Simran Kaur of Room You Love told Homes & Gardens, “Bobbin furniture is a perfect fit as the design industry is moving back towards sustainability without compromising beauty and aesthetics. Both standards ,” she says. “Likewise, it evokes childhood feelings of feeling with your hands the decorative design, its solidity, and the texture it brings to a room.” It looks equally great when occupying space with a list aesthetic, allowing sculpted elements to get the attention they deserve. While maximalist rooms are never lacking in visual interest, minimalist rooms can suffer from monochromatic flatness and a lack of dimension.
A room that combines bobbin pieces with more modern elements creates a striking juxtaposition of old and new that is incredibly stylish and modern. These intricately carved pieces take center stage in contemporary spaces, making them stand out as works of art rather than just furniture. By mixing more antique items with modern accents like industrial lighting, modern art, and more contemporary accent items, the effect becomes layered and infinitely multidimensional. Consider adding bobbin-style items to your modern room, like Amazon's Safavieh Home Collection Console Table or World Market's cute Bobbin Pedestal Side Table. Smaller options include Walmart's sculptural Mabeon bobbin-style glass candle holders and Target's minimalist bamboo table lamps.
