Styling Tips: How to Make Your Living Room Glider Shine
1. Style it as a Mini-Zen-Escape: Want your living room glider to truly stand out? Pair it with a cozy throw, a soft cushion, a side table, and a backdrop of plants to create the ultimate setup for your mini zen escape.
2. Elevate the look with a floor lamp: If you want to create an extraordinary look, complement your living room gliders with different lighting arrangements. Start with a floor lamp and notice how it instantly assigns your corner a divine look.
3. Surround it with floating shelves: If you want to keep it simple and elegant, you can opt for floating shelves. Once in place, you can stack them with your favorite reads, scented candles or curated trinkets. Taking it to the next level, you can even use a small essential oil diffuser and enjoy an instant spa at home.
4. Create a Functional Look: You can pair your living room glider with a side table or opt for a glider with built-in storage; the aim is to create a functional look where you can be chic and practical at the same time. You can even use wall hooks for throws or headphones to keep the space clutter-free yet cozy.
5. Layer the space with Lighting: Lighting brings in the magic. You can experiment with different lighting options to light up the entire space. Add a floor lamp to bring in the soft glow, or install a dimmable sconce above or beside the space. The goal is to create a warm, inviting nook that feels just as relaxing at night as it does during the day.
Caring for Your Living Room Glider
1. Create a ‘no-shoe’ zone around it: Try not to keep your shoes or footwear near the living room glider. It will save you from accumulating dust or debris from settling into the glider’s base and crevices.
2. Add a scented sachet behind the cushion: If you want your living room glider to stay nice and fresh, make it a habit of tucking a scented sachet behind the cushion. It will prevent any bad odor and also work against any moisture or mustiness.
3. Do Regular Cleaning: To keep your living room glider looking fresh and feeling comfy, a little care goes a long way. Wipe it down with a soft cloth now and then, and try to vacuum it weekly or every other week—it’s a small habit that makes a big difference in the long run.
4. Mind the Swivel Base (if any): Avoid placing a rug or carpet beneath the swivel base. This helps ensure that nothing gets caught in the mechanism and allows the glider to rotate smoothly—delivering the full comfort and luxury it’s designed for.
5. Lubricate the glide mechanism (if needed): The gliding mechanism may get weaker over time. It’s best to lubricate it from time to time. If you notice stiffness or creaking of any kind, apply a small amount of furniture-safe lubricant to the gliding mechanism to restore smooth motion.
6. Tighten Bolts and Screws Periodically: Gliders’ bolts, nuts, and screws can loosen over time. The best practice is to tighten them to maintain stability and safety. You can even choose to keep a handy toolkit for easy and convenient upkeep.
7. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Whenever you are choosing a spot for your living room glider, ensure it’s placed where it’s protected from direct sunlight. When furniture is exposed to harsh sunlight for extended periods, it can cause fading, discoloration, and wear to the fabric and wood in the long run.
