Quite often, designers will steer their clients away from pieces of furniture that have stone tops or fossil tops. Why? Sometimes it is because they are concerned that their clients will find the prices too steep and will run away from their services. In truth, there are many companies who take advantage of the difficulty in finding fossil stone and charge an arm and a leg for it. There are, however, some companies that know that not everyone can afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a dining room set, and they are able to make it not only affordable, but beautiful as well.

The Brookside Round Dining Set is the perfect example of how a company can take a popular material, such as fossil stone top, and can turn it into an affordable piece of furniture. This beautiful table and chair set has a fossil stone top not only on the top of the table, but also as an inlay in the back of the chairs, tying the two separate pieces together beautifully. The metal work is all finished with a brown color, contributing to the earthy tone that this piece brings forth. The back of each of the chairs is done in an intricate heart-shaped design that features the stone inlay in the middle of the back of the chair.

Counter Height dining room sets are often ignored because, frankly, people are unsure what to make of them. When it comes to furniture, most people choose to use the same style of furniture that they grew up with. There are some who like to have furniture that is different than anything they’ve ever seen before, often because they have a different style than their parents had. They usually, however, stick with the same height of furniture. Counter height dining room sets are much different because they are higher than a traditional dining room set. This extra height, however, can come in extremely handy, especially when you have guests over for dinner.

Counter height tables and chairs, such as the Northern Heights Counter Height Dining Set, are usually much more comfortable than lower sets, because the guest is able to sit and let their legs extend down naturally. Sitting up higher also makes it easier to talk with people when you are standing. If you are walking around while your guests are sitting, they will be forced to look up to you, which can get uncomfortable after a time. With higher chairs, people will have less far to look up at you.

The Northern Heights Counter Height Dining Set by Hillsdale Furniture is the perfect set for someone who likes darker, more dramatic furniture. The table has a dark stained top with black legs. The chairs have a neutral colored fabric on the seats but the rest of the wood is painted black. The crossed back design keeps the pieces from becoming too boring, while the set all together creates a majestic look in any dining room. For a truly elegant look, add a runner down the middle of the table and a few candles.

Sometimes we put too much stock in ornate things. For instance, have you ever gone into a hotel room and thought “yuck”. The colors were too bright, or the patterns were too much, making you long for your own soothing, relaxing bedroom? When it comes to bedrooms, it is often better to stick with simple lines and pieces, especially if you’re not quite sure what you’re doing when it comes to design. Adding the wrong pieces together can be akin to wearing a plaid top and polka dot bottoms, which is nothing that anyone ever wants to see. The simpler the bed or headboard and other pieces of furniture are, the easier it is to make sure that everything matches or syncs up, keeping your room looking and feeling relaxing and beautiful.
