If you are a regular House Beautiful reader, you already know that there is nothing we shopping editors love more than an affordable find, especially if it looks expensive. That said, every now and then, we are eager to splurge on our favorite luxury furniture brands. So, we turned to a designer for some expertise in doing so: Nina Lichtenstein, who owns and runs her namesake firm in Westchester, New York, generally fills her clients' homes with pieces from high-end retailers, so she was eager to share her thoughts on the subject. "While budget furniture has its place, there are compelling reasons to shop luxury, especially when designing a space meant to last," she notes. We couldn't agree more.
That place, we'll add, is in pieces whose qualities don't really impact your experience with them, including table lamps, end tables, and coat racks, among others. "Investing in foundational, statement pieces while filling in with well-chosen budget-friendly finds allows for a home that feels elevated yet livable, provided those lower-cost pieces maintain a high standard of quality and design," Lichtenstein instructs. So, we rounded up our favorite luxury furniture brands whose pieces are worth every penny. Ready for an upgrade? Keep scrolling for a good one—or several.

Artemest Artemest is where to shop if you're looking for truly special pieces that may steal the spotlight. That said, those who prefer a more subdued look that isn't boring, perhaps don't decorate your entire space in Artemest pieces. Instead, look for those unique items that set the tone and aesthetic of your space. We also happen to have it on good authority that this spot is designers' secret weapon when updating a space that's in dire need of a facelift. Personally, we love Artemest because it is a treasure trove of hundreds of incredible small-batch brands that, unless we were exploring the streets of a European city, we may have never heard of.

Bassett When Bassett was founded in 1902, most furniture designers were, for the most part, cabinet makers, and Bassett was no different. The early 20th century experienced a massive boom in growth, so there was an urgent need to supply furniture to all of the new houses, tenements, and more across the country. Now, you won't find any cabinets with the Bassett stamp, but rather, an array of hand-crafted furniture that reflects the brand's humble beginnings. Though highly traditional and without a lot of ornamentation, Bassett's pieces are nostalgic in all the right ways, boasting a very subtle hint at Americana vibes. Our favorite items:

Kathy Kuo Home If the name Kathy Kuo sounds familiar, you may recognize it from the pages of myriad design publications or HGTV's Knock First and Rowhouse Showdown. Believe it or not, Kuo doesn't spend all of her time designing beautiful spaces or appearing on television shows; she also has a namesake furniture collection that covers every room of the house, including the outdoors. The retailer also carries several other brands, so feel free to buy everything you'll need for your space here. Lichtenstein says, "This brand features curated, high-end selections with a designers touch." Our favorite items:

One Kings Lane One Kings Lane may be most people's destination for vintage treasures, but the online marketplace actually sells more than enough new and custom pieces. In fact, there's actually more than triple the amount of vintage furniture, so it's almost impossible to get the categories (contemporary and decades-old) mixed up. If, on the other hand, you're in the market for something vintage, just click on the vintage tab. Our favorite items:

Abask Full disclosure: Abask sells more decor than furniture, but its small collection is incredible. Take, for instance, this stool, which Osanna Visconti handmade for The House of Lyria. If you're not familiar with Abask, let us just say that every piece—even the hardware—is made by an individual artisan in all corners of the world, from Paris to São Paulo. Our favorite items:

Lemieux Et Cie If the name sounds familiar, that's because Lemieux Et Cie was founded by interior designer and home furnishings entrepreneur Christiane Lemieux (who also founded The Inside) back in 2020. The brand, which is designed to look highly luxurious, partners with master artisans and producers around the world. Our favorite items:

GreenRow GreenRow may be new, contemporary furniture, but it's designed to be passed down and eventually become heritage pieces. Unlike most centuries—or decades-old pieces, which weren't exactly made with sustainability in mind, GreenRow crafts its pieces with innovative, natural materials—all of which are responsibly sourced.

Rove Concepts Rove Concepts sells a lot of favorites familiar to those with an affinity for midcentury modern design. Plenty—if not most—of the furniture is a reproduction of the original design. You'll find everything from arguably the most famous modular sofa (the Togo by Ligne Roset) to a giant slab of marble that doubles as a coffee table (a very popular design move in the 1960s). Trust us: you'll find the perfect midcentury piece at Rove Concepts. Our favorite items:

Le Maé If you're wondering why you may not be familiar with this coastal-cool furniture brand, it's not because you're out of the loop; it's because it just launched (in September 2024, to be specific). Founded by interior designer Lindye Galloway, the collection is like an ode to easy, breezy, minimalism, complete with natural materials, soft textures, and a beautifully muted palette. While you can definitely score a few items on the cheap, most of the pieces on offer are what we'd consider a splurge—and 100 percent worth it. Our favorite items:

Serena & Lily Serena & Lily is famous for its collection of coastal-inspired furniture that somehow works in any space—no matter how far it is from the ocean. If you like the maximalist look, Serena & Lily may not be the brand for you because every piece—whether it's the gently detailed bedding or the handmade light fixtures—has a pared-back feel. Lichtenstein says, "Serena & Lily is a go-to for coastal-inspired luxury with beautiful textiles and craftsmanship." Our favorite items:

Maiden Home Maiden Home is a female-founded and -operated brand based out of New York City. All of the pieces are designed in the Big Apple and made by hand in North Carolina, so unless the furniture is shipping to its forever home outside of the U.S., everything will always stay domestic. Though the pieces look utterly contemporary, there's something Scandinavian about them that makes them extra visually captivating to us. Our favorite items:

Frontgate Frontgate has thousands of pieces that are designed by the brand's in-house team. Though there are myriad styles—French country, contemporary American, and everything in between—the pieces tend to skew European, which is never a bad thing. If you want to be surrounded by beautiful furniture but don't fancy yourself an interior designer, just book an appointment with any of the brand's creative experts. They can help you create a dreamy oasis you'll love. Our favorite items:

Plus, in most cases, there's an opportunity to customize your piece, so before adding the in-stock option to your cart, peep all of the options to personalize it to your space. Our favorite items:
