MODERN FURNITURE TRENDS

Page 2: Furniture jamaica furniture trends 2011

Furniture today, like most of things we purchase, often reflects a lifestyle.

Just like our taste in the clothing we wear or the type of car we prefer, our furniture should be seen as a reflection of our personalities and an extension of our (LIFE)style.

One of the strongest trends noticed at the Milan 2011 Furniture Fair is in the

choice of colours.

Increased use of bright colors in everything from fabrics, furniture and finishing.

Whether it is molded plastic furniture, lacquered wood or metal finish, vibrant colors are preferred. Use of bright colors such as red, yellow and orange may be the natural reaction to dispel the dullness of recession. Living room furniture including sofa was presented in many shades of colors including red, violet and yellow.
