DESIGN GUIDE

Klingman's Furniture & Design offers a talented group of designers with extensive education and experience. Though most have specialized areas of interest, all are committed to assisting Klingman’s customers in creating spaces that reflect their lifestyles and needs.

In 1896 Mr. Phillip Klingman founded the Klingman Sample Furniture Company which sold furniture samples to the public at discounted prices in the largest furniture display building in America at the time. Throughout the years, Klingman’s Furniture has been passed on through families committed to upholding the Klingman’s name and standards.

Klingman’s furniture & Design is the oldest, operating full service interior design and home furniture retailer in West Michigan with service to our customers for over 125 years. We offer dozens of furniture, decor and accessory brands to suit our client’s style and budget.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INVESTMENT

There is a lot to consider when you’re on the hunt for the perfect pieces. Questions like, “How much do I want to spend?” and “Can I stay within my budget without sacrificing quality?” might be swirling in your mind. And, of course, you might wonder why one sofa costs so much more than another.

At Klingman’s Furniture & Design, we’re all about making sure you get the best quality within your budget so you never have to compromise on style or durability.

What does quality really mean?

Good: Great quality at an affordable price. Perfect for those on a tighter budget.

Better: A step up in construction and options, more choices in finishes and styles.

Best: Often hand-made craftsmanship with premium materials & customizable options.

Why the Price Difference?

Materials: The type of wood other materials used can make a big difference.

Craftsmanship: Hand-made pieces generally cost more than mass-produced.

Customization: More finish options and the ability to personalize your furniture.

For example, a “good” nightstand might come in just a couple of finishes, while a “best” nightstand offers a variety of finishes, customization options, and unique details like handpainted designs. And when it comes to construction, a “good” dresser might use basic techniques, while a “best” dresser features strong, durable English-dovetail joints.

You can absolutely find beautiful, quality furniture within your budget. At Klingman’s, we offer a wide range of manufacturers and styles to suit any taste and budget.

WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?

Have you ever wondered what design style is right for your and your home?

Maybe you want to switch up your style but can’t decide which direction?

Our professional interior designers can assist you in uncovering your personal interior style by guiding you through a process of exploration and discovery. We will carefully listen to your preferences, lifestyle needs, and aspirations for your space along with taking a look at inspiration images.

Through expert advice, visual presentations, and discussions, We will translate your vision into a cohesive and personalized design plan that enhances the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your home.

Traditional design draws its inspiration from 18th & 19th Century England and France. This explains why it’s common to find textiles like silk, velvet, and linen used everywhere from upholstery to window treatments.

Modern design refers to a specific time period, the early to mid 20th century. Due to the mix of Scandinavian, mid-century modern, and post-modern design, you’ll find clean lines and crisp textiles.

Transitional design is what we like to call the happy medium of interior design styles. This is the style for you if traditional design is too stuffy, but contemporary is too out of your comfort zone.

Eclective design is characterized by different key features. Think of it as a high-energy collection of carefully selected pieces from an array of styles, brought together to create a culture rich interior.

Modern farmhouse style has many characteristics of what we know as traditional farmhouse design. On the other hand, things become more simplified and clean without losing their character.

Contemporary design style will most likely continue to change over the course of the twenty-first century. It embraces a mix of textures and styles, along with neutral color palettes paired with bold accents.

Coastal spaces are influenced by the natural beach environment. This can be seen through the airy color palette down to the relaxed materials and nautical accents used in furniture and accessories.

Mid-century Modern interiors started in the 1950s and ’60s in post-war America. During this time the design industry was trying to break out of its traditional barriers and dive into the modern era.

Industrial design style loves the art of exposed pipes and beams. Materials like brick and concrete are a great way to give the space a lot of character. Its masculine tendencies are tamed with the use of ample texture.

Here are some things to consider :

WHERE TO BEGIN before

Does the space serve distinct functions?

Is the space multi-purpose? (guest room + study)

Are there items that must stay in certain rooms?

Who will be living in this space?

Are there pets in the home?

The Klingman’s Design team doesn’t just arrange furniture. We are experts at crafting spaces that you'll love to live in and interact with, making sure every area serves its purpose beautifully.
