I love the concept of taking care of your space and time – you will never have to look for some of your things – because they are packed in your sofa or stool. Looks amazing, don’t you think so?

BTW, such furniture looks hot and clean when properly taken care of. To my mind, mirrored furniture is all things glamour and shine, it somehow tunes everybody around onto calmness.

There are a lot of mirrored furniture manufacturers but none of them creates furniture the way Horchow does. They have a great selection of items, all of them are of high quality and look extremely stylish.

• Lost & Found Upcycled Furniture

I have never seen more appealing furniture items. This collection of stools and tables designed by UK-based design studio is completely handmade. Buying this furniture you not only bring a peace of nature in your house, you save forests as well. Eco-friendliness forever!

• Snodevormgevers design

Snodevormgevers is a modern Dutch design studio that provides people with unique furniture from stools to fireplaces. Each piece of furniture is created from plates of steel, so these items are reliable and will live long lives.

• Recycled boat wood bench

The following bench is made with Reclaimed/Recycled Wood from Old Fisherman’s Boats. It’s not toxic and incredible. Love the way it is painted. It looks fantastic!!!

To find more about furniture, you have to be aware of what is called the Victorian era. It is an epoch named for England’s Queen Victoria, and it lasted from the 1830s to the turn of the 20th century. Of course, architecture and furniture styles were changing but main guidelines were the same.

3 ways to identify Victorian style:

1) Opulence rules in such interiors. Heavy usage of patterns with floral designs.

2) The furniture is very rich in various carvings, textiles, trims, and embellishments. Wallpapers are mostly with florals and other excessive decorations.

3) Almost all furniture pieces have carved wood (as a rule of very dark-colours: mahogany and oak were especially popular) as a kind of decoration. And main fabrics of furniture are: velvets, damasks and needlepoints.

Frankly speaking, not all people love modern and hi-tech style, that’s why it is really difficult to find a great piece of Victorian style furniture in ordinary antique shop. So you have to be aware of place where to look for. Some of them are: specialized estate auctions, eBay Victoriana, fellow collectors. Also, you can try to find some pieces via Internet, although it can be a little bit expensive.

Before buying really expensive furniture in Victorian style, it is better to read some special books in order to be ready to find out whether it is genuine. Some people try to sell items as antiques and in order them to look like ancient and old ones they use crackle or color washes on furniture.

As a conclusion I would like to tell you, that collecting antique Victorian furniture is not only an expensive and nice hobby but a very profitable investment as well.
