You know what’s nice? When furniture is just retro enough or just quirky enough. Not so outlandish that it feels like it ought to be in a museum instead of in one’s home. Comfortable, perhaps? Maybe not — calling something comfortable can brand it as uncool or hokey. Good design belongs in every home and can be nice to use without being pedestrian.
