Modern Ceiling Fans

It’s a simple fact: “ceiling fan” and “chic modern design” aren’t typically uttered in the same sentence.  Curiously, though, we’ve managed to round up a decent collection of up-to-the-moment, truly modern ceiling fans worth at least a cursory glance.  Gone, apparently, are the days of oversized fake palm fronds and overwrought, multi-bulb lamps emerging from tacky, ornately affected hunks of wood and metal.  Today’s curation in particular is actually very aerodynamic, with a streamlined jet propeller aesthetic applied to most of the elements we’ve pulled together.  We even uncovered a feat of engineering in the case of the two-blade offering from breakout company Fanimation; it doesn’t even look like it should work, it’s so simple and symmetrical.  And that’s the charm of today’s roundup: there’s nothing fussy — only cool, in more ways than one.

10 Modern Sideboards

While most household furniture serves a simple utilitarian service, sometimes it stands for something too.  Sideboards, for instance, were once the hallmark of opulence, rising to prominence in the 19th century across Western Europe and the United States as it became more common for upper middle class homes to have dining rooms separate from the kitchen and living space.  Today, we’ve rounded up a variety of modern sideboards, from the simplicity of Crate & Barrel’s and Sisko Designs’ offerings to the ornate brilliance of the limited edition Portuguese tile version from Boca de Lobo and a few mod neon pieces in between.  These days, whether our lifestyles are opulent or not, sideboards like these are a chic and unobtrusive way to store flatware and extra baubles and bows best saved for special occasions.  After all, life’s too short not to be at least a little fancy sometimes.

10 Surprisingly Cool Pieces of Wicker Furniture

Generally speaking, wicker furniture isn’t exactly stunning.  We have to admit, though, that since it can be made from environmentally-conscious, sustainable materials, we’re willing to give it a second chance, and that’s why we took a spin around the web today to see what we could find.  In all honesty, it was a pleasant surprise to run across pieces like the unexpected black and white patio set from Borek and the oddly charming (if Ramen-noodle-ish) Pope Chair from PIE Studio founder Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta.  Really, when you get down to it, almost everyone deserves a second chance at some point, and today seems like as good a time as any, given this admittedly eye-catching and eco-friendly roundup.
