Oklahomans aren’t typically known for their tastes in modern furnishings; in fact, any new comer to our traditional state looking for sleek lines and the minimalistic approach to decorating will have a tough time finding retailers to accommodate. But what is that on the horizon…? Its hope!
You may wonder “How modern are Oklahomans really?” and the answer may surprise you. While those homeowners with contemporary or modern tastes usually range in the late 20′s-30′s age group, designers worldwide are creating mod furniture, accessories and fixtures that will appeal to a wide demographic. Designing Diva Interiors is paying attention. By staying on top of new releases in the market I am at the ready to provide my clients with the desires of their heart; from the colorful modular sofas to the monochromatic bedding, its all out there. Below are a few pieces brand new to the scene. I would love to know which piece is your favorite!!
The Magnus Olesen i-Sit. Ergonomic as it is smart. Created by Design Concern, it features a lumbar pillow and a user-friendly mechanism that adjusts the back and tilt. The shell is constructed of laminated birch, the upholstery is wool, and the tubular steel legs are chromed. Pair it with the complementary ottoman.
Moroso. Imagine a chair without a fixed shape but with infinite possible forms, ultimately up to the sitter to supply. In a counterintuitive twist, recycled aluminum provides the malleability, while the cotton canvas underneath ensures strength.
Ecophon Master Solo S fiberglass ceiling panels.
Leucos – Dracena. Dracena pendant with polished chrome structure and handblown glass in amber, amethyst, silk white, black, and red by Leucos.

I have certainly seen my share of every Hobby Lobby, Gordman’s and Pier 1 in town but whenever possible I try to shop locally-owned businesses for my clients’ needs. Below is my short list of places I can’t get enough of for everything from one-of-a-kind lighting to quirky wall decor!
~ Cedarburg Square, Bethany (www.http://cedarburgsquare.com/)
~ The Rink, Bethany (antiques/vintage)
~ Bruno’s Home Furnishings, Oklahoma City
~ Mockingbird Manor, Oklahoma City (antiques/vintage)
~ Sterlings, Edmond
~ Uptown Marketplace, Weatherford(http://www.uptownmarketplace.com/)
Support your local business owners! These experienced shop owners often travel the globe to bring their patrons truly unique items from European iron gates to vases from East India. Better yet, let Designing Diva Interiors do the legwork for you!
