It’s no doubt that the traditional old world style of furniture was designed to impress. Traditional furniture was originally designed for European royalty from the 17th to the 19th century. Luxurious furniture was created by using intricate and formal finishes that were rich and dark. Cherry, walnut, dark oaks, and mahogany were the desired woods that were used. The woods were often stained with medium to dark finishes and you could often find certain pieces adorned with marble. In traditional furniture you can expect to find curved or fluted legs and ball and claw feet as well.
The Campaign and Plantation style of traditional furniture evolved from colonial expeditions and wartime. It differed from the old world styles as furniture pieces often had legs that were able to be removed or folded down entirely. As opposed to the intricate details of the old world style, the Campaign and Plantation style furniture had simple details and cleaner lines. You could often find these pieces with hidden compartments and rich textures or even animal prints too.
The Early American style of traditional furniture held its roots from the traditional old world style, but were scaled down for the more simplified American desires. Early American furniture featured medium to dark finishes on cherry, walnut, oak, mahogany and pine woods. Many furniture pieces were also painted and contained spindles and finials.
All varieties of traditional furniture remain a popular design choice in today’s world. At Grand Furniture Gallery you will find many exquisite furniture pieces, designed in the traditional style that is sure to make your home look absolutely divine.

The years from 1901 to 1910 are technically considered the “Edwardian era”, which was named after the reign of King Edward VII. Stylistically speaking however, people began embracing the Edwardian style in the early 1890’s and continued to enjoy it until the beginning of World War II. The Victorian era preceded the Edwardian era, and people grew tired of the dark and heavy Victorian style. They soon began to enjoy the ambiance that was created by the cheerful Edwardian decorating style. The Edwardian style brought about many changes in home decorating, mostly because people had a new understanding of cleanliness. Carpeting was replaced with wood or linoleum flooring. Dark paint was replaced with white paint so that dirt could be seen easier. Wallpaper was removed and replaced with paint so that it too could be cleaned easier. During the Victorian Era, even the ceilings were wallpapered, so the changes in home décor were quite vast. Heavy Victorian curtains were also tossed out and exchanged for simple lace panels. Many of these stylistic changes are still popular in today’s homes.
At Grand Furniture Gallery you will find the Edwardian Mans Chest Complete, which showcases the beautiful Edwardian style. This stunning piece of furniture is not only spacious, but designed to last for years to come. This chest offers drawers galore to fit everything in any man’s wardrobe, a removable shelf, a clothing rod, and a beveled door mirror.

Typically, leather furniture will last longer than its upholstered competitors. Anyone who has ever owned a nice piece of leather furniture can tell you that proper care will not only prolong its life but also keep it looking attractive for many years.
Just like fine wood furniture, it’s important to keep leather furniture away from heat sources. Leather can stiffen, crack and fade when placed too closely to a fireplace or in an area that receives direct sunlight. All leather furniture should be dusted or vacuumed regularly. Accumulated dirt or debris should be removed with a soft cloth that is slightly dampened. Always test an inconspicuous spot to make sure that the leather is not absorbing the water prior to washing the entire surface area though. Spills happen and when they do, you should never wipe leather during the clean up process. Instead use a dry cloth and blot the spill until it is removed.
Leather can be tricky to clean when you have a stubborn stain, but you should never use cleaning solvents, detergents, ammonia or soap on it. These products can all permanently damage the surface of the leather. You should also be mindful of placing any newspapers or other printed materials on leather furniture. Ink dyes will transfer and the remaining stains are very difficult to remove. Most manufacturers will advise you that leather furniture should be conditioned every 6 to 12 months to prolong its life and keep it looking beautiful.
Grand Furniture Gallery has many beautiful pieces of leather furniture to choose from. Stop by our store to see our extensive leather collection. With the quality you expect from North Carolina furniture, we have sofas, chairs, ottomans, recliners, loveseats, bar stools, pub chairs, beds, commodes, benches, and mirrors that are available in many different colors.

Sugar and spice and everything nice…that’s what they say about girls you know. Decorating a girl’s room, no matter the age, can be a fantastically fun adventure!
Every girl I have ever encountered loves pretty colors so decorating her room can be quite easy. Whether you choose to paint the walls her favorite colors or keep it neutral, adding color components are important when decorating a girl’s room. Accessories for the room provide a great way to add splashes of color through any space.
For a room she will adore consider making a theme room. You can decorate a theme room as far as your imagination will take you. Princesses and storybook characters have always been popular choices when decorating a little girl’s room. Other room themes that might spark her interest are stars, dance, beach, angels, fairies, garden, animals, sports, jungle, and even bugs. Any of these themes can easily be achieved by using paint, wallpaper border, stencils, murals, pictures, accessories, and sheets and bedding items.
Children can be very hard on furniture so you definitely want to pick furniture that will stand up to abuse. When choosing a bunk bed, select one with fine craftsmanship that will last for many years to come.

This twin bunk bed set is made of hardwood solids and veneers. The Cottage Colours Collection has everything you will need to enhance the entire bedroom as well.
