Bidsquare Picks: Seeking Out Styles

Having a concrete idea of ones likes and dislikes can seem the most practical approach when seeking out new home accessories and furnishings. Its never been easier to filter, navigate and click straight toward your taste - sometimes the internet even appears to find more options for you (a creepy yet convenient happenstance). However, what if your usual patterns are causing you to overlook styles you didn't yet know you'd love? 

In this week's Bidsquare Picks, we urge you to disrupt your search data and crisscross around our upcoming catalogs. When browsing for antiques and vintage designs, you don't have to feel held down to one style, embrace the unplanned allure of online auctions!
