot rest to support the feet. The height and narrowness of a bar stool makes them suitable for use at bars and high tables in pubs or bars. Since 2010, bar stools have been becoming more popular in homes, usually placed at the kitchen counter or at a home bar. Bar stools are becoming more popular in homes because they are available in varied styles. As well, bar stools allow for a higher view when eating, drinking, or socializing.

With busy lives full of family, friends and work, our bedroom is oftentimes the place we go to relax and escape everyday life. When done right, bedrooms should be stress-free private sanctuaries full of soothing colours, comfortable bedding and plush pillows. 

Setting that tone is often a challenge, especially when kids often take precedence, but a quick makeover can easily transition even the most in-need space. Bedroom designs are extremely personal, making them among the most difficult spaces to decorate.
