Autumn is a beautiful time of year in New England, the landscape is ablaze with orange, red, and yellow, and the air is a crisp respite from the summer humidity. Along with autumn comes Thanksgiving. And with Thanksgiving comes family gathering, a hearty meal, and perhaps a little stress. 

If you've hosted Thanksgiving then you know there's a lot to think about, before even considering how you'll lay out the table. 

However, the tablescape, if done in advance, doesn't need to add to your stress. In fact, it can be a creative form of expression and a chance to make the holiday that much more special. Here are some simple ways to adorn your Thanksgiving table and impress your guests.

Metal accents in furniture and décor offer a huge array of options for your home. Metal can add sheen and edginess, an industrial feel, or elegance.

Hand-worked metal adds a touch of craft. Metal can be cast into any shape or figure or decorative genre. It can be black, bronze, silver, copper—or painted any color you choose. The finish can be brushed, shiny, or matte.

Juxtaposed against the softness of fabric, the organic feel of wood, or the transparency of glass, metal provides interesting textual crossroads.

We’re excited to introduce our first ever exclusive collection with American Leather, The Skyler Sofa and the James Sofa. Coming from American Leather, it goes without question that both sofas are high-quality and super comfortable—but are they right for you?

To delve into the details of both sofas, we met up with Stephanie Birchenough, our Merchandiser, to learn more about the style, features, pros, and cons of both.

Accessorizing is generally the last step in the home design process. It's also the step that ties everything together and brings character to the home. Accessorizing is really about bringing your own sense of style and personality into your home. That doesn't mean it can't be overwhelming at times. These simple tips will give you everything you need to accessorize your home without the stress.

When we asked Circle Furniture Visual Merchandiser Brian Bechard for his advice on how to design a foyer, he unhesitantly replied: “Make it clean and clutter free.”

The foyer sits adjacent to your front door, so it’s the first, as well as the last, impression anyone will have of the space you live in.

“Your foyer sets the tone,” says Brian. “You want it to be beautiful and welcoming.”

If you’re a mid-century modern aficionado, then you’ve probably heard of Thayer Coggin. Founded in 1953, the iconic brand remains a pillar of the mid-century modern style nearly 70 years later.

We spoke with our Pembroke team to learn more about the brand, the key style features, and their favorite picks out of the collection.

The early stages of the interior design process tend to be the most important. They’re also the most difficult to navigate. It’s hard to imagine the final product when you’re staring at a blank canvas. That’s where an in-home design consultation comes into play. Some call it a home visit or a house call, but what it boils down to is an interior design expert who comes into your home, takes measurements, and creates a beautiful room plan. Here at Circle Furniture, we offer free design services and as well as complimentary home visits if they’re applicable for your project.
