Enhance your indoor-outdoor living with design expertise, easy new additions
Original Post from pigeon605.com
Patio season is approaching fast, and the same design-focused approach for the inside of your home can help transform your outdoor spaces too.
“People increasingly are trying to bring the indoors out,” said Amber Sigler, design consultant at Montgomery’s. “And we want you to know we can offer the same kind of high-quality products in the outdoor world as the interior.”
Montgomery’s designers offer the same complimentary design services if you’re working to create an exceptional outdoor space in your home. They will visit your home and help select finishes and furnishings for outdoor living.
“We’ll look at the design approach you’ve used on the inside of your home and help complement that on the outside,” Sigler said. “We want it to be different but still cohesive with the rest of the home.”
People who invested in outdoor spaces during the pandemic years also will find “a lot more options available now,” she said.
“You might have rushed to find whatever was available to enjoy your outdoor space, but now you’ll find many more choices for customization that don’t take long to arrive and that you easily could still enjoy this season.”
On the deck or patio
One easy way to update an outdoor space: Choose a new umbrella, especially if you have an open deck or patio.
“The umbrella market has really been enhanced with different sizes, shapes and technology,” Sigler said. “You can incorporate lighting or even Bluetooth speakers with them. Plus, even though most furniture is fade-resistant, it still helps to offer some additional shelter for comfort.”
Montgomery’s also offers many weighted bases to add sturdiness to umbrellas.
“And some even have a pedal you can push to elevate the base on wheels, so they’re easy to maneuver around a patio,” Sigler said.
Outdoor seating is trending toward “lounge groupings,” she added. “So options like a sofa and a few chairs or loveseat or chaise, which can be more versatile, especially around a pool or for entertaining.”
Homeowners also are gravitating toward more luxe looks, she said.
“We’re seeing a lot of people who are looking to create an upscale hotel or spa-like vibe, similar to what they may have done in a master bath, but the idea is to bring it outdoors.”
Outdoor dining
Outdoor kitchens are going beyond grills to include pizza ovens and bars, with seating to complement them.
“We’re seeing a lot of sling-style dining chairs that are very popular and quite comfortable, with room to choose colors and fabrics,” Sigler said.
“You can swivel or slightly rock them. Another thing we’re seeing are some really cute sets with faux wicker or rattan chairs with nice cushion seating options.”
Marble or stone counters also can help further elevate the patio.
You’ll also find many new options for outdoor rugs to complete the space.
“There are so many options,” Sigler said. “Some don’t even feel like outdoor rugs – they’re very soft and beautifully knotted but have the ability to withstand the elements and be easily cleaned.”
With especially large patios, “putting an area rug in the space helps anchor the entire space and make it seem like its own living or entertaining space,” she added.
“We have some furniture that can stay outside all year, even through harsh winters, made with recycled materials and stainless steel so they’re resistant to rusting,” Sigler said. “We recommend covering or bringing cushions indoors, but most frames are going to be able to handle the weather.”
Light it up
Maximize your time outdoors after the sun goes down with new exterior lighting.
“We’ve seen huge ground in the variety of exterior light fixtures, and they’re really advancing to a more elevated, stylish look,” Sigler said. “They’re more artistic design elements. And then classic bistro lights can set the mode and tone for a space.”
Fireplaces and fire pits also allow for fun seating areas and designs.
“That’s where we’ve really seen some creativity in picking materials for bases and toss pillows,” Sigler said.
No matter what pieces are selected for outdoor living, Montgomery’s designers can ensure selections will hold up to the weather, she added.
Three- and four-season rooms
Three- and four-season sunrooms easily can continue the design used on the interior of the home, Sigler said.
“A lot of people just take a slightly different style with it to make them feel more at one with nature while still having the benefit of being sheltered from weather.”
Many homeowners use the rooms as “screen-free” areas made for seating, informal dining and gathering.
“A lot of people use them for reading, gathering, cocktails or coffee with friends or a more personal space,” she said. “I’ve had one client use it as an art studio, so there are lot of possibilities with a design that’s surrounded by windows and open views to the outside.”
The biggest thing to remember, no matter what the space: Customization can be key.
“We’ve all seen patio furniture that looks kind of the same, so finding something really unique is on trend,” Sigler said. “And the options are endless, whether it’s the frame shape, your fabrics, access; we can help you design a space that will make you love outdoor living season even more.”

Beyond window dressing: Window fashions offer easy, effective updates to enhance a home
Original Post from pigeon605.com
Shades, blinds or draperies, however you choose to cover your windows, there’s likely something new on the market you’d love to see in your home.
“We’re definitely seeing more interest in window fashions in our stores, including people coming in specifically for window treatments,” said Montgomery’s window fashions manager Aimee Bridgeman.
“It’s exciting to see, especially because there are so many great options, including the ability to completely customize your window treatments.”
Whether you’re building or renovating an entire home or just looking to update a room or two, new window treatments can go a long way.
“Our designers are very well trained to know what to recommend in multiple situations,” Bridgeman said. “Not only will this help complete a space, but even if you think you’re not going to remain in your home for long, updated window treatments have been shown to add resale value – especially if they’re custom.”
Considering changing the look of your windows? Here are your top 10 things to know.
Design work is complimentary
As with all your Montgomery’s home design, the experts are standing by to you help you for free, every step of the process.
“Our customers are learning more and more that we’re so much more than a furniture store. We’re here to help with all your home design needs, including window treatments,” Bridgeman said.
Designers will come to your home and measure for window treatments, provide free estimates and then guide you to the selection that’s right for you.
“Not only that, but we’ve been in business 136 years and are family-owned,” Bridgeman said. “We’re not going anywhere, and we really pride ourselves on taking care of customers every step of the way.”
Options for every budget
It’s sometimes still a misconception that Montgomery’s works only with luxury homeowners, which is far from the truth.
“When it comes to window treatments, we have multiple quality manufacturers, and we are able to accommodate a wide range of budgets,” Bridgeman said. “The difference is you’re not going into a giant big-box store, which is overwhelming to most people. You’re getting one-on-one expert guidance from people who are extremely knowledgeable about the products.”
Montgomery’s also will match prices, she said.
“We want you to come to us because we offer more than windows and because of the experience you’re going to enjoy as a customer working with us.”
Treatments for every taste
When it comes to blinds and shades, it’s hard to overstate how many choices you’ll find with a simple stop in the Montgomery’s showroom.
From metal, wood and vertical blinds to sheer, woven wood and roller shades, you’ll likely be amazed at how many updates are available for your windows.
“And, of course, it’s always evolving,” Bridgeman said. “Right now we’re seeing lots of interest in roller shades, and we’re even seeing more customers on the fabric side of window treatments considering velvet. But it’s a modernized, sleek look, and I’m seeing a lot of the newer homes bringing in that very lush material. There’s such a variety of choices.”
Tech keeps improving
Automation and ease of use definitely are driving trends in window treatments. Be prepared to control your new window treatments easily with a remote or your smartphone.
“Power is a huge thing, so we’re seeing more integration into home automation, and we’re increasingly working with builders to do hard-wiring during construction so your window treatments easily have the power they need,” Bridgeman said.
“It can be very tech-driven or controlled with a basic remote, depending on your comfort and preferences.”
Let the light in – or not
Window treatments can be either light enhancing or darkening – and sometimes both at once.
“Light-enhancing window treatments filter natural sunlight and also provide UV protection, which keeps your furniture and flooring from fading,” Bridgeman said.
“And then you can do dual shades, which can alternate between sheer and darkening, so you can create a darker space whenever you want it.”
Upgrade could be an energy saver
Energy-efficient shades help you save energy and live more comfortably year-round.
“Cellular shades are the most energy-efficient shade available,” Bridgeman said. “They have a unique honeycomb design that traps air in distinct pockets, providing an added layer of insulation at the window. That helps keep a room warmer in cooler weather and cooler in hotter weather.”
If you like the look of a roller shade but want enhanced energy efficiency, consider a cellular roller shade, which marries the simplicity of a roller shade with a layer of insulating fabric.
Don’t forget the doors
When the sun goes down, sliding-glass and patio doors can provide passersby and neighbors with an unfiltered view into your home.
“That’s where drapes, vertical sheer shades, panel-track blinds and shutters come in,” Bridgeman said. “Adding any of these to doors or other large expanses of glass improves privacy, as well as helps manage natural light during the day.”
Sky-high isn’t an issue
Sioux Falls keeps growing – and so does the height of its buildings. If your new home or office is high above the city, Montgomery’s has window treatments specially designed for spaces surrounded by windows.
“We have great motorization options and specialty shades,” Bridgeman said. “Solar shades can be a great option, including for commercial space or customers that have a lot of sun. Plus, if there’s a space where you’re looking for easy cleaning, these shades are vinyl, so that’s an added benefit.”
Customization is endless
What truly sets Montgomery’s apart is its custom workroom, which allows for total customization – not just for window treatments but in many areas of your home.
“We have a lot of ability to do things that are out-of-the-box,” Bridgeman said. “Whether it’s drapery or Roman shades or even custom bedding, technically the sky is almost the limit. We potentially can even re-create what you might have enjoyed in the past and do reupholstery projects. If you have pieces in the home where you want to change fabrics, we can do that too.”
Installation is seamless
One thing to know about window treatments: You probably don’t want to try a DIY approach in installing them.
“It does require expertise, and our installers are fantastic,” Bridgeman said.
Even better: Work with Montgomery’s on your new window coverings before April 8 and it’s half off installation with your purchase.
“Our BOGO promotion is a popular one, and this is the first year window treatments are included, so it’s the perfect time to come work with one of our designers,” Bridgeman said.

Unboxing the Truth: Why Mattresses in a Box Might Not Be Your Best Bet
March 2024
The convenience of online shopping has revolutionized the way we buy everything, including mattresses. Mattresses in a box, also known as bed-in-a-box mattresses, have become increasingly popular. However, while the idea of a compressed mattress delivered to your doorstep may seem appealing, there are some important factors to consider before jumping on the bed-in-a-box bandwagon. 1. Limited Testing Opportunities One of the primary drawbacks of mattresses in a box is the limited opportunity for in-person testing. Unlike traditional mattress shopping, where you can feel the texture, support, and overall comfort in a showroom, buying a bed-in-a-box often involves relying on online reviews and descriptions. This lack of hands-on experience can lead to a mismatch between your expectations and the actual feel of the mattress. That’s why Montgomery’s offers pressure mapping technology to ensure you get into the mattress that will fit you.
2. Questionable Durability
Mattresses in a box are compressed and rolled for shipping, which can potentially impact their long-term durability. The compression process may compromise the structural integrity of the mattress, leading to a shorter lifespan compared to traditional mattresses. If you’re looking for a mattress investment that stands the test of time, a traditional mattress will be a more reliable choice.
3. Limited Customization Options
Personalized comfort is a crucial aspect of a good night’s sleep, and traditional mattresses often provide a wider range of customization options. Many bed-in-a-box brands offer a one-size-fits-all solution, limiting your ability to choose a mattress that truly caters to your specific needs, such as firmness, support, and sleeping position.
Here at Montgomery’s, we know that sleep is essential to the overall health of an individual. That’s why we offer sleep technology to ensure you’re getting into the right mattress for quality sleep. At all of our stores, we carry mattresses that are backed by research & development proving the quality of the products we sell.
With our sleep promise, you’ll sleep soundly knowing you’re in the right mattress or we’ll replace it. There’s a reason we’ve been serving eastern South Dakota for 136 years – we’re committed to our customers!
The In-Store Advantage: Why Purchasing Furniture In-Store Trumps Online Shopping
March 2024
In the era of online shopping convenience, the allure of purchasing furniture from the comfort of your home is undeniable. However, there’s something uniquely valuable about the in-store experience that goes beyond the virtual realm. There are many reasons why choosing to buy furniture in-store is the best decision for a truly satisfying and informed shopping experience.
Sensory Exploration One of the most significant advantages of in-store furniture shopping is the ability to engage all your senses. Online shopping limits you to visual information, but in-store, you can touch the materials, feel the textures, and even test the comfort of sofas and chairs. This hands-on experience allows you to make more informed decisions about the quality and suitability of the furniture for your space.
Color Accuracy and Texture Assessment Colors and textures can be deceiving on a computer screen, especially from large national chains. In-store shopping eliminates the risk of receiving furniture that looks different in person than it did online. Seeing and feeling the materials in-store ensures that you get a true sense of the colors and textures, helping you avoid surprises when the furniture arrives at your home.
Expert Guidance from Sales Associates Navigating the vast world of furniture can be overwhelming, especially when making decisions based solely on online descriptions and images. In-store shopping provides access to knowledgeable design consultants who can offer personalized guidance, answer your questions, and help you find the perfect pieces for your needs and style preferences. Plus, at Montgomery’s, our design consultants offer always complimentary design services to ensure your home matches your style and functional needs at your budget.
Customization Options In-store shopping often offers customization options that may not be available online. From choosing the perfect fabric for a sofa to selecting the ideal finish for a dining table, the ability to customize your furniture enhances the personalization of your living space. Here at Montgomery’s, 85% of our store can be customized to fit your specific needs.
While online furniture shopping offers convenience, the in-store experience remains unparalleled in terms of sensory exploration, expert guidance, and customization options. At Montgomery’s, we invite you to step into our showroom, touch, feel, and experience the furniture that will transform your living space into a haven of comfort and style. Discover the joy of in-store furniture shopping and make informed decisions that elevate your home’s aesthetic and functionality. Shop now at the Montgomery’s location closest to you in Sioux Falls, Madison, Watertown or Aberdeen.

A Fresh Start: Three Easy Ways to Clean Your Mattress
March 2024
Our mattresses are sanctuaries for rest and rejuvenation, providing us with the comfort we need after a long day. However, over time, mattresses accumulate dust, allergens, and stains that can impact our sleep quality and overall well-being. In this blog post, we’ll explore three simple and effective ways to clean your mattress, ensuring a fresh and hygienic sleeping environment.
Vacuum Away the Dust Mites and Debris Dust mites and debris can accumulate on the surface of your mattress, contributing to allergies and respiratory issues. The easiest way to combat this is by using a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment. Begin by vacuuming the entire mattress surface, paying extra attention to seams, crevices, and any areas with visible stains. This method helps remove loose particles and allergens, promoting a cleaner and healthier sleeping space.
Revitalize Your Mattress with Natural Deodorizers Over time, mattresses can develop odors from sweat, spills, and everyday use. To refresh and deodorize your mattress, you can turn to natural and simple solutions. Start by sprinkling a generous amount of baking soda evenly over the entire mattress surface. Baking soda is known for its ability to absorb and neutralize odors.
After applying the baking soda, gently rub it into the fabric using a soft brush or your fingertips. Let the baking soda sit on the mattress for at least 30 minutes to an hour – allowing it to absorb any unwanted smells. For an extra boost of freshness, you can add a few drops of essential oil to the baking soda before applying. Popular choices include lavender, tea tree, or eucalyptus, known for their pleasant scents and antibacterial properties.
Once the deodorizing magic has happened, use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to thoroughly remove the baking soda from the mattress. This simple yet effective method not only eliminates odors but also leaves your mattress feeling revitalized and ready for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Invest in a Mattress Protector Prevention is often the best cure, and a mattress protector is a valuable investment for maintaining a clean and hygienic sleep environment. Waterproof and hypoallergenic mattress protectors act as a barrier, preventing liquids, dust mites, and allergens from reaching your mattress. Regularly washing and changing the mattress protector can extend the life of your mattress and provide an additional layer of defense against stains and allergens.
A clean mattress is essential for a healthy and restful sleep experience. By incorporating these three easy cleaning and prevention methods into your routine, you can maintain a fresh and hygienic sleeping environment. Take the time to care for your mattress, and you’ll be rewarded with a cleaner, more comfortable place to rest each night.
A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Flooring for Your Home
March 2024
When it comes to transforming the ambiance of your home, one often overlooked yet crucial aspect is the choice of flooring. The right flooring can enhance the aesthetic appeal, comfort, and functionality of your space. In this guide, we’ll explore the perks of four popular flooring options – Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), Carpet, Hardwood, and Tile – helping you make an informed decision for your home.
1. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Luxury Vinyl Plank has gained immense popularity for its versatility and modern appeal. Its realistic wood-like appearance, durability, and water-resistant properties make it an ideal choice for various spaces, including kitchens and bathrooms. LVP provides the warmth of wood without maintenance concerns, making it perfect for busy households. Additionally, its cost-effectiveness makes it an attractive option for those seeking both style and practicality.
2. Carpet Nothing beats the soft and cozy feel of carpet under your feet, especially in bedrooms and living areas. Carpet offers a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns, allowing you to express your personal style. Beyond its comfort, carpet also provides insulation, reducing energy costs and absorbing sound to create a quieter environment. With advancements in stain-resistant technology, maintaining clean and inviting carpet has never been easier.
3. Hardwood Hardwood flooring exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. Its natural beauty, durability, and ability to age gracefully make it a classic choice for many homeowners. Hardwood floors can complement various design styles and add value to your home. While hardwood may require a bit more maintenance than some other options, the investment is well worth it for the aesthetic appeal and longevity it brings to your space.
4. Tile
Tile flooring is celebrated for its durability, versatility, and wide range of design options. Available in various materials such as ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone, tiles can be customized to suit any aesthetic preference. Tile is an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like entryways and kitchens due to its resistance to scratches, stains, and water. Additionally, its cool surface makes it an ideal option for warm climates.
Choosing the right flooring for your home involves considering factors such as style, functionality, and maintenance. Luxury vinyl plank, carpet, hardwood, and tile each have their unique perks, catering to different preferences and lifestyles. Whether you prioritize the modern appeal of LVP, the cozy comfort of carpet, the timeless elegance of hardwood, or the durability of tile, selecting the perfect flooring can elevate your space to new heights. Explore the possibilities and transform your home into a haven of style and comfort. Let the flooring experts at Montgomery’s help you determine which flooring is best suited for your home and lifestyle.
