18 Luxury Furniture Brands To Effortlessly Elevate Your Space
From Jonathan Adler to 1stDibs.
The key to a well-rounded home is a high-low approach to decorating, so if you've already scored a few affordable pieces and are in the market to splurge, luxury furniture brands are a good place to start. Here's the thing, though: There's no need to go all out financially on pieces that you can (and may as well) get on the cheap, like floor lamps or end tables. The pieces you'll want to spend a pretty penny on are the ones that make a bit more of an impact, like sofas, bed frames, and dining tables, to name a few.
The only potential issue is the sheer number of luxury furniture outposts, so we went ahead and narrowed the list down to just 18 picks, all of which are equally luxe and worthy of any stylish space. So if you want to upgrade or elevate yours, you've come to the right place. Ahead, we break down these brands' backstories, best-selling furniture types, and more so that you can make a well-informed and educated purchase.
From 1stDibs, which sells some of the world's rarest antiques, to West Elm, whose pieces are modern reinterpretations of a bygone design era, there are a lot of options to consider, so before making an impulsive decision, think about your space and what would help it look its best. Whether you're going for something bold and colorful or something a bit more demure, you'll surely find it below.
Maiden Home
Maiden Home is a female-founded and -operated brand based out of New York City. All of the pieces are designed in the Big Apple and made by hand in North Carolina, so unless the furniture is shipping to its forever home outside of the U.S., everything will always stay domestic. Though the pieces look utterly contemporary, there's something Scandinavian about them that makes them extra visually captivating to us.
Frontgate
Frontgate has thousands of pieces that are designed by the brand's in-house team. Though there are myriad styles—French country, contemporary American, and everything in between—the pieces tend to skew European, which is never a bad thing. If you want to be surrounded by beautiful furniture but don't fancy yourself an interior designer, just book an appointment with any of the brand's creative experts. They can help you create a dreamy oasis you'll love.
Homary
Homary doesn't sell any other brands, but it does, however, have designers and manufacturers all over the world, so you'll find a few different design styles without even trying. Case in point: This highly modern curved sofa that's paired with a set of fluted coffee tables. There's also a bevy of more traditional alternatives, so no matter what you're looking for, you'll surely find it here. Pro tip: Homary has sales all the time, so if you see something you love but don't want to spend a ton of money, wait a few weeks for it to go on sale.
Outer
We couldn't round up our favorite luxury furniture brands and not include Outer, which, as its name implies, sells outdoor pieces. All of them—from the dining tables to the lounge chairs—feature the same minimalist, clean-lined aesthetic, so any combination looks good together. They're also designed to be durable, comfortable, and sustainable, all elements we love.
Serena & Lily
Serena & Lily is famous for its collection of coastal-inspired furniture that somehow works in any space—no matter how far it is from the ocean. If you like the maximalist look, Serena & Lily may not be the brand for you because every piece—whether it's the gently detailed bedding or the handmade light fixtures—has a pared-back feel.
Castlery
Above all else, furniture should be comfortable. Next and almost as important is style. Castlery pieces happen to prioritize both. The American brand sells pretty much every type of furniture you'd need to outfit your whole home, but it's most famous for its well-loved sofas, which are as comfortable as they look. Plus, in most cases, there's an opportunity to customize your piece, so before adding the in-stock option to your cart, peep all of the options to personalize it to your space.
Burrow
Burrow is another brand most well-known for its sofas, but we want to shine a light on the other furniture because it's just as good as the sumptuous sectionals and cozy loveseats. Did we mention that Burrow has an online outlet with hundreds of discounted brand-new pieces? If you're looking to score a luxury piece at a budget-friendly price, look no further.
MacKenzie-Childs
Anyone with an affinity for bold patterns and a smart use of color probably loves MacKenzie-Childs, which was founded by a husband-and-wife team back in 1983. In the 30 years since, they've expanded their operation from ceramics and cookware to full-blown furniture collections.
Wayfair
When you hear Wayfair, luxury furniture may not come to mind, but hear us out: Wayfair, which is known for its fast, free shipping, carries thousands of brands, some of which are pretty luxe. One of our personal favorites is AllModern, whose pieces and name are inspired by one of the most beloved design movements of all time: midcentury modern.
Lumens
Lumens has it all, but most of its inventory spans the lighting category, so you can expect some seriously cool fixtures. One of our personal favorites is the Arco lamp, which was designed in 1962 by brothers Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo for Flos. More than 60 years later, this arched floor lamp is still in production, as it has become a collector's item for midcentury enthusiasts.
Albany Park
Albany Park is one of those brands you love as much for the cozy furniture as you do for the backstory. It was founded by husband-and-wife Darryl and Jessica Sharpton in 2019 out of nothing other than necessity. The couple was in hot pursuit of a new sofa for their home and were overwhelmed by the thousands of options on the market, so they thought long and hard about what they wanted and designed it themselves, which was the impetus for their new brand. Albany Park sells only a few models (with different iterations) of each furniture type, minimizing the amount of unnecessary stress that goes into furniture shopping.
West Elm
Midcentury aficionados definitely know West Elm, which has used the design era as a launching point for its clever adaptations of iconic 20th-century pieces. Though the furniture itself doesn't dupe any specific products, the look leans heavily midcentury with its organic materials and gentle curves.
Jonathan Adler
Jonathan Adler operates on a totally different wavelength than many of our other picks. It's louder, bolder, and more colorful. Each piece is designed by the interior designer himself, so there's a touch of whimsy and youthfulness in everything—from the catchall trays to the sofas. Nothing Adler creates is boring, so if you want to spruce up your space with some big personality, start here.
Anthropologie
On to a totally different look, Anthropologie leans more bohemian than anything else. Expect lots of natural materials, caning, gentle palettes, and motifs that reference nature. There's something warm and welcoming about all of the pieces that Anthropologie sells, so feel free to incorporate a bit of coziness into your space with a piece of its typically handmade furniture.
Pottery Barn
Pottery Barn is our destination for all things traditional, including this natural wood bed frame. For anyone who assumes that traditional translates to boring, we're here to set the record straight: Traditional furniture comprises pieces that feel timeless. This bedroom, for instance, will look just as stylish in 50 years as it does now. So if you're on the hunt for pieces that will age well, Pottery Barn is your best bet. Plus, a few of the furniture collections, including this chandelier, skew to the contemporary side.
The Citizenry
If you're shocked to learn that The Citizenry sells furniture (in addition to its massive collection of decor that's handmade around the world by some of the most talented artisans alive), you're not alone. The brand does, in fact, have furniture! There's not a ton, but there's enough to decorate a nook or small space in your home. Like the smaller pieces, it's all made by hand with an incredible attention to detail.
Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams
It doesn't get more luxurious than Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, which has been crafting pieces by its namesake designers since 1989. Each piece is carefully bench-made by in-house artisans, so every detail—from the dyed leather to the stitching—is finished by hand. If you plan on outfitting your home in several Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams pieces, you may as well join the club (literally), and score up to 25 percent off.
1stDibs
1stDibs is home to some of the rarest finds on earth, which may sound dramatic, but it's true. The vibe it's been going for since its inception in 2000? The Paris flea market but a bit more elevated because everything comes from coveted sellers. Case in point: the famed glowing Ultrafragola mirror that Italian maker Ettore Sottsass designed in 1970. There is also a sizable collection of new and custom pieces, so no matter what you're looking for, you'll find it here.
