At HW Home, we are always looking for excuses to throw a fabulous soirée, and July 4th is the perfect opportunity to impress our party guests. If you want to stand out from the same old BBQs your neighbors are throwing, look no further. Toss out those dollar-store dishes and Solo cups; we have your party essentials covered. Let’s get started!
For the first time at HW Home, we opened a floor set competition to our team of talented creatives. In an attempt to freshen up our thinking and engage with staff, we created the “Spring Floor Design Challenge.”
In the past, a floor set falls on one or two team members and takes weeks to plan. Our Director of Visual Merchandising, John Wright, says that with the addition of the new Fort Collins store, he now has to plan floor designs for four stores; by the time he’s done executing the designs for one season, it’s time to start on the next.
With this epic task in front of him, John came up with the solution to bring other team members on board for the transformation. We tested the design challenge at our Cherry Creek store to see if it was worth expanding to all of our locations. And it was a hit!
Out of the multiple impressive design entries we received, we chose Cathy Kulzer’s. Her entry was full of bold colors and fun textures, which really made the display window stand out. Cathy was responsible for bringing her idea to life by working with the warehouse team and executing the display.
While discussing Cathy’s creative process to create the winning design, she said, “I started with a very fun and fluffy berry red rug then built around it. My vision was to be light, airy, and colorful while keeping with the HW Home style. Using unique pieces like the Butterfly chair, I was able to achieve a winning design.”
Cathy’s vignette is currently on display at our Cherry Creek store through the spring. Stop by for a peek at her winning design, as well as the rest of our new spring collection! Need more inspiration for your own spring renewal? Ask any of our designers about HW Home design services.
Just like you, the team at HW Home loves to spoil our moms and mom-type women in our lives on Mother’s Day. So in honor of the holiday, we wanted to share ideas that are as fabulous, elegant, and thoughtful as our moms deserve.
First rule of motherhood: Long nights and lost sleep. Why not make up for some of the missed slumber you were responsible for with a custom bed that will cradle her in style? HW Home has a lovely selection of custom beds that will lift her spirits even as she winds down for the night. Don’t forget a new mattress and box spring—we offer a selection that just might make up for those 2am feedings!
Wondering what to set beside the bed to show Mom how much you appreciate all her hard work? Fill a basket with a variety of HW Home’s refreshing and renewing bath and body products, one (or four!) of our invigorating candle selections, and a few of our luxurious cotton towels. Finally, to complete the bedside beauty, fill one of our unique vases with a gorgeous spring bouquet. It’ll be like a spa day, every day, in the comfort of her own bedroom—magical and memorable.
Once settled into her new cozy bed, Mom will certainly need additional pampering, including the requisite breakfast in bed. But traditional doesn’t have to mean boring—stretch that menu a bit. Try whipping up traditional Israeli shakshuka. This simple recipe of eggs in tomato sauce is easy to make, beautiful and hearty, and packed with flavor. Remember, presentation is key, so serve your beautiful brunch on our stylish mother of pearl Ellie Hexagon Pattern Tray. And for the love of all mothers, don’t forget the mimosas! With a variety of fruity options, certainly one of these recipes will speak to the most important lady in your life. Bottoms up!
HW Home wishes all the mothers in Colorado and around the world a very happy Mother’s Day and reminds you that ourteam is always here to help you make every occasion special. Contact us to make an appointment today.
Ready for your next summer soirée?
Planning an upscale outdoor gathering can pose a challenge for even the most organized, so HW Home is here to help you get ready, whether it’s a posh and perfect patio party or a fun and fabulous family BBQ. We have a large selection of outdoor furniture, tabletop necessities, and elegant accessories to make your event unforgettable.
No matter your yard space or style preference, HW Home has a furniture set that fits your unique taste and can transform your backyard into a true celebratory oasis. For larger patios and yards, we suggest filling the space with our comfortable Cardiff Three-Piece Sectional. The sectional comfortably accommodates six to eight guests and cleans up easily. If your outdoor space allows it, pair your new sectional with the matching Cardiff Swivel Club Chair to provide your guests with all the coziness of the living room. Don’t forget to grab our colorful throw pillows and throws to add a luxurious touch and match your preferred palette.
We’re thrilled to share our wide array of outdoor table options. Don’t be afraid to mix and match—browse our selection to choose what fits best within your space and style. But if you’re a champion of continuity in your outdoor space, HW Home can help with that, too. We suggest pairing our Cardiff Three-Piece Sectional above with the driftwood resin wicker Coronado Coffee Table. With so many possible combinations, no matter your choices, you can’t go wrong. Each of our tables has a tailored, classic look that will add to the elegance of your yard, patio, porch, or balcony.
Of course, if your outdoor area is on the smaller side, that doesn’t mean you need to skimp on style! Consider adding our rich walnut weave Cardiff Pub Table with matching cushioned seat, along with a few Cardiff Barstools. The casual, compact style of this outdoor furniture fits perfectly everywhere—from modest backyards to high-rise apartment decks. Or, if you’re looking for a more modern style, consider our popular Dearborn Collection. The sleek and robust, fiber-reinforced concrete provides an exciting industrial-inspired foundation for your space while also showcasing your elevated style.
Now that you’ve chosen the furniture, let’s accessorize. An outdoor dinner party can be one of the most elegant affairs you can host, so make your Memorial Day bash memorable. Bring a bit of modern inspiration to your outdoor table with our nature-friendly Bear-Up centerpiece. Created by Carrol Boyes, this tribal piece will definitely be a conversation starter. To complement the pewter and aluminum, add Boyes’s sophisticated chip and dip sculpture. Also made with pewter and aluminum, this piece perfectly highlights the sensuality of the female form. And toss out those plastic cups for a more elegant option. The elegant geometrics and rich metallics of our Gold Ribbons Drinking Glasses will beautifully reflect the candlelight from your table.
And of course, we can’t forget the candles! Natural light casts a magical glow over your backyard once the sun begins to set, so bring an element of nature to your modern table with our elegant Onyx Votive Holders, or throw a pop of color onto your table with our Limoges Tumblers.The tumblers come in a multitude of colors and patterns and elevate the look of any table on a starry evening.
No matter your outdoor style, HW Home has the sparkle you need to turn a bland BBQ into an elegant affair that guests will be talking about all summer. Contact us today for an at-home consultation or stop by one of our stores!
Art is one of the most important features when it comes to decorating. Your home’s artwork conveys elements like personal style, drama, worldliness, and color. But hanging pieces to best effect can be complicated. So today, HW Home co-founder Jim H. is helping out with five easy steps for hanging wall art.
The development of the True line of furniture by HW Home was born out of necessity. After years of curating well-made and well-designed furnishings crafted by our wonderful manufacturers, the buying team at HW Home determined that not all of our customers’ needs were being fully met. In order to fill this void, we set out to create unique, high-quality furniture. In doing so, we have opened up a world of opportunity for our Colorado company, as well as for our customers.
Whether you work from home, regularly telecommute, or just need a place to occasionally extend your workday, we at HW Home understand. We can assist you in designing a creative, comfortable, and stylish space where you can focus on setting and meeting your goals for you and your family. No one-size-fits-all design will work for every customer, and that’s why HW Home offers a wide range of options, from a busy staging area for bill paying, to homework stations, to a cozy, cerebral study devoted to quiet concentration.
Getting into bed at the end of a long day. Does anything feel better? Or how about breakfast in bed on a lazy Saturday morning? These scenarios,and many more, are easy to daydream about when you look at the stunning Eloise bed from HW Home.
Feeling inspired for a “taste” of something new in your home? Kick-off the New Year with a resolution you can accomplish right away: reinvent your dining room with HW Home. You’ll reap the benefits of actual results that you can enjoy for the months ahead – and years to come!
Creating your new dining space is a concentrated, short-term project, which makes it an achievable and satisfying resolution. It sounds ideal…but where do you begin?
We understand that the most overwhelming part of a redecorating resolution is getting started, particularly when it comes to shaking up such an essential space in your home. We recommend finding one piece that inspires you, then letting the room “create” itself around it. HW Home’s dining room collection has everything you need to turn that initial muse – whether it be an elegant centerpiece or rustic dining table – into your greater vision for the entire space.
To get your “creative design” juices flowing, it might help to check out our dining room décor themes. Begin to visualize the direction you might take…Will you go sleek and modern? Old-world, rustic?
Next stop: finding your muse.
Let’s start with the “grand” visionaries. Those who draw inspiration from a larger piece may find it among HW Home’s diverse selection of beautiful, hand-crafted dining tables. In terms of table selection, consider what you have now – perhaps it’s time to go from smooth and round to sharper geometrics, or vice versa. Also, consider the best use of your space; a drop-leaf dining table like this timeless American Cherry could maximize a smaller room for day-to-day use, and prove invaluable when expanded for entertaining.
Of course, you’ll want to complement your dining table with stylish chairs. From classic, reclaimed wood frames to gorgeous, upholstered options, HW Home’s range of dining chairs offers both comfort and flair.
In fact, a patterned dining chair might end up being your starting piece, itself!
Those who reflect in life’s smaller wonders to reveal “the bigger picture” may instead find inspiration among HW Home’s unique and varied home accessories – perhaps your muse is an art piece, lamp, candle, clock…
It may help to draw particular focus to our table top items, which offer the perfect complement to a sophisticated dining space. From stunning glassware to hand painted plates and elegant silverware, the creative possibilities are vast and you’ll make a bold statement in your home. Be sure to check out HW Home’s selection of pieces by Julia Knight, boasting colorful, vibrant platters and bowls with floral inspirations, or savor the opulence of the Italian-inspired Vietri Design glassware line.
Once you find that perfect inspiration piece, it’s full-steam ahead with your “new year, new dining space!” The satisfaction you’ll draw from refreshing and redefining such a central part of your home will pay-off both immediately and in the long-term.
Plus, there’s an added bonus: your “redecorating resolution” can make a difference, right here in Colorado. Learn how HW Home helps find a happy home for your old furniture by partnering with Provider’s Resource Clearinghouse (PRC), a non-profit organization that distributes high-quality refurbished furniture and home goods to help local families in need. That sounds like a pretty worthwhile New Year’s Resolution to us!
So what are you waiting for? The new year is here, and the time is now: your new dining space is just one HW Home inspiration away…
