There is something about summer that makes you want to take another look at your home. Perhaps it’s just because you can see everything so much more clearly now, as the light is so bright. Or maybe it’s just that because everyone around you is a little bit more relaxed, it gives you the energy to consider making some changes in the home or starting a new home project. Williams Sonoma Home is here to help!
For over fifty years Williams Sonoma has become synonymous with high quality crafted interiors for the American home, and for the last seven years this has also been true in Kuwait. In 2012 the 11,000-sq.-ft. Grand Avenue store was the first Williams Sonoma to open in the Middle East, and the only one to be found outside of North America.
Impeccable craftsmanship continues to be of supreme importance to Williams Sonoma, and they seek out this same vision when sourcing furnishings from skilled craftsmen across the globe. Craftsmen who still insist on artfully making furniture using traditional methods which have been honed to perfection over generations.
The in-house designers at Williams Sonoma, who believe home is at the heart of everything, create unique collections which can help you to realize the perfect aesthetic for your home that reflects your own personal style.
The finest materials ensure the longevity of the aesthetic and pieces you choose, or at least until you will want to enlist the expertise of a Williams Sonoma design consultant during an in-home visit to breathe even more life into your home once again.
You can take pleasure in choosing from many beautifully designed and well-considered collections, each one with their own distinct heritage influence.
The polished nickel frame and clean lines of the Mercer Dining Table wouldn’t look out of place in a Corbusier Villa, an Art Deco theme abundantly evident in the purist shape, and the table is indeed informed by 1930’s design.
As is the style of the accompanying Dining Side Chair; nickel legs polished to a high shine and lacquered to preserve the finish. The padded seat and the back are made from Tuscan leather and again cut and raised into a typically geometric form, but the strong shape and use of color hints more at a modern interpretation of Bauhaus. A note of interest, the Mercer table in the smallest size, works wonderfully as a desk.
Moving away from dining and into the living room, Williams Sonoma concentrates on comfort. The Windsor sofa is, as the royal name suggests, elegant. It is rather reminiscent of a Chesterfield, with its button-tufted back and sides. Deep set, so you can enjoy sitting back to relax, the foam padding supported by hand-tied springs ensures to keep you lounging happily for hours.
The traditional Chesterfield-type element has been placed within a modern, clean-line profile making the design endlessly versatile. Goose Down throw pillows, tailored in a matching upholstery fabric, add another layer of comfort to this impressive piece which sits majestically atop solid, oak block feet.
Finally, when it comes to retiring for the evening, who wouldn’t want to luxuriate in a Broderick Bed. Featuring the natural beauty of wood grain with mirrored ash veneers the style is block-cut in a stunning geometric pattern.
The grey finish is reminiscent of the most beautiful driftwood, lending the piece organic appeal, despite it being so sharply cut. An intriguing juxtaposition making the piece suitable for most bedrooms as it complements both classic and modern decor. And you can be sure that each bed, entirely handcrafted by skilled artisans is unique, due to naturally occurring variations in wood grain patterns.
Ultimately, if you need a fresh perspective on your home be it for the dining room, living room or anywhere else in the home where you wish to make your space feel warm and inviting, you can do no wrong visiting Williams Sonoma Home.
