The Top Five Interior Design Tips for Your Home

After living in the same place for a long time, it’s only natural to tire of your surroundings. It’s part of our nature to crave change every once in a while. To modify their homes, many people engage in extensive remodeling projects, which may include knocking down walls, gutting kitchens, and ripping up old flooring. However, it’s usually much easier to redecorate your home to gain the change you desire. Brightening your walls with fresh paint, buying a new light fixture, and replacing old couches with Amish furniture is both easy and fun. Whether you’re just starting out or need some new scenery, here are five interior design solutions for your home.

1. Upholstery

Upholstered couches, chairs, and loveseats can unfortunately become outdated. Fabric types and designs go in and out of style more quickly than other types of furniture. It also ages much more quickly, so chances are, some of your upholstery from previous decades doesn’t look so great anymore. Snyder’s Pennsylvania furniture store, with a wide selection of Amish furniture in Lancaster, PA, features many stylish and durable upholstered products to replace your old, dated furniture.

2. Accents

Adding accents to your new and existing Amish furniture is a fun way to redecorate. Small tables and cabinets are just a few stylish accent pieces that come at a relatively low price. A mirror, curio, or end table could be just the thing you need to spice up your room. Local designs, like Amish furniture from PA, are great conversation pieces.

3. Color

You’d be amazed at the difference a fresh coat of paint can make in brightening up your home. A new wall color can do wonders in bringing out the tones in your Amish furniture. The right room color also gives your space a complete, polished look. If you want additional wall accessories, vinyl wall decals are also becoming popular these days. They’re inexpensive, easy to apply and remove, and won’t damage your wall.

4. Move it

Experimenting with a new furniture layout is also a great way to infuse new life into your room. When you buy a new piece of furniture, try putting it in a different place. If your old couch was against one wall, trying putting it by another. A new furniture arrangement helps maximize the benefits of buying new pieces.

5. Clean house

If your home is seriously out-of-date, you might consider replacing several pieces of furniture. Chances are, if you bought all of your furniture at around the same time, you’ll have to replace it around the same time. That means that if one chair or couch looks really drab, other pieces might start to as well. Snyder’s has a wide selection of all types of Amish furniture from Lancaster, PA—everything from coffee tables to bedroom furniture. Since a lot of our Amish furniture has a lifetime guarantee, it’s sure to last for many years to come.

Seize the Day on Our Beautiful Handcrafted Porch Rockers

There are few things more relaxing than sitting on the front porch or deck on brand new, finely constructed Amish porch rockers. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee, unwinding after a workday, or doing some summer reading, a rocker is the perfect place to do it. With the summer breeze at your face and the smooth wood of the sides under your hands, a porch rocker allows you to view the beauty of nature from a comfortable setting. Snyder’s Pennsylvania furniture store has a large variety of strong and beautiful Amish porch rockers for the ultimate relaxation experience.

Designed for Comfort

Many of Snyder’s rockers have a roomy, saddled seat for a cozy feel. They’re also available in a number of sizes, so you’re sure to find the perfect fit just for you. Our Old Squire Rocker is spacious enough for big and tall men, while our Cottage Rocker is a great size for more petite users. We even feature a child-sized Amish porch rocker for our youngest customers. Snyder’s rockers are also suitable for your favorite leisure activities. All of our rockers are perfect for reading a new book, browsing the local newspaper, or bird watching.

If you’re looking for even more added comfort, the Appalachian Fanback Rocker may be just what you’re after. You won’t find a more luxurious Amish porch rocker in furniture stores in Lancaster, PA. In addition to its large saddled seat, the Appalachian Fanback has scooped arm rests and a fitted back and headrest. It’s so comfortable that it may even become your new favorite place for taking a nap!

Superior Craftsmanship

All of our porch rockers are locally homemade and meet the highest industry standards among Amish furniture in Pennsylvania. They are carefully constructed from quality materials, so they’ll last for years to come. Choose from our recycled poly resin that’s designed to withstand weather or our beautiful ash for a more traditional look and feel. Unlike traditional outdoor furniture, Snyder’s poly resin is made of 97 percent recycled material, so it’s an environmentally friendly choice. With both wood and poly resin rockers, you’ll have a beautiful and functional outdoor seat!

Options for Style

Snyder’s porch rockers are designed with you in mind. We know that your porch rocker should reflect your style. That’s why our rockers come in a wide variety of paint colors and finishes. You can easily match our Amish porch rockers to your existing furniture. Many of our chairs can be painted multiple colors, giving you even more options.

If you’re looking to buy furniture to match your rocker, check out Snyder’s wide selection of outdoor furniture. Many of our tables are designed to match our cozy rockers in function and style. They’re great for holding a drink or a book and make beautiful complementary pieces!

Mother's Day

As you might have noticed we have a Mother’s Day sale coming up this weekend. Remember to show some appreciation to the mothers in your life, and of course that appreciation could involve a gift purchased from Snyder’s. We'd be glad to help.

It was a slow weekend, town was empty, and it appeared the tourists stayed away. For a community that depends on the tourism industry this was not the best news. It does appear though that things have picked up over the last 6 months or so. Today we got a new table on the showroom floor; it’s an old favorite, the Frederick single pedestal table done in black and special cherry on solid cherry wood. We have a nice variety of new items arriving over the next few weeks. Because of the lead times, it’s always hard to keep items on the floor when people buy them right off.

If you’re a fan of art, or just like to enjoy a night on the town, remember its First Friday in downtown Lancaster this coming Friday. Many of the art galleries and antique shops are open late. It’s a great way to enjoy the vibrant downtown area of Lancaster. Lancaster is so much more than farms and woodshops. You can learn more information at LancasterArts. Another place I like to recommend is Rosa Rosa Ristorante Italiano’s Late Night Jazz. They showcase local and regional talent from 10pm onward every Friday and Saturday. If you ever want some information about activities to do in the area, do not hesitate to ask us.

Have a great weekend,

Earth Day Sale

Our first Earth Day sale was a satisfying experience. We gave away a good number of white pine and blue spruce saplings and will be donating a percentage of our sales to a local tree preservation society. We’ll be sure to post when that happens. We’ve been looking to add an even that is as exciting for our customers in the spring as our tent sale is in the fall. This event had a promising start and we’ll be looking to add to it next year.

As you’ve might have noticed we’ve recently added a Youtube channel. Not only will we be showing our television advertisements, but we’ll be showing some neat videos we’ve shot around the store. We might demo some of the product features or some of our thoughts regarding furniture and interior design. If you have some ideas for segments let us know!
