Dress your Sofa with Style

Finding the perfect accent pieces for your new sofa can sometimes be a little difficult, and pillows often seem to not be enough.

When adding accents to your sofa, be sure to take a swatch that matches your sofa color with you. Second guessing the exact color of your sofa can be irritating and difficult. Getting a few different colored pillows for your sofa will give you variety. Make sure to pick out pillows that not only coincide with the sofa but also with each other.

Another great accent piece to add to your sofa is a throw blanket. You want to get a throw blanket that goes with your sofa but is NOT an exact match. The best trick is to pick an accent color off a pillow and try to match it to that.

An ottoman or coffee table can also give your sofa that hidden touch. When you purchase an ottoman or coffee table look for something that goes with your sofa. You never want to match the exact colors, but rather get something that accentuates the sofa, as it tends to be the main piece of your living room.

England Furniture can help you pick out some new accents for your couch and point you in the right direction. Accents are a very important part of making your home feel like home and England Furniture can help guide the way.

England Furniture Reviews 2015 Pantone Color of the Year

Every year a secret meeting of representatives from various nations’ color standards groups meet to determine the Pantone Color of the Year. This year the chosen color is Marsala. A naturally robust and earthy wine red, Marsala enriches our minds, bodies and souls. The impactful, full-bodied qualities of Marsala make for an elegant, grounded statement color when used on its own or as a strong accent to many other colors. Marsala is equally appealing to men and women and it encourages color creativity and experimentation. This color is dramatic and at the same time grounding, the rich and full-bodied red-brown Marsala brings color warmth into home interiors.

England Furniture invites you to embrace the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year by considering our England Furniture fabrics that highlight the color Marsala.  This post is a first in a series of ten articles exploring these Marsala fabrics from England.

Here’s a sneek peek of what’s to come!

England Furniture Reviews Spring Market in High Point, NC

england-furniture-reviews-2015-spring-market
April brings two things with certainty to High Point, NC – allergens and the International Furniture Market. While we have no control over spring and the former, the latter is ours to define in whatever manner we think best showcases our products.  Response from dealers who visited our Plaza Suites showroom reinforced our prediction that this would be a fantastic market for England Furniture. Our floor was filled with fresh looks, lively colors and a balanced mix of traditional, contemporary and transitional furniture.  Our Top 5 best-selling styles were the 5380 Weaver, 4630 Angie, 2V00 Vespers, 3B00 Paxton and 1Z05 Blayklee.  The top selling motion group was the 3A00 Masters and the favorite leather group was the 2T00AL Loyston. The cover chosen most to dress market purchases was Longhorn Silt, an overall simulated suede-look fabric.

Programs new in April, 2015, include Sunbrella, a line of indoor, outdoor furniture covered in soft, luxurious Sunbrella, Glen Raven Mill’s fade resistant performance fabric made of acrylic based fiber. Sunbrella was originally designed for patio and sunroom furniture, awnings, marine applications and other areas where the elements play havoc on natural fabrics.

england-furniture-reviews-2015-market-sunbrella
Dorchester Abbey, a step-up leather program featuring select leathers and linens on a limited number of frames, is being offered to qualifying dealers. Work continues on adding Coil Core spring enhancements as an option to motion. Motion styles new at the April market can accommodate the upgrade; older motion styles will be converted as parts become available, our goal being by the end of June.

Traffic and sales were both up double-digits in the England Furniture showroom. For the sake of our beloved industry and the men and women who work in it, we hope other showrooms had similar results. Even though the pollen seemed up by double-digits, too – and it rained way more than we thought it should – it turned out to be quite a pleasant market. Many thanks to our England Furniture customers, the England Furniture employees who made it happen, and to our England Furniture dealers for affirming their efforts. Now on to planning for the October Market…

England Furniture Reviews 2014 with England Furniture Year-End Awards


england-furniture-reviews-2014-ade-wards-

At the close of each year, England Furniture sets aside some time to recognize personnel who have attained significant milestones with the England Furniture Company. Many in the work force at large never expect to be with the same company for years, but England Furniture is fortunate to consistently retain numerous, loyal employees. This cycle saw 39 workers receiving a plaque for 15 years of service, 29 received a watch for 20 years, and 10 long-timers received a plaque and recliner for 30 years of service. Some in this number have never work for any employer other than the England Furniture Company.

Among those recognized were Connie Gilbert (Purchasing and Inventory Control Manager) and Kathy Hurst-Johnson (Accounts Receivable Manager). Both have been with England for 30 years. Philip Arnold (Inside Sales Manager) received his 20 year watch.

Brian Price and Opal Johnson were co-winners of the Arnold Dwight England Award of Excellence. This annual award identifies a deserving England Furniture employee for a contribution that resulted in a significant impact on the operations of the company. Scotty Coffey and Jackie Goins were also nominated. The winners and runners-up all received cash prizes

England Furniture Sales Awards Presented for 2014

During the Representative sales meeting at the October International Furniture Market in High Point several England representatives were recognized for their performance in Fiscal 2014, ending April 30th. Factors contributing to receiving the awards include measurable criteria such as sales volume, change from the previous reporting period and territory GP. Somewhat influential are things like positive work ethic, ability to resolve dealer issues, and other less-definable gauges. England is fortunate to have an outstanding group of men and women dedicated to being the professional connection between the factory and the retail outlet.

In addition to the sales awards, England annually identifies the person in their sales force who most exemplifies the values held by its founder, Arnold Dwight England. Called the “Mr. D Award”, it is, arguably, the most coveted of the plaques presented each October.

Periodically, a Trailblazer Award is given to acknowledge efforts by a sales representative to grow a territory in spite of challenging conditions. This year, our Northern California representative was singled out for her determination in increasing the California market.

“All our reps deserve some level of recognition,” said Otis Sawyer, President of England, “but, when benchmarks are applied, understandably, the ones with the most impressive stats gravitate to the top.”

The 2014 England Furniture Sales Awards were awarded to the following persons:
Cam Morgan, North Carolina (Small Territory)
Josh Weeks, Colorado and parts of NE and WY (Medium Territory)
Jim Emerson, ND, SD, MN and No. Iowa (Large Territory)
Phil Johnson, Kansas and Missouri and parts of Iowa and NE (“Mr. D” Award)
Dolly Ponta, No. California (Trailblazer Award)

The England Furniture 24th Annual ADE Golf Scramble: (from left to right) Otis Sawyer, Garrett Tucker, Terry England, Larry Moores

On September 18, 2014, England Furniture vendors, suppliers, employees, and sales reps will join with those who generally love golf and will gather at the Woodlake Golf Resort in Tazewell, TN, to take part in the England Furniture 25th Annual ADE Golf Scramble.

The monies generated by the golfing event will be placed in the ADE Foundation, an entity created to disperse funds to charities that seek the good of the local community. Previous recipients have included the American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity, Walter State Community College scholarships, and The Alpha School. Funds from the England Furniture Annual ADE Golf Scrambles have helped those affected by weather related catastrophes, they assisted in buying school supplies for elementary school students, and the funds generated have helped with the distribution of Christmas baskets to local under-privileged persons. Funds are used to aid the local community and whether they are given to employees or non-employees.

On Thursday, September 18, teams will gather at the Woodlake for two rounds of golf. Lunch will be provided and prizes will be awarded at the end of round two. For half of England Furniture’s existence, this event has been held in late summer to provide a day of friendly competition with industry friends, while, at the same time, assuring that funds will be available to help individuals in our community.

Many thanks to the loyal patrons who supported the Arnold Dwight England Golf Scramble year after year! Fore!
