“The Stanley European Cottage bedroom offers an Old World look and style with modern comfort and functionality. It is the perfect addition for any master suite or secondary bedroom, and that’s why I love it!” —David Hambuchen, H3 Home+Decor, Conway

1/ “You don’t have to sacrifice style with this Lee Industries trundle bed. Perfect for an office or kids’ playroom, the daybed converts to a super-comfy, queen-sized bed. One of our favorites!” —John Gillum, Cobblestone & Vine, Little Rock

2/ “Occasionally, extra lighting is all it takes to light up a room. Our Kate Spade New York Pavillion Dot lamp is up for the task. This lamp brings a punchy bit of personality along the way with its clear globe with gold accents and black linen shade.” —Janet Hixson, Christopher Allen Decor, Fayetteville

3/ “A Howse favorite, our Arie chair is customizable down to the zipper! This modern re-interpretation of a classic wingback is as comfortable as it is stylish!” —Leslie Gardner, Howse, Fayetteville & Little Rock

4/ “I was drawn to the Walter-K Yuuto sofa because of its built-in leather end caps combined with its functionality. It’s perfect for entertaining a big crowd and its modular design works well in virtually any living room or den. It’s completely modern, but can also work in a more traditional home – and it’s unbelievably comfortable!” —Valerie Erkman, Core ID, Little Rock

5/ “Add elegance to your normal work space with this charming French writing desk by Hooker.  The soft gray color is accented beautifully with gold. A matching lateral file is also available.  Experience Sowell’s wonderful, eclectic blend of home furnishings and accessories and our complimentary design service – all in Downtown Searcy.” — Nancy Hatfield, Sowell’s Furniture, Searcy

6/ “This creamy white, velvet fabricated chair is perfect for almost all styles! Add a fabulous designer accent pillow to complete the look.” —Morgan Kleine, Kaufman by Design, Little Rock

7/ “I am in love with this chic ottoman by Lee Industries! Covered in Natural Hide with a bronze base, it offers a casual look with a twist. Its functionality and cool movement make it the perfect addition to update many spaces and can be ordered in any fabric or leather.” —Leigh Montgomery, Blu D’or interiors, Jonesboro

8/ “We found these rust leather club chairs on a buying trip on the East coast, and fell in love with the rich color.  These deco chairs are still appropriate today for classic rooms, which is a signature style for Phoenix Interiors.  We love to combine antiques and vintage pieces, alongside new furniture to create a timeless and curated look.” —Linda Tedder, Phoenix interiors, Little Rock

9/ “I love this Funstripes Double Bench.  It’s durable and pretty enough to use indoors or out.” —Alisa Johnson, Embellish Interiors, Little Rock

10/ “I love this bed from Reborn Relics Home. The  carving on the bed turns a simple style into a beautiful design.” —Debi Davis,
Reborn Relics Home, Little Rock

11/ “Right now we are obsessing over bleached oak chests and sideboards. There is no substitute for mixing old with new if you want a truly unique home that reflects both your style and a sense of history. Vintage or antique bleached wood furniture is a wonderful, authentic substitute for painted furniture and will mix well with some of your other dark wood or painted pieces.” —Mona Thompson, Providence Design, Little Rock
