Solid wood is a classic way to create a distinguished opulent look and feel in a room, but not the only way, as this brown chaise lounger proves so well.

The cherry finished legs are beautiful but they are not that dominant in the overall look. What makes this piece of furniture so luxurious is the very shape of the chaise lounger - inviting for a single person to put his or her feet up and relax in peace.

The color is important too, brown as wood, it’s both soothing and masculine at the same time, making this lounger a perfect choice for offices and waiting rooms, as well as a more official living room. It could also work well in a more masculine bedroom, but don’t be afraid to soften it a little with a nice warm throw, ready to be wrapped around some lucky person’s shoulders.

And if you think a lounger is not functional enough, keep in mind that this one hides plenty of storage room there too, right under that seat.

Decorative items can accentuate a room. They don’t have to attract the eye and be too obvious, as this small subdued statue shows. Hand carved in cream and beige colors, it can take time and a state of mind to be noticed. Once a moment has been seized, your guests, or yourself can take the time to look and appreciate the sentiments expressed in this work of art.

The personal theme of relationship, listening and companionship makes this into a great gift too. Something that can be put on display on either in the living room or in a bedroom, to remind one of the presence of a good friend at all times.

Mirrors can be a great way to add a feeling of space to any room, yet at times they may take away from the intimacy you may want to have there. One great solution is a screen of mirrors, which you can choose if and when to place at which room. This screen will hide one side, creating privacy, while creating more room elsewhere.

The three panel divider, with its antique style mahogany frame can fit well into any large room that needs the option for temporary separation. It works well in the bedroom, where the mirror side can be useful for creating a nice private dressing area. It can also be used whenever you need to create a more private sleeping space, breaking a larger room into more intimate corners. When no longer in need, this unit is easy to fold up and store away.

When you combine solid wood, graceful classic lines and a cherry finish, you get that distinguished look that is good enough for royalty. This night stand is not an original Louis Phillipe, but it provides a good example of how period furniture, or furniture inspired by them can create the right atmosphere in a bedroom.

Bedrooms are made for relaxation, so the calming effect of this furniture style can be just perfect. It may not be the focus of the room, but it does accent it. Make sure you balance it out with the right fabrics and textures in the room, to avoid a room that is too formal (unless of course it’s what your aiming for with your design).

This is the kind of furniture that stands the test of time, both in terms of style and functionality. Quality storage, including a felt lined jewelry drawer, and personal space for you to place your belongings as you go to sleep.
