Unique Furniture

If you feel like the furniture in your home is a little bit staid for your taste and you want to set your home apart from the rest, you might want to buy some unique furniture. Instead of the hum drum hunting for an Ottoman to match your armchair, unique furniture shopping can be a fun adventure through antique shops, second hand stores, first rate boutiques or even garage sales. Your unique furniture can be an original design from an esteemed artist or something revamped into your own creation.

Unique furniture can be placed up in any room of the house to jazz up otherwise dull décor and add some fun to the ambience. An Egyptian sarcophagus wine rack is definitely a conversation piece. The exterior looks like a piece lifted from a museum, but when you open it up, there is your collection of favorite merlots and chardonnays. Where is the mummy? They gave him a toast for “long life” so he left!

A Roman bar is an uncommon piece of unique furniture, and will certainly create memories. The bar is suspended on four small columns with a Roman mosaic profile in the center. Marble vine leaves are etched on the corners and the sides, and you can sit with a glass of wine on your marble chair with gorgons’ heads at the feet.

If you never expected to fax a message on a busy London street, try a computer area complete with a phone, a fax and tall shelves inside a replica of a classic red London telephone booth. You can have your privacy and fun too with this bright and familiar space.

Try a piece of unique furniture custom designed by an artist. You will never have anyone say “Oh, that’s my coffee table”, and you investment will be an heirloom you can pass down to relatives or sell at a good price. Try end tables with the tops painted in the artists’ signature style, or a coffee table that consists of a piece of glass suspended by a minimalist sculpture.
