Why are Beds so Important?

Beds are Important for Memory

Beds play a vital role in how much and how well we sleep. While your mattress plays the largest part in the grand scheme of things, bed frames are important, too. 

Our bodies require sleep to do a broad range of activities. Muscle repair and development, toxin removal, hormone synthesizing, all occur when we rest our bodies for long periods. Another thing that happens is that our brains log memories during a process referred to as consolidation

Memory consolidation helps deal with all the information that our minds take in over the course of a day. There is a massive amount of data that our senses take in that, during the night, our brains will convert from short-term memory to long-term. While there are exceptions, since the brain is a complicated organ, for most people, this means that when you are well rested, you retain more information from the previous day. 

Losing Sleep is Unhealthy

This title may seem like an obvious statement, but some people may underestimate the vital function of sleep and the benefits of being well rested. Length of time spent sleeping and the quality of sleep play a huge role in how well your mind retains memories and your body repairs and recharges itself. Depending on your age, a human will need more or less sleep. The younger you are, the more sleep you need since everything is still developing. Losing sleep can lead to deprivation that negatively affects the body and brain. While it can slightly help, trying to recover lost hours of rest won't be as helpful as you might think. In the long run, maintaining a consistent schedule will help you stay charged and ready for what life throws at you.

Scheduling is not the only thing to consider when it comes to healthy amounts of sleep. Mattress and bed quality are highly important in the equation of being well-rested. If your mattress is old and is not providing the proper support or if your bed frame is creaky and makes so much noise it disturbs your rest, you need to think about purchasing new ones.

Why are They Called "Throw PIllows"?

Where did Throw Pillows Get Their Name?


Cell phones are a significant technological advancement when you take the time to think about them. You have the world's information at the tips of your fingers. You can look up anything you want to know about and in a few seconds, it is right in the palm of your hand. When you think about it, a handheld computer was science fiction not too long ago. With all this knowledge at my fingertips, what did I decide to learn about? How throw pillows got that moniker. 

The first site that had information to read was a Wikipedia page. Since anyone who wants can post unverified information on that page, I am typically skeptical about that site when it comes to looking up symptoms or other important issues. However, I don't suspect any dubious information is being compiled on throw pillows. I didn't really learn anything about how the name originated, but I did learn that in Britain, they are called scatter pillows. 

I decided to go back and scroll further down the search results and, while I thought to myself that I am dedicating way too much time to this idea, I looked at a few opinion sites. You know? The places where people ask questions and other kind strangers try to answer them. With the handful that I read, it seems the general consensus is that since these pillows are used for decorative purposes, they are just thrown on the couch or bed. It's not really the answer that I was hoping for, but it does make sense.

Let's Talk About Accents


Home Accents That is!

No, I'm not talking about French or other accents. I am talking about the ones that you can use to liven up your home. Home accessories and accents have several different uses. This versatility makes them almost as essential as the actual furniture itself. The word accent can mean to stress or emphasize something, so this is the purpose of most of these types of furniture items and decoration. From shapes to colors, the way an object can draw attention to what you want allows you to be quite creative while arranging and decorating your home. 

The Flow of Your Home

When deciding how you want the flow of your home to go, accent furniture can be used as a guiding hand. The entry of your home is the first step a person will take in your abode so you will want to use a strong feature like ornamental plant stands or a chest that has a strong presence. You can accomplish this with the color or shape of the item you choose as well as how ornate it is. 

Tables and chairs are a potent way to add some flair to your room, and since they come in all shapes, sizes, materials, and finishes, the imagination can run wild with the possibilities. In your living room, you may have an accent wall. Matching your home accessories to this wall can really help to tie the whole room together. 

The Style of Your Home

If you are looking to have a particular style, decor and accessories will play a vital role in helping you accomplish a specific look. From rustic to SoCal sheik, it won't be just the furniture that has to match the style. You wouldn't want to mix an art nouveau chair with a Victorian living room set. Speaking of Victorian, you could use a settee to help accentuate the rest of your main pieces. Color also is significant while maintaining an individual style. From earth tones and dark woods to pastels and vibrant fabrics, you really do have a lot to consider when decorating your home.
