“People like the uncluttered modern look with it’s very simple lines,” said Paula Baldoni, Design Consultant at Toms-Price in Old Orchard Center. Paula recently put together a stunning family room in an older house for a client living in Lake Balmoral, near Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. The room features a contemporary look with the Hancock & Moore Sorenson sofa with two creamy-toned Elkins chairs by Vanguard. She also customized the Charleston Forge Newhart Square cocktail table size and finished the top in a darker wood stain. Interesting accent tables and a shag rug completed the room to make it modern and very livable.
Toms-Price designers love the sleek, streamlined look of modern furniture. They are like pieces of art and can make a statement all their own.

Susan Palinski, Design Consultant at Toms-Price in Wheaton, has her modern favorites too. One of them is Stickley’s High Line Curved Gathering Island. (Shown in our top photo.) This ingenious piece sits behind a sofa like a typical sofa table, but it’s bar height, allowing for chairs or stools underneath. It’s great in a small apartment in place of a dining table or in a living room or family room for casual entertaining. Susan also loves Saloom furniture “for it’s modern look and great quality and pricing.” She recommends the Saloom glass-top, K-base table (shown below).

Toms-Price gives a nod to mid-century modern pieces like this very cool Suri Sofa by Sherrill Precedent. The purple velvet Langley Chair, also by Sherrill Precedent, is shown with the Depth Perception end table by Caracole.
