Make the most of the season by following these simple guidelines

chron • June 11, 2020

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.


Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.


Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.


Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.

Your bedroom is supposed to be a sanctuary where you feel safe and comfortable. But, when your bedroom isn’t furnished or set up properly, it might instead feel a little “meh.” While there isn’t anything inherently wrong with a “meh” bedroom, wouldn’t you much rather create a sanctuary and safe haven where you can go to unwind and catch a few Zs? In today’s home furniture blog at Nice Furniture in Houston, we’re providing you with helpful tips for furnishing and creating the ideal bedroom for you. Keep reading to learn more or stop by either of our two Nice Furniture locations (Houston and Humble) today to check out our home furniture selection for yourself! Mattress Size One of the first and most impactful pieces of home furniture you should invest in for your bedroom is a proper-sized mattress. If you sleep solo, a queen-sized mattress should do you just fine. It’ll have plenty of space for you to sprawl out and get comfortable, no matter how askew your sleep position is. However, if you sleep with a partner, a queen may no longer be the best option. If you and your partner are sharing a queen-sized bed and are perfectly content, more power to you! But we find that in most cases, partners greatly prefer a king-sized bed so that they both have the adequate space they need for a restful night’s sleep. No more getting woken up with an “accidental” hit in the face! Dressers The next tip our team at Nice Furniture in Houston has for furnishing your bedroom is to find the right dresser. When choosing the right dresser, there are a few things you should consider. You’ll want to make sure the orientation complements your space. A taller, thinner dresser may be ideal if you are putting it on a taller, thinner wall. Or conversely, if your dresser is being placed on a longer wall, a shorter, wider dresser may be a more appropriate home furniture selection. Additionally, you’ll want to consider the function and aesthetics. Is it well-made? Do you like it? Does it match the rest of your bedroom home furniture? These are all great questions to ask yourself when looking for a dresser. You should also make sure that the dresser you select will meet your needs. While a certain dresser may look “cute as a button”, it won’t matter if it can’t hold all the clothing you need it to! Seating While seating home furniture in your bedroom is optional and could be considered a luxury, seating is well worth it if you have space in your bedroom. The bedroom is where you get ready for your day. And, sometimes it’s nice to be able to take a seat for whatever reasons — putting on your shoes, mentally preparing yourself for the day, whatever it may be. Having a chair or at the very least a nice bench or stool at the foot of your bed can be a welcome touch that makes a world of difference in your daily routine. When your bedroom is missing that little something, try adding home furniture like seating. It could just be the piece it was missing all along. Vanities/Mirrors Speaking of the bedroom being the place you get ready for the day, seating isn’t the only home furniture that can improve your routine. Vanities and mirrors are perfect for confirming that you look your best. Sure, you could always go into the bathroom and have a look in the mirror. But, in most cases, that mirror isn’t full-length and the lighting probably isn’t ideal. Having a nice mirror and vanity in your bedroom to help you get ready in the morning or unwind in the evening can make for a fantastic addition to your bedroom home furniture setup. Storage We can’t speak for everyone, but at Nice Furniture in Houston, we personally can’t stand cluttered spaces. We very much like for things to be tidy and for everything to have its own space. That’s why our next tip for furnishing your bedroom is to ensure that you have plenty of storage options. Chests and armoires can act as stunning decorative pieces and give you a place to stow away items. But you don’t necessarily need a chest or armoires to store things. In some cases, having a high enough bed can provide you plenty of space to tuck away and tidy up the clutter in your bedroom. Duvets and Accessories Our last home furniture tip for today is: accessorize! The best way to feel comfortable in your own bedroom is to make it feel like your own bedroom. This will be different from person to person, but it’s important to find duvets, picture frames, paint colors, knick-knacks, and anything else you love within the walls of your bedroom. There’s a huge difference between a room with white walls and a bed with a single-color comforter and a bedroom that is teaming with color and character from custom duvets, decorations, and accessories. Be sure to make your bedroom your own with decorative home furniture and accessories. Shop Nice Furniture in Houston Today!

If you’re like us, the holiday season seemingly came out of nowhere! It seems like just yesterday was March and everyone was starting to have to stay at home due to the coronavirus. But suddenly we blinked and Halloween has already come and gone. Now that the holiday season is upon us, in today’s blog at Nice Furniture in Houston, we’re here to provide you with a few useful holiday tips — both home-furniture related and not. Keep reading to learn more and remember to shop Nice Furniture in Houston for all of your home furniture needs! Keep an Eye Out For Sales Our first and maybe most important tip of today’s blog is to shop the sales. Very few people aren’t interested in saving money. Everybody wants to get the best quality items for as little as possible so that you can stretch your almighty dollar as far as it can go. It’s wise to keep an eye out for flash sales, Black Friday deals, holiday specials, and more. This is true whether you are shopping for home furniture or any other retail good like electronics or gifts. It’s always nice to get more bang for your buck. After all, if you save enough due to a big home furniture sale, who knows, you may have enough left over to buy yourself or your favorite person something nice. Are you interested in hearing about our holiday home furniture deals and promos at Nice Furniture in Houston? Sign up to get notified of our deals and specials on our home page! Furniture Can Make For a Thoughtful Gift When you think of the perfect holiday gift for your loved one, home furniture may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But, if you are struggling to think of a good gift, home furniture can be an excellent option. Think about it — more people than ever before are working from home. Tons of people are in need of a desk upgrade, a nice bookshelf, a comfy office chair, or other office furniture that would make working from home much easier for them. Or perhaps the person you are buying a gift for has an old, run-down chair that has seen better days but their seating is already so limited they can’t bring themselves to get rid of it. Buy them some nice living room furniture to help make their house feel more like home. Remember to Get Enough Sleep While this tip isn’t strictly home furniture related, it’s nonetheless still very important. Some people, we won’t mention any names, seem to forget all about themselves during the holiday season. They spend all of their time cooking, entertaining, and meeting the needs of other people that they may not think they have time to sleep! If this sounds like you, remember to make time for sleep. You’ll feel happier, more energetic, more productive, and you will likely be much more enjoyable to be around after a full night’s rest. Alright, this tip may be a little home furniture related. If you are having trouble getting a full night’s rest, it may be time to upgrade your mattress. Check out our selection of comfortable mattresses at Nice Furniture in Houston today. Plan Ahead If You Are Hosting Is Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, New Years, or any other holiday being hosted at your house this year? Be sure to plan ahead! While some people may have the capability to slap together something fantastic last minute or by the seat of their pants, you’ll see a lot more success with a little planning. It’s worth getting an estimate of how many people will be attending your event. From there you can figure out seating, food, entertainment, schedules, and any other details in order to make for an event that goes off without a hitch. Take Time to Relax Much like getting enough sleep, it’s important to take care of yourself by kicking your feet up when you get the opportunity. Everyone needs a little break now and again. You can lean back in your recliner and watch your favorite show, lay on the couch and read a nice book, do a crossword puzzle at the kitchen table with a snack, or whatever else it is that you want to do for yourself. The key words being for yourself. You can’t take care of others if you haven’t taken care of you first!

We hope that our home furniture tips (and other holiday tips) will prove to be useful to you this holiday season.

With people working from home now more than ever, our team at Nice Furniture in Houston figured now is the perfect time to offer a few helpful tips for those of you working from home for perhaps the first time ever. Working at the kitchen table is an okay temporary solution, but creating a dedicated home office space will help you be more productive and comfortable in your new workflow. Keep reading to learn more about what you can do to create the perfect office space for you and be sure to shop Nice Furniture in Houston for all of your home furniture needs! Organization For many people, organization is a key component of creating a functional and practical home office. We’re not talking about organizing your calendar, schedule, and workload (though those are definitely important, too.) We are talking about the physical organization tools you need to work. For example, if you deal with a lot of paperwork, home furniture for your office like a filing cabinet or a desk with plenty of storage options is going to serve you well and help keep your workflow organized and efficient. Even simple things like pen and pencil holders, smartphone stands, and bookcases can really help to organize your space. When everything has a place and you know exactly where it is, you save the time and effort you would have had to spend hunting for the items you need in all the clutter. The Right Desk The right desk can make all the difference. After a few months of working at the kitchen table, how’s your back feeling about now? Probably not great! Getting the right home furniture for your office like an appropriate-height desk and comfortable office chair can make your life significantly better. Not to mention the huge savings you’ll have from not having to visit your chiropractor weekly anymore. If you’re looking for a great desk or other home furniture to help you get things done, check out our selection at Nice Furniture in Houston today. We’ve got everything you need from shelves to desks and much more. Ambiance Think about it, if your office has barren white walls, no decoration, and hardly any furniture, it isn’t going to be a place in which you're comfortable or that you want to spend time. Adding small touches like a small table, decorative chair, ficus, and wall art can really make your office feel much more comfortable and welcoming. At Nice Furniture in Houston, we believe the right home furniture can solve practically anything! Especially when it comes to creating a home office space where you feel comfortable and motivated to work. Technology For many people, their ability to work from home is only possible because of the internet, computers, and modern technology. Your work may provide you with the equipment you need to effectively work from home, but not everyone is so lucky. Many people find themselves transitioning from a nice multi-monitor workstation at work to an old slow laptop at home. If you really want to create the perfect home office for you, it’s worth investing in the technology that can help make your life easier. This can include home furniture and technology items like: Dual monitors and monitor stands A modern computer that can handle your workload A comfortable and functional mouse and keyboard Accessible chargers and necessary cables A printer Tablets Noise-canceling headphones The list goes on and on. What’s important is that you use technology that compliments your workflow and makes your life simpler. However, if the technology you are using is making your life and work more difficult than it’s worth, it may be worth reconsidering what machinery you keep around.

Thanks for taking the time to read today’s blog, we hope that you found it useful in creating your own perfect home office space.
