Chairs are an essential part of our homes. We use them in living rooms, dining rooms, entryways and bedrooms. They’re a convenient place to sit and put on your shoes at the start of the day and a welcome respite as you wind down in the evenings. From their form to their function, chairs are an irreplaceable piece of furniture in your indoor and outdoor spaces. We’ve gathered a collection of iconic chairs from the past to learn more about the all-important furniture piece.

Take A Seat

With endless sofa options, designing a living space can get overwhelming. Here are some of the most popular types of sofas for your home. 

Chaise Lounge

Ideals for reclining, this sofa is known for its lengthened seat that forms a comfortable leg rest. It can also be added on to other types of sofas for extra comfort (ex. a sectional with a chaise lounge).

Sectional 

Easily customizable, this sofa is made up of multiple sections that can be put together to form a large sofa. 

Mid-Century Modern

Classic

Furniture has been designed for both comfort and beauty. Fabric and paint add artistic character. Choosing a piece of printed furniture can be compared to adding artwork to a room.  It can be an upholstered chair or a painted chest. There are a myriad of choices which will add warmth and charisma to your room. Printed furniture will always be a classic because without it we lose a little of our spirit of expression.

During the remodeling of Suzanne and Bryan Jurich’s home interior, their living space metamorphosed into a timeless, classic milieu. Yet, more importantly, Suzanne proclaims, “the house also finally became OUR home.”

Making a house a home took on increased importance in this case, given that Bryan’s executive career has prompted the family to relocate often. Suzanne says this is the first house they felt they would be able to settle into for a while. “Every other place we’ve lived felt temporary,” she recalls.
