Now that we have put away the last Christmas light, it’s time to focus on a new year and a new season. You know, I have always heard “the little things are everything.” With that being said, let’s look at something as small as end tables, ottomans, sofa/coffee tables and console tables.
These are small things that make such a big difference. The great thing about side end tables is that they are available in so many different finishes. They can be square, round, rectangular, small, big, even have baskets to complement them.
I have seen so many changes in looks and finishes, and a myriad of customers are now using ottomans as their main coffee table. The ottoman, which is available in so many different fabrics, also offers extra seating when friends and family stop in for a visit. You can choose leather, fabric with button tufting, or great animal prints. Some ottomans have legs, casters for rolling, or open storage on top.
With so many options offered when choosing an ottoman, it just makes sense to use them as multi-function pieces.
If you are a person who doesn’t like a quick all-over change, stick with these small options and work your way up. Take a few minutes, gather your thoughts and ideas for spring, then stop in Ford’s and let a member of our knowledgeable sales staff assist you. Or feel free to make an appointment with our design service team, free to our customers! Get the most out of your springtime – you deserve it!
