Of course you know what an apron is. It would be silly to assume you didn’t. How about furniture aprons? They’re so commonplace that you’ve seen them everywhere, even if you didn’t know what it was or paid much attention to it.
Traditionally made of the same wood as the furniture itself, modern designers have been experimenting with ways to infuse new ideas into an age-old concept.
This solid wood dining table, for example, features a stainless steel apron that would beautifully compliment a contemporary designed home.
Aprons can be found on virtually any piece of furniture that has legs, including dining tables, armoires, coffee tables, dressers and more.
Depending upon the style and construction period of the furniture, aprons can be smooth, flat panels or they can be ornately carved artistic elements that enhance the furniture’s appeal.
Now that furniture aprons have been refreshed in your frame of reference, imagine how odd a lot of the furniture in your home would look without them. Although they can seem insignificant, furniture aprons contribute a great deal to the structure and design of the bigger picture.
