The Best Up-Market Furniture for Your Office

Choosing designer up-market pieces lets you create a high-end look whether your office is traditional, modern, industrial, eclectic or minimalistic. Regardless of the style you are after, up-market office furniture is a great way to enhance your business and send a positive message to staff and clients.

In order to get the most out of your budget – no matter how big or small – you will want to choose designer office furniture carefully. Some up-market designers specialize in a particular aesthetic, and this design style is often one of the most important factors in which pieces you select. Up-market furniture is an investment; in order to get the most value, choose furniture that will last. Classic pieces, those that will increase in value, and those that mesh with your long-term vision for your office space or for your company as it grows and changes are always sound choices. Overly trendy pieces or those that are poorly constructed aren’t likely to stand the test of time, even if your office refurbishment is decidedly contemporary.

Choose to spend the most on significant pieces that aren’t easily replaced: desks, ergonomic chairs, conference tables, luxury appliances or office equipment. With these foundation pieces, you can easily and affordably change the look of your office space by switching out artwork, light fixtures and decor as needed.

Where you shop for designer office furniture will depend largely on your budget.

If you are lucky enough to be planning an office redesign where money is no object, you are likely to spare no expense when it comes to your office furniture. You may shop directly from top of the line furniture houses or commission local artisans or designers to create one-of-a-kind pieces for your office. Working with a professional decorator who specializes in office interiors is also an excellent way to get just the right luxury furniture, as these professionals will have access to all the latest and best products.

Even if you are working on a tight budget, you can still select a few designer pieces that will complement more ordinary office furniture. You may be able to find high-end luxury pieces at resale shops, discount outlets or purchase discontinued styles directly from the manufacturer. You can also sometimes find good deals on designer furniture from emerging design houses looking to establish their business; these new manufacturers are often more willing to negotiate prices in order to have their pieces seen and help build their reputation. Taking the extra time to find great deals on up-market office furniture is well worth the effort, as these timeless pieces will lend an air of sophistication and polish to your workspace.

You will pay higher prices for luxury furniture, but this is often one of the best investments your company can make. Filling your workspace with tasteful up-market furniture – even if it is only a few pieces – makes a strong first impression on new clients and gives a sense of reassurance to existing customers. Confident clients are happy clients, and are more likely to come back to you time and again.

Get that rustic feel in your bedroom

At this time of year we tend to have the craving to completely change our bedrooms. To give it a fresh look, or a spring clean as some would call it. Quite often we like to reflect our personality or our surroundings, so if you feel that a ‘rustic’ look would suit your needs then follow these tips.

Firstly, choose your colour theme. If rustic is your desire then a non-descript colour is best. A pale cream, or a musty yellow will provide you with a base that you can then embellish on with your ‘rustic’ furniture.

There is nothing more rustic than wood, and pine beds are the epitome of rustic. At bedstar.co.uk they have a wide range of wooden beds to suit most needs
You can choose from a varying selection of sizes, including; small single, single, small double, double, king and superking sized. So no matter how small or large your room is, you can add a rustic feel with a wooden bed.

One of the reasons a wooden bed is considered rustic is that it stems back from days of old when everything was made out of wood and wood was a luxury. Another reason is the touch and smell of the wood. It is such a natural material that you cannot help but feel as if you are at one with nature. We naturally crave things that are close to our ancestry upbringing in the wilderness, so a wooden bed is a great way of expressing this.

Once you have your bed from bedstar.co.uk you can purchase other bits of furniture that match the bed. Try and keep the wooden theme throughout, and buying a similar tone of wood is preferable. This creates a unity about your room as well as bringing more of that ‘rustic’ nature in doors.
Finally, add some cream candles round the room and indulge in your little rustic nest. Recline in your comfortable wooden bed and feel like royalty. You will never want to leave.

Bedroom Furniture Set from Gautier of France

The striking element in the “Oriade” bedroom furniture set is the wood finish. Called butternut, the wood has distinct vein marks which give it strong visual appeal as light to dark browns are streaked together in the wood grain. The shape of the bed frame and headboard offer curves which help compliment the rectangular shapes of the nightstand and dressers.

The OMC Design Studio is right up our alley when it comes to super cool cutting edge modern furniture design that you just won’t see anywhere else. The “Warp Bookshelf” designed by Onur Mustak Cobanli asks the question, “What happens if an energy sphere warps a grid shaped library…” The result is a bookshelf with dimension even before you add your collectibles. The Warp is made from solid wood that is heat treated and bent to the shape you see.

Capillair Book Shelf

Seldom does modular storage system evoke a sense of design exhilaration but the “Capillair” is definitely an exception. Made from something as innocuous as rubber and felt, the adaptable storage system certainly doesn’t shy from making a style statement. The sense of drama it exudes along with the flexibility it offers makes this a complete winner in our books. Kudos to designer Carolijn Slottje for crafting this beautiful unit and making use of the cell-like components so innovatively.
