From Altura Furniture comes the Zig Zag table which makes for a nice living room accessory. Designed to be a coffee table, Zig Zag offers some flexibility as well. The top part of the table is a flat surface which provides all the necessary features expected from a coffee table. You can rest your feet up there and place items that you need to reach quickly. The support underneath the table forms the "Zig Zag" look. I like it since it provides a cool shape in the architecture of any living room. It also is a great spot for storing magazines and books when not in use. More information: here.
If you are a home decorator that seeks more eclectic tastes then ADA sconces from Neidhardt Lighting are worth a cursory glance. Now, when it comes to lighting fixtures within a few seconds you can say to yourself "yes or no" or maybe "never in my home". ADA is going to have that effect. The first model sconce features a satin hairline copper anodized metal finish. The lamp reflector is 23 carat gold leaf creating a unique backdrop. Now the other ADA model is much more conservative, but keeps its contemporary look. This one features a silver anodized metal finish and a light that is nearly encased. An interesting feature on this model is the cutout for the light which is shaped like a light bulb. More information on these eclectic sconces can be found here.
Natuzzi Leather of Italy keeps up with modern technology as well as the (take music where ever you go) craze by including well placed speakers and Ipod jack in their new "Sound Chair". I had the pleasure of acting like I was working while I auditioned the auditory capabilities of this cool addition to the Natuzzi collection which feel as good as it looks. The retro styling is reminiscent of some of the mid-century modern chair designs we have seen before but this time perforated areas on either side of the headrest hide speakers that make your stay a lot better. Contact a Natuzzi Leather furniture dealer near you for more info as leather grades will effect pricing.
Here are 3 fireplace ideas that may help give you some visuals about what can work in new house plans or a remodeling project. There are many options on the market today, but it is still difficult to go out to one shop and see them all first hand. The first fireplace is clean and contemporary featuring a stainless surface built into a wall. The second fireplace is more transitional with a stone face with the typical black iron trim. The third model is a rustic fireplace that would be great in a lodge or a cabin. I think the stone work around the fireplace really makes the visual in this living room. These examples all come from Fireside Home and Comfort and can be found at their website: here.
