Who knew the man cave could make such a refined, sophisticated statement!  Classic prints such as pinstripes, plaids, and houndstooth are prominently upholstered on seating and showcased  in accessories to illuminate a sexy yet cozy vibe. The monochromatic textures of leathers, wool, and reclaimed woods grounds any design scheme. Whether it is a classic English cigar house or a modernized Downtown loft, both sexes flock to these design elements, because it allows for a hint of glam while retaining it's timelessness. Come into HD Buttercup and check out Style De Vie's custom navy pinstripe chair- totally inspired by classic men's suits!

Design Tip

The Three “F’s”– Function, Focal Point and Flow Considerations

Function – What kind of room is it? Arranging furniture in a dining room is much different than in a living room, bedroom or office. Does the room need to accommodate a lot of people or just a few?

Focal Point – What do you want to emphasize? If you have a big bay window that looks out over a scenic vista, perhaps you want to highlight the view. Maybe your pride and joy is a majestic decorative fireplace. Orient your furniture to direct attention to the focal point. If viewing a widescreen HD television is important to you, the optimal distance between the TV set and any seating is roughly three times the size of the screen.

Flow – Can people move easily from place to place? Notice at how people enter and exit the room, and how doors open and close. Cluttered pathways can make you feel like you’re in a pinball machine, so avoid placing large pieces of furniture in the natural lane of traffic if at all possible. Allow at least 3 feet of open space for your primary traffic routes
