Furniture designers understand that Americans are still adapting to dramatic lifestyle changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Among those is the ongoing demand for spaces that prioritize relaxation and well-being. Skyrocketing housing prices mean families are not able to simply “trade up” or elect to move out of a stressful urban core to gain the function and comfort they crave … so manufacturers of residential furniture are infusing new designs with multi-function, blissful comfort and a host of nature-inspired and calm-inducing materials. As these new products enter the marketplace in coming months, consumers seeking to create the ultimate haven of relaxation will not be disappointed.
