Live the good life outdoors...New Outdoor Collections!

Introducing Havanna:

Photo Credit: Summer Classics

Unexpected, yet timeless, our Havana collection offers a new take on outdoor furniture. Inspired by open cane weaving, but updated in all-weather, natural resin wicker, plays a textural counterpoint to the black aluminum frame. The gently curved silhouette of this collection play part to this sleek and mid-century modern design.

Sink into the cloud-like comfort of the Montecito collection that features oversized proportions that add to this collections’ intriguing aesthetic design. Inspired by the art of hand woven basketry, the large wicker weave offers a relaxed look and feel to this low, linear profile frame. Our plush, ultra-dense, Trillium Cloud cushion offers optimal comfort as it mimics the characteristics of natural down, but is entirely hypoallergenic. Montecito is finished in our UV resistant, N-Dura resin wicker for a worry-free experience with the look of natural materials.

Introducing Newport:

With the 1950’s beach look of vintage rattan furniture, White Label’s Newport collection combines the beauty of indoor and outdoor rooms. A subtle brush finish applied to the N-Dura Resin material adds a nice texture that gives the pieces a natural finish. The designer line mixes elegantly with other pieces in the White Label collection.

DUH Style: Pillow Pairing 101

We have a little bit of a formula when it comes to pillow patterns– we like to mix a solid (with or without trim), an organic (floral, ikat, etc.) and a small scale or geometric.  The scales are all different, which is important! Layer in a nubby throw on a neutral sofa and you will have years of movie nights with the family. Add one of our luxurious Oushak rugs, a beach friendly sisal or a hide under foot to complete your living room look. Sneak a peek of our suggested options below!

COMBOS TO AVOID:

• All geometric patterns together

• All the same scale pattern

• All the same material (we like to mix velvet, linen, wovens, fur, etc. to create texture)

Get The Look : Funky Farmhouse

Funky farmhouse style is, in a lot of ways, the best of several trends from the last few years.
This look takes the best of "rustic," a touch of industrial, and the sleek elegance of "modern." It's sophisticated, without feeling pretentious or unapproachable, and it's inviting enough that you feel like you can kick back and relax. That's why we rounded up our favorite pieces that epitomize this ethos to a T.

Details

Funky farmhouse style also incorporates old and new pieces. A modern round mirror juxtaposes against a rustic antique side table. If you're looking for a more sleek look for shiplap, instead of painting white, you can add bleached wood paneling.

Farmhouse Style

Funky farmhouse style also does not have to be rustic! Our showroom shows how to create an elegant and soft look while still featuring the main tenants of the style. White wood paneling, warm wood furniture and flooring, clean lined pieces are all staples, but adding soft fabrics, warm colors, and textures into the space creates a different take.

Mix and Match

We love mixing different eras into our living spaces. Our showroom features white walls, a rustic farm table and black industrial pendants which all check the funky farmhouse boxes, but they're made more relaxed with the addition of linen slipcovered side chairs, pieces in different scales, and a tonal rug over the polished concrete floors.
