Lobby Sleek

Lobby Sleek

Current decor channels '80s Lobby Chic

Who says a little ’80s lobby love isn’t the design fix for your sleek space?  New finds in marble, metal and mirror can bring a touch of stately glitz to a living room. Surprisingly modern yet evoking the past, these pieces will bring back that giddy feeling of looking up at the skylights in a vast hotel atrium or seeing your reflection in the walls and floor of a bank lobby. Enjoy!

Above we have  (from left to right) a Mirrored Cube from Target, a Nuevo Living Alize Marble End Table from Home Furniture Showroom, and a Greens Flower Pot from Blomus (you can also find Blomus pots in a variety of price ranges through Amazon.com).

And speaking of planters and the like, check out cylinder tables and pots from Master Metal Works (below, left), then fill them with TROPISK greenery from IKEA (below, right). Yes, the plants are real!:

Keep the shine alive with SORGLOS aluminum vases (below, left) and LOTS mirrored tiles (below, right), both from IKEA. Hint: arrange the tiles on a tabletop, then set the vases on the reflective base you’ve created. So sleek, so chic!:

Funny how a few shiny details can bring some much-needed sheen to your dwelling… Hope your day is grand!

    I LOVE marble. I totally need some marble end tables. And, floors. And, counters.
