Ashley Furniture Style Your Home: A Real World Guide

We'll show you how to style your home in a thoughtful (and realistic) way with Ashley Furniture. Room by room, we will give you just enough information to make the right choices.
1. Take a look at the big picture: What is your style?
All of us love scrolling through trend posts, but do you really like modern industrial or just saw it on your friends' feeds? Ask yourself, before you go furniture shopping, what you want your room to feel like.
Ashley Furniture can make this process easier than you think. They have a wide range of styles, from farmhouse-style to contemporary to minimalist to elegant. You may end up mixing several.
You may love the modern lines, but want something more inviting and soft. Maybe you want a beachy look with weathered woods and a relaxed coastal vibe. Ashley offers all that and more.
You can mix and match. Mixing is allowed. You can be indecisive. You're allowed to be undecided.
2. Living Room - The Heart of It All
Most people begin here, and for good reasons. The living room is the heart of your home. Your living room is where you enjoy your morning coffee, entertain guests, relax after work and binge watch your favorite shows.
Ashley's living rooms are designed for everyday life. There are sectionals that you can stretch out in, recliners that hug you and accent chairs with personality that don't overwhelm the room.
Unsure where to start? Anchor the room by using a neutral couch. Layer in texture - maybe a leather ottoman, or a woven blanket. A bold area rug, or metallic side table can add contrast. And don't overlook lighting. One floor lamp can change the mood in a room.
Personally? I avoided recliners in the past because I believed they were outdated. After sitting in the newer Ashley models at an Ashley showroom, my opinion changed instantly. Comfort can win out sometimes, and it should.
3. Dining Room: A Place to Share Meals and Memories
Your dining area should be welcoming, whether you are preparing a last-minute meal or hosting an event.
Ashley Furniture offers a wide range of dining sets, from small bistro-style tables for breakfast nooks up to large formal arrangements with extendable leaves.
Match your dining room style with the rest of your home. A wood-finished dining table and upholstered chairs are a good choice if your living room is rustic. Try glass or stone surfaces that have clean lines and little fuss for a modern look.
Bar carts, sideboards and buffets aren't just extras. They can be a game changer when it comes time to host or organize. What if you had a sideboard that held your table linens and wine glasses? Yes, please.

4. Bedroom: Your personal retreat
Let's talk about bedrooms. We often treat the bedroom as an afterthought. Throw in a bed, maybe a small nightstand and call it good. This is where you begin and end your day. It deserves attention.
Ashley Furniture has complete bedroom sets to take the guesswork and confusion out of decorating. You can also mix and match. Pair a bold headboard with a wooden dresser. Keep it simple for a calm, clean feel.
If you don't have much closet space, storage beds can be a great solution. They also hide things that you don't need to see, like extra blankets, winter clothing, or the random yoga mat.
Oh--and mattresses. Do not skip this section. Ashley's mattresses are good. Choose a mattress that will support your back while also fitting your budget. Sleep is important.
5. Home Office: Style and Productivity in the Office
Remote work? Side hustle? Game setup? Homework station or gaming setup? Homework station?
Ashley Furniture helps you create a space which is inspiring without being cold or clinical. Think of simple desks that have built-in cable management and comfy chairs (but supportive).
Go minimalist if you thrive in a clutter-free, calm environment. If you enjoy visual stimulation, decorate your walls with vision boards, art or plants. Start with a layout for your workspace that you enjoy sitting in.
It's a place you will spend many hours. Enjoy it.
6. Outdoor Patio: Bring your Indoors out
Florida's weather practically demands a comfortable outdoor area. Ashley offers pieces that can withstand sun, rain and time.
Two chairs that are durable and a firepit can completely transform your patio. You can also go big with a table and umbrella to host a weekend cookout. A loveseat or bench can be used in smaller areas like side yards or balconies.
No, you do not have to compromise style for durability. Ashley's furniture for the outdoors is just as stylish as their indoor pieces. It is built to withstand the elements, which is important in Tampa.
7. Bonus: Tips on How to Stay Cohesive
After you have mentally walked through your home, here are a few tips to help tie it all together.
-
Keep to a basic color palette. Keep your colors in the same family.
-
Don't overcrowd. More furniture doesn't mean more style. Let your room breathe.
-
Add your own personal touch. The addition of art, pillows, plants, books and other decorative items can make a big difference. Let your home reflect who you are.
-
Try out the pieces. Visit a showroom if possible. Sit down on the couch. Drawers should be pulled out. Imagine using this piece daily.
