Attractive Website Design Topically Featuring Household Items

They are all around us a lot of the time – clocks, tables, chairs, kitchen cupboards, beds, carpets – and the list goes on and on. Household items are very often seen in interior design website design, and some sites use time of day (ie – bright, sunny morning), or unusual angles to showcase their work to the very best effect.

Here we have collected a selection of sites that use stunning images of household items in their website design. Most of these are interior design agencies or furniture manufacturers and/or vendors, but there are a few that are not.
