Transform Your Home for the Holidays and Beyond

Trying to choose unique gifts this holiday season, for others and maybe for yourself, too?

Consider new furniture!

This issue, we’re featuring Twin Cities-based Schneiderman’s Furniture for a fresh take on holiday gifts. And if home decor seems like an unusual choice, stick with us — you’d be surprised at exactly how popular gifting furniture is during the holidays.

The Living Room and Other Social Spaces

Whether you or your gift recipients have a living room, a den, a dining room, or some combination of the three, social spaces are an excellent place to start thinking about gift ideas. Let’s start with the living room.

The Living Room

Got someone on your list who loves nothing more than curling up on a big, comfy sofa and reading? Or perhaps streaming their favorite shows?

Enhance their comfort with a new fluffy blanket or perhaps a moveable side table. For example, Schneiderman’s Furniture has dozens of side tables in lots of different styles, including a Stella C-Shape Burnished Copper Side Table (currently $187.00).

The unique C-shape means it can slide underneath the sofa and reach the lap of the person using it. They’ll always have their favorite book or cup of tea right within reach, and can move it out of the way when needed.

Or, if you have a friend or family member who never misses the big game or loves streaming the latest hit movie, consider a new media console. Schneiderman’s has dozens of sizes and styles to suit different tastes and storage needs.

Your media guru can store their DVD collection, kids’ video games, or extra blankets for those chilly Minnesota nights, all beneath their big screen TV.

(Bonus: a new console works for a den, too!)

The Den

Dens can be private, quiet places or vibrant social ones. For the person on your list who prefers solitude, consider a new recliner or ottoman. Every time they sit down to relax, they’ll think of you.

For the more social den users, a sectional can be a thoughtful gift. Sectionals are especially useful because they’re designed to be able to separate and reattach, so your social butterfly can reimagine their space however they’d like, over and over. It’s like giving them multiple den upgrades in one single gift.

Need a smaller idea? Perhaps a new coffee table can upgrade your loved one’s space. Clever new shelving to display their favorite items, a few textured throw pillows, or even a statement rug to center the room are all accessible options for a den refresh.

The Dining Room

This room is often connected to the kitchen, which is called the heart of the home for a reason. The kitchen brings together family and friends over the shared act of cooking and eating food. The dining room is an extension of this bonding, so making it a welcoming and enjoyable area is key.

If you have an entertainer on your list, consider gifting them a new dining table set. Whether they prefer a modern, sleek look or a more rustic wooden feel, Schneiderman’s Furniture has lots of choices. They even have credenzas and other dining room storage options to keep the plates, utensils, and cooking appliances close by and organized.

A dining room doesn’t have to have a full table either. Perhaps there’s someone on your list with bar seating? New bar stools can be just the ticket.

Speaking of, the entertainer on your list might also enjoy a new bar cart. Help them serve their guests drinks with style whether you choose a wood and iron cart or metal and glass.

The Bedroom

We spend a significant amount of time in our bedrooms (the average is around 10 hours per day), so make it a comfortable and inviting space.

For the gift recipients on your list, this can be as simple as a few new decorative pillows for the bed, a fluffy blanket, or even a scented candle for aromatherapy. You could try a new picture frame for their favorite bedroom wall art or shelving for their latest plant purchase. Perhaps a fresh, large mirror as a statement piece.

Or — and this might surprise you — mattresses and bedding are actually a top winter upgrade gift ideas. Bedding is especially accessible as a gift because you can never have too many sheet sets or blankets.

Schneiderman’s Furniture also has a collection of surprisingly affordable bed frames to choose from. They have panel beds, platform beds, upholstered beds… and many also have matching nightstands for a sleek, put together look.

Schneiderman’s also carries seven different mattress brands, including big names like Sealy, Serta, and Tempur-Pedic. So if you’ve got someone on your list who’s always talking about their back pain or sleep issues, consider gifting a new mattress to help.

Still Not Sure?

If the idea of giving a “big” gift like a mattress or sectional seems overwhelming to you, that’s okay! Start “small” with pillows, mirrors, frames, shelves, or even a lamp.

And if you need even more help imagining your space (or helping your gift recipients imagine theirs!), Schneiderman’s Furniture has two stellar features: a Room Planner and Design Services.

Their Room Planner is an online service where you can choose from their pre-measured virtual rooms or design your own. You can add, remove, and adjust every piece of furniture and accessory in it to create your perfect space. Then just purchase your chosen items and start upgrading your room right away!

Or, if you’d prefer Schneiderman’s to do it for you, request an appointment for their Design Services. They work with you to customize your space to suit your design and budget. With showrooms throughout Minnesota, Schneiderman’s Furniture is an accessible and fun way to upgrade your home for the holiday season and beyond.
