Clearly Chic
I've had an obsession with Lucite/acrylic furniture for a while now and lately, I seem to be noticing it everywhere. Who knew crystal clear, see-through furniture could look so chic and be used in so many different ways? Chairs, cocktail and console tables, bench and ottoman legs, desks, light fixtures...the list goes on and on. And the best part is that you can place a piece of Lucite/acrylic furniture in just about any setting - modern, traditional, industrial, rustic...as you'll see in the gallery of photos I've pulled together. I'm especially in love with the Louis Style acrylic dining chairs from Room Service (image #14). Those have been officially added to my ongoing / neverending home decor "wish list"! What do you think about this furniture style? Would you use it in your own home?

Cute title! Mmmm, these rooms are chic. The first pic - the kitchen - is so pretty. And I love everything about the entryway with the lucite table and owl umbrella stand. The artwork, the chandelier - everything was perfect.
ReplyDeleteI like lucite for coffee tables and consoles...waterfall tables are my favourite...as for chairs...not all around the dining table..a couple of louis ghost chairs at the ends maybe or better still one for the home office...anything more than that...and I'd be wiping my 2-yr old's finger prints all day!!
ReplyDeleteI lusted LUSTED after one particular lucite chair for two years. When I finally went to purchase it and actually sit in it, I had to admit it wasn't worth it. I was quite crushed. But I love the look and would try other pieces.
ReplyDeleteI LOOOVE lucite :) I have a ghost chair and just adore it! I love the image with the lucite coffee table with gold accent hardware... what a fabulous mix of inspiration!

I'm still a bit on the fence with lucite as furniture. I've been seeing it all over!
ReplyDeleteA local restaurant recently did away with the old wood chairs & added in lucite ones. Its not the most flattering or appetizing to see.
I think some of the table look great. But then again they look like they aren't there. Allows other things to be the focus.
Dunno. I think its going to be a trend for sure but for how long?
I don't see these poor things lasting the time and reckon it'll start looking dated sooner or later. However I do like some of the coffee and side tables, rather an interesting look!
ReplyDeleteMixed feelings. :)
I have been on the search for a small lucite end table to introduce to our small home. I think it is a fantastic idea for small spaces. Now that I see the desk as well, that gives me new ideas. Also love the bench.

Yes, please! I especially love the barstools in the first two pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I am still remorseful about a lucite end table that got away from me on Ebay.

I love these. I've really wanted a lucite coffee table for a while now. They just make the rooms seem so much larger!

i am loving all the clear elements
ReplyDeleteI love all the images you pulled together. Lucite wouldn't work in my place, but I think it's so cool and chic.
ReplyDeleteLove lucite - also an obsession of late. Just ordered a lucite piano bench with purple upholstery. can't wait...
ReplyDeleteI am LOVING lucite right now... but agree it's a trend and will fade. The beauty of trends though, is that they WILL come back! I particularly like the look of just one chair, at a desk or in a corner. Cute post!

Cute title! All your rooms looks fabelous.... The first pic is so pretty. And I love everything about the entryway with the lucite table..Especially the purple bedroom looks amazing... http://www.vivamagonline.com Awesome Post...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I adore the look of lucite! Especially those Louis chairs!
ReplyDeleteThey are truly fitting in in every type of environment!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great day!
Fantastic! Lucite furniture I like especially combined with white and mirrors.
ReplyDeletethe chairs in the first picture are amazing, and you are right, lucite works with every style, and specially in small spaces, they dont stand out. I have two chairs in my home and i just love them!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I LOVE lucite! Of course Ghost chairs have always been my favorite but I'll take any of it, really.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best roundup -- a lot of images I have not seen!
I agree with you, lucite is fabulous! I love how versatile it is. Love the coffee table in Pic # 11, and have been trying to track one down for ages!
ReplyDeleteI love all this lucite and chrystal, it is just what a modern room needs, a little sparkle.
