5 Stunning Sectional Sofas For Luxury Properties

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

A luxury residence is defined by a number of characteristics, including location (such as near a beach or in a gated community), architecture (such as extravagant arches or majestic atriums), and decor (such as designer furniture or modern accessories). When it comes to convenience, the easiest of these three characteristic to change is decor, as with a few new pieces situated throughout central areas of the home, a true makeover can be achieved. To this end, here are 5 exquisite sectional sofas which will add a touch of comfort – and class – to your luxury home:

1. Springfield Italian Designer Sectional v.2 by Moroso

As it is made in Italy, you know right away that this elegant sectional is going to be a superior product in terms of both materials and construction. Designed by the skilled hands of Patricia Uquiola for Moroso, the Springfield Italian Designer Sectional v.2 is a confident declaration on the state of modern furniture, with its appealing silhouette and its classy leather upholstery. This sectional sofa is remarkably comfortable to sit or lie on, and its L-shaped design is perfect for everything from family gatherings and dinner parties to intimate movie nights. Perhaps best of all, it is available in a Left or a Right configuration, meaning the distribution of the piece itself can be customized to suit your living space.

2. B Flat Modern Leather Sectional Sofa by Leolux

Designed by Andreas Reichert and manufactured by Leolux in the Netherlands, the B Flat Modern Leather Sectional Sofa is a pioneer in both form and function, with a gentle silhouette and innovate construction. Thanks to its ratchet-adjusting hinge, the comma-shaped backs can be adjusted to many different positions depending on what the couch is being used for (i.e. watching a movie, taking a nap, talking with friends). For customization purposes, this sectional sofa can be upholstered in any of 39 available leather options, meaning it can easily be color-coordinated to your living space. And, best of all, it is terrifically comfortable to sit or lie in, no matter what position the backs are in!

Ultimate Man Cave Design with a Modern Twist

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

Attention all men!!!  Do read on if any or all of the following applies to your life…

Have you been signing checks and paying credit card bills, spending large sums on decorating your house the way your wife wants to decorate it?  Do you find yourself fighting for some TV time with your kids and your wife?   Would you like a secluded place for poker nights, pool games and sports events? Or would you simply want a retreat where you can relax and reload (similar to what your wife calls “taking a bath”)?  If your answer was “yes” to any of these questions then you are in a need of your own space.  And not just any space, the following tips will help with the design of the ultimate, testosterone exuding, masculinity epitomizing sanctuary or  “man cave,” as the pop culture would label it that is updated with the latest comforts and conveniences.

TV – big screen, flat screen or both are an absolute must in any man cave, but in the modern man cave, the TV must be nestled in a cool home theater entertainment center with built-in LED lighting.  Also great place to hold your TV and media components as well as video game equipment.  See the new models from Milmueble’s 2011 Gallery modern wall unit collection.
