For a transitional look with an edgy streak, check out the new Bradley Hughes showroom. The Atlanta-based company offers large, plush sofas that still feel sleek, wing chairs stripped of their grandma-ness, and tables and mirrors with patina and polish. There is also an impressive selection of concrete sinks, countertops (which can work as table surfaces), and floor tiles in 19 colors. Merchandise Mart, 312-624-9997, bradley-hughes.com
