Are Kids’ Bunk Beds Right for YOUR Home?

Nothing says childhood bedroom fun and camaraderie like classic twin kids’ bunk beds for your little best buddies. It sure brings back the memories. Your youngsters may be even more enthusiastic about twin bunk or loft beds than you! But are these classic kids’ beds right for YOUR household? In today’s Jerusalem Furniture blog post we’ll give an overview of this summer-camp and barracks classic so you can make an informed decision.

The Pluses of Bunk Beds for Your Kids

First off, kids’ bunks are a boon for the household that’s challenged on floor space. Look cool AND save square footage! One fun thing your kids can do with their bunk beds is take turns on the top bunk, swapping every week, for example. A well-chosen kids’ bunk also gives the siblings a bit more privacy than two separate beds give. Perennial favorite kids’ bunks are more versatile than you might imagine. They don’t even have to be the same size beds. Yes, we know, some big and little siblings are really so fond of each other that they love sharing a room. You can get a cool kids’ bunk with the twin bed on top and a full bed beneath. Also, while of course you want to keep an eye on things so play around your bunk beds is safe, all your kids need for a fun fort is to throw a sheet onto the bunk bed frame!

Why Not to Choose Bunk Beds

Of course, safety is always first. While every kids’ bunk that Jerusalem Furniture sells passes stringent requirement at the factory, pediatricians don’t recommend bunk beds for children under 5. A cool alternative is a trundle bed that rolls under the main bed when not in use.

Remember to always use the right size mattresses for the frames, and to have guardrails on the top bunk.

Why Choosing the Perfect Living Room Sofa Should Be Atop Your Priority List

It may not seem like such a pressing issue at first, but finding the right living room sofa to complement your home can completely change your day-to-day life. From aesthetics to functionality, there are multiple reasons why this decision can drastically improve your home.  We here at Jerusalem Furniture pride ourselves on finding the right fit for our customers by identifying each of their individual needs and making suggestions based on our years of experience in the business.

Practical Questions

You may be asking yourself: “Where do I start?” With so many options to choose from, identifying your needs is the most important when deciding on which living room sofa to select. Here are some important questions to ask yourself:

1. How much space am I working with?
2. Who will primarily be using the sofa?
3. What kind of statement do I want to make?

Once you know where you are putting your new living room sofa, it is crucial to make sure you have sufficient room. For people with a large open area, a bigger sectional sofa is a great addition to any living room. For people with smaller living spaces, a standard-sized sofa or loveseat could be just what the doctor ordered.

Will guests be staying overnight? Maybe a pull-out bed would be best.  Do you frequently return home from a stressful day of work feeling sore? Maybe some recliner therapy is in order!

Artistic Freedom

Once you know who the primary living room sofa-sitters will be, you can then address the visual aspect of the sofa and determine what kind of vibe you are looking to create. Many families prefer a traditional approach, while many single socialites prefer making a bold statement when choosing the color, shape, and material.

Regardless of your personal situation, our friendly and knowledgeable staff is more than happy to assist. You should feel comfortable knowing that Jerusalem is one of the top furniture stores in Pennsauken,NJ.   

It may seem overwhelming at first, but don’t worry. At Jerusalem Furniture, we have your back… literally!

Simple Tips for Furnishing Small Spaces

Everyone deserves the home of their dreams, no matter how big or small their space. Even if you live in a studio or a one-bedroom apartment, with the right home furnishings, you can create a space that is just as stylish and inviting as a larger home. At Jerusalem Furniture, we have a diverse collection of products, with furniture selections suitable for homes of every shape and size. With our quality furniture collection and a few simple tips, you will be able to make a big statement in any size home.

Think Vertically

When furnishing a smaller room, try to build upward, not outward. In other words, look for furniture pieces that are tall and thin, as opposed to short and wide. This rule is particularly useful to apply in your bedroom, where it can often be difficult to find enough space for all your personal belongings. Instead of purchasing a dresser, you can purchase one of our bedroom chests instead. A bedroom chest delivers virtually the same amount of storage as a dresser, but it features a slimmer design. Choosing a bedroom chest over a dresser will help you to conserve some much-needed space.  

Take Furniture Size into Consideration

Even if it is possible to squeeze a large piece of furniture into a room, that doesn’t necessarily mean you should. Always make sure your furniture has room to breathe and that you leave enough space for people to easily walk in and out of the room. Choosing appropriately sized furniture is especially crucial in your dining room, since guests will need room to walk around your table and slide in and out of their chairs. Round dining tables are a great option for smaller dining rooms, as their circular design eliminates wasted space. We even have drop-leaf dining tables that you can close or expand as necessary.

Choose Multipurpose Furniture Pieces

When trying to conserve space, multipurpose furniture is extremely beneficial. Why take up room with two furniture pieces when you can achieve just as much with one? For example, consider one of our living room storage benches or storage ottomans. These versatile furniture pieces provide seating as well as well as discrete storage, helping you to keep your living room neat and tidy.
