FASHION STYLE

A world of harmony and sought-after solutions characterized by a mix of essential designs confirming the passion for elegance that is now seen as a key feature of this company.

NATURE & TRADITION…

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 00:27:02 +0000

A new world enters the home, sofas and furnishings that focus on the natural for a sober, traditional flavor. Culture, tradition and quality are the result of the synergy between the beautiful and the well-made. Leather and natural tan finishes, extra-thick leathers, naturally imperfect grains. The focus is on hand-made, traditional details, such as those featured in our sofas, including visible stitching to make them truly unique. New suggestions for a sensorial reassessment and a strong desire to connect with nature, also thanks to new grains, flamed wood, and many decorative items. There is a trend towards the search for emotion through warm, welcoming colors such as the burnt and warm hues seen in the nuances of the earth.

It’s How You Live…

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 23:33:45 +0000

Space evolves, just as we do. Even more so, when the space in questions is our home. Our homes change and adapt continually to meet new tastes, perspectives, moods, and lifestyles. Your home is a reflection of you.

Today, more than ever before, our homes have become “our places”, the place you happily return to recover your true spirit. Values like beauty, long-lasting quality that refuses to fade with time, harmony of objects that surround us, become ever more important.

We have named all this “personal living”, an evolved idea of a space where every detail reflects our way of being and living. This is what inspires our creation: sofas, armchairs and furnishing items to be personalized and matched to your taste, but always in perfect harmony.

We have designed our style to make it yours.

Integrity of Polyester

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:30:03 +0000

Most exclusive furniture today looks elegant when you see it displayed in the furniture showroom. But will that furniture have that same elegant look five years from now in the home……. or ten?

All of us at Furnitalia feel it should and in order to achieve this we use only a premium polyester finish on all surfaces. This exclusive finish will enhance and protect your investment for years to come. Many of the xciting characteristics of this type of finish are as follows:

Finish Durability:
A polyester finish is much more resilient than a plain lacquer application. It will be more stain resistant to alcohol and water and more resistant to scratching and fading.

Finish Brilliance:
A polyester finish has much more dept, clarity and luster than a plain lacquer application. This glasslike finish is most evident when applied to exotic wood veneers.

Finish Cleaning:
For routine care of the polyester finish, wipe with a clean damp microfiber cloth. The use of microfiber cloths will prevent scratching. For more thorough cleaning, a household glass cleaner can be used. Preferably one that does not contain ammonia.

Finish Repair:
Surface scratches can be removed by using a mild polishing compound. Deeper scratches or more serious damage to the finish can also be repaired by the proper technician.

By using a polyester finish what results is furniture that takes longer to produce but is also uncompromising in its finish and design.

These were just four of the main reasons that the furniture provided by Furnitalia will maintain its new showroom feel as time goes on.

Contemporary furniture is growing in popularity as homeowners and decorators want to create a modern appearance. Contemporary furniture can be identified by its sleek designs, clean lines and abstract appearance.

Determine the Current Style of Your Home

Cutting edge designs of contemporary furniture can be used to create a style that will become the envy of everyone in your social group.

Use a Complimentary Texture Pallet
Using a pallet of textures allows for the decorator to give a room depth, using nothing more than just the fabrics. Plush fabrics like velvet can be combined with leather to create a contemporary look. Many furniture pieces use a combination of two varying fabrics and can be found in Houston contemporary furniture stores. These fabrics are often combined with contemporary materials such as steel, chrome and metal with traditional wood pieces.

Take Measurements and Plan the Room
Planning the room should be completed with careful consideration of the sizes of the room. Taking a measuring tape to the store to measure the furniture will ensure that the contemporary furniture will fit within the room. Plan which pieces of furniture will be used within the room, in which areas to create a layout that can custom created to create a contemporary appearance.
