To the traditionalists who attest “form follows function,” we say form and function go hand in hand. Here are some of our favorite furnishings designed to make life easier—and more stylish—everywhere from the home office and living room, to the bedroom and beyond.
Mighty smart indeed, the Birnalla desk is crafted with a hinged flip top, so you can conveniently prop up reference materials, including your tablet, while you work. And thanks to dual electric outlets and USB charging ports, staying powered up is easy. The chic look blends rustic charm with modern polish.
Those on a mission to set up a productive work-from-home space love all that the Mission-style Cross Island credenza can do. Built for looks and productivity, it includes a pull-out tray for easy printer access, file cabinet storage, a built-in power strip and ample storage above and below the work surface.
How many times have you sat down and realized…you’re out of juice. Wouldn’t it be great to charge up without getting up? Check out this chairside end table’s flip top revealing a power station with USB charging ports. Factor in a pullout tray with cup holders and a remote slot, along with shelved cabinet storage, this end table has plenty of hidden potential.
Appearances can be deceiving. What looks like a straightforward “weathered” coffee table in vintage black is anything but. With a lift tabletop on one side and trunk storage on the other, the Gavelston lift top coffee table has raised our expectations. Optional casters add to the form and function.
Traditionally styled and modestly scaled, the Woodboro desk proves that old and new can work so well together. Spring lift top raises the surface to a healthier-alternative, standing position. For your high-tech needs, there’s an electrical outlet/USB charging port built right in.
The Maxington nightstand is getting plenty of buzz for good reason. On the reverse side, a pair of slim, discreetly placed USB ports power up modern electronics without distracting from its countrified cool charm.

Do you have rooms that need a little love? Part of the joy of furnishing a room is adding a personal touch. Since we all have different tastes, you can’t take a cookie cutter approach to home decorating. Here are three helpful steps.
For example, if you have “beach” listed as one of your favorite places, check around your home for keepsakes like shells that you may have picked up or photos you took. These will serve as your inspiration and can be incorporated into the decor.
Other inspirational ideas include:
Now that you’ve gathered your items, decide where to place them. Consider each room and find the areas where you can add a personal touch.
This room’s possibilities feed off the types of furniture and wall space you have. Stage decorative items on open shelves or in china cabinets. Hang art, like this time piece collection on the wall above a buffet or server.
Here’s your chance to show off your personal treasures. Add built-in shelves, curios or bookcases to accommodate these items. A shelf behind the sofa is perfect for displaying a hand-built model.
Add a console table along a wall or behind a sofa to hold conversation pieces, like a stylish lamp, favorite books, pictures and more. Hang wall art throughout the room.
Adorn an end table with picture frames or an electronic photo frame loaded with your favorite photos.
In this gathering spot where memories are made, the focus is on recreation and entertainment. A huge wall unit, entertainment center or book shelf provides an empty canvas where favorite objects can be displayed.
An office does not need to look boring. Here’s an example Inspired by the timeless appeal of American classic furnishings. The Townser home office desk revisits tradition in style. Credenzas and desk hutches also provide ample space for displays.
Dressers offer a valuable top shelf for displaying personal treasures. Add as many as you need to create personalized space. Add wall art with special wording above the headboard and it will all come together.
Up to a challenge? Get bedroom furniture with storage and display space show off their treasures. Use wall art or some of their own art to add character to the room.

Typically, the words “cozy” and “workspace” don’t go together, but today we’re going to be bending the rules. The following tips are a great way to add some warmth, personal style and creativity to your desk area.
Adding a throw over your chair is a great way to add comfort and dimension to your workspace. You can fold it over your chair back or lay it face up over your seat for added comfort. Faux furs offer the warmth needed for an office and allow you to share your style in a practical way.
One of our favorite ways to keep a smile throughout the work day is to have photos of loved ones around. By adding photo frames to your desk, you surrounded yourself with positivity, no matter what chaos the work day may bring.
A trick to adding creativity to a smaller space without making it look messy is to go vertical. By using taller, rather than wider, decor you can add an equal amount of personalization but use a fraction of the space. For this workspace, orchids and ferns add a touch of color and complement the earthy sophistication theme.
With these three simple steps, you can transform your workspace and your mindset while making the space comfortable and unique.
The advent of the New Year is always a good time to reflect on goals and make thoughtful resolutions about how we want to improve our lives. Here are some suggestions to bring the resolutions for 2017 closer to home.
Many people tend to acquire new things faster than they get rid of the old. This can lead to overstuffed closets and overcrowded living spaces. If you’ve noticed more things lying around your home than you have uses (or space) for, now is the perfect time to give those items a new home. If a piece is in good condition but no longer useful to you, donate it to a local charity and pass on the joy the item gave you to someone else.
If your space is being taken over by things that are no longer useful to you or anyone else, then decluttering is as simple as getting a few trash bags and dedicating time toclearing out your space. If the task seems daunting, setting a timer for 5 minutes to an hour a day for dedicated cleaning time can really ease any anxiety you are feeling.
If you’re not interested in elimination so much as organization, beautiful and functional furniture might be the perfect solution. The following are examples of pieces that look great in their own right while also helping to keep clutter at a minimum:
Whether you want to create a richly rustic feel or a clean and simple sanctuary, a bookcase is a great way to personalize your space.
