Making your property stand out this summer is an endeavour that many homeowners will be looking to accomplish. This is invariably achieved by thinking creatively and adding a spot of the wow-factor to your home with a piece of statement furniture. Finding the right piece for you will depend on plenty of factors and will, of course, depend on your own personal tastes and design ideas but let’s take a look at three pieces of quirky seating that will look great in any home as we head into summer:
Fiat 500 Sofa:
Needless to say, if you’re rocking one of these stunning sofas made from old Fiat parts, your living room will no longer be the mundane, same old, same old layout, lifting straight from the pages of the IKEA catalogue. A piece of statement furniture like this clearly isn’t suited to every type of home but for those with contemporary, stylish, open-plan style properties, a Fiat 500 sofa may be just the ticket.
It is exactly the sort of quirky offering that will elevate your interior design efforts to the next level but it is important not to try and complement it with too many other outrageous pieces of furniture. It will probably be prudent to make this the one stand-out piece in the room because having it compete with other bold and striking pieces is unlikely to have the desired effect from a visual point of view. Best paired with understated accessories, truth be told.
You can find it online at Fiat 500 Design.
Eero Aarnio Ball Chair:
The Ball Chair by Eero Aarnio is one of the 20th century’s most iconic pieces of designer furniture and it is of little surprise that it is equally as popular in today’s contemporary homes as it was when it was released in the swinging 60’s. Whilst it has got a distinct Austin Powers vibe to it, the Eero Aarnio Ball Chair will definitely add a bit of interior design flair to your home if you think carefully about how you implement into your decorative endeavours.
A highly striking piece of furniture, the Ball Chair is another piece that is more suited to the modern style properties, such as contemporary loft style apartments or a modern barn conversion, for example. There are few pieces of designer furniture that can hold a candle to the Ball Chair in terms of its universal appeal and, indeed, comfort – with the New York Times once referring to this piece of seating as the “most comfortable” which, I’m sure we can agree, is praise indeed.
Aarnio was one of the 20th century’s most celebrated designers of furniture and the Ball Chair formed the cornerstone of all he had to offer because it was an instant success because, quite frankly, it was completely unlike anything else on the market at the time. If you’re planning on using the Ball Chair to ramp up your interior design style this summer, make sure you’ve got some wide doorways because they don’t come apart and measure over 1m in width!
You can find Eero Aarnio Ball Chairs online at Swivel UK.
Studio Chairs:
For those wanting their living room to look like the pages of a comic book, these awesome Studio Chairs by the Wrong Shop will certainly tick the right boxes. Wonderfully stylised and eye-catching in the extreme, these really are an excellent piece of statement furniture that will utterly bring a room to life. Great for use as dining chairs, perhaps, or even as seating in a child’s room, they are a vibrant piece of designer furniture that are playful and imaginative.
