Long Legs are Back In!
Exposed furniture legs are finally getting the credit they’re due as the space-creating, versatile components they are. They can change the feel and time period of a piece like that, from retro to downright old fashioned to futuristic. Buzzfeed reckons you should be DIY-ing it, but we think we can top that with furniture that comes already legged to save you the hassle. So here are our top ten products with great legs.
10. Parisot Berry 4 door wardrobe
A grand piece to be first on our list, and despite its solid, curving feet supporting its sturdy frame, the Berry wardrobe ranks low because it fails to give the illusion of extra space (although this may not be a problem seeing as it’s grandeur isn’t something you want to be detracting from.)

9. Parisot Armonia double bed
Another classy piece of furniture with an antique feel. We love the stylish curves that draw your eye to the legs of the bed, but yet again we have no illusion of space, as the rich, dark colour and solid, chunky frame are too busy hogging the limelight.

8. Parisot Swen bedside stand
This is more like it. The Swen bedside stand is both eye-catching and has a pyramid of space perfect for a few stacked books or just to let a breeze through. The chunky geometry gives the stand a modern twist, although a little too chunky to rank much higher on this list.

7. Parisot Alix queen size bed
What’s better for adding space than, well, space? The pushed-back stand makes the Alix bed look like it’s floating from the right angle, but the one thing this chic structure is missing is, to put it bluntly, more than one leg.

6. Parisot Liz double bed
The Liz bed really draws attention to its long legs. It’s the simplicity that really highlights the sleek slanted legs that raise the bed by a considerable amount, giving it a light and airy feel.

5. Parisot Marine square coffee table
The table legs on the Marine coffee table are really quite unique to the set. The way they support two surfaces really makes it look both spacious and practical, and the curved corners add a dash of retro.

4. Parisot Elise coffee table
Elegant and quaint, the Elise coffee table captures everything the late 1800s got right about décor and minimalized it into a gorgeous shelf on four tasteful legs. What else is there to say?

3. Parisot Rebelle chest of 4 drawers
Although aimed at teenagers, paired with the right colour scheme the Rebelle chest of drawers can bring a modern touch about with its sleek and sharp legs supporting a subtly decorated set of shelves. The Rebelle set looks stunning together, but this piece stands out as the most adaptable as you can see it in any room containing a dash of pink.

2. Parisot Swen chest of 4 drawers
Stylish 50s asymmetry has never looked better on top of these sophisticated slanted gams. It’s hard to not love the elongated look of these flashy drawers when raised up by these sleek legs.

1. Parisot Figaro free standing bathroom cupboard
Finally, in our top spot we have the Figaro bathroom cupboard; it’s a cupboard with the ability to sweep you off to the beach and the long, slightly curved legs just stretch it up to the skies while staying thin and compact. It’s the perfect storage space for any setting.
