While some consumers are able mix and match furniture pieces with ease, others find it to be a challenge to pull together a unified home interior that accurately reflects their lifestyle needs and sense of style. Art Van Furniture recently introduced a new merchandising system that will help all kinds of consumers select furniture and decor pieces for the home with ease.
The system identifies six primary lifestyle collections—Casual, Urban, Farmhouse, Modern, Traditional and Mid-Century—that can be easily found by their color-coded tags. While some people will prefer to outfit a home with pieces from the same style, others will enjoy mixing and matching based on the pairings that Art Van Furniture suggests. For instance, Art Van Furniture has identified that its Modern pieces go well with Mid-Century and Urban styles, while Traditional best pairs with products from the Farmhouse and Casual categories.
