FAQs at Wallaroo’s!
You asked and we listened! Listed below are 20 of our frequently asked questions at Wallaroo’s from all of YOU! There’s a lot that goes into making Wallaroo’s tick and we’re always trying to find better ways to connect and assist our lovely customers. Policies and options available to you when shopping at Wallaroo’s Q. Do you offer Financing? A. First of all, let’s talk about what financing is. Financing furniture is when you take out a loan from a third party that you agree to pay back over time. At Wallaroo’s, we offer financing through two different third-party vendors, Acima and Synchrony. Synchrony is a long-term, interest-free financing option with monthly payments. Customers that go with this option pay $35 a month for a $1,000 or less purchase. Purchases over $1,000 have a monthly payment of 3.5% of payment. Synchrony works similarly to a credit card. All you have to do is apply for and get approved! Acima is a no credit needed option, with a one year term and a 90 days, same as cash option. Customers pay $54 down and get approved for a one year loan that is to be paid off within one year. Regardless of the price tag on our furniture, we understand that new furniture is still something that not everyone can justify spending their savings on. Financing is an amazing option for those who would prefer to make smaller payments over time, rather than one lump sum. Check out our financing blog for more info! Q. What Sectionals do you have? A. We LOVE sectionals here at Wallaroo’s! You may hear us reference “L-shaped”, “U-shaped”, and “Modular sectionals” all the time, but let’s break down what that means! For the most part, it’s fairly self-explanatory. L-Shaped sectionals are in the shape of an “L”, so they have seat cushions like a regular sofa, but at the end, there is a long chaise that is great for lounging! A few of our favorite L-shaped sectionals are the Atlas, the Wright, and the Cracken! U-shaped sectionals are shaped like a “U”, so there are two chaises, one on each side. These types of sectionals are great for cozy living rooms and dens! They are large and can fit the whole family! We love the kid-friendly Vincent, the Brooklyn, and the Barbados! A sectional is modular when all the pieces are separate and can be moved around in different arrangements! With modular sectionals, you can make it fit your room! It could be L-shaped, U-shaped, or a cube, or whatever you want! If you like the idea of a modular sectional, check out the Bliss, or the Scott! Q. I want matching furniture for my living room? What options do you have? A. If you love the idea of having matching furniture in your living room, a 3-2-1 set would be awesome for you! 3-2-1 sets are a matching sofa, loveseat, and chair. At Wallaroo’s, you can buy them separately or together! If you only want a sofa and a chair you can do that! We have lots of different options for 3-2-1 sets, but one of our favorites is the Bailee! The Bailee comes in linen upholstery or top-grain leather upholstery! Want to see more options! Check out all of our 3-2-1 sets on our website! Q. How does Delivery Work? A. We do offer delivery! For destinations within 15 miles, our delivery fee is $75, anything beyond 15 miles costs an extra $3.50/mile. Along with delivery, you have the option of having our guys set up your new wallaroo’s furniture, as well as haul away the old stuff. If you’d like your furniture set-up by our delivery team, the cost is an additional $45. Q. What fees are there when I head in to buy my furniture? A. At Wallaroo’s, there are no hidden fees when you’re purchasing your new furniture. The price you see is the price you pay. We do offer additional services such as haul away, set-up and delivery that with accrue added fees, but those are all completely optional! Q. Do you ship? A. We sure do! Shipping is available for most products, but not all of them. (For example, The Egg Chair is pretty hard to ship far away but The Bliss…. No problem! All of our furniture ships out from one of our PNW warehouses directly to your home via a ground carrier. The best way to get your specific shipping quote worked up is by contacting a sales rep who can get you a shipping timeline as well as an estimate based on the address we will be shipping to! Most sofas and sectionals can be shipped with no problem. Over the next few months, we will be rolling out shipping on our website too! Unfortunately, at this time we do not ship to Canada or Alaska. Q. Are you opening more stores in 2021? A. YES! We are so excited to be able to reach more customers and expand our store locations this year. 2020 was an exciting year for Wallaroo’s with a bunch of new products and in 2021 we are heading to Utah and expanding our reach around the PNW! Look for Wallaroo’s in the SLC area in just a few months! Q. What is your stock like at each store? A. When you walk into a Wallaroo’s store what you will see will be slightly different at each location. Overall the sofas and sectionals will be the same, but there will be variants in our mattress stock and some unique items from store to store. Fortunately, transfers are available between stores and our sales staff is awesome and communicating with each other between our locations! Q. Where are you located? A. Currently, we have locations all over the PNW. We will be expanding to Utah early in 2021 and more in Montana and Idaho as well. We have our flagship store in downtown Spokane currently located at 1001 N. Division. We also have stores in north Spokane, Spokane Valley, Boise, CDA, and Missoula. For a full list of store addresses and business hours check out our locations page on our website! Q. What are your hours? A. Our hours can be found here. Generally, our stores are open from 10-7 Monday through Saturday and 11-7 on Sunday. We are offering private shopping appointments due to the ongoing pandemic. If you’d be interested in setting up a private shopping experience you can text us at 509-241-3212 to set it up! Q. How do I get in contact with your store to learn more about an item? A. Great question. We have made it super easy to get in touch with a sales rep with any questions you may have about a purchase. One option is through our website and in the bottom right corner there is a chat bubble, this chat feature will get you directly texting with an in-store rep who can help you complete your purchase over the phone, by text, or in person. If you have questions you can always message us in our DM’s on Instagram or Facebook. Our marketing team will be there to assist you or point you in the right direction. Of course, the best way to get your questions answered and see the product yourself is to come and visit us in person at one of our SIX locations. Nothing beats taking a seat on the couch of your dreams! Though, we know if you’re not local that may not always be an option. Fortunately, we make ourselves very available for customers in the Dm’s and through our messaging app on our website. Sales reps can send pictures of pieces or videos to help you get a full understanding of the product. Another great way to research a piece you may be interested in is by looking it up on our website. There you can see prices, specs, and information about the construction of the product! Need a customer service issue taken care of? Message us through the chat feature on our website and we’ll get ya taken care of! Q. How long of a wait until I can get my furniture? A. Here is the best news you’ll hear all week. Because we manufacture our own furniture line, we have all the products in our warehouses ready to be shipped or delivered to you. We control when we get the product in and how we make it. This allows us to have an incredible turn around time. Where other retailers have to wait to have the product made for them or shipped to them by a third party, Wallaroos has your real sofa in a real warehouse right here in the PNW. Some pieces you can leave the store with the day you pick it out and others are just a few days turnaround time for delivery. Shipping estimates can be given to you by a sales representative and every now and then we may have a product on pre-order if it sells out too fast (I’m looking at you Yoko and Bliss) Value, furniture specs, and service, OH MY! Q. How do I know the value is there? A. One of the best ways to know the value is there is by checking out the competition. I know that sounds weird for us to tell you to shop around at other furniture stores, but that’s just because we know you’ll find prices are much higher for furniture that is not any higher quality. When buying furniture, you should do your research and know what you’re looking at. One important thing to look for when deciding if the value is there is knowing what the furniture is made out of. At Wallaroo’s, we use high-quality materials such as top-grain leather, high-density foam cushions, kiln-dried hardwood frames, German Okin motors, and more. None of that means much if you’re not in the know, so let’s break it down! Top-grain leather is essentially full-grain leather, except the top couple millimeters have been sanded down to give it a softer, more uniform look and feel. Top-grain leather is considered the best for furniture because it allows for a uniform look that’s still natural and authentic. It is also incredibly durable due to being cut from a solid piece of leather rather than being bonded and corrected. High-density foam cushions provide extra support and are designed to return to their original shape, so your cushions won’t sag. They are also built to last, compared to a lower density cushion that will break down and sag much faster. Kiln-dried hardwood frames are considered top-of-the-line and have been a long-standing selection in durable sofas. By drying the wood in a kiln, roughly 90-95% of the moisture in the wood is removed, preventing warping, and bowing. German Okin Motors are used in our powered reclining furniture. They are very high quality and wont go out over time. But don’t take our word for it! Check out some of your customer reviews! Q. How is your furniture so affordable? A. We have a super unique business model here at Wallaroo’s. We’re able to keep our furniture so affordable because we design all of our pieces in house, We have our own warehouse, and we work directly with our manufacturers. This allows us to cut out the middleman. Other furniture companies purchase their furniture from retailers who purchase from manufacturers, we don’t deal with retailers for 90% of your products, which allows us to keep prices down. We do this because we believe everyone should be able to have beautiful furniture that is quality and comfortable in their home. It should never be too expensive to be able to surround yourself with pieces you love. We are very passionate about this, and are always working to keep prices as low as we can! Q. How do I know if I will like my sofa if I can’t see it in person? A. We also love chatting with customers online to help ease their decision on what sofa is right for them! If you don’t have a local Wallaroo’s near you and aren’t able to see our selection in person, you can always reach out to our sales staff over social media, or on our website! If you click the chat bubble at the bottom of the screen on the website you will be connected directly with a sales member that can text with you in real-time to discuss your wants and needs. We are also happy to send more photos, videos, and information about any piece you’re interested in! Plus, if you just aren’t happy with your new sofa after getting it, you can find our return policy listed within the description of each item on our website. Q. What is the best option if I have pets? A. For all our pet-lovers out there, the Yoko is for you! This sofa is tested to withstand the love of pets. It’s made of a microsuede upholstery that pet hair won’t stick to which is also super durable to claws won’t puncture or scratch. It’s also low-profile so your furry friends can easily jump up and cuddle with you. Q. What is the best option if I have kids? A. Our favorite sofa for families with kids would have to be the Vincent! This U-shaped sectional is bottom-heavy, so your rambunctious kids won’t tip the couch over when they’re jumping around. It’s also easy to clean, and nice and large so the whole family can comfortably enjoy a movie night. Read all about the VIncent in our blog! We also have a new sectional that just joined the Wallaroo’s family! The Monica Slipcover Sofa is perfect for kids that always tend to find ways to make a mess! All of the base and cushions covers are completely removable and machine washable, so you never have to worry about scrubbing stains out of the most inconvenient places. Q. What is your direct from India line? A. Our Direct from India line is a unique set of furniture made one of a kind for Wallaroo’s customers. Each piece is handcrafted in Jaipur, India, and made with reclaimed materials. The pieces are super solid, durable, and incredibly unique. From TV stands to nightstands, console tables to bookshelves, the amazing pieces are ever being refreshed in store each time we receive a new shipment! Because each of the pieces is one of a kind and unique there will be a different selection in each of our locations. Want to read more about the Direct from India line check out this blog! Want to see some of the pieces we have? You can always DM us and we’ll send you over some pictures from the store! Plus, Check out our blog about our Direct from India Line! Q. Is an Overstock Mattress as good as a mattress from another Mattress store? A. YES! An Overstock Mattress is going to be the exact same brand new name brand mattress that you would get at another mattress store, just at a much lower price. How? That is probably what you’re asking. Well because of our unique business model we are able to offer you the same product without the markup you may see at a traditional mattress store. We negotiate the lowest prices possible for our customers and always deliver a quality product! All Overstock mattresses are still brand new! Check them out on our website! Q. Why Wallaroo’s? A. Wallaroo’s is a locally owned and operated furniture brand. We are able to bring customers the lowest prices in the world because we manufacture the furniture ourselves. Unlike other major furniture retailers, we cut out the middleman and are bringing you exactly the product we created. From the Wallaroo’s owners Nathan and Bailee picking out upholstery and designing the construction of the piece with their manufacturers to the personalized experience you get as a customer with us, Wallaroo’s brings you quality furniture at amazing prices. All with a big smile and easy financing options! Let one of our highly skilled sales professionals help you find the perfect sofa or piece of furniture for your home.

The Walla-crew hard at work
The Walla-crew is hard at work all across the Northwest! You may ask yourself, “what’s it like to work at the world’s best furniture store?” Well, we’re here to answer that undying question that keeps you up at night! It’s the best. The growth potential, the family-like work culture, the endless support from all team members, all add to an all-around awesome work environment. We’ve told the story of how Wallaroo’s came to be, but we’ve neglected to explain the job positions, and roles each of us play to successfully run an multi-state furniture business. This is not a one-man job– in fact, that would be physically impossible to operate at the level we do without the amazing team of people we have on the frontlines, as well as behind the scenes. To break it down a bit easier, let’s focus on four main segments of Wallaroo’s company. We have the marketing team, the sales team, the delivery team, and the back-end production team. Magnificent Marketing Team The marketing team consists of six primary members. We have our badass boss lady, Bailee. Our Director of Marketing, Taylor. Tiffany and Izzy, our two social media coordinators and content extraordinaires. Alicia, our amazing photographer, and Wes, our killer videographer! We are growing our in-house marketing team because we like to keep it real and give our customers a really personal experience. The marketing team started off at the beginning of 2020 with Taylor, and has grown to what it is now in just over a year! Over the past year, we’ve been working on the development of the website, growing our social media presence, publishing a bi-monthly blog and newsletter, and so much more! We love getting the opportunity to bring you gorgeous photos, awesome videos, entertaining content, and information about Wallaroo’s products! Stay tuned for so much more from the marketing team! Super Duper Sales Team Next up we have our super-duper sales team! Each of our stores are staffed with amazing folks that work tirelessly to assist customers on a daily basis. Between our six stores (and three more on the way!) We have a great group of dedicated team members that are always striving to offer unbeatable customer service. From being available via text, DM, and answering phone calls to keeping our showroom floors looking beautiful and helping customers find the perfect sofa, our sales staff does it all! They are the face of Wallaroo’s, the smiles you see when you walk into the store, and the group that keeps Wallaroo’s going! This team is a vital part of the company, and the rest of us couldn’t do what we do without them! Darn Good Delivery Team Did you know that Wallaroo’s has the best delivery team in the whole world? Yep, it’s true, we do! We are incredibly lucky to have this amazing group of people the ensure the seamless delivery of our precious cargo! It’s important to us and that our customers have a positive experience from beginning to end when shopping at Wallaroo’s. Our delivery team does just that! One of the most difficult parts of buying new furniture for people is often figuring out how they are going to get it home and into their house. We offer delivery services as well as set-up and haul-away. Our team can help you get your old furniture out of the way and get your new stuff set up and ready to go for you! Next time you’re in any of our six stores, be sure to ask about delivery services! Bad Ass Bosses Lastly, we have our upper-level production team! Nathan started Wallaroo’s just as a weekend side-gig for him back in college. Now, six years and dozens of employees later it has grown into a full-service, high producing multi-state company! Nathan and Bailee are Wallaroo’s owners, and they work tirelessly to connect with overseas manufacturers to make our products. They cultivate these relationships with manufacturers so that Wallaroo’s can continue operating the unique business model we have. Other furniture stores work through retailers. Retailers buy furniture from manufacturers and sell it to furniture stores after marking up the prices. At Wallaroo’s, we cut out the middleman and buy direct from the manufacturers. This allows us to keep prices low, customize our products, and offer amazing high-quality pieces. Nathan and Bailee design and pick out upholstery, color, and materials for each piece of furniture. Our manufacturers then make and ship containers full of products to our warehouses. Having our own warehouses are another way we can keep prices down, we don’t have to pay for storage space. Each of these different teams of people have very different responsibilities, but we are all working towards one goal; to offer the best service and most valuable shopping experience to our customers. Wallaroo’s is growing at a fast pace, and we have such big dreams for what this company could someday look like. We absolutely could not do what we do without supportive and loyal customers. At the end of the day, it’s you that makes the biggest difference.

New in Town – Wallaroo’s Coming to Salt Lake City
So, it’s official! There’s a new Wallaroo in town… actually, there’s three!! Get ready Utah, we’re coming! We’ve announced that we’ll be coming to the Salt Lake City area, but we are actually opening up THREE NEW STORES in Utah! We could not be more excited about this opportunity to expand. Our dream of Wallaroo’s being a nationwide company is one state closer! Now that all that’s out in the open, we wanted to take you all through the process of what it takes to open a new store. A lot of time and energy goes into this process. Scouting out locations, hiring staff members, targeting marketing towards the new area, and so much more. It’s no easy feat, but it’s one that we happily take on and make it happen! Scouting Locations The first step in opening a new store is selecting a location. For now, Wallaroo’s is a Northwest Furniture brand with locations in Washington, Idaho, Montana. Expanding into Utah was a logical next choice for many reasons, the biggest being it’s an easy stop to add to our shipping route. Currently, our products all arrive in Spokane and are then split into different trucks going to CDA, Boise, and Missoula. From Boise, dropping down into Utah and then circling back around up to Spokane was a smart move for ease of shipment transportation. We also select certain locations is because product demand. A growing location like Salt Lake City means a lot of people will need furniture! We also think it’s a pretty cool place. Bailee, Wallaroo’s co-owner, grew up in Utah and has wanted to bring Wallaroo’s there for years. Bailee believes that in the future, Utah could sustain 6-8 Wallaroo’s stores, so at three stores, we’re just getting started! The rate at which Utah is growing made it a simple decision; we needed to see what Utah’s all about! Adding to the Walla-crew Hiring staff members in our new locations is another crucial part of opening a successful store. Our sales staff, delivery teams, and store managers are top-notch at each location. Keeping that dedicated staffing mindset in every new store is super important. We love getting to promote from within the company, so each of our managers are hired from our existing staff. We have an awesome hiring team that meets, interviews, and brings new folks onto the team, making sure it’s a good fit for everybody. On top of that, Nathan and Bailee temporarily move to each new location for the first few months to ensure everything runs smoothly. Check out our Walla-crew blog about the various teams at Wallaroo’s to get a better idea of what each of our job responsibilities include, and what it’s like working for the world’s best furniture store! Marketing Shenanigans Here’s where the marketing team comes in to target our markets and expand our audience. (If you’re reading this, our efforts are paying off 😉). Having an in-house marketing team is fairly unique for a furniture company, but we believe cultivating lasting relationships in all areas of business is beneficial for everyone. We’ve recently made some substantial changes to our marketing tactics. One thing we’re doing now is focusing on the company as a whole, and pushing marketing all over the Western US. Now that we’re expanding into Utah we are working on building those relationships and friendships with Utah folks, and spreading awareness of our brand. We’re all about creating connections, and we love getting to partner with other individuals and brands to bring value to our audiences! Getting into influencer marketing is something we’ve been working on, and finding those people that love our products, and want to work with us has been a really fun experience all around. (Real Housewives of Salt Lake, if you’re reading this, hit us up…) Wallaroo's: Coming to a town near you! Of course, this is a paired-down version of what actually goes into opening a store. There’s a lot of prepping and planning that goes into making it all happen. If we got into all the nitty-gritty details you might be bored to death! Signing leases, interview scheduling, and all that is the less glamorous side of opening new stores. Opening another store has been in the works for the past 6 months. After one possibility fell through unexpectedly, we went full steam ahead with Utah. We are SO proud of the incredible growth we’re seeing, and the vast potential ahead! We can’t wait to see you, Utah!

Business to Business Love – Cultivating Relationships
One of the best parts about doing business locally and on a wide-scale level is getting to interact and form relationships with other businesses, near and far. Supporting other businesses and sharing the love is something we are super excited about doing here at Wallaroo’s. We’re all about relationships and connections. Whether that be business to business, or with our own customers, we strive to also put people first. Connecting with others As a furniture company, we love getting to interact with other businesses in the industry. Home supply stores, artists, creators, really anyone who cares about homes, furniture, and interior design. Whether our connection is in the way of purchasing products, partnering up for giveaways, teaming up with influencers, or purchasing other businesses’ products to show our support. We’re inspired by others and love supporting where we can. Partnering with brands We connect with people in a few different ways. In some cases, we supply their products in our stores, such as King Koil Mattresses and Anchored Northwest Candles. These companies have products that we love and want to share with others. By bringing them into our own stores we are forming those business-to-business relationships and sharing them with our customers. Hosting giveaways is another way we like to help support our brand and the other companies’ brands. Currently, we have a giveaway going on that might just be the best one yet! We teamed up with King Koil to offer a brand new SmartLife Lotus mattress to the winner of the giveaway. This is a top-of-the-line mattress and is so luxurious. Be sure to enter the giveaway, and check out the YouTube video we posted of Karley, our sales staff member talking about all the amazing aspects of the mattress! We’ve also hidden Anchored Northwest Candles in our stores during our weekly Instagram and Facebook Live videos to offer an exciting surprise for the finder of the candle. Getting to do these fun things gets our staff and our customers excited. It also allows us to form lasting connections with other businesses! Supporting other businesses Another way we connect with other companies is by purchasing products. A few weeks ago we wanted to show our support to amazing artists and brands that make and sell products we love. We follow these companies on social media but wanted to show them off in a bigger way. We decided to purchase different pieces of artwork and items from various companies and display them in a photoshoot with one of our egg chairs. This was such a fun project for us and it also created a stronger relationship with the brands we featured! The brands we bought products from and chose to feature in this photoshoot are Effortless Composition, Expedition Subsahara, and Safavieh. (P.S. keep your eyes peeled for a super special giveaway of these items we purchased!) Working with influencers Connecting with influencers is another way we like forming relationships and expanding our brand into new areas. Partnering with social media influencers is beneficial for both parties. For us, we get our name out there with a new crowd which allows us to ultimately connect with more people. Creating a partnership with influencers greatly progresses both brands. Social media is a really unique tool for businesses to utilize. Algorithms are down to a science depending on the various platforms. There are a lot of tactical techniques that go into successfully using social media for business purposes. Despite all of that, when you break it down, it’s all about people. Cultivating those friendships and bringing value to people’s lives is what really matters and is the goal we are all trying to achieve. Putting people first We believe the best way to bring value to others and expand brand awareness is by keeping our core beliefs and culture top of mind at all times. At Wallaroo’s, it is always our biggest priority to put people first. Whether that be our customers, our team members, our social media friends, or other brands– it’s people that we care about more than anything else. We’re always looking to form friendships and connect with new people, so be sure to check out our website and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok! We’re pumping out tons of content these days and are having a ton of fun experimenting with what works and what doesn’t. That’s the cool thing about having an in-house marketing team in an industry where that’s fairly uncommon. We’re just figuring it out as we go, and we hope you’ll join along for the journey!

Design Your Life – 4 Great Styles for the Bliss Sectional
If you know Wallaroo’s, you know how much we love our Bliss Sectional. It’s comfy and cozy, it’s modular and practical for families of any size. We have three different colors and two different sizes. Best of all? It fits in with ANY style. Seriously, we’ve tested it. Ever wanted some inspiration for how you’d style your Wallaroo’s Bliss Sectional? Well, here ya go! We’ll show you the Bliss Sectional styled five ways. We have so much fun playing around with different styles and vibes. Searching for inspiration anywhere we can find it, and getting to do stylized photoshoots with various products has been a really fun adventure the past year or so. We also love getting to see how Wallaroo’s customers have styled their furniture. Real people living on their Wallaroo’s furniture is something we get so excited about seeing. We wanted to highlight five of our favorite styles, and how you could achieve that look with the Bliss! It’ll be a mix of Our own photoshoots, and some of our customers’ photos from their own homes, keep reading to check it out! Boho Boho Inspo. Yup, we’re boho lovers around here. When trying to get that boho vibe you have to throw the rulebook out the window. There aren’t any rules when it comes to a boho style. You can go the light, airy, calming route, or the bright, colorful, exotic route. Boho is all about layering colors and textures, tying in accent pieces, and bringing life to the room you’re styling. This photo of Taylor Vasek’s boho-styled white Bliss sofa plays on the bright lighting, accenting with plants, textured throw pillows, colorful blankets, warm light fixtures, and a funky rug! He did an AMAZING job styling his Bliss, and we love getting to see how he fit his new sofa into his home. Utah Vibes / Neutral Minimalist PERFECTION Okay, we were trying to come up with a name for this next style. We need a name to describe that neutral-toned, cozy style that everybody’s trying to achieve these days. A few names tossed around were Pottery Barn chic? Utah Style? Neutral/minimalist style? We decided to go with Utah Vibes (maybe because we’re currently obsessed with Utah.) This is the look all the influencers go after, and a style that truly looks amazing in every home. The Bliss fits right in with this style. Muted, neutral tones allow for occasional pops of color with accents, plants, and art. We styled our beloved white Bliss with a couple of large plants, a neutral throw pillow and blankets, and an ottoman tray with decorative pieces and another plant. This particular style plays on cooler tones, but could also be warmed up a bit more. The Bliss could be arranged differently to allow for a coffee table, or an accent chair to bring some more movement in. We love the way the various hues all compliment each other well and aren’t stealing the show! Southwestern Up next is what we refer to as Southwestern style! This includes lots of warm tones, and lighting, chunky, natural wood accent furniture, wall art, and of course, a wide-brim hat! Can’t get that Southwestern look without a big ol’ hat. These photos taken by Alicia Hauff of a home staged by Jess Nicole Gilrein are an amazing example of Southwestern style. Southwestern style is easy to spot by its earthy tones and rough textures. An Aztec style rug, terra cotta and orange tone, and woven fabric accentuate a Southwestern styled room very nicely. The warmth and rustic feel is hard to miss, which makes the Southwestern-style such a beautiful, popular option for home design. Cottage Core Lastly, we have Cottage Core. When you think of Cottage core you may think of Taylor Swift’s newest albums, or maybe your grandmother. Picture: western lifestyle and peaceful living. I think of gardening, baking bread, making my own clothes, flowery plates, that kind of thing. So you may be wondering how baked bread is associated with the Wallaroo’s RH Bliss… Well, my dear reader, fashion, design, and aesthetic is EVERYTHING! Cottage Core can be associated with farmhouse style with a twist. When trying to style your home with Cottage Core design you’ll want to focus on simplicity, embracing nature, and channeling vintage-y vibes. Lots of floral patterns, vintage accent furniture, soft, warm textures, and rustic pieces will all contribute toward achieving a Cottage Core vibe. So have we proved it to you? That the Bliss is truly the most versatile sofa you may ever find? If these five vastly different styles have shown you anything, it’s that the Bliss can truly find its place in any home. No matter your aesthetic or style, the Bliss could be right for you! How would you choose to style yours?
