RESTORATION HARDWARE HISTORY
Clandestine among the densely redwood forests of Eureka, California, Restoration Hardware got its start in founder Stephen Gordon’s historic Queen Ann home. Determined to locate antique-looking hardware for his beloved abode, Gordon began collecting catalogs from hardware vendors around the country. In 1980, Gordon rented a 300-square foot Victorian storefront in downtown Eureka, investing a few thousand dollars into purchasing hardware samples.
Thanks to Gordon’s business savvy and determination (he worked at Restoration during the day and moonlighted as a bartender), Restoration Hardware was turning a profit within a few years, with secondary stores in Mendocino, Newport Beach, and Marin. In 1994, Restoration Hardware expanded again, this time introducing its own furniture line. The line quickly developed Restoration Hardware’s signature look—oversized and deceptively minimalist furniture, awash in cool Cali hues.
Today the Restoration Hardware brand includes Restoration Hardware Baby & Child, Restoration Hardware Teen, RH Modern, and a number of Restoration Hardware outlets.
RESTORATION HARDWARE IN THE LIVING ROOM
A Restoration Hardware couch is made for taking center stage in a living room. Deep seats and blocky forms make Restoration Hardware sectionals and sofas perfect for seating guests, lounging or napping. Look for sofas covered in polished, but laid-back fabrics like airy linens or crushed velvets for a luxe look, or try a Restoration Hardware leather sofa. A Restoration Hardware chesterfield is a classic design that’s at its best when decked out in broken-in leather—opt for black or brown leather for an especially masculine look. Another favored RH furniture design is the Restoration Hardware Cloud Sofa. Featuring a chunky track arm, the Cloud Sofa is an unpretentious take on the designer sofa. Its ample size beckons to families looking for a place to host game nights or cuddly movie-thons. Finish off your living room with a Restoration Hardware coffee table. Grand proportions make RH coffee tables esteemed matches for the oversized sofas—and leave plenty of room for those game boards and snacks.
RESTORATION HARDWARE IN THE MASTER SUITE
Make your master suite a sanctuary with a Restoration Hardware bed. Divinely proportioned, Restoration Hardware beds take inspiration from around the globe—Sweden, France, India—trading in ornate flourishes for linen upholsteries and gray weathered woods. Finish off the five-star hotel experience with Restoration Hardware bedding and an artful Restoration Hardware rug underfoot. To carry the look into the master bath, use a Restoration Hardware bathroom vanity topped with a Restoration Hardware mirror. Capped in wood, glass, metal, zinc, or gilt, Restoration Hardware mirrors take cues from bygone eras, making them perfect for imbuing personality in a space. Want even more? For a truly awe-inspiring moment, try hanging a Restoration Hardware chandelier over a free-standing tub. Stunning without ever resorting to excessive, Restoration Hardware chandeliers range from altar chandeliers to antique-inspired birdcage chandeliers, ensuring you’ll find your flight of fancy.
RESTORATION HARDWARE IN THE OFFICE
Flaunting surface spaces wider than most drafting tables, Restoration Hardware desks range from executive desks to full-bodied writing desks. Make the most of the space offered up by your desk by adding a Restoration Hardware lamp (or a Restoration Hardware floor lamp if you’d rather keep all that precious square footage for yourself). Look for RH lighting rendered in a timeless finish like brass, brushed chrome, bronzed nickel, or iron, and when it comes to the shade, opt for a simple drum shade, or try something slightly more out of the ordinary—like a standing candelabra encased in an openwork orb. Don’t have an office? Don’t fret. Restoration Hardware dining tables are inspired for doubling as an off-hours desk. Grandly scaled and not the least bit fussy, Restoration Hardware dining tables are workhorses (albeit show horses too), finished in weathered woods, rustic metallic metals, and durable stones. Thanks to their feed-a-crowd proportions they’re perfect for spreading out with your work.
