Guest Picks: Signature Pieces With Personality
Resolve to invest in a statement furniture or decor piece that reflects your individual style and helps your home work for you
With a new year comes a review of what is working in one's home and what isn't. Spring cleaning is just around the corner, so why not begin looking at the furniture that works well and makes you feel right at home? Adding signature pieces to any room is a way of letting your personality shine through without saying a word. By striking the right balance of function and style, each room in the house has the potential to become a very chic sanctuary that you relish coming home to each and every day. — Shannon from The Simply Luxurious Life
