Shift in the UK Furniture Market

For several reasons furniture selecting has become far more sophisticated over the last few years. One of the main reasons may have been the huge housing value boom, even at the lower end of the market house prices jumped adding tens of thousands to the value of a home.

This had a couple of effects one was that it made a lot of cash available either through re-financing or moving home and secondly when your home is now worth three times what you paid for it ten years ago it tends to focus your thoughts more firmly on its value and on its ethstetic appearance including interior design and furnishings.

A whole industry of TV design shows and glossy magazines and Sunday supplements has grown up to support this trend. Now people are far more concerned and aware of the latest in contemporary design, men in particular have stepped up to the challenge of being involved in a whole new design concept.

Casual selection of a sofa and love seat because they are more or less the colour they were looking for has been and gone. Modern furniture buyers are far more concerned with style and appearance but with a large emphasis on practicality. People now spend time contemplating a design theme for each room and this include furniture, an ok sofa is no longer acceptable, people are now actively searching out exactly the right piece to suit their concept.

Many of the modern designs that are popular now are in fact recreations and variations of much older styles such as the trend towards more refined versions of 50s and 60s sofa’s, combined with 30’s art deco-esque finishes such as lamps and side tables.

A considerable amount of contemporary furniture is more practical in terms of easy to clean surfaces such as glass, and chrome. This was a trend that started in the kitchen when people began to move from formica and tile towards stainless steel for its clean lines and ease of maintenance. A similar pattern has followed through the rest of the home with buyer looking for a clever mix of elegance and style combined with genuine practicality.

Whatever furniture choices people make they tend to be much better informed and more aware of exactly what they are looking for in terms of design concept and practicality. The husband tends now to be a willing partner in a genuine selection process that is leading very contemporary furniture designs such as natuzzi furniture.
