The Refectory Table

Waverly Place upholstered chairs
Waverly Place is a cheerful collection sharing an English legacy with the great-room tradition. The ample, rough-hewn plank-top table invites both banquets and buffets. Its refectory style also makes it the perfect library table. Set certain places with trays or platters for a buffet lunch or after-school snacks. This versatile table furniture is formal when you want it to be - and hale-and-hearty enough for office and family activities. Large pots of garden flowers are natural accessories. Ladderback chairs keep the mood of the English countryside. Upholstered chairs encourage lingering around the table for afternoon tea.

Wine Cabinets

Seven Seas wine cabinet
Great rooms are perfect for entertaining and hobbies - home furniture such as this Seven Seas wine cabinet fits in beautifully. This versatile piece, with its aged parquet top, can also be used for conventional storage by adjusting the shelves. Store favorite bottles or good linens beneath, and use the top for display, a buffet, or to stage a wine-and-cheese party.

Seating Arrangements

Ransom from Bradington-Young
Large open spaces easily accommodate big, comfy seating. Consider the wonderfully reliable club chair - the Ranson from Bradington Young.

Coco accent arm chair
Its curved wings coordinate nicely with the sofas. Tucked into a corner or nearby window, it's a fine spot to curl up. A chair with a more ladylike demeanor is the Coco accent arm chair, in a finish evoking London's famous fog, and upholstered in a classic floral. One of more will move around the room easily as you require. Visit www.bradington-young.com for more details.

Occasional Tables

For tables at sofa - or chairside, the metal and penshell Sanibel lamp tables are elegant choices. This charming collection also includes a round accent table.

Home Theater

Villa Sienna is a stately old-world setting for new-era technology. This home theater furniture has a variety of individual sections that combine to make a room's focal point. No great room is without its stage for video - whether your tastes run to high-definition sports or classic movies.

Home Office

Marble-topped writing desk
Great rooms are ideal settings for home offices. This marble-topped writing desk is a major statement - not an afterthought.

Montclair lateral file

New Castle double bookcase
Montclair lateral file in chestnut burl and cherry veneers with antique-finished hardware, and the New Castle double bookcase, another heritage-inspired piece meant to meet the needs of today - and do so elegantly.
