‘S’ is for Stellar

If you’re looking for a simple, clean-lined platform bed, the Stellar platform bed is an excellent choice. But not only is this bed well designed, it is made with environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. The factory has a small carbon footprint and all power used in the factory is hydro-electric generated.

‘T’ is for Tesauro

Available in five sizes and a number of different interior and exterior finishes, the choices seem endless with Tesauro shelving. Keep things simple by selecting a white interior finish and walnut exterior finish, or go bold with a turquoise interior finish and macassar ebony exterior finish. Stop by our showroom to see the finishes for yourself.

‘U’ is for Urban

The Urban console table is available in four different sizes, all of which are great for small spaces. Add some surface area to your room for keys, books, lamps, or other decor by incorporating a small console like this one.

‘V’ is for Virgil

The Virgil table lamp’s whimsical design would add interest to any room. Though the base is only available in white powdercoated steel, there are dozens of linen and printed silk shades from which to choose – meaning you can create the perfect table lamp for your space.

‘J’ is for Jada

The Jada Sconce features handcarved circle on a mirrored surface and antiqued gold frame. This wall light is a great combination of modern style and traditional aesthetics. Sconces can be done in a foyer, bedroom or  dining room.

‘K’ is for Kayne

Choose from hundreds of fabrics and leathers to create you own, unique Kayne bed. Other elements of the design you can be personalized – the size, headboard height, platform height, platform type (slats or box spring ready) and seams.

‘L’ is for Lolita

A popular choice among Vastu customers, the Lolita armless lounge chair is both stylish and comfortable. You have your choice of hundreds of fabrics and dozens of finishes meaning endless possibilities with this chair.

‘D’ is for D’Urso

The D’Urso swivel chair is a relatively new addition to the Knoll portfolio, but has quickly become a customer favorite. It is a great solution for an open floor plan, allowing loungers the ability to be part of the action happening in any part of the home. Personalize the D’Urso swivel chair with your choice of upholstery and base finish.

‘E’ is for Eames

Eames wire chair that is. Designed by Charles and Ray Eames, the Eames wire chair by Herman Miller has great function and style. The chrome chair is available without a seat pad, with a leather seat pad, or with a leather seat and partially upholstered leather back. There are hundreds of leathers from which to choose.

‘F’ is for Farolillo

The innovative design of LZF lighting is apparent in the Farolillo table lamp. Both delicate and durable, the bent natural wood veneer is the focal point of this piece. Available in a number of different finishes, the Farolillo lamp would be a great addition to any space.

LZF lamps make an impact when they are turned on and when they are off. The innovative, sculptural designs can make a statement in any room. The bent wood veneer creations are available in table lamp, floor lamp, sconce and pendant styles. Turn up the style dial in your home with one of these modern pieces.

We love the way Niche Modern’s stunning pendant lights accent these kitchen and dining areas.  Designer Jeremy Pyles creates them from unique exposed filament bulbs and beautiful hand-blown glass in mesmerizing shapes like Oculo and colors like Crimson and Sapphire.

#6: Lighten Up

Proper lighting can make or break any space. To create the proper lighting for different spaces, you have to consider how the space is used, e.g. reading vs. entertaining, but also who is going to be using the space, the time of day or night, the focus of the light on art or furniture and yes, whether or not it’s flattering. Dimmers are a must for any overhead lighting in order to change the wattage when you change the activity, and lighting set on timers makes adding drama and effect simple and easy. Adding lower-level ambient lighting softens a space at night, creating intimacy and drawing attention to seating areas. Accent lights and can lights behind floor plants add dramatic shadows and contrast for bargain rates. Softly tinted ambient lighting creates mood and flatters skin, flattering hosts and guests alike!

Hint: Our winter holidays are visually defined by lights, but creating holiday themes can be expensive and time consuming. Candles are the simplest, easiest and most cost effective way to honor a season and create a warm mood to counteract the dark days of winter. Scented candles personalize a space and are easily matched to a season.
