			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in the early 90s, &#8220;Seinfeld&#8217;s&#8221; Kramer created a coffee table book consisting of pictures of famous celebrity coffee tables. But are there any coffee tables that are truly interesting enough to compile into a book? We think so, especially after some of the creative and unique designs we&#8217;ve seen. Some of those designs, five of which we share with you below, are so incredibly unique that photographs of them would make a great coffee table book.<span id="more-2250"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2257" title="Illusion Table" src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/illusion-table.jpg" alt="Illusion Table" width="600" height="502" /></p>
<p>1. <strong>Illusions</strong>: One of our favourite designs is not actually one specific table, but a design concept. One example is a table made of acrylic material and designed to look like a gorgeous linen tablecloth draped over a small, round table. What creates the illusion is the fact that the translucent &#8220;tablecloth&#8221; falls all the way to the floor, forming the legs that support it. However, the illusion presents the idea that there is no table supporting the tablecloth. It is a gorgeous piece.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2267" title="Paper Airplane Coffee Table" src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/paper-airplane-coffee-table.jpg" alt="Paper Airplane Coffee Table" width="400" height="280" /></p>
<p>2. <strong>The Paper Airplane</strong>: For the whimsical child in all of us we recommend the paper airplane coffee table. It looks exactly as the name suggests; like a piece of white notebook paper folded into an airplane. This is the perfect coffee table for the haute kitsch interior designer whose clients want to create a playful space.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2255" title="Ripple Table" src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sd-ripple-table.jpg" alt="Ripple Table" width="450" height="335" /></p>
<p>3. <strong>3-D Ripple</strong>: <strong></strong>One of the most fascinating coffee-table designs we&#8217;ve ever seen is known as the 3-D ripple. This effect is created by using a combination of aluminium and resin materials along with a highly specialized milling process to create the look of rippling water.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2256" title="Grass Table" src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/grass-table.jpg" alt="Grass Table" width="450" height="316" /></p>
<p>4. <strong>Nature Tables</strong>: Similar to our first design, nature tables are more of a concept than a specific table. We&#8217;ve seen nature tables that include a potting bed right down the centre, big enough to accommodate grass, plants, or small shrubs. We&#8217;ve also seen nature tables incorporating a rather impressive fish tank into the glass base. There are all sorts of nature coffee tables that will blow your mind &#8211; if bringing the outdoors inside is what appeals to you.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2259" title="Rubiks Cube Coffee Table" src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rubiks-cube-coffee-tables.jpg" alt="Rubiks Cube Coffee Table" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p><strong></strong>5. <strong>The Rubick&#8217;s Cube</strong>: Finally, for the ultimate statement of 1980s culture you need the Rubik&#8217;s Cube coffee table. These coffee tables are giant replicas of the famous 1980s puzzle that swept the world. You can&#8217;t actually move around the individual tiles, but the visual effect is stunning nonetheless.</p>
<p>Why not have a look at the <a title="Coffee Tables" href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/living-room-furniture/coffee-tables/" target="_blank">coffee tables</a> we have to offer, there are beautiful contemporary pieces to match any style of room.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no secret that many of us dream of nothing better than to walk into their present job for the last time and excitedly tell their boss and workmates that they&#8217;re starting up in business on their own. However, the major stumbling block with this type of dream is actually taking the next big step and getting round to leaving your present employment. With the recent economic slow down, government cuts, wage freezes and redundancies, many employees are now looking at a very insecure future in their present workplace.</p>
<p>This may be the perfect time for some, to take their <strong>redundancy money and actually begin living their dream</strong>.<br /> <span id="more-2236"></span></p>
<p>When you start-up your own business you often have to watch <strong>spending costs</strong>. Like so many fresh start-ups, in order to cut costs, <strong>starting their business from their own home</strong> is a very sensible option.</p>
<p>Working from home has <strong>certain advantages</strong>, such as you are never too far from your workplace, everything is close at hand and the <strong>financial benefits</strong> can be seen right away as they&#8217;re not paying for office space.</p>
<p>When it comes to preparing your home office &#8211; <strong><a title="home of contemporary furniture" href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/">UK Contemporary Furniture</a></strong> have a vast range of <a title="computer desks" href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/computer-desks/">computer desks</a> and <a title="filing cabinets" href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/filing-cabinets">filing cabinets</a> which will ensure your <a title="home office furniture" href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/home-office/">home office furniture</a> has that <em>professional</em> and <em>stylish</em> look &amp; feel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the warm summer days, people like nothing better than to sit outside, enjoying their morning coffee or even better sitting down to their evening meal and a few drinks after a hectic day at the office. This &#8216;<strong>Al Fresco</strong>&#8216; living is perhaps more suited to our European cousins than us here in Britain, however, we&#8217;re catching up fast.</p>
<p>One of the problems that we in Britain experienced in the past, when it came to <strong>eating al fresco style</strong>, is that  we were never <strong>properly equipped for outdoor dining</strong>.<br />
<span id="more-2233"></span></p>
<p>Nowadays, when it comes to eating in the sunshine you can do so from your own stylish full dining set or even relax on a 3 piece suite in your garden. Whether it&#8217;s fine dining or a family BBQ our fully <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/rattan" title="view our rattan garden sets">weatherproof PVC rattan dining sets</a> will be the perfect accompaniment to any garden.</p>
<p>The days of balancing food on our laps and struggling to reach drinks (often an arms length away, sitting on the decking) are a thing of the past. Have a look at our <strong><a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/garden" title="view our garden furniture">stylish al fresco dining furniture</a></strong> and see for yourself what we mean&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to decorating your home, it&#8217;s best beforehand to have an idea of the colour scheme, the furniture you&#8217;re going to use and even right down to the furnishings that&#8217;ll give the room it&#8217;s final creative touch. That is, till you stumble across a store or website that&#8217;s full of alternative creations&#8230; It&#8217;s back to the drawing board, again. </p>
<p>However, as many parents have found out &#8211; to their cost &#8211; one of the hardest rooms to decorate has to be an older kids bedroom.<br />
<span id="more-2229"></span></p>
<p>Choosing the correct colour scheme, furniture and furnishings for your child&#8217;s room can be a headache in itself, especially when the kids are in the pre-teen age group. As they start to &#8216;grow-up&#8217; they&#8217;ll soon want to escape childish colours, and constantly remind us “they&#8217;re not babies anymore!”</p>
<p>As we know, children grow up fast, too fast it seems sometimes, and decorating their room can often be a difficult task. We try to reflect their creativity, interests, and introduce a theme to their room. One of the best ways to do this is through their furniture. <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/" title="modern and contemporary furniture">UK Contemporary Furniture</a> have a selection of <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/novelty-chairs/" title="novelty chairs">fantastic novelty chairs</a> that are guaranteed to put the fun back into your kids bedroom. Plus, if all else fails, you can use them to sit down in and think about just what it is they want their bedroom to look like.</p>

Sometimes, so fast, that you might never have noticed an item had dropped out vougue and now is being pushed as the next big thing.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk about Chandeliers for a moment&#8230; Here&#8217;s a furniture lighting accessory that we normally envisage in stately home or the bigger spacious rooms for maximum effect.</p>
<p>However, according to Catherine Lowe, senior interior designer with Alt Breeding Schwarz, Chandeliers are the thing to have hanging from your kitchen ceiling illuminating the breakfast table.</p>
<p>Bedrooms and modern bathrooms would also benfit from having a Chandelier creatively lit the interior.<br />
&#8220;They add drama, elegance and romance to any space&#8221; says Lowe.</p>
<p>So, next time you&#8217;re out and about looking at the lightning accessories to compliment your <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/diningroom" title="view our dining room furniture selection">dining room furniture</a>, stop, and ask the salesperson to show you where the Chandeliers are kept or even better, go and hunt down the local antique shop.</p>
<p>Get a Chandelier in you&#8217;re life and start transforming that 2Up 2Down semi into your own personal Manor House.</p>
