The living room is where we relax after a long day, entertain friends and family, and make some of our most special memories. At the same time, the space should be functional and outfitted with furniture that provides strength and beauty in equal proportion. That’s why so many interior decorators and homeowners turn to Amish furniture for living room design inspiration. If you’re interested in updating your space with quality Amish-made furnishings, Adirondack Furniture explains how to get started.
Why Amish Furniture?
Amish furniture is highly prized for its rugged construction and timeless beauty. Living room furniture created by Amish craftsmen shares a few key characteristics, including:
- Made with solid hardwood
- Created with hydraulic and/or pneumatic tools
- Built with traditional joinery techniques
- Sustainable, eco-friendly production processes
- Crafted by experienced artisans
These time-tested techniques produce unique furniture that is known for its strength, simplicity, and elegance. However, Amish furniture for living rooms is available in many styles, from traditional designs to looks in the Shaker, Craftsman, Mission, and Southwest traditions. This means that no matter which look you prefer, it’s easy to take advantage of all the benefits Amish craftsmanship offers. Best of all, the furnishings you choose will be just as beautiful in your grandchildren’s living rooms as it is in yours today.
Decorating with Amish Furniture
Adirondack Furniture is proud to offer a wide selection of living room furnishings created by the top Amish manufacturers, including everything from sofas, chairs, and tables to mirrors, TV stands, and hutches. Whether you have strong ideas about the look of your living room or need a few pointers, our team has a few simple tips to help create a look you’ll love.
- Let wood take center stage: The wood used to create Amish living room furniture is carefully chosen for its grain and color and finished to emphasize these qualities. Make northern red oak, cherry, pine, maple, or another popular choice the theme of your furnishings for a cohesive look that showcases the natural beauty of each piece.
- Keep colors neutral: To echo the look of Amish-style décor, choose upholstery fabrics with subdued, neutral tones. You’ll want to mirror these hues in your window treatments and soft furnishings as well.
- Conceal electronics: When TVs, stereo systems, and other A/V components are in plain sight, they distract from the classic look of your Amish-inspired living room. Look for hutches and TV cabinets that conceal these devices, yet provide easy access when you’re ready for movie night.
- Choose thoughtful accents: Keep the spirit of Amish style at the forefront by using quilts and country-themed artwork. To enhance natural light and brighten the space, look for mirrors with gleaming glass and handcrafted wood frames.
- Blend function and style: Amish furniture offers more than good looks – it’s also built by experienced artisans who bring innovative features to traditional pieces. Look for benches that extend to accommodate extra guests, futons that make hosting overnight visitors a breeze, and glass door panels that let remote signals pass with ease.
