Contemporary designClean, low-slung lines rule in the furniture corridor along Western Avenue in Pioneer Square. Here, "modern" is a timeless concept. Antiques & salvaged style You'll find rich clusters of antique stores around the Greenwood, Ballard, and Pioneer Square neighborhoods, with shops specializing either in American or European designs. Mod style It's that pendulum thing — styles that become laughably out of vogue will invariably come back in full force a decade or three later. Garden living Sure, you could set up a plastic table and some chairs from Kmart on your deck, but can you really call that “living?” Imported treasures Whether your décor calls for folksy carvings from Indonesia or sleek lines of antique Japanese furniture, you'll likely find it somewhere in the city. |
