The 5 Furniture Items Every Woman Should Have in Her Home

Whether it’s your first house or you’ve been there 50 years, your home is your castle, and your goal should be to fill it with furniture fit for a queen. The experts always recommend that you buy one quality item at a time, to last a long time, instead of a roomful at a supermarket. We talked to a few experts around town to figure out which items every woman should have in her home, and here are their suggestions.

Selection of chic custom furniture from our Fabrics choices.

1) Even before the grown up sofa, a set of comfy accent chairs like these Cline chairs. You want chairs that are both functional and eye-catching — think of a Birkin bag for your living room — and these two are neutral enough in color and size to fit in almost any space.

For another twist, try a pair of reclined chairs for a sophisticated take on a seat for the “man of the house.” Interior designer at mombasa furniture and Interiors says these tufted leather Wesley Hall pieces look sleek, savvy and sophisticated but are oh-so-comfortable. No man in your life right now? No worries we make the perfect reading or movie-watching spot for girls night in because their unique shape perfectly cradles your body (who needs a man anyway?). we build a custom made space for our beautiful queens.

If you don’t have room for two chairs, pick just one and make it a stunner like the unique wing-back chair would go perfectly in a corner next to a side table and reading lamp — the perfect spot for long phone chats, a good book or just a quiet moment alone.

A sofa to last 30 years like this https://mombasafurniture.com/products/bianca-sofa Since it’ll be the largest item in your living room, keep your sofa to a neutral tone like tan or taupe and then have fun with throw pillows you can change with the season.

If you have the extra space or want a different look, a classic love seat can add charm to your living area or bedroom, and its smaller size means you can get a bit more adventurous with fabrics without overwhelming the room.

A statement-making ottoman like this https://mombasafurniture.com/products/bria-ottoman from mombasa furniture. Christina says versatility is the key: an ottoman can serve as a foot rest, extra seating or even a table (put a tray on top) for entertaining.

A beautiful desk like this lacquered silver and shagreen version from mombasa furniture will make your personal workspace elegant. Again, the idea is to buy high quality pieces that can serve several functions over time.
