Summer Time, Summer Hues at Ennis Fine Furniture

Ennis Fine Furniture understands the profound influence that color and texture hold in transforming a home. As summer quickly approaches, it brings with it the opportunity to refresh your interior design to reflect the vibrancy and lightness of the season. A carefully selected palette and a blend of textures can effectively invite the outside in, filling your home with the warmth and brightness of summer.

Summer color palettes often draw inspiration from nature, with hues ranging from bright floral tones to cooling blues, like Sherrill Furniture’s 1329 Lounge Chair in Albert Blue.  Like something that carries forward the blue, but with citrus and oriental-themed tones,  here is the same lounge chair draped in Sherrill’s Akers Blue fabric. Pair these lively colors with neutral tones to create balance and allow the summer shades to stand out.  Gorgeous!

In terms of textures, consider materials that echo the lightness of the season. Light, airy fabrics like cotton or linen on your upholstery or drapes add a breezy, relaxed feel. For your outdoor living areas, consider adding woven or rattan elements like those from Lloyd Flanders, which are not only trendy but also convey a sense of organic warmth that’s perfect for the summer months. The key is to mix and match textures to add depth and interest without overwhelming the space. (If you are not sure where the balance is, please consult one of our Ennis professional design consultants!)

As you revamp your home for summer, it’s important to choose pieces that will endure beyond the season. Century Furniture offers a range of timeless pieces that can effortlessly blend with your summer palette and textures, and beyond. Their well-crafted furniture is highly customizable, pairs beautifully with any design choice, serving as the perfect canvas upon which to display the vibrancy of the season.  We love Century’s furniture for all seasons and purposes, but we especially love their chairs and decorative ottomans this summer.

As summer unfolds, it’s the perfect time to breathe fresh life into your home. We invite you to explore the endless possibilities of seasonal design with our knowledgeable and creative interior designers, who are happy to help assist you. With the right balance of color and texture, you can create a space that captures the essence of summer while maintaining an enduring appeal that transcends seasons.

Come Settle on my Settee

Uncategorized / By

If you’re a furniture enthusiast like we are, every once in a while you’ll run across a piece and start wondering about its origins.  Behold the settee!  We love the name—sounds so much more fancy and French than the oft heard sofa or couch.  So sit a spell and let’s delve deeper into furniture history to find out more shall wee, settee?

The word settee is actually derived from the Old English word setl – a long bench, seat or throne.  See, we knew it sounded rather regal. According to most accounts, before the 1600’s there were just chairs. Then someone got wise and created a longer piece to accommodate more than one person for social seating. In the 1700’s the French got really clever and began adding upholstery, padding, trims and pillows.  Those French, so decadent.

So there you have it. The setl became a settee – which is the precursor to today’s sofa, loveseat, divan, daybed or any other elongated furniture for seating more than one person. Oh, and don’t forget sofette, banquette or bench.

Today’s settees can introduce folksy charm into your room or regal high style.  It all depends on the design lines, finishes or fabrics you choose. A backless settee is usually more modern and minimalist.  A high back with tufting makes a great dining banquette — dress it down with toile or dine to the nines on velvet.  Here are some ideas for using a settee in your home:

-They make an excellent small bench at the entryway

-They’re commonly found in casual, intimate dining areas

-Use at the foot of the bed to take pause while taking your shoes off at the end of the day

-Their smaller scale is also a great space saver in cramped rooms or apartments

-Settees can be used to create a reading nook or small vignette in the corner of a room
