Top 55 Furniture Trends in April

From Yoga-Accommodating Chairs to Modular Dining Tables

— April 23, 2016 — Art & Design
These April 2016 furniture trends range from yoga-accommodating chairs to modular dining tables that are an ideal solution for those with limited interior space. In addition to space-saving dining room, office and kitchen solutions, other standouts include dual-purpose desk and shelving designs that will elevate the experience of those working from home.

Standouts include wall-mounted work stations that are designed for maximum storage and convenience along with color swatch shelves that are aesthetically pleasing while making home organization an easy feat.

Additional April 2016 furniture trends include curved wall separators and shipping container cabinets. While the first example transforms open-concept interior spaces into divided and private areas, the latter is a testament to sustainable design and finds new use for an item that would otherwise be discarded.
