Today is a very good day if you are looking to buy some new furniture and decor that will last you many, many years and still look timeless! That’s right, AllModern (a beloved EHD brand) is having its biggest sale of the year. We’re talking up to 70% off thousands of items. It starts today and ends on Monday, meaning…it’s go time, people! But no need to stress because guess what?? I’ve combed through all of their on-sale items and chose beautiful pieces that we consider “new modern classics.” That’s right, built-to-last pieces both in high quality and timeless design. You simply can’t make a wrong purchase:) Let’s get your home finally furnished.
P.S. The images are clickable!!
This type of wide strap, woven leather seat is absolutely in the new modern classic category. This style originates in places like Spain and Scandinavia (according to my research), from over 100 years ago. So while the technique isn’t “new,” it’s incredibly beautiful, versatile, and fresh. Depending on the tones you choose, these would be perfect in a neutral organic home, a modern MCM-style home, or a nice moment of modern texture in a more traditional home. That stool could work effortlessly in my home or Emily’s. Did you notice that the leather on the stool is a dark olive green?? So chic!!
Curved back dining chairs are something we’ve spoken about a lot on this blog because they are extremely pretty and usually the most comfortable style. An upholstered seat is pretty important too, which all three of these wonderful chairs have. While the first chair doesn’t have an upholstered back like the other two, the wishbone style is a classic in and of itself! Plus, the rich-toned leather seat with the light wood frame is so beautiful. It comes in a couple of other colorways, too, that are just as easy on the eyes.
There’s something so cool about (the right) chunky accent chair. It’s inviting, it adds architecture to the space, and of course, it’s a nice place to sit. Form and function in one:) All three of these are a little different but have the mid-century modern bent with the right amount of heft. The cream one has those awesome angular arms and just the right amount of open space on the backrest. The velvet chocolate colored one has that very cool but cozy, almost tubular, round shape, but is even more elevated by the exposed dark wood legs. The gray chair also has that “hey, sit here!” aura, but still has that MCM architectural look. Plus, that one swivels!
Marble tables have been on the rise for the past few years now in a big, big way, and we don’t see them going anywhere. I mean, why would they?? It’s a natural material that adds so much visual texture and movement. It also looks expensive (even if you got it for a great deal;)) which doesn’t hurt either. With these three, I love that the shapes are more modern to contrast the traditional feeling that marble gives off. They also work with any style. Great pieces to invest in.
Like marble, natural materials like “raw” wood, when done in a beautiful way, will always be classic. Case in point, these three coffee tables! The shapes are on the modern side, but because you can see the natural grain and the sealant is pretty matte, there’s a timelessness about them. They look almost like natural pieces of modern art. They’d look so grounding yet visually bold in a room.
While I feel that this era of design will be synonymous with different variations of fluted/slated accents, I also know that when done right, it’s a style that has lasting power. Look at these two sideboards, for example. The darker-toned one is a little more unique in its shape, but it has that “modern art” bold aesthetic that makes it feel so special and not something you would ever want to part with. The lighter-toned sideboard is far more simple and classic in shape, but then interesting and textured with the slat details. Two winners.
Keeping with this front-panel style, but with a different function, are these two dressers. The tones are neutral and classic, the hardware is understated, but the texture completely brings them to life. Would immediately add so much movement to a bedroom.
The broken stripe and now, the modern plaid are two rug patterns that we know are here to stay. I love that brown one so much. It’s so versatile. It would look perfect in a minimalist neutral space as well as an eclectic maximalist one that could use a little color grounding, but with a pattern that isn’t boring. The slightly muted tones of the blue and green one are so pretty, and the overall pattern really evokes an heirloom feeling. Finally, the last one is to me the boldest visually with the contrasting colors, but it is also so simple and beautiful. It would bring so much vibrancy to a room!
Onto saturated, solid colored rugs. This is another “new modern classic” we more recently added to the roster, and to me, for good reason. They are so gorgeous and really ground a room while still adding a lot of personality. I love love the micro fringe on the green one, and Mal used the clay colored one in her last apartment living room reveal, and it’s so pretty in person!
If you like the idea of a solid color but want some kind of pattern or texture, these two are perfect for you. The patterns are extremely simple and classic, but do give you a little somethin somethin visually. The blue one also comes in rust and beige!
A forever classic indeed. Spindle beds have and always will be classic, but we love a modern version too! I would actually categorize all of these as “modern” because of their lovely, clean lines. Both of these are truly so beautiful, so it’s really just a matter of which style would work better with your overall design:)
Then, on the opposite side of bed design are these amazing chunky, velvet, curved beds. They are grand, but since the headboards have a lower profile than your standard “big bed,” they don’t overwhelm your eye. That’s the modern aspect to them and why I also deeply feel they belong in this category. Not too ornate or fussy, just bold, simple, and cozy.
We aren’t quite done with this detail! Like our sideboards and dressers, bathroom vanities fall in a similar category – important storage. I love the simplicity of the first one – the single drawer knob (with awesome internal storage) and that dark countertop. But if you prefer a white countertop or other base colors, you’ve got lots of options. The second one is actually the same vanity my cousin bought for her primary suite in their midcentury modern home. They are super happy with the quality and think the amount of storage is awesome. It also comes in a bunch of other sizes!
A natural material is classic, whether it’s a table or a tray. These three bowls/trays are in the new modern classics category because of their shapes. The ruffled marble/stone bowl trend exploded over the last couple of years. The footed bowl is beloved not only for its function but for the height it gives to any vignette it’s a part of. Finally, the simple circle marble tray couldn’t be more versatile. Any home could (and maybe should) have one;)
These next two categories are ones we aren’t officially ready to induct into the new modern classics hall of fame, but are very much on our radar (and we’re excited about them).
Wow, I LOVE this cabinet. Why do I think it has “new modern classic” potential? First off, the natural wood of it all is a big reason. Natural materials often give “longevity”. Secondly, the geometric carving style is unreal. This one, in particular, with the sizing of the shapes not being uniform, gives it so much movement. To me, this is a piece of art. Ok, onto the next one…
I may be a little biased on this one because I own a very similar vase, but graphic hand-painted vases are here to stay. They add texture, function, and a sculpture to your room. I love the tones of this one so much, and it’s so versatile. 10/10!
That’s it for today! So while these were our sale picks, AllModern has so many more awesome, high-quality finds and great deals, so I highly recommend you take a peek if you are looking for some new pieces. There’s really something for everyone. Happy designing:)
