Apartment dwellers are constantly challenged by space limitations. Trends indicate the cost of rent continues to rise at a fast pace these days. That means downsizing becomes a much more appealing option for some.

As renters are living in a smaller space, that doesn’t mean they have to forego comfort and style. A small apartment can still be impressive. To appeal to these types of renters, you simply need to understand the best way of decorating this type of space and protecting valuables. The following tips will help.

As we look forward to 2019, we are excited to unveil and announce the latest furniture collections from New Pacific Direct. Tailing on First Look style themes, here are our defining furniture outlooks for the season.

The rise in downscale living within the urban and suburban living spaces continues as socioeconomic and environmental factors such as rising energy cost, soaring rents and space scarcity persist.

Ideally practical and beneficial for all age groups, this lifestyle is mostly popular among Gen Z and Millennials, mainly individuals who have recently entered the workforce and Boomers, who are ready to downsize from their single-family homes. In this edition, I wanted to show some of our latest and ongoing collections that are suitable for apartment/condo living, without compromising on style or overspending your customers' budget.

In anticipation of the upcoming Summer Market in Las Vegas, we are excited to present the latest collection as a creative balance of lush, vibrant hues with playful patterns, to cool tech tones for the luxe traditionalists and the small-space modern dwellers.

Here are the themes that we're inspired by for this season:

What is Bauhaus, you inquire? some kind of avant-garde ideology or the 80's Goth band? The answer is both, but in this article, we'll focus more to the former.

Recall the tubular steel frame cantilevered chairs with cane seat and back? Or the classic black leather sofa with pipe structure framing? These were all designed by early Modernists (i.e. Breuer, Gray, Mies van der Rohe, Stam), who shaped the tone in today's Minimalist styles. 

Visualize the post-war era between the 40's and 60's when most Mid-Century experts indicate the beginning of this movement. That period is when the Boomers' lifestyle created a demand for suburban modern tract homes as they established their nuclear families.

The new post-war architecture brought about uncluttered geometric lines that emphasized simplicity and utility due to limited resources. The idea was to integrate an open space setting by using natural lighting (e.g. windows around the house) and an easy indoor/outdoor transition that's exemplified in Eichler-style homes. These distinct architectural elements inspired an innovative furniture style that's called Mid-Century (Mid-Mod, Modernism, Post-Modern).

If you're a retailer or an interior designer, the current housing shortage poses an opportunity to zero in on your target customers as various market research studies indicate that this housing boom is perpetuating and is hardly slowing down in many parts of the country. Consider these lifestyle shifts in terms of their furniture styles and buying preferences as they decide to upgrade or downgrade their living spaces' square footage.
