Setting a theme
Does your home have heart?
When a home has a heart, it gives emotional warmth and feels centered. Wood furniture helps this process. Centering your home is about choosing a theme and tying each room together with the next. Floors, colors, window dressings and furniture are all part of this process of giving warmth and heart to a home. Amish oak and hickory furniture pieces tend to give a feel of solid quality, tradition, and durability. This furniture is for people who like to celebrate holidays, create meaningful moments, and remember birthdays.
Does your home have a conversation circle? In some homes, the kitchen table is where people arrive and settle into a comfortable chair, ready for food and emotional nurture. In other homes, a couch and chairs are arranged in a semi-circle not more than about eight to ten feet apart. Farther than this suggests formal or distant communication. Closer encourages more intimate conversation. Wood furniture can help bring people closer together physically and emotionally in this way.
