With cold fronts on the weather forecast the holiday season has breezed in some new arrivals for our showroom. What better way to take advantage of the dropping temperatures than to curl up at home? The delicious smell of winter will inspire you to hibernate and we’ll set you up in all sorts of cozy accessories to make your home the luxurious winter wonderland den you’ll thrive in. These hot and delectable new arrival showroom pieces will likely become your favorites and we’ll give you insight on how we would style these gorgeous pieces in your luxury home.

 

IMG_3134Our favorite living room accessory brings our favorite wintertime luxury detail into play: fur. Much like a fur coat, a good chair is timeless. It brings both comfort and style to a room and will be anchor of relaxation while offering an edgy, classic, sense of style and luxury. The suede brown material exudes a Southwestern feel that will likely fit in with your other pieces, and the fur detailing provides a touch of unique elegance. Our suggestion to style this piece would be to try to use bold, eclectic accessories and warm colors that will compliment the tone and texture of this exquisite armchair and turn your living room into a subtly sophisticated sanctuary.

 

IMG_3154Our second favorite piece is sure to house your favorite holiday pastimes; a gorgeous armoire perfect for storing and displaying vintage wines and spirits. This neutral toned armoire is constructed of both Koa and Primavera woods and inlaid bone with hand scrimshawed detailed pattern. A beautiful bar cabinet sure to fit all your functional entertaining needs with its versatility but impress all your family and friends at your holiday gatherings. Because of its individuality and custom detailing, place this piece somewhere it’ll stand out. (Functionality tip: it’ll make your favorite wine more accessible that way too.)

Don’t forget to treat yourself for the holidays and invest in pieces that will make your house feel uniquely like your home. You’ll want to show off a little personality for the time of the year your family is most likely to get together. We go big at La Maison for the holidays so be sure to stop by our showroom for these two featured pieces and for many other pieces as well. Bring home something magical.

 

 

Finding Your Perfect Sofa

IMG_3147Interior design can speak volumes about your personality when given the chance, and one of the biggest purchases you’ll make for your home is the sofa. Like many things in this era of endless choices, there seems to be an infinite amount of options when it comes to finding the perfect sofa that is not only functional but beautiful. Since this is one of the biggest purchases you’ll make for your home we want you to consider how to best utilize your space.IMG_3155

Generally when designing a living space, you’ll start by taking into consideration the sizing of your living room and the function you want the sofa to primarily serve. If your living room has limited space, consider a charming two seater that won’t overpower your space. The two seater not only maximizes your living area but also can fulfill even the most luxurious of styles. If you have a little more room to spare, an L shaped sofa is a good option for filling a lot of space with one piece. This shaped sofa is also ideal for dividing a more open room into concrete areas of entertainment. This sofa we have featured in our showroom is not only gorgeous but functional in keeping the main area of your living space in focus.IMG_3148

With every great center piece comes great audience pieces. Adding another smaller sofa to a large space or incorporating colorful ottomans or a chic coffee table can take your sofa style to the next level of personal design. Aesthetic is important when bringing together your living room but be sure not to skimp on functionality when it comes to deciding on what pieces to bring home. Our pieces offer the best of both worlds so be sure to stop by our showroom for the next piece that’ll bring more of ‘you’ into your living room.

Heavy Metal

IMG_3145Looking to add a little edginess to your new space? Tired of prim and posh? With the right touch, there are so many luxurious ways to create a ‘heavy metal’ look. Forget nay sayers that say you shouldn’t mix your metals,that’s the way of the past. Here at La Maison we have everything you need to mix your metals in marriage bliss. Gold, brass, silver and copper – with the right touch they can add edginess to any style.

IMG_3153Lovers of interior design know that metallics aren’t just for the bold of heart. Metals can be mixed into the styles of those who love traditional, rustic or even the shabby-chic of us out there. They can also add intrigue and gorgeous texture throughout your home and the more contemporary designers love a good metallic edge these days.

Contemporary styling doesn’t have to necessarily be cold and bleak. Those looking to add just a light touch can decorate using brass or gold light fixtures or nickel or chrome. Adding accessories with warm metal tones such as plated picture frames, a stunning plated mirror, or even something as simple as gold accented pillows can take the chill off of your space and radiate warmth. You’ll get a huge impact if you marry cool metals like silver with a warmer ones such as copper or brass. An oak colored coffee table is complimented with La Maison’s cooper* plated sculptures. Embellish your grey accent wall with colors that compliment the muted tones.

IMG_3160La Maison Interiors showcases so many vibrant colors, but we also have pieces intended to accent dark and understated tones. Chrome and silver pair beautifully with greys and whites, but brass accent tones will warm up these cool hues and add a unique ‘pop’ to your space.
Metal accessorizing is huge for the winter season. Warm gold copper accents, cool and sophisticated silver and stainless steel looks; you have countless options. So if you’re ready to integrate this ‘hot’ trend into your home, then come see our master showroom. We hope to inspire you with gorgeous ideas and give you luxurious furniture to complete any look.
