Leather Bed in White Wkith Storage

by Ionut Ciofu, posted in Furniture, on July 18th, 2012

It is well known that a nice bed makes the entire bedroom look OK. Of course it has to be in the same style with the interior theme and most of all it has to be suited for each individual. Because the bedroom is the place where we lay down and recharge our batteries, the bed has to be ultra comfortable to provide us the best sleep our budget can buy.And speaking of budgets, for roughly $ 1,200 you can get this one and set it as benchmark for future interior upgrades.

This particular model has a wonderful low profile design, fully upholstered in white bonded leather with four marvelous drawers underneath that offer more space than you actually need. This sophisticated design is available both in king-size, measuring 40.5”H x 78”W x 88”D or in queen-size, measuring 40.5”H x 62”W x 88”D. The color scheme chosen for this piece follows the latest trends in design, white being the color that nowadays became a “must have”.

Allison Tufted Chair

by Loredana Sava, posted in Furniture, on July 18th, 2012

Sometimes I look in the mirror before going out and I think I am dressed in a rather boring or not so interesting style and I just add a small accessory that draws attention and will add the plus of chic that my clothes lacked so far like a red purse combined with red shoes or maybe a nice orange scarf or maybe a daring turquoise necklace over an all black dress or suit. This totally changes my appearance and gives it the plus of style it needed before. You can do exactly the same thing with your living room. When you have a nice living room but with nothing to catch your eye in particular, then it is time for you to purchase a centerpiece like this Allison Tufted Chair.

This chair is rather retro in design, as it reminds you of the way chairs used to be manufactured some decades ago. But it is so nicely made and has such an interesting and appealing look, that it will immediately become your favourite piece of furniture. The seating and the back rest are both covered with a nice tufted fabric with raised circle pattern throughout. The back rest is a bit larger at the top, with some beautiful curves on the sides. It has a strong frame and soft cushions and this will provide the resistance and comfort you need. It is available in many colour combinations and you can have it for $239.

The ingenious Pi and Up Sidetables by Marc Th. van der Voorn

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on July 17th, 2012

Side tables, just like ottomans, provide with that little extra space you need when sitting comfortable in a chair or on the sofa. Side tables are smaller than coffee tables but they are also more versatile. They can be very practical in all the rooms of the house. They usually complement nicely a cozy armchair but they can also be used as nightstands or bedside tables. These two side tables are particularly interesting because they have a simple but eye-catching design.

The two tables were created by Dutch designer Marc Th. van der Voorn for Odesi. Their names are Pi an Up and are a representation of their shape. The names are simple and catchy, just like the tables. The Pi table is a particularly functional piece of furniture because it’s not only a great side table but also a magazine holder. The magazines can be easily stacked on the legs of the table thanks to their shape and inclined position. Moreover, the two curved legs also have a round hole in them and allow you to roll up the newspaper and store it there. This way you’ll always have them near-by when you need something to read and they don’t take space.

Glass Coffee Table With Chrome Base

by Loredana Sava, posted in Furniture, on July 16th, 2012

In my opinion people made their first tables because they needed some solid furniture to put the food on. In time there have been a lot of new kinds of tables, more or less sophisticated, bigger or smaller, made of wood, metal, stone or some other strange materials. So basically a table is meant to be functional. However, coffee tables are sort of special because they have more of a decorative [purpose. They may be useful every now and then when you have company and serve them with a cup of coffee, tea or some cookies. That is why people invented coffee tables like this beautiful Glass Coffee Table With Chrome Base from Modani, that is a real work of art and which is eye-cathing.

by Loredana Sava, posted in Furniture, on July 16th, 2012

Most people use wall mirrors because they need to see their faces when getting out of the house, especially women who need to check their make-up or apply it correctly. But if you ask me floor mirrors are just as important or even more important because you must have an overall view on yourself before getting out in order to see if your clothes fit with each other and if they suit you. After all people notice your appearance first and only after that they can see your face and hear you speaking. Some clothes just do not suit us and we need to see that and change into something appropriate. Floor mirrors are the ones showing us the ugly face of the truth. Any way, this Modern Shaker floor Mirror from Vermont Studio is perfect for any home.

Unbuttoned, grid-tufted headboard with geometric detailing

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on July 15th, 2012

A headboard can make a huge difference in the bedroom. When you don’t have one you don’t really realize that but, once you’ve seen how comfortable it can be you can’t live without it. Most headboards have button tufted surfaces and this creates a very appealing look. However, the same effect that be obtained without that detailing.

This is an unbuttoned headboard that, despite that effect, still features a very similar pattern. This grid-tufted headboard gets its beautiful from the geometric detailing rather than from traditional buttons. This small detail makes it stand out. The tufted surface makes the headboard very soft and comfortable to lean on and, because it has no buttons, its surface is even more pleasant at touch. Another nice feature is that the headboard has a compact design that makes it versatile and suitable even for small bedrooms.

TrueModern Low Dresser

by Loredana Sava, posted in Furniture, on July 15th, 2012

This week I had an unusual idea: why don’t I find all the dirty socks from all the family members and wash them together? Well, I can tell you there were quite a few pairs of socks, so that I filled more than half the washing machine with them. It was then that I realized how many socks a normal family with two adults and two children has. So each family must have a special place where to store all these small items, like a dresser. This TrueModern Low Dresser is perfect for such items like socks, gloves, scarves, etc. It fits any room and can also be combined with a TV set if you place it in the living room, so it makes a great TV stand.

This dresser is beautiful and has a very nice colour, as it is made of solid birch wood and wood veneer and the manufacturer kept the natural colour of the wood. This natural colour is completed by the blue of the handles, which brings a special feature to the whole furniture piece. The dresser has three drawers with full extension ball bearing drawer slides and also some extra storage space with an adjustable shelf. The product is available for $599 from Fawn and Forest.
