Sneak preview: Younger Furniture Avenue 62 furniture and upholstery

Kate - Updated: August 18, 2021

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

We recently featured an exclusive sneak peek of the new sketches of Avenue 62 line from Younger Furniture. Now, Meredith Younger Spell, President of Younger Furniture, has sent us these latest sneak-preview shots featuring some of the actual designs including some of the fun patterns and solid upholstery choices that will be available in stores later this year.

From what I’ve seen so far, there will be a fun array of color choices as well as some sensible neutrals and bold patterns — this line has a little something for everyone. The shade of green fabric on the Harris sofa above is very similar to the original upholstery on my retro side chairs. Green is a very versatile color — in reality, a neutral — and this color looks to blend avocado with chartreuse. This color — like the very design of the Harris — could bridge any interior channeling the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Great color!

I’m really digging that yellow chair — it is so nice to have some bright upholstery options. Neutral pieces are always a smart choice, but the right colorful piece of furniture can really add the wow factor to your space — and this yellow Trudy chair wows me — big time.

The matching Lewis chair is also lovely — it would be fun to get the couch in a neutral color and put a punchy pattern or bright color on the matching chair.

If you like smaller doses of fabric or color, the upholstery configuration on the Harper armless sofa shown above might be just the thing you’ve been searching for. Mostly neutral with contrasting funky patterned pillows — the perfect mix of mod and contemporary.

Meredith has promised to keep Pam and me updated with new pictures of the actual upholstered pieces from the Avenue 62 line as they become available — and we can’t wait to see what other fun patterns, textures and colors of upholstery fabric will be offered. We’ll keep you in the loop.

Until then, feel free to check out the Younger Furniture website.

    I’m loving the green sofa. Nearly enough to distract me from the fact that I’ve been wanting a turquoise one. That yellow chair is pretty great too.

    And replacement sofa has been identified! We currently have a Macy’s Corona, and I suspect that by next year, we’ll need to replace it. I’m excited that these appear to come in actual colors! 🙂

      My 2 year old Corona is also showing serious premature age. Younger furniture here I come! Well, if only I could FIND them remotely close to me! I have gone to their site and I have come up empty. So, Meredith, if you are reading this, where in Illinois can I buy your drop dead gorgeous furniture?

        Lynne, the search feature on the Younger site is a little strange. Try putting in a major city (Chicago?) instead of your actual location. When I put in my suburban MD zip code, for example, the site says there are no retailers near me. But if I type in “Baltimore, MD”, I get hits from Delaware to DC.

          Thanks Blue Jay, there are a few sources in Chicago. This is great furniture, but I too wouldn’t mind a price point, just so I know what to expect.

          Hahaha! I love that you commented as ‘BlueJay’s Wife’! That’s fantastic. And it made my morning. 😀

        Lynne, there are a few online retailers who sell Younger and were posted on the original post about this line that Pam did a few weeks back. We have a Younger sofa and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
