WARM AND FUZZY

WARM AND FUZZY 
By: Pojie Pambid

August at OUR HOME elicits an atmosphere like no other. The whole store is replete with furniture and furnishings that spell comfort, a cozy ambiance and an over-all air of warmth and luxury. Coupled with the preponderance in the use of muted colors and a neutral palette, the look is unmistakably posh, the feel is comforting, and the mood is warm and fuzzy.

The entrance focal highlights a pair of warm, deep beige couches. The pair automatically draws attention to the setting. A taupe leather, lounging recliner serves as an accent chair to the setting reinforcing the restful feel of the space while underfoot, a thick area rug with swirls of beige and gray designs add to the comfort level. A carefully curated collection of tables provide an eclectic mix to compliment the seating pieces. Starting off with the center tables, a pair of nesting tables in a wood finished surface paired with a rough cast iron base gives off a rustic accent while at the same time also providing an interesting mix of materials. Next is a bowl shaped accent table in a walnut finish that also serves as storage and then a chest of drawers or a lowboy accentuated the corner. Cast iron handles in black readily blends with the other black accents of the setting eliciting a cohesive and consistent feel. A brass and glass droplight above highlights the luxurious feel while the same can be said in the choice of table lamps, each with a brass and chrome beige with taupe shades. A pair of tall phicus trees adds a vertical element and a fresh and organic feel while the entire tableau is set against black French wrought iron panels instantly creating am dramatic contrast.

A long, oval, wooden, walnut-finished dining table takes center stage in the dining tableau. The table is in itself, a conversation piece not only because of its length but also because of the sculptural wooden base that supports the surface. Beige dining chairs complete the setting. Upholstered in a plain beige fabric, the simple yet stately color compliments the wood finish of the chairs quite well. Designed in the Scandinavian style, the chairs also exhibit sculptural characteristics in the way that the legs and the back seamlessly blend into one continuous frame. The design also highlights a very important ergonomic factor that allows for the ultimate in comfort and function. Off to one side of the tableau, a tallboy/chest of drawers also in the same walnut finish creates a vertical foil to an otherwise horizontal feel of the space, instilling an air of elegance and formality. Again, tall phicus trees provide the green feel and also reinforces a vertical element while area rugs provide a sense of style and luxury. The dining tableau is set against a backdrop of black arches to reinforce the dramatic mood.

Pine with walnut undertones are appreciated in the bedframe design for the bedroom tableau. The combination gives off a casual feel while at the same time still provide that warmth and comfort that every bedroom needs.  The headboard is covered in a padded beige leather fabric to soften the look and feel of the space while also providing additional comfort and luxury. A pair of bedside tables in walnut finish complement the bedframe and on top, beige lamp shades on glass bases provide illumination. Above, a trio of brass and black pendant lamps offer additional lighting while staying true to the color palette. The bed is covered in a polyblend of cotton and satin sheets in a combination of beige and taupe, for a comfortable yet posh feel while maintaining a neutral color scheme. An area rug in khaki at the foot of the bed adds warmth and anchors a long footstool in a combination of beige fabric and walnut wood. Towards the base of the bed, a TV console, also in walnut wood provides an entertainment option and on the side, a reproduction of a Charles and Ray Eames lounger and ottoman adds a Mid-Century Modern appeal.
