How do I make a master bedroom look much more spacious? — G.S., MS
Simplify. Less furniture and clean lines will create breathing room. A collection like Firenze is a good solution. Horizontal bands give the illusion of a wider space while the low profile design actually makes the room look taller. You can try a variation of this trick by painting thick horizontal stripes on the wall.
We won't have space for a nightstand on each side of the bed but we both need a place for glasses, etc. Any suggestions? — H.A., SC
We have a handful of headboards with built-in storage. Our Midtown storage bed has cubbies with adjustable shelves and gliding doors, allowing you to decide what stays in and out of sight. Built-in outlets provide the perfect place to charge your cell.
All For One
It's natural to want to use smaller furniture in a small room, but that's not necessarily the best use of space. One large piece like this wall bed can do the work of a bed, chest and nightstands, leaving you with more floor space. Our Sonoma Valley wall bed features hidden compartments, jewelry trays, deep storage and charging stations.
Sleeper Savvy
Transform any space into a guest room with the help of one of our sleepers. Make your office or media room moonlight as a guest room with a sleeper sofa or sleeper chair. Choose from a range of styles, colors and sizes at havertys.com/sleepers to find the piece that best suits your space.
My daughter is moving from the dorm into her first apartment. It's a tight space. Would it look odd to buy a loveseat instead of a sofa? — S.M., TX
Take a peek at our Small Space Solutions for sofas specially designed to fit smaller spaces. A smaller-scale piece, like our Contempo sofa, will make the most use out of her space with it's 86" streamlined design. A loveseat alone could make the room look smaller, especially when she has company.
I have a long, narrow living room. It looks small and dark with only one large window. What type of sofa can I use? — L.P., TX
A light piece, like our smaller Santana sectional in stone, would open up your space. To balance out the large window, add the illusion of light. This bright white bookshelf does the trick by adding depth to the space and dividing the long wall into sections. Try a leaning floor mirror for the same effect.
