Sofas and Couches

Even seating can be sexy. Whether you need to fill a room for parties or want just enough for family, choosing a gorgeous centerpiece sofa is always a great decision.

Who says only curves are sexy? These strong lines are so eye catching they would certainly anchor a seating arrangement. Also, grey is one of the best neutrals around. Softer than black and more interesting than white. (It comes in other colors, but ...

Geo Sofa

Such seductive lines! The curving back alone is enough to attract the most discerning eye. If you have other furniture you want to let shine, this sofa will play a worthy supporting role.

Deans Sofa

Who says sectionals can't be sexy? Rather than the humdrum squares at the local furniture retailer, consider this gorgeous two - piece modular set. This curved sectional provides plenty of seating while maintaining a stylish arc that softens any mode...

Fremont 2 - Piece Sectional

Gray area? Not here! This small sectional with its chestnut brown upholstery lends an air of warmth and cozy style to any modern room. Mix with woods for a bonus organic vibe. Enjoy sitting on the chair side or relaxing on the chaise portion. Have it...

Anson 2 - Piece Sectional

Lots of seating space for a two-piece sectional! Less sections means easier to move around plus less cracks for things to fall into during movie night. This lovely sofa comes in right or left hand versions so the chaise can be on whichever side you p...

Athens 2 - Piece Sectional

So unique! This sectional matches boxy ends that look super modern with a visually stunning arched back. The earthy leather is gorgeous with its tonal shifts. It comes in a slightly darker Caramel Brown, but I suggest the lighter Sienna.

Rex 5 - Piece Sectional

Be still my heart! I'm in love with the shape of this sofa! Both the black and gray options are gorgeous and there's a pale pink that is oddly compelling as well. If I had a mansion I'd own at least one of each. You try picking just one! This may jus...

Evangeline Velvet Sofa

Wonderful camel color and warm touchable velvet. This is not a match made in Las Vegas. This is timeless modern style that will always make you and your house look good. Clean lines, intriguing angles, and plush deep seating... This is truly sexy st...

Endellion Sofa

Slow down! Curve ahead! This soft silhouette makes the rounds with its gentle curves. Bonus! There's a matching Neilson chair! Grab two for an intimate seating arrangement or just the sofa to mix with woods and stone for a modern organic vibe.

Neilson Sofa

Love Seats, Settees and Benches

For smaller spots or for more intimate seating these are great to add beside more expansive seating or to nestle in a nook by themselves.

Benches don't come much simpler, but this is a classic modern style. Colors might vary though so look closely. The tan color doesn't seem to be listed, though two others do. Still, this bench would serve nicely in a room with more showy pieces, allow...

Amagon Bench

Super clean lines, simple yet elegant. This loveseat is understated yet attractive in this soft gray color. (Though it comes in other colors.)

Kearney Loveseat

Nice looking simple bench with the bonus of storage inside. Watch for the colors: they list sand and chocolate, however the chocolate looks ñmuch darker in the sample. I'm not sure what that lovely tan color is in the photos or if it's no longer avai...

Mizel Storage Bench

An attractive bench that need not be confined to the living room. It would make a nice foyer bench for putting on or taking off shoes. It would also be lovely in a large bedroom by a window, or tucked in a nook. Regardless, its attractive and so not ...

Cedernier Boucle Bench

This stacked look bench has a cool vibe that would fit in nicely in a modern or mid-century modern home. Imagine it in a living room, den, foyer, bedroom or even a walk-in closet. Whether you need to stow throws for the summer or need a cache for str...

Delray Storage Bench

Mid-century modern fans unite! This two-drawer storage bench delights with its clean boxy lines and lovely angled legs. Out of the four colors, the chestnut is lovely and the black is sleek; the white is okay and the walnut is less impressive as a wo...

Williams Storage Bench

While the sole color isn't ideal, if you're into pale, this does it. I just really think the curves make it worth considering, especially at the ends. Since there are other pieces in this same style (see the Granduca ottoman) there's the choice to ma...

Granduca Bench

An insanely simple bench, but that's the allure. Its boxy shape exudes minimalism plus won't draw attention away from whatever showstopper piece you've built your decor around. Only two colors, but this one's a lovely creamy ivory that really won't g...

Golightly Bench

Two big pluses: neutral colors and storage! Not only would this be a bonus for your living room - extra seating, storage, and style - it would be great elsewhere in the house. Imagine it in your foyer, at your vanity, or even in your walk-in closet. ...

Kalevi Storage Bench

Accent Chairs

Adorable! This little darling would look great in a mid-century modern with its tiny nod to retro. Low but not too low, don't blame me if your dog or cat or kid claims it for their own!

Arc Swivel Chair

Yes, you want sleek attractive modern furnishings, but sometimes you just want to sink into a comfy chair. This is just that kind of chair. This faux sherpa slipcovered chair just beckons you to fall into its arms and relax. Sometimes fuzzy furry sof...

Drewry Armchair

Sculpture or seating? Why not both? This sinuous shape is like a work of art for your room. This sexy leather chair would fit in with any modern or mid-century modern decor. Its lovely leather color would wonderfully echo any woods nearby, making the...

Costa Chair

Ooh! Now this is a chair with great lines. If it was human, it would be a supermodel. The natural look and feel of tonal leather paired with a gorgeous soft zigzag shape is a marriage made in modern heaven.

Tilman Leather Chair

Yes, it comes in other colors - like black - but buy the plum color! Sometimes seating is about shape; sometimes it's about color. This rare beauty handles both with aplomb. (Pun intended.) As someone who loves black and gray (no secret to anyone vie...

Nolita Chair

Not the most beautiful piece, granted, however it seems like it would be good at a vanity or in a stylish teen's room. (It comes in several colors; I like the dark brown.) It has to be said that the fun and comfort of a 360 degree swivel chair should...

Boucle Swivel Chair

Not the most exciting design, but check out that fluffy faux fur upholstery! Sink into softness without sacrificing style. Opt for this soft beige if you're into woods and earth tones or the granite colored if you are more of a black leather sofa typ...

Faux Fur Barrel Chair

Tantalized by the Neilson sofa, but want more? Add this Neilson accent chair. Sink into its green velvet or just enjoy it with a textural throw draped artfully across its rounded edges. Who says modern furnishing have to be made out of black leather ...

Neilson Swivel Chair

Delightfully minimalist, this chair has sleek lines, nice angles and a very attractive fabric. The variegated yarns make the upholstery much more interesting looking than just a flat shade of gray. The slightly nubby look give this chair a textural a...

Marcel Chair

Chaise Lounges

Double duty, this works as a chaise, but can also be a standalone sofa or part of a sectional if you want more space. Really lovely minimalist design.

Roma Chaise

What a stunning visual! This double-sided chaise lounge will make guests do a double-take! If you want a piece that stands out in a room, this should do it. It reminds me of the old courting chairs but freed so there's nothing between the two lovebir...

Kal Chaise

Choices, choices! Do you prefer the paler cool cotton version of this lovely chaise or the velvety smooth olive green? Either way the simple yet attractive shaping makes either choice a win.

Miranda Chaise

Is it hot in here or is it this sexy leather chaise? /fans self/ Seriously, this wood and black leather beauty is amazing. Just look at the side view and tell me the lines aren't pristine? Imagine reclining on this like a movie star, knowing it makes... Lust after it, or just buy yourself one. It's a present that looks good on you.

Eita Leather Chaise

Simple yet nicely shaped. Eye-catching yet not a showstopper so it won't conflict with your living room showpiece. Pale so not for kids with chocolate hands. That said, a sharp looking modern chaise.

Leonidas Chaise

This is a duplicate in a way. I fell in love with the Rex sectional so I had to feature the Rex chaise as a separate item. Yes, I realize it can be bought as part of the sectional, but it looks so good on its own, it's worth considering adding it any...

Rex Chaise

Ottomans, Poufs and Stools

Whether you use these for extra seating, footstools, side tables (great with a cool tray on top!), or just one of the best looking pet beds, these bonus furnishings can make a room much more livable and flexible.

Floofy! This fluffy pouf is a winner thanks to its faux fur feel and great good looks. Too many times modern is interpreted as sleek and smooth, but texture is key and this pouf has tons of great texture. Best in grey, good in cream, might get too dirty in white.

Snug Haven Pouf

Gorgeous solid wood that looks amazing and is multi-functional. It can be used for seating, a side table, a footstool, or even a pet den with the addition of a cushion inside. Modern furniture can often be too cold, with steel and leather making it t... Adding an organic touch warms up the decor without compromising the modern vibe.

Alpine Wood Stool

Quirky triangular shape with softened corners makes for a visual treat. The warm Camel color is great for rooms with a nature oriented vibe. (It does come in other colors.) Fabrics vary, so click through to check out the amazing texture on the Cream ...

Adna Triangular Ottoman

Very simple design, yet still modern. If you're one who buys an ottoman more for extra seating (or a home for most of your Sunday newspaper as you do the crossword) than a footstool, this is a good choice. It's almost a meter across (technically clos...

Billie Ottoman

True story: Years ago I bought an almost identical ottoman for my living room, thinking it would be nice for additional seating. It was, only for my dog. She almost instantly claimed it as her own and it became the best looking dog bed I'd ever owned...

Emily Pouf

Almost the epitome of minimalism. Its pill shape (now that I've mentioned that you won't be able to unsee it, will you?) can complement many other pieces with soft edges and softer sherpa textile. Good for seating singles or couples or singles you'd ...

Asma Ottoman

A popular style, which also means it might go well with other furniture in your living room (or you could buy the matching Granduca bench). Nice slightly nubby wool upholstery lends a nice visual texture.

Granduca Ottoman

So much style in such a small package! This visually engaging ottoman almost feels like it was inspired by M.C. Escher. The neutral color scheme helps balance out the angular shapes so whether you make one a footstool or pair two for intimate extra ...

Denise Ottoman

Entertain often? Extra seating is always useful with a crowd, so augmenting your sofas with benches or ottomans is a great way to have plenty of room for guests or even platters of canapes. This 37" wide Italian leather ottoman has a wonderfully eart...

Felicia Ottoman

The Adna with fabric upholstery is also featured on this list, however the leather version should not be ignored. Its earthy tonal coloring helps provide a more organic feel to a modern living room and its shape certainly will ensure no one mistakes ...

Adna Leather Triangular Ottoman

I can't help it; I'm a sucker for the berber look and sherpa softness is a bonus! I have already owned a number of these versatile storage ottomans/footstools. They're so handy, useful, yet unobtrusive. As far as looks go, yes this isn't the visually...

Sorbus Teddy Storage Ottoman Footstool

I admit, I dig this unusual faux tree stump piece. Its by no means realistic, yet I really like it. FWIW, they do have it in a more natural brown color, but knowing how much I like my modern black, I wanted to show it off in grey. If you enjoy a slig...

Sorbus Foldable Tree Stump Storage Ottoman

So, I'm a sucker for script fonts. Make them in French, and I'm swooning. I know over time this has gone from gorgeous to kind of everywhere, but I still think this fabric is beautiful. They had a script font chair on the TV show Revenge in a wealthy...

Emery French Script Ottoman

Double poof! I really like how the smaller one nests against the larger. They can be used separately, however I really like them together. They come in several colors including an unusual orange/rust type color that's oddly engaging. They say you can...

BSHOMGI Ottoman Nesting Set

Coffee, Side, and Accent Tables

A great coffee table really makes a living room. What gets forgotten are accent tables and side tables, like long skinny ones behind a couch, a small accent table holding a cool lamp for nearby lighting, or even low tables for televisions when you do...

Form and function. This cool round table (I show it in my classic black, but it does come in a number of other colors, mostly woodtones) has lots of storage and ways to cover it up. The sliding doors open and close as does the half lid. Sleek fully c...

Mid-Century Modern Lift-Top Coffee Table

To tell the truth, I've never been seduced by the Mid Century Modern trend, though I do have a family member who enjoys it. For them, I keep an eye out and try to be open minded when including it in my modern furniture sections. This? I kept coming ...

Furniway Mid Century Coffee Table and TV Stand
