What’s That Smell?

“

So you’ve purchased a new mattress. You’ve made a good investment, you’re excited to sleep better — but wait.

Your mattress has a chemical or mildewy smell, and you’re not sure why. Yeah, it’s brand new, but the mattresses at the store didn’t smell like this. The mattress is experiencing off-gassing, which is what happens when you take a new mattress out of its packaging. Reliable mattress companies like Serta, Sealy, and Simmons manufacture their mattresses in factories, where the mattresses are vacuum-sealed within minutes of completion. They have very little time to air out, so when you unwrap your new mattress, it’s going to air out in your home.

This isn’t as much of a problem during the warmer months, when you have your windows open — but in the winter months, it can take up to several weeks for the chemical smell to dissipate. Memory foam mattresses especially are known for a strong off-gassing odor. However, don’t let this deter you. This is entirely natural for any and every new mattress, since it has been sealed almost immediately to make sure that it stays clean and undamaged.

The best thing to do is to wait it out. This may not seem like the most helpful advice, but if you spray anything on your mattress, you run the risk of ruining your warranty. There are some natural air deodorizers, such as white vinegar and cut onions, which you can place in bowls around your bedroom to help soak up the smell.

This “new mattress” smell is nothing to worry about. It may not be as nice as a “new car” smell, but remember — your old mattress had to air out, as did the one you tried out at the store. If you do want to contact someone about the typical length of time for off-gassing, the manufacturer is your best source.

Sleep Well,

Modern Furniture Apartment Style Tips

“Modern apartment life is no longer only available to those in high-fashion magazines. Modern furniture is everywhere today, and with a bit of planning and creativity, you have the ability to style any space with elegant, classy, sleek furniture and designs.

Choose a Color Scheme Ahead of Time

When working with smaller spaces including apartments, choose a color scheme with one to three colors. Stick with whites, off-whites, beiges, browns, and other neutral colors when attempting to broaden the appearance of any room or space in you apartment. Many modern color schemes include black and white in addition to another color, such as red, green, or navy blue.

Leave “White Space” on Your Walls

In modern design, “white space” is often referred to when working to develop websites and applications. However, it is also commonly mentioned when designing modern spaces in small areas. Although bright and original artwork is an ideal way to create a unique atmosphere in your apartment, be sure to leave enough space between paintings and photos to ensure you maximize how large the room appears altogether.

Types of Modern Furniture

Modern furniture often includes hard and defined edges with clean and sleek looks. Smooth, curved, and futuristic furniture styles are also just as common depending on your own preferences and personal choice when decorating. Gloss and matte looks are both popular with modern furniture.

Square and symmetrical furniture is desired when creating modern room atmospheres and templates. Linen, jute, cotton, wool, and silk are all popular types of fabrics used with modern furniture today. Many modern pieces of furniture include black and white colors, neutral designs, and even retro or patterned designs to bring any space to life.

Bookshelves and Storage

Creating your own storage units and implementing shelving is also highly advisable any time you are living in an apartment, regardless of its size. Adding shelves into closets, on bedroom walls and even in small nooks adds more space to reduce clutter on tables and floors throughout your place.”
