Makeover Magic Using Lucite Furniture

Written by faith

At least 20 some years ago I witnessed the dramatic impact of adding a piece of Lucite furniture to a room. At that time, I was a recent transplant to Omaha and made the acquaintance of another designer who invited me to her home. Carefully and dramatically, she chose to showcase a collection of heirloom quilts in a clear Lucite trunk.

The use of the trunk was magical in her living room. Since that experience I have seen clear acrylic furniture used in many applications. I used this ‘crystal table’ from the Mariette Himes Gomez collection by Hickory Chair in the Seattle Street of Dreams home I designed.

For a practical but dramatic accent, consider the Magino stool which does double duty as a magazine rack from Umbra.

The good news is that very often these acrylic furniture pieces will not break the bank!
