High-Low Interior Decoration: Pairing Retail with Designer Pieces
First, this post is not sponsored—just sharing what I’m loving right now. As an interior designer, I believe in blending custom, designer-only furniture with thoughtfully selected retail pieces to create a high-end, curated look. A truly sophisticated home isn’t about everything being bespoke or everything being from a retail store—it’s about the mix. At Jamie House Design, we source from places like the Denver Design Center for exclusive, trade-only pieces while incorporating beautifully designed retail finds to balance a space.
Retail brands like CB2 have stepped up their game, offering stylish, well-designed furniture that pairs seamlessly with custom and antique pieces. Thoughtfully integrating retail selections with high-end furnishings creates a dynamic, curated home—one that feels intentional and timeless.
Best Retail Furniture Finds for a Designer Look
Mill Console Table
A designer favorite, this slim, elegant console table works in nearly any space. At 56” long and only 10” deep, it’s the perfect problem-solver for tight entryways or behind a floating sofa.
Burano Charcoal Grey Leather Sling Chair
This is one of the best retail dining chairs available today. The leather detailing and timeless silhouette make it look high-end. It’s a piece that will remain relevant for years.
Cleo Grey Cantilever Chair
A stunning, durable leather dining chair with perfect proportions—because nobody wants an uncomfortable dining chair. This piece blends seamlessly with traditional or modern settings, making it a go-to for a high-low mix.
Castafiore Upholstered Bench
A refined yet modern end-of-bed bench. The clean lines make it a perfect finishing touch without overwhelming the space.
La Strizza Saddle Leather Bench
A luxurious, versatile bench that works beautifully in front of a fireplace or in an entryway. Its design feels both modern and classic—perfect for a sophisticated, layered interior.
Jelly Bean Coffee Table
A sculptural piece that adds elegance and softness to any space. Rounded edges are not just stylish but also practical, preventing those inevitable shin bumps. This piece has had some manufacturing issue but shipping delays suggest updates are in progress, fingers crossed for its return.
Ballam Side Table
A go-to designer piece featuring a subtle green marble top. Ideal for tight spaces, its understated elegance adds a touch of luxury.
Bordo XL Dining Table
Retail dining tables can be tricky due to size limitations and durability concerns, but this one is an exception. The curved lines make it an elegant choice, and it doubles beautifully as a statement desk.
Archer Lacquered Linen Nightstand
Perfect for low-profile beds, this piece has a chic shape. Pro tip: swap the knob for a brass or wood alternative for a customized touch. And remember—never buy a full matching bedroom set! Mix and match pieces for a curated look.
Gather Leather Wall Mounted Storage Cabinet
A sleek, space-saving storage solution with unexpected leather detailing. Hung in pairs, it can create a modern, asymmetrical media setup for a polished, designer feel.
OUTDOOR FURNITURE
