In its February 2018 issue, Ideal Homes & Gardens explored how furniture can transcend its obvious function—serving as seating, art, drama, and anchor. Under Design / Shopping, the spotlight fell on the Betty Sofa, a piece that elegantly reinterprets mid-century charm. Built with slender tapered legs and subtle button tufting, Betty evokes a lineage of refined restraint while offering a silhouette both poised and gracious.

In the Shopping Spree features, the magazine extended its gaze to pieces that double roles, provoke presence, and command attention: Nadia Chaise took center stage under “Not Just Beds.” Designed to shift seamlessly from seat to bed, Nadia offers daytime repose and nighttime repose alike. Its spooled legs, finished in dark mahogany, add sculptural character to its serene form.

Carlo Mirror appeared in “Wall Alert”—a call to refresh interiors through bold vertical statements. As a “larger-than-life” mirror, Carlo reframes walls, reflects light, and redefines the mood in a room.

Featured under ‘Think Iconic,’ the Dunbar Armchair oozes individuality. Its bold proportions and distinctive silhouette bring a note of theatre to interiors, the kind of piece that lingers in memory long after first encounter.

Together, these selections reinforced Ideal Homes & Gardens’ editorial ethos: that compelling interiors come from pieces that do more than fill space—they provoke, morph, resonate, and linger.
