ABOUT ERIC COHLER
Eric Cohler is highly acclaimed for his ability to fuse classical and contemporary elements. Dubbed "The Mixmaster" by editors, Cohler's interior spaces display layers of unusual texture and color, and he is known for his carefully curated style.
"The colors feel luxe and unique yet livable – you could use them on a full suite of appliances (from ranges to hoods to refrigerators) or on one statement piece."
His work appears in almost every interior publication including – Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful and Veranda. Most recently Cohler’s design for a Gramercy Park triplex was featured in the February 2016 issue of Architectural Digest.
"I'm a believer in the handcrafted. The fact that BlueStar appliances are not mass produced give them an artisan appeal; as a designer I have carte blanche. The ability to customize to each client’s personal style and taste is unusual – and extraordinary – in this category"
Tips and Furnishing basics for your Airbnb
Let’s face it, running a rental property is a great source of income, but choosing how to furnish it can cause some anxiety. Cole’s is now furnishing Air B&B’s with a Free design consultation and discounts on all furniture. Here are some basic tips to help you get a start on furnishing your vacation rental. Rentals that feel like home are more likely to be booked!

Living Room
This is one of the most important rooms in the house. It’s not only because that’s where your guests will spend most of their time. First impressions matter. The living room is the first space your guests sees when they open the door. You will need to keep in mind the size of your space when purchasing furniture. You need the essentials, but less furniture also creates a roomier feel.
Living Room Items:
Couch: Choose one that will fit in your space without taking up the entire room. Slipcovers are a great investment. Understand that rental units have more wear and tear than if you were to live there yourself. If you want an extra sleeping space, a pull out sofa bed is often a great idea as it will allow you to bump up your nightly rate. Choose neutral colors. Beige, tan, or gray will not age as quickly. Accent it with pillows to add colors that are more replaceable.
Armchairs can be a great addition.
Add end tables, coffee tables, consoles.
Introducing our new line of Occasional Furniture:
Stop by Lincoln Avenue Showroom. Available to shop online coming soon!
Bedrooms:
The bedrooms in your property are what keep people coming back. Comfortable beds can make all the difference, especially after long travel days.
Kitchen
One of the big reasons people choose a vacation rental property over a hotel is that you get a full kitchen. Make sure your appliances work well! We have many great packages to choose from. https://www.shopcoles.com/sale-appliances
Dining
There are a couple of ways to go with this. If you have space, purchase a good quality dining room table that seats at least four and is easy to wipe down. See our Riverside Dining sets.
If you have a breakfast bar or kitchen island, stools are great for pictures and a nice addition to the description. It is always enjoyable at the bar.
If your property has a patio or yard, it is well worth the investment to get a grill. We carry Coyote Outdoor.
Cole’s will help you pick out the furniture for your rental property and make it feel like home. We will offer you free design consultation and Airbnb discounted rate. Shop our Floor Models.

Introducing Cased Goods and Occasional Furniture by Rowe Furniture
We’re so thrilled to finally be able to introduce you to our brand new line of Rowe case goods, featuring styles that range from glamorous to casually modern, coastally inspired, and more.
“The new case goods line was a nice surprise! The Dune Desk seemed to be the crowd favorite [at market]. We came home super excited to share the line with our staff and clients!”
Eclectic inspiration. Stylish simplicity. Practical beauty. A truly unique collection that combines beautifully with our upholstered pieces to create spaces that are up-to-the-moment in current trends, yet also unlike any seen anywhere else. As with our upholstered occasional furniture in the Rowe and Robin Bruce lines, our occasional furnishings cater to a multitude of styles and price points. These new occasional offerings include accent tables, storage options such as credenzas and airy etageres, and (the showstopper piece at our most recent High Point Market!), a shapely oak desk with midcentury-inspired curves. Metal, stone, mirror and fine woods combine to create complementary pieces that are perfectly designed for living, storytelling, and inspiration. Our new line is intended to add depth and flexibility to our design story–allowing you to work with Rowe in a whole new way!
“The quality of construction is excellent and Rowe is really paying attention to current design trends and styles.”
From our partners at Rowe Fine Furniture and Robin Bruce:
Never stand still: that’s our motto. This new direction represents a truly bold step for the innovators and dreamers at Rowe Furniture, as we continue to grow as a design resource while always offering the value and distinctive style that is synonymous with our name. We have decided to “break the mold” of typical, collection-based case goods by offering eclectic occasionals that are flexible enough to work with all our pieces, allowing you to create your custom style! While most furniture companies begin with a background in case goods, we spent years creating a broad base of popular upholstered frame styles, then developed our case goods to complement and enhance our existing lines. Our aim is not to decorate for the masses, but to offer tools for consumers and designers to make buying effortless and create beautiful spaces that speak to their individuality. Our team feels the utmost excitement and pride, having invested so much of our time, efforts and ourselves in creating this new line. We look forward to sharing this labor of love with you, our Rowe customers!
Clear the Clutter for Spring by Thermador Home Appliances
Springtime gatherings in my home begin with a clutter-free kitchen – leaving more space for decorative food displays and beautiful floral accents. One of my favorite parts of the spring season is finding creative new ways to organize my kitchen.
Spice it Up
An idea from Bliss Haus has truly transformed my spice and seasoning storage. Like most, I kept my spices in a high cabinet which was hard to reach and the bottles inside were always fighting for space. Bliss Haus is a company focused on creating ecologically-conscious living in an irresistibly beautiful way. They suggest placing lid-labeled spice bottles in a drawer providing easy access to seasonings while cooking or entertaining.
Refrigerator Refresh
With a Thermador Refrigeration column, organization is simple and striking. The delicate produce bins within the refrigeration unit provide ample storage space for my ingredients and they are easily removable so I can carry them to my counter while preparing a dish. The customizable configuration of bins and shelves offer the ultimate flexibility when I’m organizing fresh foods, jars, or party trays.
Color Coordination
Because I love to entertain and prepare meals for guests, I have an abundance of cookbooks in drawers, cabinets, or on my counters. Every year I like to rearrange how I style them to provide a fresh look, whether that be pages facing out, placed upright on open shelving, or stacked and topped with curated home goods and plants. This year, I am inspired to organize them in an ombré color blocking display. This bright touch of color grabs the attention of guests and brightens a room.
Creative Countertops
Countertops and shelving are the basis to thoughtfully designed displays, providing an exquisite way to store your cooking or baking ingredients for all to see. I love to use glass jars for storing ingredients as they’re beautiful and functional and can be displayed on open shelves, lined on countertops, or stacked in exposed pantries. I love that I can find exactly what I need while preparing a complicated dish for guests.
The Perfect Pair
Organization and function are the perfect pair, which is why I love hanging pots, pans, cutting boards, and cooking utensils in my kitchen. Dangling important cooking tools on a nearby wall makes them easy-to-access while creating a difficult dish, plus it looks clean and beautiful. I love my Downdraft Ventilation for the same reason—it’s out of sight while not in use, and offers five discharge connections so you’re not limited by the space of your kitchen design.
Spring fever?! These are great organization “clear the clutter” tips from our partners at Thermador.
