Jacqui Cocktail Table in Elle Decor magazine

Elle Decor's guide to....The Top 10 Cocktail Tables

Designers Laura Kirar and Ernest de la Torre pick their favorite coffee tables and include the Jacqui Cocktail Table from Bungalow 5.

"A terrific shape made famous by Jean-Michael Frank," de la Torre says. "The chinoiserie legs and apron are well made and the brilliant-green finish lends a great pop of color."

In addition, the painted lacquer is durable and finger-print resistant. He envisions the piece as the star of a family room decked out in a vivid palette. (courtesy Elle Decor magazine)

The modern table is also available in more neutral colors like black and white for those who want the fantastic design, less the bold color.

Ernest de la Torre notes, "Some clients want a simple style in a neutral color that will disappear into the decor. Others go for a standout that will get noticed and make everything around it seem more special."

Finally the lacquered red version is all-out fun. Pick your color, enjoy the style and start building your room. All colors available at Clayton Gray Home.

One More Top Pick - Jarrod Pendant light

Adding to that Top List of Picks from Arteriors Home is the Jarrod Pendant Light shown above. We just couldn't leave it out, since it's one of the most unique fixtures we've seen from them in a while. The varied coloring of the carved wood exterior caught our eye right away.

Upon further inspection, we were captivated by the round circles in the drum shade which allows the most beautiful display of light to shine through. Taking every detail into account, the inside top of the light fixture is mirrored, adding that bit of surprise for those catching the extra feature.

The High Point Market photo above gives a better view of the Jarrod, which is quite large at 30" in diameter, making a statement for any room. Also notice in the photo above, the Hayes Quatrefoil Mirror (top favorite from previous article) grouped in such a way that makes us want to duplicate this very look.

Top Picks from Arteriors Home

For those who attended the recent High Point Market, one thing was clear, "metal" is still really big. Seen on everything from lighting to mirrors to furniture, in smooth or hammered finish, metal is here to stay. Whether creating an entire industrial look or just adding a piece here and there for that hip vibe, we've picked our top 5 favorites from Arteriors Home that will give you the look so desired.

Small and Wide Hayden Pendant Lights from Arteriors Home are classic and simple shaped lights for the kitchen. They are ideal when paired with stainless steel appliances, especially because of the textured hammered finish.

Next up is the Hayes Mirror from Arteriors Home. The quatrefoil shape is an immediate eye catcher for any room. The zinc frame around the bevelled mirror inset is the perfect look for a modern powder room. Another look we like is grouping them (possibly 4) together for an art display that reflects at the same time.

We had to include the Hill Lamp in our list. Even though it's not metal, it will no doubt be a favorite for designers and home owners. The red color of this ceramic light from Arteriors Home fits right in with the metal craze. This table lamp infuses the perfect pop of color to brighten things up, don't you think?

Finally we picked the Halton Table as our fifth favorite from Arteriors Home. This interesting piece of furniture features a galvanized surface topping a natural wooden "x" base. With a diameter of 41.5", it's versatile for a home or office. Certainly a striking look for an entry way, small kitchen or arts and crafts area.

Of course there are many more favorites from Arteriors Home new Spring collection, so be sure to check them all out here at Clayton Gray Home!

Nora Side Table in Elle Decor

"what's hot!" section of Elle Decor magazine shows the Nora Side Table in black from Worlds Away.

Also available in the new finish of Limed Oak (shown above), the cool side table measures 26" high x 24" diameter.

Clearly enough room for your favorite table lamp, plus a few more accessories. Use the shelving area to store books, magazines or newspapers. This is a piece that is useful and looks good at the same time.
