Fine Furniture For The Evolution Of Your Home

Homeowners say that owning a home is part of their vision of the good life. More adaptable open-floor plans are leading to a loosening up of decorating inside the home. Consumers are also thinking more about outfitting their homes the way they dress themselves – by mixing and matching.

Family rooms are evolving into entertaining/media centers for the entire family. Multiple computer stations accommodate parents and kids, and are located in a family gathering area where Internet access can be monitored. The Wii phenomenon has families looking for new furniture solutions to make room for active play – for example, an ottoman with casters easily moves to create space for Wii tennis. Flat-screen TVs are driving the need for new furnishings for media storage and display, i.e. modular media pieces that work on a long, unbroken wall and are less sized to the inch because consumers know that electronic media components are ever-changing.

Ample storage is an absolute priority to stay organized and resist clutter while making use of hidden spaces and smart storage solutions are top of mind. Furnishings include inventive storage features such as a slide-out jewelry compartment hidden in a bedroom dresser mirror. And, more and more women want at-home offices that belong to exclusively to them in an open, bright and more decorative space that is equipped with extra electrical outlets and the Internet connections needed to manage work-home balance.

Consumers look for home furnishing and decorating options to make staying in feel good. They want to create warm, inviting family spaces. As a result, warm woods such as oak and walnut are gaining popularity. Neutral colors are a safe bet, but earth-inspired green, chocolate, wine and berry tones are also popular. Going out – to their own backyards – has become an extension of their entertaining area.
