When you're looking to spend big bucks on furniture, it's important to identify pieces that will last not just a year, but well into the next decade. Your best bet is to look for an investment that goes beyond the latest trends, and colors that you know you'll be able to live with today and five years down the road. A splurge can be so much fun, especially if it's on modern classics that may one day be your very own family heirlooms.
