Define Your Homes Style With A Piece Mid-century Modern Furniture
There's no feeling like buying a home and having it reflect your unique style
. From paint colors to the choice of hardwood or tile, you want the home to be a reflection of your individual taste. Many new home owners realize quickly that this is not always possible first time buyer's budget constraints, many of us are lucky to have any furniture at all.
I ran into a cash crunch when trying to decorate the place. I was anxious to get started with my custom retro decor and even picked out the shop to make the pieces. I was disappointed to find that even something as small as an end table could run a $1000 for something uninspiring. If your vision for your home is a newly made retro style of furniture from a custom shop, you may be in for disappointment. You will find the pricing on custom one off pieces or even pieces that are limited production runs to start at $8,000 for a fabric sofa.
This leaves you with purchasing your furniture from the same old standard stores that normal purchasers frequent. But all is not loss, because the internet is the only resource you'll need to find great deals on unique furniture pieces for a steal! You'll be hard pressed to find unique pieces at a national chain store, but with a little research you can find unique pieces at a bargain. Furniture design is a lot like fashion in that what is old is often new again. Many of the pricier custom pieces of furniture you'll find in high end interior design magazines find their inspiration from the designs of the late 50's and 60's.
A couple by the name of Ray and Charles Eames were instrumental in creating a style of furniture that was as artistic as it was functional. Manufactured by Herman Miller Furniture Company, the designs spawned a bevy of imitators which are still basing much of what you see today on these designs.
These imitators are the ultimate gift to the person looking to add style to their home. Pieces from this era can be located with ease in surprisingly good condition. The furniture was built to last just like the American cars of that era. The lines and shapes of the furniture have inspired designers for year and continue to reappear in new collections year after year. With a little bit of digging in your local classifieds or on EBay, you can pick up a great piece of furniture that will serve you with quality and style for years. And while Eames pieces are often highly sought collector's items, the pieces made by other manufactures can be had for a downright bargain. Firstly this furniture can easily be found today and often in great condition. The quality of the build was second to none American craftsmanship with solid wood throughout. Secondly the designs are timeless, if you find the right piece under the right circumstances (i.e. garage sale), you will have acquired a timeless heirloom that may be worth far more than its purchase price. Thirdly, the many knock offs that were being made at the time were a third of the price of the originals while maintaining an excellent build quality.
This means that high end design is not limited to big time interior designers and TV shows, but anyone who wants to have the look of the Eames Era. Do yourself a favor and give yourself the decor you've always wanted by picking up a great piece of furniture from this legendary time. You also will have an opportunity to own a piece of design history that will give your home character that you can be proud of and your friends and family will admire.
