Today’s Most Popular Contemporary Accent Furniture Solutions

Contemporary accent furniture commands a special place in the home and deemed an essential element by many home enthusiasts. The category runs the scale from the perfect performance piece that solves a problem to one that you just fell in love at first sight and knew that you just have to have it. Accent furniture is favored because of its versatility. Think about how an end table can double as a nightstand; a storage ottoman that conceals bedding textiles,  or an upholstered bench that can move from the bedroom to the family room added seating.

Upholstered benches are especially very popular right now. Many homeowners are looking for them, along with high back settees for entryways. Inviting and cozy, these pieces can be treated with bright colors, fun patterns and a soft finish. Settees invite guests to congregate, letting them feel that they are welcome. Below are other popular accent furniture solutions that are winning the favor of many homeowners and interior designers.

Console Tables

Because they stand higher than their matching mates (the cocktail table and the end table), console tables can be used in more places throughout your home.

You can also get a statement console like the Gita Console Table by EuroStyle which should be great on your entryway or foyer.

Laptop Desks

Today’s popularity of tablets and laptops has turned the writing table into the new furniture standard for professionals working at home. Minus the boxy equipment and excessive cords, many wireless workers do not want large-scale furniture that will restrict them to one area in a room. Rather, they now opt for airy and open writing desks like the Z Deluxe Desk – Small by EuroStyle that allow one to set up shop in the great room, living room, or family room.

Ornate Pieces

By choosing an upholstered chair, instead of the conventional sectional or sofa, a homeowner opt to go more daring with color and pattern.

Unique markings, surprising scale, unexpected color, detailed carvings, and elaborate finishes can me an ornate conversation piece exactly what is it — the talk of the space.

Extra Storage

Any accent furniture piece that gives added storage is prized above the others. Even an extra shelf on an end table can already make a huge difference in the living room, where homeowners may want to display their book collection, glass vessels or decorative boxes.
