Wholesale Furniture Styles

American furniture styles have evolved over the years to match a variety of personalities and tastes. Many furniture manufacturers concentrate on producing one or two furniture styles. Many wholesale furniture dealers have access to a variety of furniture styles.

In the 1920's & 1930's the Art Deco design movement was born. Materials like aluminum, lacquer, inlaid wood, stainless steel, sharkskin and zebra skin were used to create the elegant, functional and ultra modern furniture of the times. The use of zigzagged, geometric and jumbled shapes are still used in the Art Deco furniture designed today.

Arts & Craft furniture embraces the true essence of the materials used to craft the furniture. Rustic surfaces, repeating designs with vertical and elongated forms enhanced the natural beauty of the materials. Rich woods and simplistic yet well crafted designs are the foundation for this furniture style. Mission furniture is one of sub sets of Arts & Crafts Furniture.

The sinuous, elongated curvy lines of Art Nouveau furniture give the furniture both a sense of height and vertical beauty. Exotic woods, iridescent glass, silver and semi-precious stones are used to create images of flowers, seedpods, leaves, and long flowing hair in the design of the furniture.

Chippendale furniture is often considered an elaborate progression of the Queen Anne furniture style. Cabriole legs, ball-and-claw foot, and broken pediment scroll top on tall case pieces are a defining element to this style of furniture.

These four furniture styles are a small sample of what wholesale furniture has to offer. When selecting a furniture style consider the needs and wants of your customer base. Different styles lend themselves to different uses and tastes.
