Add Some Contemporary Style to Your Living Room With Art Deco Coffee Tables
Some consider the 1920's as the birthplace of art deco furniture, it had a resounding effect on pretty much everything in that time touching decorative arts, architecture, fashion, interior design even graphics and film. In my personal opinion, I feel that the art deco qualities and attributes of this age are slowly starting to emerge in our current time. Although it may be termed in a multitude of different ways, you can see the unmistakable influences especially in modern furniture design, and most notably in art deco coffee tables.
There are unmistakable qualities that only art deco coffee tables have, some of which we will explore a little later in this article. First however, I would like to discuss the fantastic designs as ell as materials that are used to make art deco coffee tables. There are a multitude of materials that typify this opulent style, the more commonly used are Stainless Steel - various types of lacquered wood.
- Aluminum, designers sometimes touch on the more exotic side and a Zebra skin or even Sharkskin finish will not be considered out of the ordinary.
When we discuss the typical design attributes of the art deco coffee table there is not really too much that can be considered out of the ordinary, the rule of thumb is "Anything Goes" in art. Think of an ultra contemporary art work that most of us would consider a pile of rubbish, but getting the artists description of the mood and feeling he was trying to transfer in his artwork you will no doubt take a different approach to it. When considering art deco on the one hand - think of opulence and lavishness with as much color and texture as possible - and on the other hand think of the New York train station with it's distinct style and design.
The distinctive qualities of an arty coffee table can be described in the following example, now note common ground n=between the two almost separate styles:
- Solid Oak, lower than normal, rectangle, rigid - thick almost "Stumpy" legs - 2 inch thick top - with a cream tile inlay that has been finished off with a clear lacquer for added durability and maximum shine.
- Picture a kidney shaped coffee, with flowing rounded edges, solid maple wood - two carved legs on the one side and one leg connected with the first two on the other side. A carved out inlay in the middle of the table that follows the shape and in the inlay is an etched wooden artwork of a country landscape (trees, clouds, flowing hills) - finished off with a dark lacquer.
Both considered art deco but very different in their design and characteristics, each to be used in very different living room settings.
Be confident that if your style is a bit out there that you will no doubt find an art deco coffee table that will compliment your uniqueness.

Do You Rock-A-Bye Baby in Nursery Rockers Or Nursery Gliders?
Mothers have been purchasing nursery rockers for many generations. They offer the perfect motion to calm a screaming baby or put a tired baby right to sleep. While nursery rockers remain a staple for many new parents and grandparents, others are opting for more modern nursery gliders instead.
Nursery Rockers
Rocking chairs are no longer used just for rocking a newborn to sleep or calming down a cranky toddler. Some parents will rock their children until they are seven years old or sometimes older. As long as the parent and child can both fit comfortably in the chair, it will remain a great way to spend time together and bond. Many families even have more than one rocking chair in their home.
Solid wood rockers can be found in a wide variety of styles as well as colors. Some are stained different colors and show the natural wood grain while others are painted. Some rocking chairs are even suitable for adding paint and other embellishments in order to create a truly original look in the nursery. As long as all materials are completely safe and nontoxic, creativity is encouraged!
There are a few things that should be kept in mind when selecting a rocker for the nursery:
If you want to use your rocker for more than a few minutes at a time, you will need to add a soft cushion. Some rocking chairs will feel differently than others so it's a good idea to test it out before purchasing. Rockers for the nursery must be extremely quiet so test it out and make sure it does not squeal, hiss, or click on the floor. Some nursery rockers are more durable than others, but you can often judge this by seeing the condition of rockers that have been used as display models in stores for awhile.
Nursery Gliders
So, what exactly is a glider and how is it different from a rocking chair? Here are some things that will make it easier to understand:
When you rock in a rocking chair you are moving forward then down a bit and back. A glider just moves in a straight diagonal so you don't have that arched dip down toward the floor as you go forward or backward. Nursery gliders will have a lot of cushioning and fabric built on which makes it more like sturdy furniture. You can find many gliders that come with a matching footstool that also glides, but most rocking chairs are stand alone items. You can decorate and repaint most rocking chairs to customize them, but you can't do that with gliders.
You definitely need a rocker or glider in your home. To determine which one you need, try them out and see which motion feels more comfortable for you.
Get out and try a variety of gliders and rockers in stores. Just remember that gliders are solid furniture which can be added into other rooms of the home when your children are older.
Safety is important no matter which you choose. Make sure crawling babies don't get under the legs of a rocker, and gliders should have no exposed moving parts where fingers can be pinched.

Why Animal Print Has Never Gone Out of Fashion
Animal print has never and, arguably, will never go out of fashion simply because it reminds us of a time when, as hunter-gatherers, we would envelop and adorn ourselves in the warmth and wonder of genuine exotic skins.
Fashion has embraced this deep-seated connection with animal style prints and clothes and accessories remain crafted from these beautiful skins into such art pieces as ostrich handbags, crocodile belts and snakeskin purses to this day.
As a status symbol
Animal print has also long been regarded as a status symbol and, in traditional societies, as one ascended in social standing, more and more expensive exotic pelts and furs were added to their haute couture.
Even today, an African man with royal blood will have leopard skin somewhere on his person, be it a trendy hat or the more traditional loincloth.
Perhaps because of its strong link to Zulu kings, leopard print in particular is back in the limelight with everyone from Katie Holmes to Catherine Deneuve cladding themselves from head to toe in faux leopard.
Internationally acclaimed designers like Betsey Johnson, Roberto Cavalli and Prada have been the biggest supporters of animal print and have consistently included it in their collections over the years.
Pattern synergy
It is also the remarkable synergy of the patterns on genuine zebra skins, for instance, that make it enduringly popular and glamorous. And these pelts aren't only used in their traditional appearance.
More and more trendy stores are catering for the alternative in society, offering animal print clothes and accessories that have been dyed bright pinks, greens, blues and oranges, adding versatility to an already exciting combination of patterns and colours.
Even couches, ottomans and other furniture look particularly impressive in exotic skin print and, if history is anything to go by, animal print will join the irrepressible in our society and never, ever go out of fashion.
