Welcome to Oxford Furniture! We've been serving the Oxford community for years, and we're passionate about helping you create a beautiful and comfortable home. Whether you're furnishing a whole house or just looking for a key piece, Oxford Furniture has everything you need.


In this blog post, we'll share some design tips to help you achieve a cohesive look throughout your entire home. Remember, a cohesive look doesn't mean everything has to match perfectly. It's about creating a sense of connection and flow between rooms.

  • Living Room: The living room is the heart of the home, so it's important to create a space that reflects your style and is inviting for family and friends. Here are some tips:
  • Choose a focal point: This could be a fireplace, a TV, or a stunning piece of art. Arrange your furniture around the focal point to create a conversation area.
  • Select a color palette: A neutral base with pops of color is a great way to create a cohesive look. You can pick up your accent colors in throw pillows, artwork, or rugs.
  • Find the perfect sofa: The sofa is usually the largest piece of furniture in the living room, so it's important to choose one that's the right size and style for your space. Oxford Furniture has a wide variety of sofas, sectionals, and recliners to choose from, including brands like Corsicana and Crown Mark, We carry a wide range of brands.


  • Dining Room: The dining room is a place for gathering with loved ones over meals. Here are some tips to create a warm and inviting space:
  • The right size table: Make sure your dining table is the right size for your space and the number of people you typically entertain.
  • Comfortable seating: Consider the chair height and style to ensure everyone can enjoy a comfortable meal. Oxford Furniture carries a variety of dining tables and chairs to suit any style.
  • Coordinating accents: A centerpiece, artwork, or a table runner can tie the look of your dining room together.


  • Bedroom: The bedroom is your sanctuary, so it should be a place of relaxation and peace. Here are some tips to create a calming atmosphere:
  • Select a comfortable mattress: A good night's sleep starts with a great mattress. Oxford Furniture carries a wide range of mattresses from brands like Malouf and Sealy to fit your needs and budget.
  • Soothing color scheme: Opt for calming colors like blues, greens, or lavenders.
  • The right bed frame: The bed frame is the focal point of the bedroom, so choose one that complements your style and the size of your mattress. Oxford Furniture has a variety of bed frames to choose from, including king, queen, and twin sizes.


  • Beyond the Room Basics: These tips apply to any room in your house:
  • Layering textures: Mix and match different textures like wood, fabric, and metal to add visual interest.
  • Repetition: Repeating a color, pattern, or material throughout a space can help create a sense of cohesion.
  • Lighting is key: The right lighting can set the mood and make a space feel more inviting. Oxford Furniture carries a variety of lamps and lighting options.
