For many of us, our homes are our most sacred places. They’re where we make some of our favorite memories and where we find peace, comfort, and rejuvenation when life throws its many trials and tribulations our way. So opting to fill that home with high-quality furniture that looks and feels extraordinary is an investment many homeowners are willing to make.
“The best luxury furniture pairs thoughtful design with best-in-class materials,” says Dan Campbell, president of BenchMade Modern. “You’ll want to go deeper than simply how a sofa, chair, or bed looks. It’s how it's made that’s equally important.”
Many lower-end furniture offerings are mass produced, which is why they can be more affordable. But high-end furniture is often handcrafted, customized, and made to order, which drives up the price but also increases durability, quality, and often sustainability. So while you might spend more money up front for a high-quality piece, it’s also likely to last much longer than more budget-friendly, mass produced offerings.
From luxe, mid-century-inspired furniture to eclectic, industrial, and coastal cool looks, these luxury furniture stores offer long-lasting investments for every taste and style.
1. BenchMade Modern
BenchMade Modern's Skinny Fat Sofa
BenchMade Modern is founded on the idea of “rebellious luxury”. The brand’s selection of high-end sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, and chaise lounges are made to be used and loved rather than covered in plastic and tip-toed around.
According to Dan Campbell, president of BenchMade Modern, “Every BenchMade Modern piece is handcrafted in the USA, pairing old-world furniture-making techniques with modern technology.” But fine craftsmanship doesn’t mean you have to wait ages for your new piece of furniture: “Our ability to create high-quality custom pieces with short lead times is unmatched, allowing customers to own a piece of furniture that’s made just for them in their ideal silhouette, size, style, and color.”
Maiden Home is your one-stop-shop for all of your furniture needs. The high-end retailer offers handcrafted furniture for every room in the home, whether you’re outfitting a new home office, curating a dining room design, seeking new bedroom furniture, or renovating your living room.
Each piece is conceptualized in Maiden Home’s New York design studio and handmade to order by artisan partners in North Carolina using generational woodworking, tailoring, and upholstery techniques. The furniture designs feature a modern yet timeless look, with stunning silhouettes, rich upholstery, and fine details that make for heirloom pieces you’ll cherish for decades.
Interior Define’s luxe home furnishings span everything from dining tables, bed frames, and lighting fixtures to side tables, sectionals, coffee tables, and outdoor furniture, so you can find just about anything you’re looking for to refresh your living space.

And thanks to high-quality construction using thoughtful materials, like kiln-dried hardwoods and top-grain leathers, each piece you invest in is built to withstand the test of time.
Fyrn offers a small but mighty collection of minimalist, hardwood dining tables, nesting tables, barstools, and dining chairs. Equal parts timeless, elegant, and resilient, Fyrn’s high-end pieces are made using a proprietary parts-and-pieces system called Stemn, which allows the brand to make high-quality pieces at scale.
Each piece of furniture combines premium materials, like North American hardwood, with an elegantly simple design that will look great in any decade. The brand’s modern furniture also comes with a 10-year warranty, offering piece of mind for your investment.

Lulu & Georgia curates modern furniture and decor elevated by fine craftsmanship, exclusive designer collaborations, and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, so it’s no surprise that the brand is so popular.

But you also find plenty of contemporary pieces for the dining room, living room, and home office, as well as a thoughtful selection of outdoor furniture. Steeped in modernistic tenets, like form meeting function, every piece at Knoll is designed to last, rejecting one-minute trends in favor of long-lasting, durable pieces that physically and figuratively look fresh for decades.

The brand also offers lighting fixtures and decor, like mirrors, artwork, and throws. Basically, if you want it, you can probably find it here. And every item at Industry West was designed with purpose, resulting in gorgeous, contract-grade furniture that looks high-end while remaining comfortable and approachable.
Speaking of purpose, Blu Dot’s ethos is grounded in purpose with a personality. Every piece is designed in-house at the retailer’s Minneapolis studio, and once an item makes it to the showroom floor, it’s always a statement-maker.
At first glance, the furniture is equally classic and stunning, but upon further inspection, you’ll find incredibly unique and original details, along with compelling shapes and silhouettes that can elevate any interior design. You’ll also discover a range of aesthetics that draw inspiration from mid-century modern, industrial, and contemporary looks, so you should have no trouble finding the perfect piece for your unique look.

In addition to being beautiful and interesting, Modloft’s offerings our durable and long lasting thanks to the brand’s commitment to high-quality raw materials, which are sourced from countries that specialize in those particular materials.
“We discovered many years ago that countries like Brazil have tremendous natural resources in wood and leather,” Modloft’s founder Ted Toledano told Living Cozy, “so we design many products made from those raw materials in Brazil and manufacture them in certain parts of the country where it's advantageous to produce it.” Meanwhile, they source much of their glass and fabric from Italy.
