Product + Inspiration: A New Blog Series from ConfettiStyle

There are two things I really love in life….design and shopping.  Those two things go hand in hand in my book and there’s no better way to share two of my passions with you then in a new blog series called Product and Inspiration.  

Similar to “get the look” post that you might see on other blogs, my goal for each Product and Inspiration post is to share a product I love along with inspirational design photos using that item (or something very similar) AND a design tip or two.    I hope you enjoy “shopping” with me and more importantly I hope you’re inspired to decorate your life in style.

One of my favorite “budget-friendly” furniture pieces is the Docksta Table from Ikea.   The design of this table is inspired by the high-end Saarinen Table that has become an icon in the design world.  The Docksta Table has the same classic and fluid lines as the original and is a great buy at a fraction of  the price ($199)

 

The beauty of this table is that there are so many ways you can decorate with it…

Use it as a breakfast table

Style at Home

Use it as a foyer table

Honey We’re Home

Use it as a dining table

Domaine Home

Use it as an accent table

and my favorite use for the Docksta Table…in a home office!

And when it comes to choosing chairs to go with your Docksta Table, it’s your pick because every chair style works with this table.

Design tip:  Don’t be afraid to mix traditional and modern decor.
