Faux Flora Furniture

This Nature Inspired Leafy Green Ottoman Brings the Rain Forest to Your House

— May 2, 2014 — Special
This green ottoman is ideal if you're looking to introduce a nature or jungle theme to your home decor. The many hued leaf poof is inspired by nature and would make a fun addition to any living space.

The green ottoman is covered in faux (wool and nylon) leafs, making this piece of furniture look like a little shrubbery or plant. Lined with cotton and filled with polyester, this poof seating will be soft to sink into.

This item would be well suited in a living or family room, as well as in a nursery. It could be paired with a fun cream shag carpet as pictured, or with a nice hard wood floor or laminate for a continuation of the natural motif.
Trend Themes
1. Nature-inspired Decor - Increased demand for home decor that mimics the outdoors creates opportunities for innovative designers and manufacturers to produce furniture and decor pieces inspired by various natural themes.
2. Faux Material Products - The rising popularity of faux materials in furniture and decor production creates opportunities for designers and manufacturers to explore alternative material options that are sustainable and have a lower environmental impact.
3. Multifunctional Furniture - As homes become smaller and space is at a premium, the demand for multifunctional furniture increases, creating an opportunity for designers and manufacturers to create pieces that combine both form and function, such as ottomans that can double as storage space.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers can take advantage of the demand for nature-inspired decor by exploring new material options and design techniques to create unique, eco-friendly furniture with a unique theme inspired by nature.
2. Home Decor Retail - Home decor retailers can cater to the increasing demand for nature-inspired decor by curating a selection of unique, nature-inspired decor items from different designers and manufacturers, showcasing the latest trends in this space.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate nature-inspired decor and multifunctional furniture in their designs to create unique, functional living spaces that inspire and innovate, utilizing eco-friendly materials as well to promote sustainability.
