Start with Style and Space Planning: Before diving into the extensive King Hickory furniture collection, it’s crucial to define your preferred style—whether modern, contemporary, or classic—and plan your room layout. This helps streamline your choices and ensures the furniture fits well within your space, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Measure Precisely and List Needs: Accurate measurements of your room, including walls, doors, and windows, are essential to selecting appropriately sized furniture. Additionally, creating a detailed list of required items (e.g., sofa, coffee table) will help you stay organized and focused while browsing the King Hickory collection.
Explore Customization Options: King Hickory offers extensive customization, including fabric and leather choices, cushion firmness, and nailhead trim options. This allows you to tailor the furniture to your specific preferences and style, ensuring a personalized and cohesive look for your home.
King Hickory is one of those furniture manufacturers that our customers favor over most others because of the great combination of amazing quality and a large range of products.
We have had many people completely kit out a new home with furniture from this range. And we’ve never had feedback that customers were disappointed with the quality they received.
But when you have a large range of products and styles to choose from, it can be a bit daunting to figure out where to start and how to find the most suitable products for your home.
And that’s why we’ve put together this step-by-step King Hickory Buying Guide.
There’s always the temptation to dive straight into different King Hickory furniture categories. But if you take a carefully planned approach, you’ll save time and increase your chances of getting exactly what you want.
The great thing about King Hickory furniture is that the company’s designers have come up with a wide range of different style choices. Maybe you want a rustic and classic look for your living room or a mid-century modern style for your dining room.
Or you might want something a bit more subtle than classic but not quite as minimalistic as modern furniture.
What you need to do is determine what style you’re looking for (modern, contemporary, or classic) and use that as a guide to narrow down your search.
Otherwise, you could end up spending a lot of time looking at clashing styles of furniture and just end up frustrated.
Once you’ve narrowed things down to one of the King Hickory furniture style options, it’s time to take a careful look at the room you’re trying to bring new furniture into.
While it might seem like it’s best to just keep your layout the same and replace an old couch with a similar size new one, this is a good time to consider whether rearranging your furniture will give you a completely new experience.
So, stand in the middle of the room, and visualize putting your furniture in different places. Then try to sketch it out on a piece of paper to give you something a bit easier to picture.
You can also try our digital room planner.
Now you want to make sure you take measurements of all the walls and also things like doors and windows. Figure out how high a window sill is and how much space you ideally want between different pieces of King Hickory furniture.
The great thing about this company is that you have many products available in different sizes. You’ll see the exact measurement options on each product page, and with that information, you can then determine whether it’s suitable for your room.
Next up, create a list of what you need. Maybe it’s just a replacement sofa and a new coffee table. Or maybe you’re redesigning the entire living room.
Then your list might include a sofa, loveseat, coffee table, side table, and a cabinet.
Once you have that list, you’re practically ready to start browsing King Hickory furniture. You have the ideal design style and list of furniture, as well as the measurements to start your search.
But there’s one thing I would recommend before you get started.
Whether you use MS Office or Google Docs doesn’t matter. But if you prepare a document with the list of items you’re looking for, then you’ll find it a lot easier to stay organized than trying to maintain loads of browser tabs or adding things to a wish list.
Create a new page for each room and list out the furniture you need. Once you start browsing through the King Hickory furniture collection, you can copy and paste the links of those products you like best under each category of your document.
You can also screenshot an image and paste it into the document so that you have an easy reminder of which things you liked the best.
OK, so you’ve done all the preparational work; now it’s time to start browsing through our King Hickory furniture offers. And we’ve conveniently broken this section down into all the different products available.

The subtle look makes this ideal for modern and contemporary homes. 
If you want the ultimate comfort with the impressive look that the throw pillows can provide, then the Casbah sectional is your perfect choice. All the pillows are filled with plush down and feathers to give you both comfort and warmth.
And adding a chaise section will give you even more space to relax.
Even if you don’t have a large living room or open plan space for a sectional, King Hickory Furniture has come up with a smaller-size solution for you with the Cory design. Not only does it have a shorter length, but it also has less depth.
Creating maximum seating space doesn’t automatically mean you have to choose a bulky looking sectional. The Drake design uses subtle straight and curved lines with a slimmer frame structure to ensure it doesn’t take over a room.
The most attractive part of the Highland Park sectional isn’t just the elegant design with the low armrests. As soon as you sit on this sofa, you’ll notice the deep seat cushions that allow you to relax completely and lay back.

With a great high-back cushion and an Ottoman included, this chair just invites you to sit back and relax. People also love the low armrests as it allows you to rest your arms at a much more comfortable height.
This is possibly the most interesting chair in the collection as it’s technically a chair and a half. You’ll immediately notice that it’s significantly wider than your average chair, and that means you have a lot more space to relax and get into a comfortable position.
The lower back and armrests also help to ensure that it doesn’t become too imposing.
If you’re looking for a more rounded and curved shape to blend into your living room, then the Cassandra chair in the King Hickory furniture collection is where you want to get started.

The Denver chair is another classic design item that will make it a focal point of your room. This one is based on French styles, and you’ll notice that it has a lot of intricate designs that include rustic leather and nailhead trim to make it stand out even more.
Choosing the Gracie swivel chair can be a great way to complement a contemporary-style living room. It delivers some stunning details like nailhead trim, but the overall shape of the frame creates a slight understatement.

Next up, let’s take a look at how King Hickory furniture can provide you with amazing flexibility when it comes to having overnight guests. Even if you don’t have a designated guest room available, you can still provide a comfortable bed for a great night’s sleep.
You can order the Bently sofa with loose seat backs that you can easily remove to create a fantastic sleeper for one person. You’ll also need to order the longer three-seater to ensure maximum comfort for a restful night.
The Lillian sofa is a bit more intricate in design, with low rolled arms and detachable back cushions. It’s available up to 90 inches in length, and that can make it into a very comfortable bed. It also has deep seat cushions to provide more space for an adult to sleep with room to move.
And if you want your sleeper sofa to be a real statement piece in your home, then choose the combination of fabric and leather upholstery for the Sally sofa. The sofa is 41 inches deep, and you can customize it to different lengths. That should provide more than enough space for guests to relax for the night.
The King Hickory furniture collection also has two amazing standalone chaise lounges available. You can also configure the sectionals with a detachable ottoman, but if you have enough space in your living room, then adding one of these chaises will make a huge difference.
The Charlotte chaise has a classic design, and if you choose the dark leather options with combined fabric cushions, then you can give it an even more rustic look.
There is some subtle nailhead trim with intricately carved legs that really make it stand out.

The Julianna chaise is also a great choice for a classic and rustic interior design style. But you can tone it down a bit with the selection of neutral leather and fabric upholstery options.
That would make it more suitable for a contemporary environment.
You will instantly love the extra-wide seat cushion that makes it perfectly suitable for two people to relax in comfort.
Another very popular choice in the King Hickory furniture collection is the smaller settees available. The overall dimensions are not just shorter, but the seats are typically not as deep either.
This makes them an ideal choice as a loveseat in a smaller living space or if you just want to tone things down a bit.
The Athens settee has a typical classic and rustic design that would perfectly suit a warm and welcoming living room. The dark leather options make it perfectly blend in with wood furniture. And when you choose the nailhead trim, you’ll also be able to make it stand out a bit.
While the armrests are quite low, the sides of the settee extend up to create a great headrest to offer more comfort and relaxation.
If you have a modern or contemporary home, then the Carson settee is going to be a great place to start. It has a more subtle shape with flowing lines that make it blend in more.
And to give it a more contemporary look, you can add some of the fabric patterns and colors that stand out a bit more.
And finally, let me show you the ottomans available in the King Hickory furniture collection. No matter what chairs, sectionals, or sofas you have chosen, you can always add that extra bit of comfort with an Ottoman.
And they also work great as extra seating if you have a larger group of guests to entertain.
The most appealing thing about the Alp is the amazing button-tufted design that gives it a lot more texture, even with more neutral upholstery. It’s also available as a longer ottoman or bench.
And with the choice of different size nailhead trim, you can make it as classic or contemporary as you like.
This is possibly the most customizable Ottoman available. Whether you prefer a round, square, or rectangular one, you’ll find the right shape and size. And you can also choose to have the upholstery button-tufted for a bigger visual impact.
You could even go for perfectly flat fabric in a neutral tone and add modern legs. This would make it the perfect addition to a modern interior design where you don’t want your seating furniture to stand out.
This is the ideal Ottoman for a busy family home or a small living room. Not only does it offer great comfort or added seating space, but you can lift up the top to reveal a convenient storage area.
It’s available in a variety of square and rectangular sizes with a great selection of fabric and leather upholstery to help you match it perfectly to your home.

As the name suggests, this Ottoman has a simple design to create a minimalistic understatement. You can buy it in different rectangular sizes, and it looks particularly great with some of the amazing leather choices available.
And finally, it’s often a great idea to create a visual contrast in your living room. And adding a round Ottoman to rectangular sofas, chairs, and coffee tables is a great way to achieve that contrast while keeping it all balanced.
The great thing with this option is that you can customize it into a classic and rustic style with intricate fabric patterns and large nailhead trim, or you can give it a more modern look with simple leg designs.
One of the reasons why so many people choose King Hickory furniture for their entire home is down to customization options. With the choices available, it’s basically like ordering custom-made furniture to match your home.
And that can make your interior design efforts a lot easier to manage.
Let me show you what choices you can make.
The King Hickory Furniture company has created a very easy way to find the ideal choice of fabrics for your new furniture.
First of all, you can narrow your search down by categories, which include modern abstract geometric patterns, stripes, plaid, tweeds, and many more. You then have the option to choose from a wide range of colors that give you every opportunity to make your new furniture perfectly match your home.
Another great option in the fabrics section is the ability to choose from stain-resistant, durable, and easy-care fabrics. That’s particularly helpful for families with young kids.
And finally, if you’ve already narrowed things down to a particular fabric vendor because of a previous experience, then simply choose that vendor and see what fabrics might suit you best without causing a clash.
The King Hickory Furniture company has a long history of sourcing some of the finest quality leather materials for its collection. These are all real leather, and you have a choice of natural, protected, and specialty leather.
The natural leather choices are what most people focus on, and you have a great choice of colors. These are great for both modern and contemporary furniture styles.
The protected leather is an excellent option for families or if you tend to entertain guests on a regular basis. By adding protective layers to the hides, you won’t have to worry so much about spills. In most cases, you’ll simply be able to wipe them away.
And finally, there are specialty leathers, which are most suitable for classic and rustic styles. These include amazing patterns and even antique and worn effects that can look amazing in the right environment.
One of the major attractions that set King Hickory Furniture apart from most competitors is the great selection of finishing touches to the exposed wood. Not only do you have great choices for the shape of wood legs on the furniture, but you can also adjust the color.
The standard finishes are light-aged gray ones, which is great for keeping things bright. But if you want to create a welcoming feeling, then consider the warm brown color choice.
There are also a few specialized finishes that allow you to achieve an aged rustic look, as well as a few different color choices.
When you carefully plan for the color finish, it can allow you to perfectly match new and existing furniture and avoid even subtle clashes in design and color.
Everyone has their own preferences for seat cushions, especially when it comes to firmness. Some might like it very firm to provide better posture support, while others just want to sink into a sofa and enjoy maximum relaxation and comfort.
What King Hickory Furniture offers is four different levels of comfort and support:
Don’t make this decision about your cushions without carefully considering what you generally prefer. It’s the one part of your purchase that will dictate how much comfort you’ll experience.
And the last piece you need to consider is the nailhead trim options that King Hickory Furniture offers.
Not only do you have three different size options to make this design feature stand out a lot more.
But you can also choose different metals and finishing touches. From a plain and simple steel nailhead to the elegant and detailed Texas Star design, you’ll be able to achieve a truly unique piece of furniture.
It’s also important to consider that some of the furniture pieces have nailhead trim as optional, so you don’t have to add it if you think it might be too much or clash with your choice of upholstery.
The King Hickory Furniture company has a long history of working with some of the best furniture designers in America. And that has made it possible for customers to have an excellent variety of different style choices to match their homes.
Let me give you an overview of what you need to consider when browsing the King Hickory furniture collection.
You’ll often hear people talk about classic or traditional style furniture, and this is one of the design choices that you make if you want your furniture to take center stage.
What you’ll notice with this type of furniture is that everything from leathers to fabrics, and frames to exposed wood have some level of detail that makes it stand out and demand attention.
King Hickory Furniture designers have a long history of making exceptional classic furniture designs, and you can see that in all the warm and welcoming designs in the store.
You can even take things into the more antique look with aged and distressed leather along with very traditional English and French design details.
If you’re not afraid of detail and love having a lot of exposed wood and leather, then definitely consider the classic furniture options in the collection.
On the other end of the design scale is what’s generally referred to as mid-century modern furniture. And with the King Hickory furniture, you’ll find some exceptional pieces that embrace this minimalist approach.
What sets the modern furniture style apart is that it generally has very clean and subtle lines with nicely proportioned geometric shapes. You won’t see intricate details like carved wood or rolled arms.
Instead, it’s all about making a piece of furniture blend in without making it visually stand out.
The great thing is that you can then either decide to keep the leather or fabric upholstery with subtle colors and patterns, or you could make a very bold statement with bright colors for an almost art-deco kind of appearance.
And then there are the contemporary King Hickory furniture choices, which make up a very large portion of the collection. The reason this is generally one of the preferred options is that it can match up with both modern and classic styles.
It will have a few subtle details, and you would typically choose fabric patterns or leather colors that make it stand out a bit. But it also borrows from modern styles by keeping everything a bit more simple to not become completely overwhelming.
For people who are struggling to choose an ideal style for their home, it’s generally best to start with contemporary options as they don’t take you to the extremes of furniture design.
I would also suggest that this is a great option if you have a smaller room to refurbish because you typically have smaller dimensions for the furniture that will make it appear less bulky.
And that can have a huge visual impact on making a room look bigger than it actually is.
King Hickory Furniture is a family-owned company with a history of over 50 years operating in Hickory, North Carolina. The entire area around Hickory is world-renowned for being home to the best furniture manufacturers.
