Power of a Statement Chair

Just like Bonnie Taylor taught us, everyone needs a hero. And when it comes to decorating, so does every room. When designing a space, it's important to establish what you want that "hero" piece to be early on. Maybe it's some abstract artwork or a colorful rug, but whatever it is, it should be eye-catching! Using an accent chair as your main statement piece is the perfect way to add functional style into your home; and don't you just love walking into a room and instantly thinking, "Man, I want to sit in THAT chair!" A great chair can be a powerful jumping block into great design!

While finding a great chair is really of one of those "you'll know it when you see it" scenarios, there are a few things we believe can make a chair truly great:

1. Silhouette - A chair that has a unique shape will always catch your eye.

2. Frame - A chair is only as good as it's frame. An exposed or sculptural-like frame can be a major "wow" factor.

3. Novelty - It goes without saying that any chair that makes you take a double-look is making a statement. Sometimes it's fun to dive completely off the deep end and go for something even a little bizarre.

4. Color/Pattern - Sometimes the only thing your chair needs is some really awesome upholstery. Take a traditional silhouette and frame and dress it in a colorful print and you've got yourself a statement piece!

Alice Lane Pick: Tibetan Fur Bench

The world is on a craze for Tibetan Fur, and we're no exception here at Alice Lane. We love it for a few reasons: it's beautiful, it's incredibly soft, and it's animal friendly. Cool fact: Tibetan fur is simply made from the long wool hair that is shaved off of Tibetan or Mongolian sheep when it comes time for a haircut. We love the natural curl of the wool and how it adds an incredible organic feel to any room. We've rounded up some of our favorite Tibetan fur benches (that you can now buy online!). With splayed wood legs and a Tibetan wool seat, our Otto bench is versatile as well as comfortable. It fits great in a bedroom, living room, or entry. Also available in a cube size, it fits perfectly under a console (a great trick for storing extra seating!) and is an aesthetically pleasing height.

The Bette ottoman really steps things up with it's sleek acrylic base. Seriously...does wool get any more glamorous?! We love to use this bench tucked under a vanity, or next to a buffet for extra seating. So tell us, what is your favorite Tibetan fur bench?

Our BIGGEST Tent Sale Ever!

People! This is a big deal! For months and months we've been preparing for this most amazing show event. We've been purging our warehouse, pulling product, marking it down, then marking it down even more (because why not), and gathering it all together under the Big Top! That's right...it's time for another Tent Sale! This time, we're offering our lowest and best discounts right out of the gate on Alice Lane Home Collection and Wonderland by Alice Lane products. Some are still even in their boxes! So when we say it's our biggest Tent Sale yet, we really mean it. Mark your calendars and join us at our Orem location (look for the big white tent on the corner of State Street and University Parkway!) this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. First come, first serve. No holds. You're gonna want to be first!

Alice Lane Pick: Summer Entertaining

When it comes to summer entertaining , two words says it all...Fresh and Easy!

We love this blue and white serving ware. It's fresh, clean and takes us right to the beach! Throw in some gauzy bright linens, organic, easy salad hands and toss up a great summer meal with our Fresh and Easy cookbook. Done and done!

Shop in-store at Alice Lane Home Collection:  Serving ware - $37-46 | Tea towels - $29 | Salad Hands - $32 | Fresh and Easy Cookbook - $45

Alice Lane Pick: Studded Stacking Bowl

If you've looked through our portfolio or regularly browse our Instagram feed then you've probably noticed that we have some definite "go-to" accessories that we use in just about every project. These Studded Stacking Bowls are one of them! Their beaded gold leaf edge dresses them up, while their imperfect shape keeps them casual. A trait that makes them work in just about every space!

We recently used them in Emily Jackson's kitchen paired with our Eternity Salad Servers...a killer combination! We even use them outside of the kitchen too...styled on a console table or in a bookshelf. The possibilities are endless!

Our Favorite Spring Foliage

Perhaps the thing we love most about spring are the recklessly blooming trees outside! The way they renew life and evoke happiness is a trait we find rather endearing. In fact, so much so that we're entirely guilty of sneakily clipping branches from nearby trees and taking them home with us to display! Fresh blooms and branches are the perfect way to breath new life into your home and freshen up your space for spring. And although fresh foliage will always be our favorite, we've managed to find some pretty awesome faux spring foliage that can fool just about everyone.

1. Fiddle Leaf Branches - We LOVE a good fiddle fig, and these beauties add all the modern greenery your heart can handle without the hassle of having to keep the them alive! No really, have you ever tried to keep a real fiddle fig alive? Not easy. At just $23 per branch, you'll save yourself from a black thumb fiasco.

2. White Cherry Blossom Branches - By far our most popular branches that pair perfectly with just about any ginger jar. This is one spring time classic that we'll never grow tired of. Pick up your own bundle at just $13 per branch. Also available in pink!

3. Orchid Branch - The loose and whimsical nature of the orchid adds that perfect layer of femininity to any room grouping. And although a full bundle of these branches is stunning, we love the pure simplicity and beauty of a single stem. Not bad for just $16.50 each.

Fiddle Leaf Branch - $26 | White Cherry Blossom Branch - $13 | Orchid Stem - $16.50 available for purchase at Alice Lane Home Collection & Wonderland by Alice Lane

Alice Lane Pick: Tree Ring Art

I'm currently a sucker for all things watercolor, including this series of Tree Ring artwork we currently have in our Salt Lake store. There's something about these pieces that makes them look nearly three dimensional. Like you could reach right into the painting and feel the depth of that cut wood! The great thing about this series is that you can mix and match them however you like. You can hang a pair (like we did up above), or use all four variations to make a complete gallery wall. Plus, they're perfectly neutral, so they work in almost any space! 

XOXO, TOM

Alice Lane Pick: Hobnail Dishes

When it comes to serving ware, you can't go wrong with classic white pieces. We love our Hobnail dish collection because it gives the right amount of edge and personality to an otherwise simple silhouette. The textured porcelain bowls have that farmhouse charm with high-end finish. Pair them with the matching hobnail butter dish and these white porcelain compotes and you've got a killer combination for your next dinner party.

Check them out now at Alice Lane Home Collection in Salt lake City, in-stock now!

XOXO, Andrea W.
