limited space. Smaller desks with chairs
that can slide all the way in to maximize
space are another example, as are wallhugging bookshelves and smaller side

Recliners and chairs with a smaller

And not all furniture will use new

room. Most prefer bright colors, either
paint or stain, on those pieces.
People continue demand for ‘green’
That fits in well with another major
trend – going green. Environmental consciousness has led many people to seek
furniture that uses resources wisely. They
also want furniture that doesn’t have
toxic finishes. The more environmentally
friendly the production process, the better it will sell to these types of furniture
buyers.
This is good news since the United
States in general uses far more environmentally friendly techniques than manufacturers in foreign countries.

the elegance they desire in indoor furniture.
In fact, they often seek styles that can
