Meet the Brand: Scout Home Furniture

Scout Home creates pieces for the inspired home using trends, materials, and styles that have been sourced from around the world. With sleek lines and unique details, Scout Home furniture is a great option for people looking for high-quality and innovative furniture design in their home.

What They’re Known For

Primarily, Scout Home designs foundational furniture pieces (like sofas, dining tables, and beds) and accent seating. With the combination of the high-quality materials they use, the solid construction and craftsmanship, and their resulting price point, Scout Home furniture is definitely an investment brand. But these are solid pieces of furniture that you’ll have forever. Style-wise, they hit very similar notes as Crate & Barrel. In fact, Scout Home is a leading furniture provider for brands like Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn.

Why We Love Them

Scout Home makes solid, durable pieces of furniture—with an eye toward sustainability. Many of their pieces are made from reclaimed wood or recycled materials. Specifically, they use responsibly sourced hardwood for furniture frames; their top-grain leather uses non-toxic, transparent dyes; and when possible they use handcrafted reclaimed and recycled woods.

But these pieces aren’t just more sustainable than the average furniture—they’re also quite stylish. Scout Home furniture falls into a variety of style categories, from Rustic and Traditional to Modern, Scandinavian, and Mid-Century. With this blend, many of their pieces hit California Modern and Modern Rustic trends really well. (We love.) This mix of styles results in some very trendy pieces, but also a lot of timeless designs that can be foundational pieces in your home throughout your life.

Dechlan Bench, Heather Twill Stone

This upholstered bench is great for Modern Rustic homes—either in an entryway, at the end of your bed, or as extra seating in your living room.

Lexa Rattan Bunching Table, Natural Cross Weave

This fun, boho-inspired rattan coffee table will add some eclectic charm to any living room. Place a tray on top for drinks, candles, or coffee table books—or leave it empty so it’s always ready for you to kick up your feet and relax!

Fulcher Dining Table, Waxed Bleached Oak

This beautiful oak dining table is made of reclaimed wood that’s bleached to remove years of paint and stain. It’s then finished with stain and wax to give it a perfectly rustic look. But it’s not just for rustic styles. This solid table transcends styles and can be a fixture in any home, to be enjoyed for years and years to come.

Vesper Dining Chair, Sandy Oak

We love this sculptural oak dining chair, which stylistically sits somewhere between a wishbone and Windsor chair. The result? A fun and eclectic dining chair with Mid-Century vibes that can be easily mixed with other dining chair styles (even slipcovered captain’s chairs!). The sandy finish highlights the natural grain of the oak.

Anarine Console Table, Waxed Bleached Pine

A trio of curved supports gives this console table some beautiful French country, rustic vibes. The shape, combined with the warm wood finish, makes this the perfect piece to put in an entryway for a little extra storage and style.

Juniper Hand-Carved Rug, Green

The rich green hue of this hand-knotted rug gives it a luxurious sensibility, and a subtle triangle pattern adds visual depth. The result? A simple rug that is anything but plain. But it’s not just beautiful; it’s also super durable and is great for high-traffic areas.

Everett Sofa, Sienna Brown

This piece is what modern leather sofa dreams are made of. It’s clean, Mid-Century lines gives it modern appeal, but with a rich brown leather that will patina beautifully, it’s a sofa style that can be at home with almost any design style. Easy to clean, it’s a great kid- and pet-friendly sofa.

Hingham Ottoman, White

Cane furniture is having a big moment in the design world right now. And we think this fun ottoman, with it’s four caned sides, is a great way to try on the trend. Ever versatile, it could double as a side table, or, as a pair, could create a cool coffee table!

Lucia Nightstand, Brown

Here’s another fun way to try on the cane trend. This honey-finished oak nightstand has a single drawer for storage, with a pill-shaped cane front. It’s perfect for a Scandinavian Modern bedroom. (Bonus: Scout Home makes a matching bed and two coordinating dressers for a beautiful bedroom set!)

Athena Accent Chair, White

This beautiful, simple accent chair gives a subtle nod to traditional styles, but with the raw nature of the wood frame, it has some definite rustic influences. Though it has a simple design, the fluffy cushions make this a comfy seat.

Asby Dining Table, Reclaimed Mango

Modern take on a wooden dining table, this piece is super streamlined and can transition well across styles. It’s made of a mix of reclaimed wood, giving it some natural patina from the get-go; and it will only get better with time. With its warmer wood finish, it works well in Mid-Century Modern spaces.

Wyola Windsor Chair, Sandy Oak

This is a Mid-Century Modern-meets-Traditional dining chair if we’ve ever seen one. Made in a traditional Windsor style, it’s a cleaner, more modern take on the classic. With it’s light finish, it’s the perfect chair for a California Modern or Scandinavian space.

Fiddler Chair, Knoll Natural/Distressed Natural

We think this cozy accent chair would be great for a living room or nursery! With boucle upholstery and an intriguing form, this chair makes a statement—and invites you to curl up and stay awhile.

Elkin Coffee Table, Ebony

Looking for a round, drum-style coffee table? This might be the perfect pick. It features a bold, high-contrast dark wood finish on the sides, starburst wood graining on the top, and brass rings on the top and bottom edges—making it quite the stunner.

Lilly Sofa With Chaise, White

This is the perfect sectional for the whole family to spread out on! But it’s not purely functional; its clean lines give it a classically transitional look that will look at home mixed with a variety of styles.

Wiley Pillow, Blue (Set of 2)

The rich blue hue of this pair of accent pillows makes them great pillows for layering on your bed or sofa. Woven with a cotton/linen blend, they have a lovely texture that gives a causal, refined air to any space.

Ellis Nightstand, Brown

The light wood finish and clean silhouette gives this two-drawer nightstand some serious Scandi-inspired vibes. It’s a fairly simple design—but the leather-wrapped drawer pulls and iron accents on the legs make this piece feel really special.

Textured Round Ottoman, Natural

Accent your living room with this large, round ottoman! (It’s 36 inches across!) Whether you use it as additional seating or a coffee table, this textural boucle piece is bound to receive lots of compliments.

Danish Bookcase, Sienna

This Scandi-inspired bookcase can be the answer to all of your storage needs. It’s simple design and light, natural finish lends a vintage look to the oak shelving. It looks beautiful on it’s own—but you could also place two or three side-by-side for a styled statement storage wall.

Parawood Coffee Table, Light Brown

With a rounded table top and thick-triangular pedestal legs, this wood coffee table gives you a sturdy surface for decor, drinks, and kicking up your feet. Made of parawood (also known as rubberwood) this table is inspired by modern European design but can fit beautifully among a variety of design styles.

Meet The Brand: Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids

We’ve worked hard to grow our digital catalog with amazing Modsy brands—from well-known retailers to budding designers to cool under-the-radar bands. All to say, our catalog is ever-evolving. And you can get a peek into some of our favorite partners in our Modsy Brand Spotlights where we feature some of the stylish and affordable pieces you’ll find in your 3D designs.

Here, as a follow-up to our CB2 spotlight, we’re featuring the rest of the fam: Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids!

Meet The Brands: Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids

Crate & Barrel was founded more than 55 years ago by a husband-and-wife duo. The couple, inspired by their European honeymoon, wanted to bring simple and beautiful housewares to the U.S. Eventually, they opened their first brick-and-mortar store. It’s where the name Crate & Barrel came from: Crates were used as display cases. The brand also quickly set itself apart as a pioneer in ‘experiential retail’ with stylized vignettes inside its stores.

Today, Crate & Barrel has become a household design retail name. And in 2001, the brand acquired the kids home decor company, Land of Nod, and rebranded it into Crate & Kids.

What They’re Known For

Within the Crate family, each brand offers a unique style of furnishings for the home. Crate & Barrel offers modern-leaning transitional furnishings that are perfect for the family home; cb2 has sleek contemporary designs tailored to the urbanites, apartment living, and young families; and Crate & Kids features kids furnishings and decor across a range of styles and price points.

If you’re looking for tailored modern designs, Crate & Barrel is a popular one-stop shop for today’s home lovers. You’ll find cool furniture pieces for indoors and outdoors, such as modular Crate & Barrel bar stools and outdoor furniture, as well as a wide selection of polished tableware, like Crate & Barrel bowls and linens. More recently, Crate & Barrel have launched incredible collaborations with well-known celebrities and designers to create on-trend collections that have been highly sought-after.

Looking for stylish kids furnishings that are made to last? You’ll find an equally diverse mix of cool and colorful designs from Crate & Kids. Some of our favorite finds include Crate & Kids rugs and bedding, along with the brand’s practical and child-friendly modular Crate & Kids bookshelf designs, which are always thoughtfully designed for nurseries and kids rooms. You can find more of our Crate & Kids must-haves in our kids room furniture checklist.

Axis II 3-Seat 105″ Grande Sofa, Douglas Camel

Why We Love Them

Additionally, across Crate & Barrel, cb2, and Crate & Kids, the company collaborates with over hundreds of artists and designers from all over the world to ensure top-quality, handcrafted products that are built to last while supporting creatives. It’s also the reason they are able to offer a diverse mix of styles that are universally appealing and perfect for home-lovers who have more transitional (in-between) tastes.

Most of all, Crate & Barrel and Crate & Kids offer a sophisticated selection that comes at mid-range price points that are hard to beat. It’s one of our favorite affordable go-to retailers given the great quality and style you get for the price you pay!

Hopson Sectional: This Joybird sectional is a practical investment piece for a wide range of different spaces, and its reversible chaise lets you arrange it to fit your specific needs. The low profile and deep seat make it a comfy seat that accommodates many people for lounging, while the neutral upholstery makes this a versatile sectional to pair with many different color schemes.

If you’re trying to decide whether a sectional is for you, get some inspo from our living room design ideas!

Elliot Chair: A wide and deep club chair that’s designed for hours of lounging, you can place a pair of these seats in any living room corner to create an instant conversation spot. The back cushion tufting and tapered wood legs give the chairs a Mid-century Modern look, and the streamlined silhouette will look especially great with any of Joybird’s neutral upholstery fabrics.

Hughes Sofa: With its classic Mid-century shape, flared arms, and rounded back, this Joybird sofa is a contemporary statement piece in any living room, bedroom, or family media room. It feels tailored yet still has casual, playful appeal, and opting for this royal blush pink upholstery will give it a bold and fun pop.

Soto Rocking Chair: This fresh take on a classic rocking chair features an angular design that’s perfect for a nursery or kids room. Similar to other Joybird furniture, it has a minimal and modern shape that’s easy to pair with other clean-lined pieces. Play up the warm wood tone of the chair frame with brightly colored seat cushions that add an eclectic pop.

Bradshaw Chair: These Mid-century Modern-style armchairs rank high on our list of Joybird furniture must-haves. Made with warm natural wood, the sloped-arm and open frame design gives the chair an airy and approachable look and feel. Pair it with a bright and bold seat cushion color to inject instant zest and style into a living room, office, or bedroom.

Hughes Bed: This tufted and streamline bed offers a fresh take on Mid-century style that’s perfect for today’s bedroom. The raised wood base and tapered legs add warmth to the cozy upholstered bed. Try a sumptuous gray upholstery fabric for a neutral that makes the bed a versatile foundation you can easily layer with a wide range of bright and soft colors.

Levi Chair: For a comfy reading chair you can sink into (and even nap in!), this deep seat with a slightly reclined back is the perfect stylish option. It has Mid-century clean lines but works beautifully in transitional, contemporary, and modern interiors. Opt for a bold color upholstery to set it apart from the rest of your furniture in a room.

Jolie Accent Chair: Featuring a stunning curved silhouette and a cantilever seat design, this accent chair is made to be used in multiples—be it a pair in an office or a set around a dining table. The full barrel seat hugs and provides comfortable support for hours, while the open brass base offers tons of leg room below. Opt for bright velvet upholstery for an added touch of bold texture and glam style.

Eliot Sofa: This timeless Joybird sofa is an extra-elegant statement piece when upholstered in a bold-hued leather. The modern rectilinear design makes it an instant focal point in any living space, and tufting detail will give it a super tailored and elevated look. Float the sofa in an open living space or set it against a bare while wall to give it centerstage in a room.

Camille Bed: Nothing adds warmth and cozy vibes to a bedroom like a fully upholstered bed. With its deep panel tufting, this bed exudes Art Deco flair but has a modern elegance that makes it perfect for any bedroom or guest room in today’s home. We love it in a soft playful pink upholstery to give it a tailored yet tasteful and romantic feel.

Zavier Desk: Love the Mid-century Mad Men vibe? This executive-style desk nails the look with its angular design and sculptural base with a center cutout. It comes with a large table surface for doing serious work while drawers on both sides of the desk add practical storage. If you’re looking for a modern desk that’s practical but still has tons of personality, this one has it all.

Butler Console: Sophisticated, modern, and functional, this low-profile console cabinet adds instant streamlined style to any space while providing tons of practical storage. The dark-wood finish makes it versatile for both casual and formal spaces, andthe tapered legs keep it from appearing too bulky in rooms. Use it as a catchall and display in an entry, a TV stand in the living room, or a bar cabinet in a dining space.

Hudson Coffee Table: Joybird furniture is known for their pieces designed for small-space living, and this stunning round coffee table is the perfect piece for apartments and compact living rooms. It has a very sculptural and design-forward look, and the natural raw wood pairs seamlessly with furnishings in different styles, from eclectic to rustic to contemporary.

Blythe Dresser: This large dresser provides tons of storage in a room without appearing bulky thanks to its tall-standing brass legs and clean lines.

Meet the Brand: Bhawan Textiles

April 7, 2021/0 Comments/in About Modsy, Brand Spotlights /by Modsy

Today, we’d like to introduce you to a favorite brand for beautiful, affordable rugs: Bhawan Textiles.

Meet the Brand: Bhawan Textiles

Bhawan Textiles has a beautiful array of high-quality rugs in both synthetic and natural fibers. If you’re wondering how to choose a rug, this brand is a great place to start. And their beautiful rugs come in many different sizes, so once you find a rug design you like, you can easily choose the right rug size for your space. Bhawan Textiles also often collaborates with well-known designers and artists for special, limited-edition collections—so, check back often for new releases! This is one of our favorite brands to turn to for vintage-inspired rug designs. They’re also a great option if you’re also a fan of brands like West Elm, CB2, or ZGallerie.

What They’re Known For

Bhawan rugs are known for their beautiful patterns and hand-woven quality. This brand creates rug designs that are timeless and approachable across styles. A large array of their rugs are designed in vintage-inspired, oriental patterns—but they have a ton of more modern and geometric designs as well.

Why We Love Them

Bhawan Textiles offers innovative and well-designed rugs at affordable prices. So, no need to keep asking yourself, “Why are Rugs so Expensive?” Because Bhawan rugs are finally an affordable but high-quality option for your home! From shags to printed, power-loomed rugs, the quality cannot be beat at these price points. We love their colorful and timeless patterns, too. With a majority of Bhawan rugs being woven of synthetic fibers in low-pile or flat weave designs, their rugs are also easy to care for and vacuum.

Our Stylist Picks from Bhawan Textiles

Indiana Rug, Red/Navy

This rug is designed in a traditional palette of navy and red—but in a fresh and lively pattern. The classic medallion pattern in center, with the border design, adds an old-world, sophisticated, flair to this rug, helping ground a more modern living room.

Anton Rug, Orange

The Anton rug, part of the Bhawan Textiles Layla rug collection, features beautiful, unique patterning. With bright, high-contrast colors in the weave, we love the subtle southwest vibes. It goes well in a traditional style space, but it would also feel at home in an eclectic space.

Evelyn Rug, Red

This modern and abstract rug is brimming with movement. While this rug’s design features a bright wash of color, it’s done in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming due to the simple brush stroke pattern. The result is a rug that feels trendy, energized, and truly eye-catching.

Indiana Rug, Cobalt Blue/Spice

This rug is an absolute classic, from its timeless pattern to the deep color palette of rusty browns/reds and navy blue. It’s a rug that really grounds the room and feels a touch formal and sophisticated, making it perfect for traditional homes. But it can also balance out more modern elements in a space—allowing it to translate into homes of almost any style.

Mariah Rug, Red

We love the bold, saturated colors and southwestern flair of the Mariah rug. The beautiful geometric pattern (inspired by antique Turkish and Persian kilims) draws in your eye and energizes the room. And the color palette can complement either a neutral or color-filled room!

Lennox Rug, Ivory/Multi

This is a fun and eclectic rug with a ‘loose’ pattern and intentional fading to give it an antiqued vibe. But the use of bold colors in the patterning contrasts with the patina, giving this rug a unique and energized look. Bonus: The low pile is stain-resistant, fade-resistant, colorfast, and doesn’t shed.

Ceyla Rug, Rose

We love how the soft rose color in the Ceyla rug contrasts with the bold, dark outline in this rug’s design. The results are simply stunning! This antique-inspired, geometric motif is modernized by the rich color palette—and the striation of colors gives the rug depth.

Malin Rug, Grey

Here’s something a little different: a faux cowhide rug. Unlike real hide, this rug is more durable and easy to clean. It’s perfect on its own or layered over another rug. We love the embellishment of artistically placed gold and silver flecks on the hide, adding a glamorous effect.

Nenna Rug, Denim/Natural

This light blue rug is airy and classic—perfect for modern and traditional spaces alike. The traditional but energetic pattern gets a vintage look with the faded yarn weave, giving the rug a beautiful patina.

Lennox Rug, Pink/Midnight

The bold and saturated pink in this rug adds a punch of color to any room. We love that this rug is designed in a traditional style but the modern color choice makes it feel fresh and bright. This is the type of rug that’s like a work of art—but one that’s laid on your floor rather than hung up on your walls! This rug is also stain-resistant, fade-resistant, colorfast, and doesn’t shed.

Gregar Rug, Sky/Multi

While many of Bhawan Textile rugs are made of synthetic materials, this one is made of 100% wool by skilled artisans in India. Soft to the touch and boasting a whimsical floral motif, it’s a fun addition to any space. The tassels add a boho flair, and we love how the pastel shades are mixed with deeper hues for added visual contrast.

Brand Spotlight: Pottery Barn, PB Teen, and Pottery Barn Kids

March 22, 2021/0 Comments/in About Modsy, Brand Spotlights /by Modsy

Today, we’re talking about an old favorite: Pottery Barn.

Meet the Brand: Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, and PB Teen

Pottery Barn was founded in 1949, and today it is part of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. family of brands. The brand was first created when brothers Paul and Morris Secon discovered three barns full of pottery in upstate New York and built up a chain of stores selling their wares. (This is where the name Pottery Barn comes from, in case you’ve ever wondered!) Today, Pottery Barn creates high-end home furnishings in American updated-traditional style. Within the brand, you’ll find different furniture and decor collections that showcase the breadth of looks they create—including some mid-century-inspired and rustic design ideas.

Under the Pottery Barn umbrella, you’ll also find Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen (or, PB Teen). Pottery Barn Kids was established in 1999 by two moms who wanted to create safe and stylish furniture for their children. This line of kids room furniture caters to the needs of children and focuses on functionality. But their pieces are also dedicated to both furniture and environmental safety. This line features pieces for babies up through school-aged kids—from cribs to kids desks, playroom furniture, toys, and more. PB Teen was founded a few years later, in 2003, with a focus on trendy, quality furniture for preeteen bedrooms up through college dorm rooms. Their product lines are teen-focused to help create spaces that teens will love, with style that parents will approve of.

What They’re Known For

Pottery Barn is known for creating very comfortable and livable furniture. They have a high-end style but are built for everyday living, and have proved to be a great option for families with kids and pets. Though mass produced, they have a rustic, homey quality that feels personalized and spans interior design styles. But they don’t just do furniture. They’re also known for quality bedding and bath products like duvet covers, sheets, towels, and more. And their large retail stores are set up in a way to give you an immersive experience with their products while you shop.

Pottery Barn Kids is known for creating customizable items for kids to make pieces special for each individual child—including monograms and many color options. They’re also known for creating stylish furniture that can grow up with your child. Pottery Barn Kids desks and chairs are perfect for those who are homeschooling or doing distance learning! PB Teen is known for their hip and trendy furniture decor, including their pop culture collections. They’re probably most well-known for their popular Pottery Barn Teen Harry Potter collection! PB Teen creates solutions-based furniture for studying and organization (we love Pottery Barn Teen desks!), resulting in multifunctional pieces for teens. But they also make fun lounge furniture, quality bedding, and quirky decor and accessories that allows a teen to really personalize their space.

Why We Love Them

All three brands under the Pottery Barn umbrella create quality items that are built to last, and designed in a timeless style. We love how many options they have for upholstery and materials, so you can truly customize your pieces. Their staple furniture feels homey and traditional—but they also release new and trendy collections annually to keep things fresh. So, while you know what aesthetic to expect from Pottery Barn, with these collections you’ll never get bored with their selections!

Our Stylists’ Picks from Pottery Barn

York Slope Arm Slipcover Sofa

This classic slipcovered sofa embodies Pottery Barn’s updated-traditional aesthetic. The neutral fabric can go with almost any color schemes, and the deep seat makes this sofa comfortable for lounging. It also offers a dash of sophistication with its shapely lines and full-front skirt. A true chameleon piece, it can be at home in formal and casual spaces alike!

Toscana Buffet

This buffet’s light, washed wood finish that feels both modern and coastal. While a large piece, it has an airy vibe while offering loads of surface space and internal storage. And we love the glass panels of the doors, which offer a peek inside—the perfect opportunity to style and show off some books or other decor (with no dusting required)!

Clara Upholstered Armchair

This is a small, compact chair with big style. With tight upholstery on the seat and a classy tufted back, it’s a comfortable but sophisticated piece. And its low profile makes it feel more casual and accessible. In fact, it perfectly embodies Pottery Barn furniture’s classic-but-approachable aesthetic. It’s also a perfectly sized armchair for smaller spaces!

Nash Leather Desk Chair & Francisco Drafting Desk

We love the combo of this leather desk chair and drafting desk. The leather on this chair is easy-to-clean and durable, and the deeply cushioned seat and back—with extra padding in the lumbar section—makes this chair very ergonomic. But the chanel-tufted back and mid-century style gives this chair some serious style. Stylish and practical? We dig it.

We paired this office chair with the Francisco drafting desk, which features a wood top and metal legs. This industrial-style Pottery Barn desk offers ample surface space for spreading out with both your computer and paperwork. And there’s also a ton of leg room underneath due to the style of the frame!

Turner Square Arm Sectional in Leather

Looking for a classic piece of Pottery Barn furniture? This handsome leather sectional offers a ton of seating to your living room or family room. With its L-shape, it can fit snugly into a corner or floating in the room, like in the design above. The burnished bourbon leather looks aged but is comfortable, long-lasting, and gives this sectional a timeless look. It’s the perfect choice for a family room or a living room for people who love to entertain!

Printer’s 64″ Writing Desk with Drawer

This weathered black Pottery Barn desk gives the look of an antique while being a new and durable desk. Its turned legs adds visual appeal and a traditional-style element, while its single drawer adds just enough storage space for keeping office supplies near-at hand. At 64 inches long, it offers a large surface area—but because of its simple, airy design, it doesn’t take over whatever space it’s in. This desk is also available in chestnut and seadrift finishes.

Aiden Paneled Mirror & Benchwright Buffet

We love the frame of this paneled mirror—antiqued wood in a vintage finish. It gives this piece an artisanal look. With the illusion of being a window pane, this mirror is perfect for smaller or darker spaces in your home where you also want to add a touch of vintage rustic charm. Meanwhile, the rustic mahogany buffet is a beautiful storage piece that would be at home in any room of your house. With its durable, solid wood construction and timeless design, this piece adds ample hidden storage and beauty to your home.

Reyes Leather Chair

With lower-profile armrests, a wide backrest, and a T seat cushion for extra leg room, this armchair is built for comfort and relaxation. The tapered legs give it some mid-century flair, but the leather upholstery keeps it timeless and traditional. And with different shades of leather to choose from, you can find the exact right tone for your space.

Benchwright Table

This large, solid dining table has a bold presence. Grooves and saw marks on the wood’s surface gives the look of salvaged lumber to this industrial-inspired dining table. But it’s not just about the looks with this table. It’s also extendable—making it practical for entertaining and large family gatherings.

Whitney Shuttered Desk

We love this bright and airy desk, with its shutter-front detailing. The wooden top gives it a rustic touch, while the black hardware adds a contemporary feel. Its transitional shape and coloring allows it to be at home in a variety of homes and styles—from coastal and contemporary to rustic and traditional. It also offers a ton of concealed storage to help keep your home office organized!

Bosworth Hand-Tufted Rug

Pottery Barn rugs are inspired by traditional patterns and colors, bringing a timeless quality into your home. The Bosworth rug has a beautiful antique-inspired design, with a timeworn look. This rug is hand-tufted of 100% wool, and yarn dyed for lasting, vibrant color. Its simple, pleasing pattern adds just enough visual interest, and the blue-grey coloring makes it very versatile—so it can work across multiple styles.

Sausalito Bed

We love the woven caning in this headboard, paired with the weathered wood platform bed. The turned wood detailing on the legs is a lovely detail that makes it unique from other platform beds out there. This Pottery Barn bed particularly suits a coastal bedroom, but would be at home in a variety of styles, including rustic and traditional spaces. Pair it with some Pottery Barn bedding to drive home your desired look!

Fairview Upholstered Armchair

This contemporary armchair combines plush upholstery with a slender, mid-century-inspired frame. The seat angle back ever-so-slightly, making it perfect for leaning back and reading or lingering in conversation. The neutral upholstery can easily go with a variety of styles and color palettes, making this armchair quite versatile!

Ludlow Trunk Dresser

This Industrial-style dresser gives us visions of travelling by train, with all our belongings packed not in a suitcase but a trunk. In fact, the leather drawer handles, decorative nailheads, metal edging, and reinforced metal corners give it the look of a repurposed antique trunk. And the rest of the finish is made to look like a weathered canvas! We love the unique look of this dresser—which makes a perfect standalone clothing storage piece, or an oversized nightstand/dresser combo in a smaller bedroom.

Reed Dining Chair

These weathered wood dining chairs are constructed in such a way that they appear to be made of one solid piece of wood. With their simple lines and warm, natural finish, these well-constructed dining chairs blend a modern aesthetic with rustic warmth. A more compact design, they’re good chairs for smaller spaces—whether you’re using them around the table or as a spare accent chair elsewhere in your home.

Our Stylists’ Picks from Pottery Barn Kids

Comfort Swivel Glider

As its name implies, this Pottery Barn Kids chair is super comfortable—great for rocking and nursing babies. And, since unexpected spills and diaper malfunctions are par for the course with little ones, we love that this glider is slipcovered for easy cleaning. You can also change out the slipcover when you’re ready for a fresh look! Designed in a very versatile color and style, this glider can be used in a nursery or living room—wherever you want a comfortable place to rock!

Paper Mache Moon Light

Your child needs some soft lighting in their bedroom—and this paper mache moon light offers a practical and adorable solution. This light is great for babies and young children. Since the light is so soft and diffused, it can even be used as a nightlight. And, though you can hang it up, it plugs into the wall, so it can easily be moved around to anywhere it’s needed.

Tucker Toy Chest

What kid wouldn’t love a toy chest? And what parent doesn’t love a way for their kids to easily and quickly clean up at the end of the day?? This top-hinged toy chest is a stylish place to put toys and gives kids an easy way to access their stuff. And we love the cute details—like the “games” applique on the side and the leather handles—which make this a stylish addition to any playroom or bedroom. It’s a perfect piece for parents exploring shared kids bedroom ideas, as it offers ample space to store two kids’ toys and games!

Blythe Tufted Canopy Bed & Farmhouse 2-Drawer Nightstand

This canopy bed has some major princess vibes. It makes a big statement, with or without the curtains. The tufted headboard gives it a very sophisticated look (while also giving your kiddo a comfy place to read before bed). And the canopy fabric comes off the frame for easy cleaning—and can be removed altogether for a fresh look!

This shaker-style nightstand is a perfect companion to the Blythe canopy bed. With both closed storage and a lower shelf for books or baskets, there’s plenty of room for bedside storage. It has a fairly simple design, which allows it to go with a variety of color palettes and styles. But we love that the weathered wood finish gives it a bit of a trendy vibe.

Booksmart Shelving Book Rack

We’re big believers in keeping books close at hand. So, we love this space-saving book rack—a perfect kids room design idea for when you’re short on space. You can hang it near your child’s bed or a reading chair, and hang it low enough that they can access their favorite books on their own. It’s a stylish but practical piece that’s perfect for a kids’ bedroom!

Emerson Dresser and Topper

This stylish weathered wood dresser has eight drawers for all your child’s clothing. For nurseries, a matching topper adds a place to change your baby’s diaper without needing to bring in an extra piece of furniture. (We love a good all-in-one, space-saving solution!) The topper can be easily removed when your baby is out of diapers—leaving you with a stylish dresser that can grow up with them.

Our Stylists’ Picks from Pottery Barn Teen

Woven Cave Chair

We love this tropical-inspired egg-style chair. It offers a cozy place to chill and relax (for teens and adults alike). It’s a unique piece that offers a woven surround that makes you feel like you’re in a cocoon! It has a more casual look that’s best suited to bohemian or mid-century spaces—but it can really go with a variety of styles. Your teen will love that they can personalize this chair with colored cushions and throw pillows to really make it their own!

Hampton Loft Set & Diamond Shag Rug

Looking for a creative teen bedroom design idea? This loft set offers quite the set-up. With a full mattress in the loft bed, your teen will have a little extra room to spread out. Beneath, they have a cool hang space, complete with a cushy loveseat, media console, and bookcase. This 4-in-1 solution is perfect for compact spaces, as it gives you a lot of storage and space, without taking up a ton of square footage. And the white wood finish and streamlined design allows it to blend in with a plethora of design styles. This is something we love about Pottery Barn Teen beds—they’re versatile pieces that are the perfect transition from childhood to adulthood!

Placing this diamond-patterned shag rug beneath the bed, in the hangout space, offers coziness underfoot—creating a soft, plush space to lounge, do homework, and hang with friends. Plus, the color and pattern adds a trendiness to the space!

Grey Leopard Swivel Chair

These plush swivel plush are great for teen hangout areas. They’re low to the ground and plush all the way around—and are upholstered in a trendy leopard print in a faux fur finish! They’re easily the best seat in the house for hanging out, watching movies, or doing homework!

Cynthia Sofa Table:

An industrial-style sofa table with a metal frame and wood shelves, it’s a minimalist-chic console for the entry or living room. The antiqued-finish on the frame and distressed ash veneer give the table a rustic elegance. Accent it with sculptural objects, like weathered vases, bubble glass, and even stacks of old books, for a truly rustic-inspired look.

Deacon Open Chest:

A modern farmhouse chest finished in crisp white with mesh door panels, this makes for a staple storage piece in any rustic or farmhouse space. It also comes with pendant-style pulls made of aged brass, which adds a hint of Old-World vintage flair. Because of the breezy mesh cabinet doors, style the inside shelves with beautiful accent pieces in bright colors for a stylish pop and to make the cabinet stand out.

Eleodoro Bed Bench:

This modern Belden Lane bench with low-profile arms and comfy bolsters adds instant sophisticated style to the foot of any bed.

It doesn’t need any extra pillows, just a pretty throw blanket will give it the perfect textural touch.

Elizabeth Cocktail Table:

It doesn’t get more luxe than this leather-wrapped Belden Lane coffee table with burnished-brass nailhead trim. The two drawers and open bottom shelf offer lots of practical storage, perfect for both a contemporary family home and refined sitting room alike. Arrange the table surface with a tray and a mix of decorative objects and practical accents, like coasters and remotes, to play up the style-meets-function appeal of the table.

Meet the Brand: Milk Street Baby

Milk Street Baby is a furniture company focused on creating safe, sustainable furniture that grows up with your baby. Their cribs are all convertible, allowing you to transition from crib to toddler bed to daybed or full-size bed with ease.

What They’re Known For

Crib safety has always been the driving force behind Milk Street Baby furniture. Their mission is to create beautiful nursery furniture that doesn’t sacrifice safety for design. That’s one of the big reasons Milk Street Baby is one of our favorite nursery furniture brands—because we believe in their high standards around build and quality. Their products not only stand the test of time, but they are safe for even the smallest members of the family. Handcrafted by artisans, each beautiful crib is smartly designed to grow with your baby and surpasses even California’s high safety standards.

Why We Love Them

Milk Street Baby furniture is all engineered in the US and is built and finished by hand. And, since safety is a top priority for this brand, they take care with the chemicals they use as finishing agents on their products. As a result, all Milk Street Baby products…

Are handcrafted by artisans out of certified grade A, and Phase 2 Carb Compliant solid wood.
Feature a 20-step hand-painted finish where every layer is tested. Only aromatic-free coating is used, surpassing USA environmental requirements.
Are Greenguard Gold Certified with low volatile organic compounds (VOC), keeping indoor air safe for your baby.

We also love that Milk Street’s baby room furniture collections minimize waste by growing with your child through add-on conversion kits! These pieces of furniture are crafted to last a lifetime!

Our Stylists’ Picks From Milk Street Baby

Cameo Oval Convertible Crib (Steam)

The piece that put Milk Street Baby on the map, the Cameo crib features an incredible oval spindle window design with French feet and beveled caps. It has a refined and elegant look that feels timelessly charming. This crib will work with a variety of rustic styles, as well as most classic and transitional spaces. We love accenting the decorative window design of the crib with other geometric patterns—such as we did here, with this rug!

True Traditional Crib (Mud/Snow)

And we can’t get enough of the True Traditional Crib, with its contemporary vibe and contrasting spruce wood. And we also love the contrast of the thick, angular frame against the simple spindles. Transitional and contemporary in style, pieces in the True collection are very versatile and create a clean, sleek look. And, the one crib in Milk Street’s catalog without a high back, it allows for more versatility in your nursery layout.

When it comes to nursery color schemes that coordinate with this collection, we like the idea of using earthy accents and colors to pull out that “organic” vibe of the wood. Here, we used an earth-tone color palette with natural materials to accent the wood of the crib and dresser. We also added a few Mid-Century accents to give the space a more modern vibe!

Relic Winchester Crib (Cloud)

The Relic Winchester Crib features a gorgeous inset headboard, evoking a modern renaissance. This crib is ideal for nearly any design style because it is so versatile! Its natural, whitewashed wood gives a fresh and organic vibe. Looking for some nursery design ideas to go with this crib? We like the idea of pairing it with eclectic and vintage pieces to add a bit of unique flair to your baby’s nursery.
