Consoles
“Consoles are a fantastic way to enhance any room’s design! Their versatility allows them to fit seamlessly into entryways, living spaces, or dining rooms while adding a touch of sophistication. A well-placed console table can serve as a stylish focal point, whether topped with decor or left minimalist for a clean look. If you’re looking for the perfect piece, go bold! Our favorite is the Mimi console—crafted from reclaimed wood with classic lines, it’s a timeless staple that effortlessly elevates any space. Whether used for storage, display, or as an accent, a console is a simple yet impactful way to transform a room.”
Upholstered Beds
“An upholstered bed is an instant way to bring a sense of luxury to your bedroom. The plush, inviting feel adds warmth and comfort, making your bedroom a true retreat. The softness of an upholstered frame creates a cozy ambiance, reminiscent of a high-end hotel suite. Whether in a neutral linen or a bold velvet, these beds offer both elegance and comfort. Our customer favorite is The Cabalynn, a perfect blend of classic and modern styles. Its tailored design and plush fabric make it a stunning centerpiece. An upholstered bed doesn’t just add beauty—it enhances the overall feel of your bedroom, making it a sanctuary.”
Leather Furniture
“Leather furniture is a timeless way to bring richness and warmth to any space. With its durability and natural charm, it only gets better with age. Deep, rich tones and supple textures create a sophisticated ambiance while maintaining comfort. When selecting leather furniture, opt for pieces that balance structure with relaxation. A current favorite is a slipcovered leather sofa—it blends the easy, relaxed feel of slipcovers with the classic appeal of leather, making it a perfect anchor for your living room. Leather pieces can act as statement furniture, tying a room together with effortless elegance and functionality.”
Lighting
“Though not furniture, lighting is one of the most crucial design elements in a home. It has the power to transform a space, making it feel warm and inviting. Soft, layered lighting instantly elevates a room’s ambiance and can be achieved affordably. Floor lamps, table lamps, sconces, and chandeliers all play a role in creating a balanced, well-lit environment. One important detail to consider is bulb temperature—choosing a 2700K bulb ensures a warm, cozy atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a statement chandelier or subtle accent lighting, the right lighting choices make all the difference in achieving a stylish, polished space.”
