Furniture Moderately Priced

Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams
It's not hard to stop and dream about what that plush, amazing chair or those dark and lean end tables could do for your living room when you pass by Mitchell Gold's windows in the Back Bay. The company's philosophy is "Relaxed Design," and it offers a no-pressure, less-intimidating shopping experience with its well-edited selection of stylish, but not cheap or trendy, furniture. The new Dr. Pitt collection, for example, consists of seven pieces of slip-covered furniture that can be pushed together or placed separately, adapting to different purpoes in different spaces. Typical of the store's style, the lines are clean, and everything's comfortable and available in a variety of fabrics, colors and patterns. With an emphasis on customer care (for example, it recently introduced an in-home design service), Mitchell Gold is the place for reasonably priced furniture that'll add oomph to your living space.
