Contemporary Home Furniture

I live in Birmingham, AL and I am looking for home office furniture. I do not want the typical rooms to go or Ashley furniture, I have already been and do not like the selection.

try Office Depot, or even Office MAX

Contemporary Furniture Making: Rowden Farm Workshop, Home of Finest Contemporary Furniture. Situated in Devon England this workshop is making some ...

We are moving and I would like to get some new, contemporary furniture to suit our new home. However I am nervous that any of the traditional shops I visit may well go bust before they delivery my stuff to me, and Im not sure which online sites can be trusted. Anybody point me at a good, solid and reliable retailer with some attractive pricing and a wide range?

I used these guys just before Christmas - macandmac interiors contemporary furniture. They were great, really friendly on the phone and they used their own delivery guys, who put all my furniture up and in place for me. Really couldn't fault them, and they have been trading for years too.

My Husband and I are moving into our first home together and need suggestions as to where to buy some decent contemporary furniture...i.e. dining room set, couches, cocktail table, etc. We'll even buy on line if need be. We live in milwaukee but are willing to drive a bit if it good stuff. We just really want a cool dining and living room. Any thoughts?

Ikea in Schaumburg might be a good place to start. It's only an hour away, but you'll need a truck to get everything home!! It's still cheaper than paying shipping costs!

I guess I almost feel like a minority in my own country with lack of home decor products which are comtemporary in looks. Everywhere you go, its the same heavy traditional crap. The only place you can find most modern stuff is online. It's sad that while in Europe designers are as big as film stars but here people don't give a damn about any designer products.What's wrong with our country?

Mainly its a durability and affordability problem. To get the contemporary look that lasts with kids and everything it costs a pretty penny. Plus many americans are collectors of trinkets and things. this lends their nature to be more eclectic in how they decorate not uniform.
So modern is out and traditional, expansive is in. its slowly changing with what is being sold to kids, and what is in a lot of condos is being transferred.

I've just moved into a new rented apartment and like it very much. Before we moved in, the landlord has spent a lot of money renovated the dining room and spent a lot of time on the wooden paneling. This paneling is not to my taste at all, in the rest of the house it is painted white which looks light and airy, but in this room it is a dark teak color. I want to make this room an office so I can work at home and want to soon buy some furniture. However, I am at a loss at how to decorate this room. Should I go for an Old-English style drawing room look complete with leather chesterfield sofa or would it look to good to contrast the old paneling with contemporary furniture which is more to my taste. I'm not an interior designer so don't have the vision. What do you reckon?

You're smart to appreciate your landlords hard work.
I know your situation, I lived in apartment with dark panaling, but they let me paint it.
Don't worry about matching your furniture to it.
It's there to complement the apartment, thats it.
It should also complement your furniture, not your furniture complement the wall.
You say you like contemporary furniture, and you want to brighten up the place. Buy furniture to do that. You won't get any work done in an office you're not comfortable in.
Get furniture you like. Sounds like you have pretty good taste, you'll make it work.
