Let’s Embark on a Journey to Experience Your Home

“To be happy at home is the end of all labor.” – Samuel Johnson

We’ve become a nation—and world—of over-achievers. We are multi-taskers, meeting our deadlines with a latte in one hand and a smart phone in the other.   But as our busy 9 to 5 becomes more of a 24-7, we’ve lost something. And the only place we can go to get it back is…home.

At Hooker Furniture, we’ve devoted over 86 years to developing furniture to help your home be that place you can come to at the end of the day to relax and be delighted and renewed. That place where you can welcome friends and family for special occasions, host pajama parties for your son or daughter or solve the world’s problems around the kitchen table.

As part of our mission to enrich your life, we’re launching the “Experience Your Home”  blog.  In this blog, Hooker Furniture insiders and friends will share helpful and heartfelt insights about how to experience your home to the full and get the most out of your home.  We want to help you discover your home’s fullest potential, whether you live in a 750-square-foot urban apartment or a sprawling brick house in the suburbs.  Topics will include :
•    Color and style trends
•    How to understand quality in wood furniture
•    Maximizing your space; managing clutter
•    Enhancing your home theater and gaming experience through furniture
•    Organizing your home office and making it more productive
•     Putting together sophisticated teen bedrooms
•     How to create a feeling of sanctuary in your own home.
•    And many more topics surrounding your home

Occasionally we will splash in interesting personal stories about our company history or “behind the scenes” looks at the design inspiration for developing collections.

Our guest bloggers will include esteemed editors and industry professionals ranging from long-time Better Homes & Gardens and Victoria Editor Nancy Lindemeyer to former Home Furnishings Retailer Editor Trisha Kemerly, and we’ll hear from experts like long-time Home Magazine Editor and Author Gale Steves and Home Office Life Author Lisa Kanarek and Room Planners President Loreen Epp.

We invite you to come along for the journey toward experiencing your home to the full. Let us know what you think about our blog, ideas you would like us to write about and questions you have. This is your community, and it is all about your home.
