Choosing Indoor Wicker Furniture Sets

Have you been shopping around for new furniture but are finding it difficult to find something catches your eye? Before making your final decision, do not rule out wicker furniture. Choosing indoor wicker furniture sets can open the door to new styles you may have never imagined.

Many people think of wicker as sun porch or outdoor furniture but there are many stylish pieces of woven indoor furniture that can brighten up your room and add a new ambience. From wicker dining sets to bedroom and living room sets; there is something for every room in your home.

Why Choose Wicker?

Contrary to popular belief that wicker is delicate and easily damaged, top quality woven pieces are normally hand-weaved to provide extra durability. Wicker is made from weaving natural plant fibers into objects. This can include plants such as reed and bamboo, or synthetic materials such as resin wicker. The plant that is used most often in the production of wicker is rattan. If you care for your wicker furniture properly, it will last for years to come.

Wicker Sofa Sets

Choosing a wicker sofa set is similar to choosing any other type of sofa. Your pieces should be comfortable, attractive, and fit within your budget. Wicker sofa sets come with cushions that can be changed when you want a different look without having to purchase a new living room set. You can accent your room with wicker shelves, television stands, and other matching pieces.

Wicker Dining Room Sets

Wicker dining rooms sets are available in so many different styles you might be overwhelmed by the selection. Whether you have a living/dining room combination and want matching pieces or you want to go with something totally different, wicker has something to suit your taste.

Proper Wicker Care

Just like your other furniture, wicker requires routine care but is often easy to care for and longer lasting than other types of furniture. Frequent dusting or vacuuming will keep your furniture looking new. Spills should be wiped up immediately with a damp cloth and mixture of water and mild detergent. Reed wicker can be washed with a water hose; however, bamboo wicker should be washed by hand.

It is important to let your furniture dry thoroughly before using it. Depending on the climate, this could take up to several days to dry. Wicker furniture is sensitive to humidity. A dry environment may cause wicker to become brittle and crack. Too much humidity could create mold and/or mildew. You can easily treat signs of mildew with a solution of bleach and water.

Whether you want one accent piece or an entire home with wicker furniture, the options are limitless. Wicker is an affordable, attractive option when it comes to decorating your home and it will last a long time with the proper care.…

Protecting Fabric and Leather Sofas From Bed Bugs

Back in 2006, a resident of Chicago sued a Catskills hotel $20 million because of the bed bug bites she received during her three day stay. While the 500 or so itchy, burning bites the women endured clearly represented an extreme example of exposure, the event did a lot to put a nation on alert against these tiny, blood-sucking insects.

Bed bugs, the tiny, flat parasites from the Cimicidae family of insects are often reddish-brown, a side-effect of their diet. They feed exclusively on the blood of homeothermic (i.e. warm-blooded) animals, including humans.

Female bed bugs lay their eggs in hidden places, producing as many as 500 in their lifetimes. The largest only get to about a fourth of an inch long, but it takes them less than a month to fully develop.

In the early 1940s, bed bugs were mostly eradicated in the developed world. However, the mid-90s brought a resurgence of the parasite, a rebirth accredited to increased travel to impoverished nations, as well as more and more people taking pre-owned beds, mattresses, and sectional sofas from the street.

The insects also travel relatively fast and easily through pipes and boards. Their preferred nesting place is the fabric of furniture, such as beds, couches, sofa sleepers, chaise lounges, and futons. Additionally, the bugs have been known to nest in clutter found around a sleeping area. Their preferred habitat seems to center more on remaining close to their meal supply.

It can be hard to detect bed bugs, due to their nocturnal nature and small stature. Often, detection is caused due to the things the insects leave behind, such as fecal spots, blood smears, etc.

Additionally, patterns of bug bites in a row or in a cluster usually signal an infestation. However, just because you found some itchy bumps on your skin doesn’t automatically mean you have bed bugs. A bed bug bite is often a raised red freckle-like bump, typically extraordinarily itchy, making it almost indistinguishable to a mosquito bite. However, a bed bug bite will last a much longer period of time.

While not the most dangerous parasite to be in bed with, bed bugs do present considerable discomfort, and in some rare situations, cause nausea and sickness through allergic reactions. However, some people may not even show signs of being bitten, just another reason why the bugs can be so hard to detect.

One of the major fears when dealing with blood-sucking parasites is the fear of disease being passed to the host. Considering as many as 30 different kinds of infectious agents can live inside each insect, it would seem a realistic assumption that this parasite is no different. Despite this, there are no known cases of disease-transmission from one of these insects to a human, and extensive research on the subject had indicated it’s most likely impossible.

So the question, as it is with any infectious parasite, is how to get rid of it? DDT was …

A Clear Choice – The Versatile Glass Coffee Table

In many households, the family room is where most of the action takes place. We watch TV shows and movies, we eat, the kids socialize with friends and do homework, we take naps, and we hold parties. Outside the kitchen, it’s the place that gets the biggest workout, at least in my home. The furniture needs to be comfortable, hold up to wear and tear, and for most of us, still convey a sense of style.

Why would I then select a glass coffee table for this space? It’s an accident waiting to happen, you might say. But I’ve had more than one glass coffee table, and the fact that I’ve bought more than one shows that they work for me.

When I had a baby cruising the living room furniture, I was anxious about the hard-edged wood table we had. I found a wicker coffee table, one with soft, rounded edges and a glass insert for the table top. I did pause at the thought of adding glass to the equation with a toddler in the house. Instead, the rounded wicker was a safe choice, and the baby never tried to play with, sit on, or otherwise damage the tempered glass that was inset into the wicker surface. In fact, the glass top was a great surface for modeling clay or drawing paper. Cleanup was as easy as a wipe with glass cleaner and a paper towel.

When the kids got a little older, and we added furniture to the house, I did not hesitate to buy another glass coffee table. This time, I found the perfect one to place in front of my new sofa-a rectangle glass top with a rolled edge and a solid, wrought iron base that provided a shelf for books. Not only did it look great in the room, but I realized that this glass coffee table did not take up the visual space that a wood table might have. I had a full-sized glass coffee table, but because of its clear top and its wrought iron base, you could see completely through it. The great upholstery I picked for the sofa and the area rug was visible below the table were the starring elements in the decor. This glass table let me highlight the other design elements in the room.

Time came to outfit another room–this time, a smaller, more cozy space. What would look good in front of the antique love seat in my library? A small space called for less visual clutter. What did I find that fit the space? Another glass coffee table, this time, an oval inset in a bronze metal frame with slender support bars. Again, it takes up no visible weight, but still suits the decor of the room. My newest glass coffee table is light, so it’s easy to move, and it’s a snap to clean.

You can find a glass coffee table in nearly any size, …
