Many antique furniture and period reproductions from the colonial and post-colonial period that you can find today feature these forms, and now, newer pieces are sporting these ball shapes, too, with retailers selling everything from sofas and ottomans to cabinets and wardrobes with ball feet. The Citizenry’s latest collection featured ball feet on several styles of accent chairs, and even mass retailers like T.J. Maxx and Target are getting in on the shape, particularly with more transitional and traditional offerings, like this Threshold designed with Studio McGee bench. While simple in form, these flourishes add a certain warmth to living rooms in particular — especially if you’re big on classic design or looking to decorate with soft, rounded edges.
