poster bed highland house
Taking its inspiration from traditional Scandinavian designs, this four-poster bed retains a sense of history without being bound by it. The open fretwork of interlocking circles on its headboard and footboard lends it a light, airy feeling, while the rich, ebonized-brown finish, called Midnight Sun, sets it apart from the blond furniture common in northern Europe. Clean and simple, yet romantic, this bed is the best of all possible worlds.
haven daybed/sofa Thomasville
Daybeds date from ancient times, when relaxing didn't happen without reclining. The makers of this convertible sofa have updated the tradition by adding a removable caned back, which is useful when you're required to sit up straight. The daybed, from the Felicity collection, comes in a Nightfall Black or Sunlit Cherry finish with an array of pillows upholstered in your choice of fabrics—channel your inner Cleopatra to select them.
wave bed from the omni collection century furniture
To create the undulating surfaces on this bed's headboard and footboard, wood workers start with thick maple planks, then carve away sections using an innovative planing technique. The surfaces are then covered with veneers made of Avoidoire, a sustainably harvested exotic hardwood. The alternating dips and swells of the finished product create a sense of motion that evokes the rhythm of the sea.

All furniture should look this good while working this hard. Not only does Thomas O'Brien's tuxedo-style sofa have a flip-down wooden ledge in back, which takes the place of a low console, but it also features a two-shelf, 8-inch-deep bookcase inset on each side. The plush, down-cushioned couch, shown here in Modern Oak with taupe chenille stripe fabric, comes in any of the finishes and upholstery options Hickory Chair offers.
