Some pieces catch your eye right away. Others become more beautiful the longer you look at them. This week, we’re drawn to the details—the satinwood banding and elegant brass handles on an antique two-tier stand, the beautiful blue-green patina and hand-painted floral details on a set of four Neoclassical chairs, and all of those little touches that give a piece its character.
We’re also loving a bedroom set by Universal Furniture. Its transitional style makes it wonderfully versatile, while the generously sized dressers and nightstands offer the excellent storage that has been so popular lately. The beautiful burled finish and thin checkered inlay add another lovely detail, giving the clean-lined pieces a little more warmth and personality.
We especially love pieces like these because they don’t have to be used in a perfectly matched room. Pair the Universal set with antique lamps, a traditional chest, or contemporary artwork—or mix the Neoclassical chairs and antique stand into a room with more modern furnishings. It’s those combinations of old and new, simple and ornate, that make a room feel collected and personal.
This week, take a closer look at the details. Sometimes it’s the smallest touches that make a piece truly special.
