BUILT-IN DINING

Breakfast nooks built right into kitchens have been around since the ’20s, but they really hit their stride in the late ’40s and ’50s, when uncomfortable pews made way for cozy banquette-style booths.

COLORFUL KITCHEN APPLIANCES 

Why buy a plain old white refrigerator when you could have one in a pastel shade? That seemed to be the thinking in the ’50s, and we can’t help but long for this lovely, cheery look today.

PLUSH SOFAS 

Bye, modern minimalist sofas! We’d like to welcome back a much cozier trend: tufted vintage velvet couches that are actually comfortable.

CONVERSATION PIT 

OK, so the ’60s and ’70s trend of sunken rooms with built-in seating might be a bit difficult to pull off in your home, but you can create the same kind of atmosphere by arranging the furniture to focus on conversations with each other rather than the TV.

BRASS FURNITURE

Antique brass furniture, like beds, bring a luxe quality to homes that we’d love to see again.

WARDROBES

Another piece of furniture that merged function with beauty? Antique wardrobes, or armoires, which offer extra space to compensate for teeny tiny closets.

HEAVY DESKS 

The digital age diminished demand for gorgeous wooden writing desks (whether pedestal, secretary, or rolltop), but we think it’s about time to bring back the stately furniture—and letter-writing, for that matter.

EMPIRE CHEST

Don’t you miss the early 1900s where function and form were both found in a piece? You could display it in your home and use them for a daily grind activities. Take this American Empire-style, or Federal chest, which could be used as a dresser in the bedroom or entry.
