These October 2016 furniture trends range from geometric pouf collections to rustic stone seating that doubles as art when displayed within one's home. While examples like the 'Geo Poufs and Cushions' home decor range -- a line of portable seats with an angular aesthetic -- make individualistic decorating an easy feat, others like 'Mu Chairs' fuse simple style with sustainable design practices.
Other October 2016 furniture examples to take note of include rocking work seats and customizable wall shelving units that are both designed to make a bold impact while adhering to the tight square footage of compact spaces. These particular examples are ideal for those living in urban housing units like condos that call for a creative and clever use of limited space.
