Why Italian Furniture is the Pinnacle of Luxury It's no surprise that when it comes to instruments of hedonism, the Italians lead by a mile. Any object or idea that has taken birth in Italy has always been one that has provided its admirers with a unique and strong taste of design and innovation. Let's take the concept of Italian furniture as an example. As a source of one of the most beautiful designs in the industry, Italy uses their ingenuity and tact to provide exquisite style. But is that truly the only reason why Italy stands at the forefront for luxury furnishings? To answer that, we at ESF (European Style Furniture) look deep into the history and numerous reasons why Italian furniture is so loved. History of Italian Design Italian furniture designs have been synonymous with luxury since the early mid-1900s. Taking their inspiration from French art deco styles in the beginning, Italian furniture designers began incorporating aspects of industrialization to produce minimalist and modern styles after WWII. As well introducing the Rationalism movement in their post-modern designs, Italian designers gained more ground in the industry by involving Avant-garde designs during the 1960s and 1970s to acquire more unique designs that offered an artistic look in home settings. Around this time, the fashion industry of Italy started gaining more attention from the rest of the world. And soon, people from all over were seeking products that were stamped with a “Made in Italy” quote. Suddenly, acquiring furniture, clothes and automobiles started transferring as a status symbol among the rich and famous. In the modern age, Italian contemporary furniture became more of a practical style of taste, one which spoke of history, prestige and luxury. Why Italian Style is Iconic Modernity Italian designers created art by incorporating minimalism in their furniture styles. By using clear lines and simpler geometric patterns, Italian furniture adds a minimalist touch that is less likely to clash with any other item in a person's home. The idea behind Italian furniture is that the design has to look simple. With trim details, aesthetically appealing color combinations and a mixture of materials, most products that are made offer a certain touch of vitality to the piece. Functionality Many Italian fashion designers state that the otherwise minimalist and simple forms of Italian furniture are so, because they promise multi-functionality through their design. The work and passion that goes into each style of Italian furniture allows the homeowner to add their own style, accessories and colors to the whole look, making it more personalized. Inspiration through Art and Culture Italy has always been a country that uses its surroundings to express their love for arts and culture. Because Italians were naturally exposed to so much natural beauty throughout their lives, they used their resources to offer an aesthetic to those who wanted to experience the same beauty in their surroundings. Through the many designers who are connected with our company, ESF also offers beautiful Italian furniture to all vendors who want to sell gorgeous luxury furniture. If you're as inspired by Italian design, contact us today, and stock your store with the very best wholesale furniture that Italian designers have to offer. When approaching a wholesale supplier for your furniture business, it is important that you have proper information about their distribution processes and how their supply will benefit your trade. Companies such as ESF offer comprehensive services to clients. However, for those who are new to the furniture business, there are several questions they should ask in order to determine expectations from their services. What Questions Should You Ask Yourself and Your Supplier? · Does Their Website Offer Exact Product Images and Descriptions? Websites that offer details about the products they are selling can cut back on the time you would have spent researching the stock. Many companies, including ESF, provide disclaimers about the colors of their stock. The shades can be different than what it appears digitally. Such information is an indicator that the company will offer professional services. · Do they Offer Shipping or Shipping Assistance? Let's take the services provided by ESF as an example. ESF offers home deliveries and store drop offs for all business in the New York tri-state area because our warehouse is situated in this location. However, for clients who maintain their businesses in other parts of the U.S. or in Canada, we offer assistance in finding trucking services that would ship the stock. · Do they Offer Proactive Monitoring and Replacement Services? Many companies that offer wholesale stock to different vendors and retail stores do not offer replacement services since they have limited products. However, if you want a long-term wholesale supplier, ask them if they offer replacement parts and repair services. We at ESF offer such services on all our merchandise. Although before every shipping, our professional Quality Control Team checks through the whole stock to make sure that nothing is amiss. · Do They Respond Quickly to Market Trends and Changes? Never choose a supplier that isn't up-to-date with the evolving market conditions and trends. Companies that deal with trends and fashion changes have to stay on top to make sure that their clients get the best stocks for their store. At ESF, we offer new arrivals in a completely different section so that clients can get the merchandise earlier than their competitors. However, we also offer older products in a separate Clearance section for those who need to re-stock on older items. You depend on your wholesaler to provide you with the best for your business. So keep these questions in mind when you start your search. If you want to stock your store, contact us today to inquire about our European furniture. Companies such as ESF (European Style Furniture) distribute stocks to businesses all over USA and Canada. As such, it is important that we manage our inventory in a compatible way so that our clients receive their products in due time. Inventory management for wholesale furniture consists of numerous factors that we practice to make sure that our planned distribution maintains its course of supply, production and stock replenishment. What Does Inventory Management Entail? Inventory management, in case of wholesale distribution, specifies the form and profit of the stocked goods. The process mostly takes place within the location or multiple locations where the regular or planned supply of stock and materials go through. Scope of Inventory Management Gains from inventory management include optimal levels in stock and a greater chance for handling any changes in business that the company may need to respond to. The on-going process of inventory management includes; · Managing carrying costs of inventory · Inventory visibility · Space availability for new stock · Physical inventory · Forecasting future inventory price · Inventory evaluation · Inventory inspection · Replenishment · Quality management · Replacement of damaged goods · Asset management Best Practices in Inventory Management for Furniture Retailers 1. Stocking Products in Pieces Many companies like ESF store their products in parts which can later be assembled if a client means to purchase the item for their store. Like many furniture pieces, these items are wrapped in flat packaging so as to reduce the cover space in our warehouses. This in turn, lessens the cost of transportation and shipping to the stores. 2. Adopting a Real-Time Stock Monitoring System It pays to be wary of situations where the stock may be missing. Investing in the latest monitoring technology can allow you to keep track of all stock details and order more if a furniture part or accessory falls short. Many companies use software that allows us to access and sync our inventory easily and alert us of any new stock requirements that may be needed. 3. Building Relationships with Partners and Manufacturers The key point for any successful business is to maintain a sustainable relationship with the supply manufacturers as well as their clients. By doing so and maintaining a long term contract with the business, we are able to negotiate prices and bring in only the stock that is required with complete focus on material and quality. Also, by building such a connection, we are also able to receive our stock in time. To Sum it up By practicing these factors and maintaining an astute focus on our management, ESF (European Style Furniture) is able to provide quality European style furniture for businesses that find our stocks to be better suited to their needs. Being in the furniture business is just about the safest business venture you can partake in. As a company that offers wholesale furniture to all vendors and retail stores in the U.S. as well as Canada, we at ESF Wholesale Furniture have a lot of experience on what makes and breaks a furniture business. Here are some significant factors that can affect the success of your store. What Do You Need to Start a Furniture Business 1. A Niche Decide specifically the type of furniture you want to sell. Identify your target market and research whether the style you're looking for will garner attention from the masses. For instance, if you decide on Italian contemporary furniture, check whether the area in which you are situated needs a source for such a style. 2. Proper Sized Store Find a store that properly accommodates your business, keeping in mind that the more spacious store you seek, the more rent you will have to provide. However, don't simply buy a small store just so you can stuff it with your products. A comfortable looking establishment allows customers to feel welcome and not overwhelmed. 3. Building and Location The appeal of your building and location can help bring in customers. For instance, if you are renting a new business, you will need to make sure that the exterior looks fresh and clean. As for location, try to locate an area where you will most likely be seen. Highly traffic areas can easily determine the popularity of your store. However, if you choose to rent or buy a store which is hidden from mass view, you will need to get some funds for marketing and advertising. 4. Determine Labor You will obviously need a workforce to keep up with the constant demands in business such as selling, organizing and maintaining the shipping process. Determining the number of employees for your store will give you the chance to divide the profit so that you can invest a substantial sum on quality furniture. 5. Source Cheap quality equals to a bad reputation. If you buy furniture from a source that offers cheap furniture, you may end up regretting your decision. Companies such as ESF Wholesale Furniture that enjoy exclusive rights of distribution from some of the best European furniture manufacturers are the only sources that can provide you with enough quality furniture to help you maintain your reputation as a trusted furniture store. Maintaining a furniture retail business is hard work. But with these tips and a little help from ESF Wholesale Furniture, we hope that we are able to help you in starting a business that will remain a success for the years to come. Furniture business is a major attraction to first-time business folk because of the high profit margins. And if you think about it, a furniture retail store is one of the biggest, most lucrative businesses out there. But then why is it that all of us have seen a furniture store pop up in our neighborhoods, at one time of another, and then promptly proceed to closing down a few months down the line? While there is no single formula to the success of a business store, some things are common among successful furniture sellers who manage to stand the test of time. As experts in wholesale furniture, we have worked with thousands of furniture sellers across USA and Canada and contributed to their success and longevity. Here's what we suggest all new furniture sellers should focus on: Learn More about the Market Find out what your customers need from high quality wholesale furniture? What are their design and style aspirations? Attract their attention and talk to them where they are present. Advertise in ways others don't usually think of, i.e. giving seminars, working with community centers, handing out fliers about European style furniture, etc. These tactics have worked for many of our wholesale furniture buyers in the past. Set Up Shop Whether you are selling online, in store or attacking the market on both fronts, make sure that your furniture catalogue is perfectly visible in the best possible light. Everything else takes backseat. The furniture must be arranged beautifully and the store/website must be arranged to make browsing easier. The ordering/buying process should be as quick and painless as possible as well. Carry Quality Wholesale Furniture There is no doubt that high quality furniture is what attracts buyers, while your sales skills help retain buyers, making them customers for life. Your advertising, selling and social skills might be on point, but if prospective buyers don't like what they see in your catalogue, then nothing can save the furniture store. So invest in high quality furniture and furnishings for your store, and build a reputation for providing the absolute best money can buy. Continuously update your collection depending on the time of the year and customers tastes. Offer them variety and they'll keep coming back for more!

As wholesale furniture suppliers for thousands of retail entrepreneurs, we are the biggest source of high quality European furniture products and their wholesale supplier of choice. Manage Inventory to Ensure Better Client Satisfaction The back of the showroom floor, i.e. the warehouse, is where all the action happens. While it is true that this is where the inventory is stored, the last thing a competent furniture reseller might want to do is spend hours in there trying to hunt down a particular product because a customer suddenly asked for multiple pieces! Select one good method of inventory management and stick to it. Make sure your products at the backend are always organized, so that sales are always lightning fast. Also, isn't it just nice to know where to find something when you need it? Group Your Products Together Place them by style, design, type, room etc. so you can get straight to the section where you know they'll be. For example, if you are looking for table lamps, you know if you have found one, you have found them all! Always keep the Aisles Clear Cluttered warehouses really don't serve any purpose, and can even make it more difficult to find products when you need them. Make sure that the aisles are clean and spacious enough for multiple staff members to walk through. This will help you make sales faster and ensure better staff satisfaction as well. Mark Products with Pictures When you buy wholesale furniture from us, you can clearly see what you'll be buying with beautiful detailed images of each item available on our website. Print them out and stick them on the box when the furniture gets to you.

You will have to research the buyers in your location, their furniture needs, the sizes of their homes and family sizes, etc. Then you will have to make the actual selection, ensuring that your store can cater to their furniture needs. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind: Make Sure You Carry Basic Furniture for Every Room of the House Each family has specific furniture needs for every space in their house. Make sure you offer them viable alternatives: from affordable to extravagant; from contemporary to traditional for every room and let them decide the best options for themselves. They might want to hide the TV, or create a cozy reading nook and some great lighting options. Make sure your store can cater! Carry Complementary Pieces Your client may be a book collector and looking for an exquisite library, perhaps they need a TV cabinet, or maybe they want a TV cabinet in the bedroom. It's also a good idea to carry tableware that goes well with your kitchen and dining table furniture pieces. Make sure your buyers have access to complementary pieces that let them carry out their hobbies and activities! Never Compromise on Utility and Materials The furniture you select for your store must be made from the highest quality materials whether it's leather or fabric or wood. If you are catering to families, they will want durable products that can stand up to abuse by children, pets and guests, etc. On the other hand, if you know your clients are looking for high end furniture, they will be more than willing to pay for more delicate and better looking items. So pick between leather and chenille carefully, or better yet, carry one of both to ensure that all your clients have what they need right in your store. The Last Word Every piece of furniture in your store will not be the perfect fit for every prospective customer. So as soon as they walk in, it is important that you gauge their needs, understand their requirements and take them straight to the pieces that you know they'd like.

This is why it is important for you to choose the right type of furnishing, something to in line with your lifestyle. How to choose the right type of furnishing If you want to create an elegant, classy layout, we have 3 tips on how to choose the perfect living room furnishing style: 1. Choose the concept that best reflects your style The interiors of your home say a lot about you and the way you live. What this means is you need to choose a furnishing style in line with your tastes when it comes to furniture and decoration. Furniture in classic style or with a contemporary flavour? Arredoclassic Collections offer a shared sense of value, based on classic style canons, while the equally sophisticated, elegant Adora Collections move in a different style direction that is based more on contemporary designs. The choice is yours. 2. Choose your complementary items according to their finishes, textures and tones Among the determining factors in a choice of furnishings, we have finishes, textures and colour tones. Once you have found the style most in line with your tastes, you can select the complementary items for your living room, based on these elements. The consistency of velvet and satin, screen prints in contrasting colours, ivory, walnut finishes, cream shades, elm veneer, etc. … choose what appeals to you most. 3.

Creating an attractive design layout is key to attracting customers and influencing their buying behaviors. Here are some tips to make the most of your showroom design: Tell a story People shop at furniture showrooms to explore latest trends and seek inspiration. You can inspire shoppers by telling them a unique story about your business. Select a color and design theme for your showroom. For instance, if you're selling European style furniture, you can opt for a vintage design layout. Add antique chairs and tables to transport your customer back in time. Your showroom should give them a warm, inviting feel. Make customers walk the path Create the general layout of the showroom in a strategic manner. Majority of customers turn right as soon as they enter any store. Thus, your store should have a similar layout. In other words, as soon as a customer enters, they should be exploring furniture items and then heading towards the checkout.

Apart from increasing the chances of a customer making a purchase, this type of layout helps maintain the flow of traffic in the showroom. Focus on attention-grabbing furniture pieces Place the hottest selling items in strategic spots. For example, the end of the aisle or near the entrance. Putting them near the entrance will make attract buyers and make them visit your showroom. On the other hand, if they are at the end of the aisle, customers will have to browse the entire showroom.

When it comes to building customer loyalty, bigger space isn't always better. Increasing sales and satisfying your customers depends on how well you market your products. Displaying poor quality furnishings can lead to a decrease in sales but with the right furniture, you can climb the ladder of success and carve a market niche. Proper planning and arrangements can go a long way when it comes to creating the right atmosphere, look and appeal of your furniture shop. With proper planning, interior and décor, small spaces can be made to appear spacious. This is where European furniture comes in. With its intricate designs, blended with a modern and traditional look, European furniture will give a homely but elegant appearance to your shop. In addition to this, it will create the illusion of a larger space without making your shop look overcrowded. Where to Begin It can be difficult planning a proper setting for your European furnishings but that does not mean it's difficult. With the right arrangements, you can make your shop appear larger and properly display your collection. Here are a few steps you can take: Keep it Simple Depending on the type of European furniture you're displaying, it is wise not to display two collections with each other. If you're displaying Spanish sofas, focus solely on them. Do not mix them with Italian sofa sets or any other style of Spanish sofas. If the collection you are displaying is traditional, focus on traditional fittings and not incorporate anything contemporary into the exhibit. Not only will that highlight two opposite styles, unless you have a collection that blends modern with traditional, your display will stand out negatively. Hidden Storage Surprise your customers with hidden storage. Not only does this make room in your shop, displaying furniture with hidden storage helps you cater to larger families. You can display dressers instead of side tables to encourage the idea of storage. Add Plants to Fill Up Spaces While keeping furnishings to a minimum, remember not to add small decoration pieces that can distract the customer and take the spotlight away from the display. Furthermore, avoid adding small furnishings because that will make the room look crowded. Plants help keep the customer focused on what's important: the exhibit. Adding plants will make the surroundings look more natural and add a homely feeling. Furthermore, it will help the furnishings blend into a more natural environment, without making everything look overdone.

Spanish furniture has carved a name for itself around the world because of its use of high quality wood for its furnishings. Known for its sofa-beds and its utilization of traditional and contemporary designs, it's become a consumer favorite for several reasons. Because of its impeccable woodwork and craftsmanship, displaying Spanish furnishings can help you boost sales and build strong consumer loyalty. If you are planning to invest in Spanish sofa beds, it can be difficult not knowing where to start. Since these are not ordinary collections, it can be hard finding the right way to display and highlight the features. However, it is not impossible. Here are a few things you can do to properly display your Spanish furniture collection: Install Proper Lighting Since Spanish furnishings are known for their vibrant colors and intricate structures, it's important to highlight all these features. Don't let your collection blend into the interior of the room. Instead, make sure you have proper lighting; if possible, make sure to place the lightings near the sofa sets. This will help highlight its prominent features. Keep it Simple, Not Crowded The last thing you want is to distract your customers away from the main display. By getting rid of any clutter and adding dressers, you will not only encourage storage space ideas, you will help your customers keep their eye on the prize. Another thing to remember is to not display décor pieces. These will hide the main display and distract the consumers. Don't use glass decoration pieces or antique vases. If you have to fill the left-out spaces, use artificial plants. These give a nice, simple look and won't avert your customers' eyes away from the exhibit. Create a Separate Display Placing the sofa-beds in the same room as other furnishings—especially bedroom sets—will make your collection invisible. This is because sofa-beds are supposed to be an alternate to bed sets. By keeping both in the same display, you risk both of the collections negating each other. Create a separate display for your sofa beds collection. This will help keep them in the spotlight and you will be able to highlight their features properly. We cater to different furniture vendors and retailers. If you are looking for wholesale European furniture in New York, feel free to contact us. Italian furniture has made a name for itself in the global furniture market because of its high quality collection sets. From beautifully crafted contemporary formal dining sets to modern leather sofas —there's isn't a collection Italian furnishings can't compete against. As a furniture expert, you know the value of Italian furnishings and how they can help build consumer loyalty, as well as boost sales. This is because the best craftsmanship goes into creating and structuring these collections. But many furniture retailers make mistakes when displaying European furniture which results in financial loss for their business. This is because European furnishings are of high quality and are in a complete class of their own. Displaying them in a similar manner as local collection sets will mask their intricate designs and beauty. So how can you highlight your Italian furnishings without hiding their intricate structures and beautiful designs? Displaying Italian Leather Sofa Sets Italy's furniture market is known for its leather products. Italian leather sofas have carved a name for themselves in the global market. This is because of their minimalistic but elegant look. The quality of leather used is exceptional and the wooden structure inside is made of the finest quality of wood in Europe. In order to highlight the features of Italian sofa sets, make sure to place them in a separate room. Keep the room simple as these collections use minimalistic designs and focus more on comfort. Make sure not to use any decoration pieces that will take away the spotlight from the collection. Instead, use artificial plants as a replacement for vases. Do not use carpeting, instead use a rug and place it in the middle. This will give the room a simple and clean appearance. Displaying Modern Italian Bedroom Sets Modern Italian bedroom sets are the epitome of elegance. They give the room a sophisticated, elegant look. Furthermore, their beautiful and stunning designs are what you want to highlight. The furnishings are built using the finest quality of wood and metal. Furthermore, the bed sets are waterproof and low-maintenance. When displaying Italian bedroom sets, make sure the room is not crowded with several wall units, décor and carpeting. Highlight the idea of storage space with a dresser and make sure the lighting complements the hue of the bed set. The bed should be kept away from the dresser or wardrobe and does not display a sofa set because that will distract customers. Furthermore, it will make the room look crowded. At ESF Wholesale Furniture, we ensure that our clients get the highest quality European furnishings for their furniture shop/showroom. If you are looking for Italian furniture in New York, take a look at our catalogue or contact us for further details. Most furniture retailers focus on the designs and framework of bedroom sets when displaying their collections. However, it’s also important to focus on the materials that come along with the furnishings. One of the most important aspects of bed sets that are often times ignored are the mattresses that come with them. Whether you’re catering to hoteliers or homeowners, it’s important to be consistent when it comes to quality. Customers rely on retailers to provide them with quality products that can last for years. Mattresses complement bed sets and make them appear comfortable and reliable. An empty frame will prove to be difficult for customers because they will not know whether the product will be comfortable and secure. Working with Dimensions If a bed is large and the mattress is slightly smaller, it can make the framework look out of shape. Even if the difference is small, it can change the way your collection looks. Therefore, it’s important to invest in the right mattresses and look into dimensions. This can help make your exhibitions look homely and inviting. Here are a few common mattress sizes and dimensions to be aware of: Bed Type Mattress Size/Dimension Twin 39 x 74 Twin XL 39 x 80 Full Size 54 x 74 Queen 60 x 80 King 76 x 80 California King 72 x 80 Common Mattress Sizes After noting the dimensions and which one works for which type of bed, it’s important to look further into the sizes in order to display your collections properly: Twin Bed Dimensions This mattress is the smallest size available in the market. It’s perfect for one adult or one child. The dimensions of the mattress are around 39 inches wide by 74 inches long. Twin XL Bed Dimensions This type of mattress is approximately 6 inches longer in length than a normal twin-sized bed. These are approximately 39 inches wide by 80 inches long. Full Bed Dimensions Full size mattresses are approximately 16 inches wider than their twin-sized counterparts. They are 54 inches wide by 74 inches tall. They’re perfect for children aged 11-15. Queen Bed Dimensions Queen size mattresses are wider than full size mattresses, providing more space and room for two people. They are also the most popular mattress size in the market. With the dimensions of 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, they’re the right choice to invest in when catering to hoteliers or homeowners. King Bed Dimensions King size beds offer the maximum amount of sleeping space. The dimensions are approximately 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. This means that by combining two XL twin-sized beds, you will get one king size bed. California King Bed Dimensions The California king mattress is approximately 72 inches wide by 84 inches long. Despite being 4 inches narrower than a king size bed, it is 4 inches wider. The mattress can be adjusted and is perfect for catering to a family with toddlers because it provides ample space for 4 people to fit. It is also perfect for catering to hoteliers who own 5 star hotels, and are looking for large-sized bed sets. We offer exclusive wholesale European furniture to vendors and retailers.

They want to create a dynamic look and add an individual personality to each room in their home or organization. The type of customer you're catering to plays a major role in deciding the type of collection you should display. Homeowners prefer something that can add a 'homely' look to their interior. Depending on their taste, they also want furnishings that can add a touch of 'elegance' to each room. In other words, they want to create a homely atmosphere but with a touch of luxury. Business organizations want something that can help them look professionally appealing to potential clients. Since workplaces use advanced technology and are required to keep up with their competitors, they want furnishings that can help them appear more sophisticated, creative and interactive. It can be challenging to cater to both types of consumers. This is where European furniture comes into the spotlight. With unique and complex designs, a fresh look with every collection, you can carve a market niche with each collection. The Advantages of Displaying European Furniture Keeping up with your competitors can be difficult if they have a strong customer following. However, it's not impossible. Since North American furniture reuses the same structures and patterns every few years, the designs can become generic. With European furniture, retailers don't have to worry about generic designs. Both Italian and Spanish furnishings blend modern with traditional designs, creating unique motifs and intricate structures. Retailers will find displaying these collections in their exhibits because: European Furniture Uses High Quality Materials From the high quality fabrics to the exceptional craftsmanship, European furniture manufacturers utilize state-of-the-art technology to create lucrative products for retailers. Every collection is created using brilliant woodwork, with intricate structures and a blend of contemporary with classical designs. European Furniture Adds Personality to Spaces Unlike local furniture, european furniture adds a personality to the interior. This is because the furnishings are crafted creatively and comes in stunningly beautiful colors. Italian furnishings use neutral colors and have a sophisticated look to their pieces while Spanish furnishings are perfect for adding color to living rooms and bedrooms. Furniture plays an important role in boosting productivity and creativity in organizations. It helps employees find their creative drive by offering inspiration through artistic and unique structures, and comfort through soft fabrics. But choosing the right collection to display in your exhibition can be difficult when catering to businesses. Since businesses have to keep up with the ever-changing technological trends, they need furnishings that complement their specialty. This is where contemporary European furniture comes in. \ The Beauty of Contemporary European Furniture Displaying the same designs every year will result in loss of customers and profit. Your customers need something unique and interesting that adds a touch of sophistication. One mistake retailers make when displaying furniture to commercial organizations is displaying collections that are lavish in baroque. Complex structures and designs are aesthetically pleasing but they can be distractive. European furniture uses the latest designs with simple structures that add a unique but sophisticated touch to the interior. One good example is of Italian furniture where even the most intricate design is minimalistic art. When displaying collections for professionals, it’s important to identify the target audience. The type of collection you are exhibiting depends on the type of business you are targeting. But as a general rule, you should use the following guidelines: \ Make Sure to Use LED Lights Where Needed Dim and dull lighting can hide the features of the furniture and interior. Avoid using yellow bulbs and energy savers. They create shadows and are better for highlighting small wall units. Using LED lights can create a brightly lit environment and help customers pay attention to details. \ Don’t Crowd the Room You may have many collections to display but when creating an exhibit for a specific set, it’s advised that you don’t crowd the room with different collections. Keep it neat and simple. If you are displaying tables and chairs, then you want to avoid distractions. Use artificial plants and not ornamental décor pieces. This will help customers focus on the furniture and not the decoration. \ Match the Wallpapers Wallpapers should complement the interior and furniture, not take the spotlight away. Therefore, make sure that you use simple wallpaper designs that complement the displays. This will help your collections take away the limelight and customers can focus on the details and structures, rather than the walls.

When it comes to furniture, some consumers prefer traditional and some prefer contemporary. Their choice depends on their requirements, and as a furniture retailer, you are aware of the value of both types of furnishings. Those who are homeowners oftentimes pick traditional and classical collections because of the elegant look they add to the interior. And those who work in a professional environment prefer to invest in furnishings that give workplaces a 'futuristic' look. But if your target audience is homeowners, a blend of classical and contemporary design will suffice; you could also go for something traditional. Spanish traditional furnishings are ideal for homeowners who are looking for something to boost their interior's appearance and create a warm environment. Furthermore, in addition to boosting the interior's appeal, traditional furnishings have a deep root of culture and traditions behind the origin of their designing. The Benefits of Spanish Traditional Furniture Spanish furnishings are known for their beautiful structures and unique designs. The patterns carved in classic Spanish woodwork are what make the collections beautiful. Whether it's bedroom collection sets or the beautiful, fun and creative sofa sets—Spanish furnishings are a category of their own. By displaying such eccentric but beautiful pieces, you will be able to boost your sales and carve a market niche. Here's how: Adding a Unique Look to Your Showroom By adding Spanish furnishings to your exhibitions, you will be offering something new and fresh to your customers. Because North American furniture is produced in bulk, with the same patterns and designs recycled every few years, consumers want something that adds personality to their homes. This is why Spanish furnishings are popular worldwide. They use exceptional woodwork to create exquisite designs and structures. Every pattern carved into the collection sets is unique and different from other designs. Exceptional Quality Wood Most traditional Spanish collection is made from wood. Spanish furniture manufacturers use high quality wood to create their collections. From bedroom sets to dining tables, the remarkable woodwork is not the only beautiful aspect. The wood used is durable, resistant to moisture and does not chip around the edges. A Sneak Peek into Culture and History Since Spanish furniture takes inspiration from Spanish culture and history, you can research into the different designs and patterns, and create a miniature infograph for each set. This will make your display interesting, interactive and unique. At ESF Wholesale Furniture, we cater to all your European-style furnishing needs. Whether you're looking to display Italian Furniture or Spanish collections, we have what you're looking for. Feel free to contact us for further details. One of the first things customers look for when choosing furniture for their homes or business is the design. The structure—wood or metalwork—is what appeals to the eye. A piece of furniture does not have to be intricate or decorated with various patterns to be visually appealing. A simple, minimalistic look blended with contemporary or traditional craftsmanship is what makes furnishings aesthetically alluring. But there is another important aspect that most furniture retailers forget that can result in loss of profit. That is the fabric of the furnishings. The Guide to Furniture Fabrics In order to become a furniture connoisseur, you have to first understand the materials used to build furnishings. This is especially true if you’re marketing wholesale European furniture. European-style utilizes state-of-the-art machinery to create lucrative and interesting designs. The fabric that is also made using some of the best materials in Europe. Spanish and Italian furniture utilizes labor and technology to produce high quality collections. This is why their fabrics are some of the best in the global market. Here are a few things to consider when you’re investing in furnishings with high quality fabrics: It’s All About Variety: Choosing a specific design will only limit the type of collection you’re marketing. Your customers are different from each other. While your target audience is going to be specific, the choice of your customers will vary from individual to individual. It’s not necessary that a businessperson will like the same set as a homeowner. Therefore, choose from a plethora of options when choosing furnishings with beautiful fabric. You can even take help from swatches to find out the type of materials used. Never Compromise on Quality: The patterns and structures printed may look beautiful but that’s the second most important aspect of fabrics. The first thing to check is the quality of the material. If there are threads sticking out or if the texture feels rough to touch, you’re looking at furniture with poor quality materials. Check to see if you can get free samples for your shop. If the samples stay as they are and do not deteriorate, you’ve got a winner. Parachutes Often times retailers wonder how long the fabric will last. This is a tough question to answer because it depends how the furnishings will be used. But every fabric comes with a ‘rub-test’. A small machine is used to “rub” the materials of the fabric until it hits a certain number that is considered suitable for upholstery. This was method was developed during the WW2 for testing parachute fabric. If the materials are good to go, they can last for a couple of years. Make Sure it Doesn’t Warp When displaying furniture in your showroom, make sure the yarn of the fabric does not warp. This means that if the threads start sticking out and the cloth starts rolling up, you have a problem. Return the collection immediately and invest in one that does not warp. The yarn of the fabric should be durable, reliable and have a soft, smooth texture. When it comes to displaying furniture for commercial organizations or homeowners, nothing beats the class, and extravagance of European-style furniture.

As a furniture retailer, you're already aware of the importance of maintaining your brand's image.

Understanding Customer Requirements Before catering to consulting firms, it's imperative to understand their requirements. Just as your furniture showroom is what attracts potential customers, a commercial organization's working environment attracts potential clients. Each firm has its own requirements. However, in order to cater to other businesses, your customers need to create a professional office atmosphere. One of the first things clients notice is the interior and appearance of the firm they're doing business with.

Furniture business is a huge attraction for anyone looking to make a quick buck; but it comes with some serious challenges of its own. When selling huge pieces of furniture, especially European Style Furniture, it is important that you also get the capabilities to display and ship these in a professional manner. Here's how you can do that: Always Be Prepared for Secure Shipping For starters you should have accurate dimensions of your furniture. Don't just rely on your wholesaler to give you the stats. Instead take your time and measure everything as accurately as possible. Also, have the results ready in both metric and imperial units; your buyers may ask for either. The width, height, depth and weight must be noted for every piece of furniture. When selling an almirah, for instance, measure the space between shelves as well as the total height of the case. Show It Off Beautifully It is a good idea to not only arrange the decorative objects with your furniture, but also group them up suitably in vignettes. Create vignettes by grouping objects together on the wall, on top of a beautiful European style coffee table, grouping together chairs etc. around a garden area, etc. Arrange your furniture items, and decorative pieces and give your clientele a place to rest their eyes, stay and examine the pieces a while. Quality over Quantity…Always! Furniture buyers are always on the lookout for a good trade-off between high quality and affordable price. The trouble with high quality is that it never comes cheap. And while you can find plenty of cheap imitations of high quality European style furniture, they are seldom worth the trouble buying. As a furniture seller, you will be better off buying a few pieces of quality wholesale furniture. Filling up your showroom with low cost furniture that won't move is never the idea!

Why Italian Furniture is the Pinnacle of Luxury It's no surprise that when it comes to instruments of hedonism, the Italians lead by a mile. Any object or idea that has taken birth in Italy has always been one that has provided its admirers with a unique and strong taste of design and innovation. Let's take the concept of Italian furniture as an example. As a source of one of the most beautiful designs in the industry, Italy uses their ingenuity and tact to provide exquisite style. But is that truly the only reason why Italy stands at the forefront for luxury furnishings? To answer that, we at ESF (European Style Furniture) look deep into the history and numerous reasons why Italian furniture is so loved. History of Italian Design Italian furniture designs have been synonymous with luxury since the early mid-1900s. Taking their inspiration from French art deco styles in the beginning, Italian furniture designers began incorporating aspects of industrialization to produce minimalist and modern styles after WWII. As well introducing the Rationalism movement in their post-modern designs, Italian designers gained more ground in the industry by involving Avant-garde designs during the 1960s and 1970s to acquire more unique designs that offered an artistic look in home settings. Around this time, the fashion industry of Italy started gaining more attention from the rest of the world. And soon, people from all over were seeking products that were stamped with a “Made in Italy” quote. Suddenly, acquiring furniture, clothes and automobiles started transferring as a status symbol among the rich and famous. In the modern age, Italian contemporary furniture became more of a practical style of taste, one which spoke of history, prestige and luxury. Why Italian Style is Iconic Modernity Italian designers created art by incorporating minimalism in their furniture styles. By using clear lines and simpler geometric patterns, Italian furniture adds a minimalist touch that is less likely to clash with any other item in a person's home. The idea behind Italian furniture is that the design has to look simple. With trim details, aesthetically appealing color combinations and a mixture of materials, most products that are made offer a certain touch of vitality to the piece. Functionality Many Italian fashion designers state that the otherwise minimalist and simple forms of Italian furniture are so, because they promise multi-functionality through their design. The work and passion that goes into each style of Italian furniture allows the homeowner to add their own style, accessories and colors to the whole look, making it more personalized. Inspiration through Art and Culture Italy has always been a country that uses its surroundings to express their love for arts and culture. Because Italians were naturally exposed to so much natural beauty throughout their lives, they used their resources to offer an aesthetic to those who wanted to experience the same beauty in their surroundings. Through the many designers who are connected with our company, ESF also offers beautiful Italian furniture to all vendors who want to sell gorgeous luxury furniture. If you're as inspired by Italian design, contact us today, and stock your store with the very best wholesale furniture that Italian designers have to offer. When approaching a wholesale supplier for your furniture business, it is important that you have proper information about their distribution processes and how their supply will benefit your trade. Companies such as ESF offer comprehensive services to clients. However, for those who are new to the furniture business, there are several questions they should ask in order to determine expectations from their services. What Questions Should You Ask Yourself and Your Supplier? · Does Their Website Offer Exact Product Images and Descriptions? Websites that offer details about the products they are selling can cut back on the time you would have spent researching the stock. Many companies, including ESF, provide disclaimers about the colors of their stock. The shades can be different than what it appears digitally. Such information is an indicator that the company will offer professional services. · Do they Offer Shipping or Shipping Assistance? Let's take the services provided by ESF as an example. ESF offers home deliveries and store drop offs for all business in the New York tri-state area because our warehouse is situated in this location. However, for clients who maintain their businesses in other parts of the U.S. or in Canada, we offer assistance in finding trucking services that would ship the stock. · Do they Offer Proactive Monitoring and Replacement Services? Many companies that offer wholesale stock to different vendors and retail stores do not offer replacement services since they have limited products. However, if you want a long-term wholesale supplier, ask them if they offer replacement parts and repair services. We at ESF offer such services on all our merchandise. Although before every shipping, our professional Quality Control Team checks through the whole stock to make sure that nothing is amiss. · Do They Respond Quickly to Market Trends and Changes? Never choose a supplier that isn't up-to-date with the evolving market conditions and trends. Companies that deal with trends and fashion changes have to stay on top to make sure that their clients get the best stocks for their store. At ESF, we offer new arrivals in a completely different section so that clients can get the merchandise earlier than their competitors. However, we also offer older products in a separate Clearance section for those who need to re-stock on older items. You depend on your wholesaler to provide you with the best for your business. So keep these questions in mind when you start your search. If you want to stock your store, contact us today to inquire about our European furniture. Companies such as ESF (European Style Furniture) distribute stocks to businesses all over USA and Canada. As such, it is important that we manage our inventory in a compatible way so that our clients receive their products in due time. Inventory management for wholesale furniture consists of numerous factors that we practice to make sure that our planned distribution maintains its course of supply, production and stock replenishment. What Does Inventory Management Entail? Inventory management, in case of wholesale distribution, specifies the form and profit of the stocked goods. The process mostly takes place within the location or multiple locations where the regular or planned supply of stock and materials go through. Scope of Inventory Management Gains from inventory management include optimal levels in stock and a greater chance for handling any changes in business that the company may need to respond to. The on-going process of inventory management includes; · Managing carrying costs of inventory · Inventory visibility · Space availability for new stock · Physical inventory · Forecasting future inventory price · Inventory evaluation · Inventory inspection · Replenishment · Quality management · Replacement of damaged goods · Asset management Best Practices in Inventory Management for Furniture Retailers 1. Stocking Products in Pieces Many companies like ESF store their products in parts which can later be assembled if a client means to purchase the item for their store. Like many furniture pieces, these items are wrapped in flat packaging so as to reduce the cover space in our warehouses. This in turn, lessens the cost of transportation and shipping to the stores. 2. Adopting a Real-Time Stock Monitoring System It pays to be wary of situations where the stock may be missing. Investing in the latest monitoring technology can allow you to keep track of all stock details and order more if a furniture part or accessory falls short. Many companies use software that allows us to access and sync our inventory easily and alert us of any new stock requirements that may be needed. 3. Building Relationships with Partners and Manufacturers The key point for any successful business is to maintain a sustainable relationship with the supply manufacturers as well as their clients. By doing so and maintaining a long term contract with the business, we are able to negotiate prices and bring in only the stock that is required with complete focus on material and quality. Also, by building such a connection, we are also able to receive our stock in time. To Sum it up By practicing these factors and maintaining an astute focus on our management, ESF (European Style Furniture) is able to provide quality European style furniture for businesses that find our stocks to be better suited to their needs. Being in the furniture business is just about the safest business venture you can partake in. As a company that offers wholesale furniture to all vendors and retail stores in the U.S. as well as Canada, we at ESF Wholesale Furniture have a lot of experience on what makes and breaks a furniture business. Here are some significant factors that can affect the success of your store. What Do You Need to Start a Furniture Business 1. A Niche Decide specifically the type of furniture you want to sell. Identify your target market and research whether the style you're looking for will garner attention from the masses. For instance, if you decide on Italian contemporary furniture, check whether the area in which you are situated needs a source for such a style. 2. Proper Sized Store Find a store that properly accommodates your business, keeping in mind that the more spacious store you seek, the more rent you will have to provide. However, don't simply buy a small store just so you can stuff it with your products. A comfortable looking establishment allows customers to feel welcome and not overwhelmed. 3. Building and Location The appeal of your building and location can help bring in customers. For instance, if you are renting a new business, you will need to make sure that the exterior looks fresh and clean. As for location, try to locate an area where you will most likely be seen. Highly traffic areas can easily determine the popularity of your store. However, if you choose to rent or buy a store which is hidden from mass view, you will need to get some funds for marketing and advertising. 4. Determine Labor You will obviously need a workforce to keep up with the constant demands in business such as selling, organizing and maintaining the shipping process. Determining the number of employees for your store will give you the chance to divide the profit so that you can invest a substantial sum on quality furniture. 5. Source Cheap quality equals to a bad reputation. If you buy furniture from a source that offers cheap furniture, you may end up regretting your decision. Companies such as ESF Wholesale Furniture that enjoy exclusive rights of distribution from some of the best European furniture manufacturers are the only sources that can provide you with enough quality furniture to help you maintain your reputation as a trusted furniture store. Maintaining a furniture retail business is hard work. But with these tips and a little help from ESF Wholesale Furniture, we hope that we are able to help you in starting a business that will remain a success for the years to come. Furniture business is a major attraction to first-time business folk because of the high profit margins. And if you think about it, a furniture retail store is one of the biggest, most lucrative businesses out there. But then why is it that all of us have seen a furniture store pop up in our neighborhoods, at one time of another, and then promptly proceed to closing down a few months down the line? While there is no single formula to the success of a business store, some things are common among successful furniture sellers who manage to stand the test of time. As experts in wholesale furniture, we have worked with thousands of furniture sellers across USA and Canada and contributed to their success and longevity. Here's what we suggest all new furniture sellers should focus on: Learn More about the Market Find out what your customers need from high quality wholesale furniture? What are their design and style aspirations? Attract their attention and talk to them where they are present. Advertise in ways others don't usually think of, i.e. giving seminars, working with community centers, handing out fliers about European style furniture, etc. These tactics have worked for many of our wholesale furniture buyers in the past. Set Up Shop Whether you are selling online, in store or attacking the market on both fronts, make sure that your furniture catalogue is perfectly visible in the best possible light. Everything else takes backseat. The furniture must be arranged beautifully and the store/website must be arranged to make browsing easier. The ordering/buying process should be as quick and painless as possible as well. Carry Quality Wholesale Furniture There is no doubt that high quality furniture is what attracts buyers, while your sales skills help retain buyers, making them customers for life. Your advertising, selling and social skills might be on point, but if prospective buyers don't like what they see in your catalogue, then nothing can save the furniture store. So invest in high quality furniture and furnishings for your store, and build a reputation for providing the absolute best money can buy. Continuously update your collection depending on the time of the year and customers tastes. Offer them variety and they'll keep coming back for more!

As wholesale furniture suppliers for thousands of retail entrepreneurs, we are the biggest source of high quality European furniture products and their wholesale supplier of choice. Manage Inventory to Ensure Better Client Satisfaction The back of the showroom floor, i.e. the warehouse, is where all the action happens. While it is true that this is where the inventory is stored, the last thing a competent furniture reseller might want to do is spend hours in there trying to hunt down a particular product because a customer suddenly asked for multiple pieces! Select one good method of inventory management and stick to it. Make sure your products at the backend are always organized, so that sales are always lightning fast. Also, isn't it just nice to know where to find something when you need it? Group Your Products Together Place them by style, design, type, room etc. so you can get straight to the section where you know they'll be. For example, if you are looking for table lamps, you know if you have found one, you have found them all! Always keep the Aisles Clear Cluttered warehouses really don't serve any purpose, and can even make it more difficult to find products when you need them. Make sure that the aisles are clean and spacious enough for multiple staff members to walk through. This will help you make sales faster and ensure better staff satisfaction as well.

You will have to research the buyers in your location, their furniture needs, the sizes of their homes and family sizes, etc. Then you will have to make the actual selection, ensuring that your store can cater to their furniture needs. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind: Make Sure You Carry Basic Furniture for Every Room of the House Each family has specific furniture needs for every space in their house. Make sure you offer them viable alternatives: from affordable to extravagant; from contemporary to traditional for every room and let them decide the best options for themselves. They might want to hide the TV, or create a cozy reading nook and some great lighting options. Make sure your store can cater! Carry Complementary Pieces Your client may be a book collector and looking for an exquisite library, perhaps they need a TV cabinet, or maybe they want a TV cabinet in the bedroom. It's also a good idea to carry tableware that goes well with your kitchen and dining table furniture pieces. Make sure your buyers have access to complementary pieces that let them carry out their hobbies and activities! Never Compromise on Utility and Materials The furniture you select for your store must be made from the highest quality materials whether it's leather or fabric or wood. If you are catering to families, they will want durable products that can stand up to abuse by children, pets and guests, etc. On the other hand, if you know your clients are looking for high end furniture, they will be more than willing to pay for more delicate and better looking items.

When it comes to building customer loyalty, bigger space isn't always better. Increasing sales and satisfying your customers depends on how well you market your products. Displaying poor quality furnishings can lead to a decrease in sales but with the right furniture, you can climb the ladder of success and carve a market niche. Proper planning and arrangements can go a long way when it comes to creating the right atmosphere, look and appeal of your furniture shop. With proper planning, interior and décor, small spaces can be made to appear spacious. This is where European furniture comes in. With its intricate designs, blended with a modern and traditional look, European furniture will give a homely but elegant appearance to your shop. In addition to this, it will create the illusion of a larger space without making your shop look overcrowded. Where to Begin It can be difficult planning a proper setting for your European furnishings but that does not mean it's difficult. With the right arrangements, you can make your shop appear larger and properly display your collection. Here are a few steps you can take: Keep it Simple Depending on the type of European furniture you're displaying, it is wise not to display two collections with each other. If you're displaying Spanish sofas, focus solely on them. Do not mix them with Italian sofa sets or any other style of Spanish sofas. If the collection you are displaying is traditional, focus on traditional fittings and not incorporate anything contemporary into the exhibit. Not only will that highlight two opposite styles, unless you have a collection that blends modern with traditional, your display will stand out negatively. Hidden Storage Surprise your customers with hidden storage. Not only does this make room in your shop, displaying furniture with hidden storage helps you cater to larger families. You can display dressers instead of side tables to encourage the idea of storage. Add Plants to Fill Up Spaces While keeping furnishings to a minimum, remember not to add small decoration pieces that can distract the customer and take the spotlight away from the display. Furthermore, avoid adding small furnishings because that will make the room look crowded. Plants help keep the customer focused on what's important: the exhibit. Adding plants will make the surroundings look more natural and add a homely feeling. Furthermore, it will help the furnishings blend into a more natural environment, without making everything look overdone.

Spanish furniture has carved a name for itself around the world because of its use of high quality wood for its furnishings. Known for its sofa-beds and its utilization of traditional and contemporary designs, it's become a consumer favorite for several reasons. Because of its impeccable woodwork and craftsmanship, displaying Spanish furnishings can help you boost sales and build strong consumer loyalty. If you are planning to invest in Spanish sofa beds, it can be difficult not knowing where to start. Since these are not ordinary collections, it can be hard finding the right way to display and highlight the features. However, it is not impossible. Here are a few things you can do to properly display your Spanish furniture collection: Install Proper Lighting Since Spanish furnishings are known for their vibrant colors and intricate structures, it's important to highlight all these features. Don't let your collection blend into the interior of the room. Instead, make sure you have proper lighting; if possible, make sure to place the lightings near the sofa sets. This will help highlight its prominent features. Keep it Simple, Not Crowded The last thing you want is to distract your customers away from the main display. By getting rid of any clutter and adding dressers, you will not only encourage storage space ideas, you will help your customers keep their eye on the prize. Another thing to remember is to not display décor pieces. These will hide the main display and distract the consumers. Don't use glass decoration pieces or antique vases. If you have to fill the left-out spaces, use artificial plants. These give a nice, simple look and won't avert your customers' eyes away from the exhibit. Create a Separate Display Placing the sofa-beds in the same room as other furnishings—especially bedroom sets—will make your collection invisible. This is because sofa-beds are supposed to be an alternate to bed sets. By keeping both in the same display, you risk both of the collections negating each other. Create a separate display for your sofa beds collection. This will help keep them in the spotlight and you will be able to highlight their features properly. We cater to different furniture vendors and retailers. If you are looking for wholesale European furniture in New York, feel free to contact us. Italian furniture has made a name for itself in the global furniture market because of its high quality collection sets. From beautifully crafted contemporary formal dining sets to modern leather sofas —there's isn't a collection Italian furnishings can't compete against. As a furniture expert, you know the value of Italian furnishings and how they can help build consumer loyalty, as well as boost sales. This is because the best craftsmanship goes into creating and structuring these collections. But many furniture retailers make mistakes when displaying European furniture which results in financial loss for their business. This is because European furnishings are of high quality and are in a complete class of their own. Displaying them in a similar manner as local collection sets will mask their intricate designs and beauty. So how can you highlight your Italian furnishings without hiding their intricate structures and beautiful designs? Displaying Italian Leather Sofa Sets Italy's furniture market is known for its leather products. Italian leather sofas have carved a name for themselves in the global market. This is because of their minimalistic but elegant look. The quality of leather used is exceptional and the wooden structure inside is made of the finest quality of wood in Europe. In order to highlight the features of Italian sofa sets, make sure to place them in a separate room. Keep the room simple as these collections use minimalistic designs and focus more on comfort. Make sure not to use any decoration pieces that will take away the spotlight from the collection. Instead, use artificial plants as a replacement for vases. Do not use carpeting, instead use a rug and place it in the middle. This will give the room a simple and clean appearance. Displaying Modern Italian Bedroom Sets Modern Italian bedroom sets are the epitome of elegance. They give the room a sophisticated, elegant look. Furthermore, their beautiful and stunning designs are what you want to highlight. The furnishings are built using the finest quality of wood and metal. Furthermore, the bed sets are waterproof and low-maintenance. When displaying Italian bedroom sets, make sure the room is not crowded with several wall units, décor and carpeting. Highlight the idea of storage space with a dresser and make sure the lighting complements the hue of the bed set. The bed should be kept away from the dresser or wardrobe and does not display a sofa set because that will distract customers. Furthermore, it will make the room look crowded. At ESF Wholesale Furniture, we ensure that our clients get the highest quality European furnishings for their furniture shop/showroom. If you are looking for Italian furniture in New York, take a look at our catalogue or contact us for further details. Most furniture retailers focus on the designs and framework of bedroom sets when displaying their collections. However, it’s also important to focus on the materials that come along with the furnishings. One of the most important aspects of bed sets that are often times ignored are the mattresses that come with them. Whether you’re catering to hoteliers or homeowners, it’s important to be consistent when it comes to quality. Customers rely on retailers to provide them with quality products that can last for years. Mattresses complement bed sets and make them appear comfortable and reliable. An empty frame will prove to be difficult for customers because they will not know whether the product will be comfortable and secure. Working with Dimensions If a bed is large and the mattress is slightly smaller, it can make the framework look out of shape. Even if the difference is small, it can change the way your collection looks. Therefore, it’s important to invest in the right mattresses and look into dimensions. This can help make your exhibitions look homely and inviting. Here are a few common mattress sizes and dimensions to be aware of: Bed Type Mattress Size/Dimension Twin 39 x 74 Twin XL 39 x 80 Full Size 54 x 74 Queen 60 x 80 King 76 x 80 California King 72 x 80 Common Mattress Sizes After noting the dimensions and which one works for which type of bed, it’s important to look further into the sizes in order to display your collections properly: Twin Bed Dimensions This mattress is the smallest size available in the market. It’s perfect for one adult or one child. The dimensions of the mattress are around 39 inches wide by 74 inches long. Twin XL Bed Dimensions This type of mattress is approximately 6 inches longer in length than a normal twin-sized bed. These are approximately 39 inches wide by 80 inches long. Full Bed Dimensions Full size mattresses are approximately 16 inches wider than their twin-sized counterparts. They are 54 inches wide by 74 inches tall. They’re perfect for children aged 11-15. Queen Bed Dimensions Queen size mattresses are wider than full size mattresses, providing more space and room for two people. They are also the most popular mattress size in the market. With the dimensions of 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, they’re the right choice to invest in when catering to hoteliers or homeowners. King Bed Dimensions King size beds offer the maximum amount of sleeping space. The dimensions are approximately 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. This means that by combining two XL twin-sized beds, you will get one king size bed. California King Bed Dimensions The California king mattress is approximately 72 inches wide by 84 inches long. Despite being 4 inches narrower than a king size bed, it is 4 inches wider. The mattress can be adjusted and is perfect for catering to a family with toddlers because it provides ample space for 4 people to fit. It is also perfect for catering to hoteliers who own 5 star hotels, and are looking for large-sized bed sets. We offer exclusive wholesale European furniture to vendors and retailers.

They want to create a dynamic look and add an individual personality to each room in their home or organization. The type of customer you're catering to plays a major role in deciding the type of collection you should display. Homeowners prefer something that can add a 'homely' look to their interior. Depending on their taste, they also want furnishings that can add a touch of 'elegance' to each room. In other words, they want to create a homely atmosphere but with a touch of luxury. Business organizations want something that can help them look professionally appealing to potential clients. Since workplaces use advanced technology and are required to keep up with their competitors, they want furnishings that can help them appear more sophisticated, creative and interactive. It can be challenging to cater to both types of consumers. This is where European furniture comes into the spotlight. With unique and complex designs, a fresh look with every collection, you can carve a market niche with each collection. The Advantages of Displaying European Furniture Keeping up with your competitors can be difficult if they have a strong customer following. However, it's not impossible. Since North American furniture reuses the same structures and patterns every few years, the designs can become generic. With European furniture, retailers don't have to worry about generic designs. Both Italian and Spanish furnishings blend modern with traditional designs, creating unique motifs and intricate structures. Retailers will find displaying these collections in their exhibits because: European Furniture Uses High Quality Materials From the high quality fabrics to the exceptional craftsmanship, European furniture manufacturers utilize state-of-the-art technology to create lucrative products for retailers. Every collection is created using brilliant woodwork, with intricate structures and a blend of contemporary with classical designs. European Furniture Adds Personality to Spaces Unlike local furniture, european furniture adds a personality to the interior. This is because the furnishings are crafted creatively and comes in stunningly beautiful colors. Italian furnishings use neutral colors and have a sophisticated look to their pieces while Spanish furnishings are perfect for adding color to living rooms and bedrooms. Furniture plays an important role in boosting productivity and creativity in organizations. It helps employees find their creative drive by offering inspiration through artistic and unique structures, and comfort through soft fabrics. But choosing the right collection to display in your exhibition can be difficult when catering to businesses. Since businesses have to keep up with the ever-changing technological trends, they need furnishings that complement their specialty. This is where contemporary European furniture comes in. \ The Beauty of Contemporary European Furniture Displaying the same designs every year will result in loss of customers and profit. Your customers need something unique and interesting that adds a touch of sophistication. One mistake retailers make when displaying furniture to commercial organizations is displaying collections that are lavish in baroque. Complex structures and designs are aesthetically pleasing but they can be distractive. European furniture uses the latest designs with simple structures that add a unique but sophisticated touch to the interior. One good example is of Italian furniture where even the most intricate design is minimalistic art. When displaying collections for professionals, it’s important to identify the target audience. The type of collection you are exhibiting depends on the type of business you are targeting. But as a general rule, you should use the following guidelines: \ Make Sure to Use LED Lights Where Needed Dim and dull lighting can hide the features of the furniture and interior. Avoid using yellow bulbs and energy savers. They create shadows and are better for highlighting small wall units. Using LED lights can create a brightly lit environment and help customers pay attention to details. \ Don’t Crowd the Room You may have many collections to display but when creating an exhibit for a specific set, it’s advised that you don’t crowd the room with different collections. Keep it neat and simple. If you are displaying tables and chairs, then you want to avoid distractions. Use artificial plants and not ornamental décor pieces. This will help customers focus on the furniture and not the decoration. \ Match the Wallpapers Wallpapers should complement the interior and furniture, not take the spotlight away. Therefore, make sure that you use simple wallpaper designs that complement the displays. This will help your collections take away the limelight and customers can focus on the details and structures, rather than the walls.

When it comes to furniture, some consumers prefer traditional and some prefer contemporary. Their choice depends on their requirements, and as a furniture retailer, you are aware of the value of both types of furnishings. Those who are homeowners oftentimes pick traditional and classical collections because of the elegant look they add to the interior. And those who work in a professional environment prefer to invest in furnishings that give workplaces a 'futuristic' look. But if your target audience is homeowners, a blend of classical and contemporary design will suffice; you could also go for something traditional. Spanish traditional furnishings are ideal for homeowners who are looking for something to boost their interior's appearance and create a warm environment. Furthermore, in addition to boosting the interior's appeal, traditional furnishings have a deep root of culture and traditions behind the origin of their designing. The Benefits of Spanish Traditional Furniture Spanish furnishings are known for their beautiful structures and unique designs. The patterns carved in classic Spanish woodwork are what make the collections beautiful. Whether it's bedroom collection sets or the beautiful, fun and creative sofa sets—Spanish furnishings are a category of their own. By displaying such eccentric but beautiful pieces, you will be able to boost your sales and carve a market niche. Here's how: Adding a Unique Look to Your Showroom By adding Spanish furnishings to your exhibitions, you will be offering something new and fresh to your customers. Because North American furniture is produced in bulk, with the same patterns and designs recycled every few years, consumers want something that adds personality to their homes. This is why Spanish furnishings are popular worldwide. They use exceptional woodwork to create exquisite designs and structures. Every pattern carved into the collection sets is unique and different from other designs. Exceptional Quality Wood Most traditional Spanish collection is made from wood. Spanish furniture manufacturers use high quality wood to create their collections. From bedroom sets to dining tables, the remarkable woodwork is not the only beautiful aspect. The wood used is durable, resistant to moisture and does not chip around the edges. A Sneak Peek into Culture and History Since Spanish furniture takes inspiration from Spanish culture and history, you can research into the different designs and patterns, and create a miniature infograph for each set. This will make your display interesting, interactive and unique. At ESF Wholesale Furniture, we cater to all your European-style furnishing needs. Whether you're looking to display Italian Furniture or Spanish collections, we have what you're looking for. Feel free to contact us for further details. One of the first things customers look for when choosing furniture for their homes or business is the design. The structure—wood or metalwork—is what appeals to the eye. A piece of furniture does not have to be intricate or decorated with various patterns to be visually appealing. A simple, minimalistic look blended with contemporary or traditional craftsmanship is what makes furnishings aesthetically alluring. But there is another important aspect that most furniture retailers forget that can result in loss of profit. That is the fabric of the furnishings. The Guide to Furniture Fabrics In order to become a furniture connoisseur, you have to first understand the materials used to build furnishings. This is especially true if you’re marketing wholesale European furniture. European-style utilizes state-of-the-art machinery to create lucrative and interesting designs. The fabric that is also made using some of the best materials in Europe. Spanish and Italian furniture utilizes labor and technology to produce high quality collections. This is why their fabrics are some of the best in the global market. Here are a few things to consider when you’re investing in furnishings with high quality fabrics: It’s All About Variety: Choosing a specific design will only limit the type of collection you’re marketing. Your customers are different from each other. While your target audience is going to be specific, the choice of your customers will vary from individual to individual. It’s not necessary that a businessperson will like the same set as a homeowner. Therefore, choose from a plethora of options when choosing furnishings with beautiful fabric. You can even take help from swatches to find out the type of materials used. Never Compromise on Quality: The patterns and structures printed may look beautiful but that’s the second most important aspect of fabrics. The first thing to check is the quality of the material. If there are threads sticking out or if the texture feels rough to touch, you’re looking at furniture with poor quality materials. Check to see if you can get free samples for your shop. If the samples stay as they are and do not deteriorate, you’ve got a winner. Parachutes Often times retailers wonder how long the fabric will last. This is a tough question to answer because it depends how the furnishings will be used. But every fabric comes with a ‘rub-test’. A small machine is used to “rub” the materials of the fabric until it hits a certain number that is considered suitable for upholstery. This was method was developed during the WW2 for testing parachute fabric. If the materials are good to go, they can last for a couple of years. Make Sure it Doesn’t Warp When displaying furniture in your showroom, make sure the yarn of the fabric does not warp. This means that if the threads start sticking out and the cloth starts rolling up, you have a problem. Return the collection immediately and invest in one that does not warp. The yarn of the fabric should be durable, reliable and have a soft, smooth texture. When it comes to displaying furniture for commercial organizations or homeowners, nothing beats the class, and extravagance of European-style furniture.

Furniture business is a huge attraction for anyone looking to make a quick buck; but it comes with some serious challenges of its own. When selling huge pieces of furniture, especially European Style Furniture, it is important that you also get the capabilities to display and ship these in a professional manner. Here's how you can do that: Always Be Prepared for Secure Shipping For starters you should have accurate dimensions of your furniture. Don't just rely on your wholesaler to give you the stats. Instead take your time and measure everything as accurately as possible. Also, have the results ready in both metric and imperial units; your buyers may ask for either. The width, height, depth and weight must be noted for every piece of furniture. When selling an almirah, for instance, measure the space between shelves as well as the total height of the case. Show It Off Beautifully It is a good idea to not only arrange the decorative objects with your furniture, but also group them up suitably in vignettes. Create vignettes by grouping objects together on the wall, on top of a beautiful European style coffee table, grouping together chairs etc. around a garden area, etc. Arrange your furniture items, and decorative pieces and give your clientele a place to rest their eyes, stay and examine the pieces a while. Quality over Quantity…Always! Furniture buyers are always on the lookout for a good trade-off between high quality and affordable price. The trouble with high quality is that it never comes cheap. And while you can find plenty of cheap imitations of high quality European style furniture, they are seldom worth the trouble buying. As a furniture seller, you will be better off buying a few pieces of quality wholesale furniture. Filling up your showroom with low cost furniture that won't move is never the idea!

Why Italian Furniture is the Pinnacle of Luxury It's no surprise that when it comes to instruments of hedonism, the Italians lead by a mile. Any object or idea that has taken birth in Italy has always been one that has provided its admirers with a unique and strong taste of design and innovation. Let's take the concept of Italian furniture as an example. As a source of one of the most beautiful designs in the industry, Italy uses their ingenuity and tact to provide exquisite style. But is that truly the only reason why Italy stands at the forefront for luxury furnishings? To answer that, we at ESF (European Style Furniture) look deep into the history and numerous reasons why Italian furniture is so loved. History of Italian Design Italian furniture designs have been synonymous with luxury since the early mid-1900s. Taking their inspiration from French art deco styles in the beginning, Italian furniture designers began incorporating aspects of industrialization to produce minimalist and modern styles after WWII. As well introducing the Rationalism movement in their post-modern designs, Italian designers gained more ground in the industry by involving Avant-garde designs during the 1960s and 1970s to acquire more unique designs that offered an artistic look in home settings. Around this time, the fashion industry of Italy started gaining more attention from the rest of the world. And soon, people from all over were seeking products that were stamped with a “Made in Italy” quote. Suddenly, acquiring furniture, clothes and automobiles started transferring as a status symbol among the rich and famous. In the modern age, Italian contemporary furniture became more of a practical style of taste, one which spoke of history, prestige and luxury. Why Italian Style is Iconic Modernity Italian designers created art by incorporating minimalism in their furniture styles. By using clear lines and simpler geometric patterns, Italian furniture adds a minimalist touch that is less likely to clash with any other item in a person's home. The idea behind Italian furniture is that the design has to look simple. With trim details, aesthetically appealing color combinations and a mixture of materials, most products that are made offer a certain touch of vitality to the piece. Functionality Many Italian fashion designers state that the otherwise minimalist and simple forms of Italian furniture are so, because they promise multi-functionality through their design. The work and passion that goes into each style of Italian furniture allows the homeowner to add their own style, accessories and colors to the whole look, making it more personalized. Inspiration through Art and Culture Italy has always been a country that uses its surroundings to express their love for arts and culture. Because Italians were naturally exposed to so much natural beauty throughout their lives, they used their resources to offer an aesthetic to those who wanted to experience the same beauty in their surroundings. Through the many designers who are connected with our company, ESF also offers beautiful Italian furniture to all vendors who want to sell gorgeous luxury furniture. If you're as inspired by Italian design, contact us today, and stock your store with the very best wholesale furniture that Italian designers have to offer. When approaching a wholesale supplier for your furniture business, it is important that you have proper information about their distribution processes and how their supply will benefit your trade. Companies such as ESF offer comprehensive services to clients. However, for those who are new to the furniture business, there are several questions they should ask in order to determine expectations from their services. What Questions Should You Ask Yourself and Your Supplier? · Does Their Website Offer Exact Product Images and Descriptions? Websites that offer details about the products they are selling can cut back on the time you would have spent researching the stock. Many companies, including ESF, provide disclaimers about the colors of their stock. The shades can be different than what it appears digitally. Such information is an indicator that the company will offer professional services. · Do they Offer Shipping or Shipping Assistance? Let's take the services provided by ESF as an example. ESF offers home deliveries and store drop offs for all business in the New York tri-state area because our warehouse is situated in this location. However, for clients who maintain their businesses in other parts of the U.S. or in Canada, we offer assistance in finding trucking services that would ship the stock. · Do they Offer Proactive Monitoring and Replacement Services? Many companies that offer wholesale stock to different vendors and retail stores do not offer replacement services since they have limited products. However, if you want a long-term wholesale supplier, ask them if they offer replacement parts and repair services. We at ESF offer such services on all our merchandise. Although before every shipping, our professional Quality Control Team checks through the whole stock to make sure that nothing is amiss. · Do They Respond Quickly to Market Trends and Changes? Never choose a supplier that isn't up-to-date with the evolving market conditions and trends. Companies that deal with trends and fashion changes have to stay on top to make sure that their clients get the best stocks for their store. At ESF, we offer new arrivals in a completely different section so that clients can get the merchandise earlier than their competitors. However, we also offer older products in a separate Clearance section for those who need to re-stock on older items. You depend on your wholesaler to provide you with the best for your business. So keep these questions in mind when you start your search. If you want to stock your store, contact us today to inquire about our European furniture. Companies such as ESF (European Style Furniture) distribute stocks to businesses all over USA and Canada. As such, it is important that we manage our inventory in a compatible way so that our clients receive their products in due time. Inventory management for wholesale furniture consists of numerous factors that we practice to make sure that our planned distribution maintains its course of supply, production and stock replenishment. What Does Inventory Management Entail? Inventory management, in case of wholesale distribution, specifies the form and profit of the stocked goods. The process mostly takes place within the location or multiple locations where the regular or planned supply of stock and materials go through. Scope of Inventory Management Gains from inventory management include optimal levels in stock and a greater chance for handling any changes in business that the company may need to respond to. The on-going process of inventory management includes; · Managing carrying costs of inventory · Inventory visibility · Space availability for new stock · Physical inventory · Forecasting future inventory price · Inventory evaluation · Inventory inspection · Replenishment · Quality management · Replacement of damaged goods · Asset management Best Practices in Inventory Management for Furniture Retailers 1. Stocking Products in Pieces Many companies like ESF store their products in parts which can later be assembled if a client means to purchase the item for their store. Like many furniture pieces, these items are wrapped in flat packaging so as to reduce the cover space in our warehouses. This in turn, lessens the cost of transportation and shipping to the stores. 2. Adopting a Real-Time Stock Monitoring System It pays to be wary of situations where the stock may be missing. Investing in the latest monitoring technology can allow you to keep track of all stock details and order more if a furniture part or accessory falls short. Many companies use software that allows us to access and sync our inventory easily and alert us of any new stock requirements that may be needed. 3. Building Relationships with Partners and Manufacturers The key point for any successful business is to maintain a sustainable relationship with the supply manufacturers as well as their clients. By doing so and maintaining a long term contract with the business, we are able to negotiate prices and bring in only the stock that is required with complete focus on material and quality. Also, by building such a connection, we are also able to receive our stock in time. To Sum it up By practicing these factors and maintaining an astute focus on our management, ESF (European Style Furniture) is able to provide quality European style furniture for businesses that find our stocks to be better suited to their needs. Being in the furniture business is just about the safest business venture you can partake in. As a company that offers wholesale furniture to all vendors and retail stores in the U.S. as well as Canada, we at ESF Wholesale Furniture have a lot of experience on what makes and breaks a furniture business. Here are some significant factors that can affect the success of your store. What Do You Need to Start a Furniture Business 1. A Niche Decide specifically the type of furniture you want to sell. Identify your target market and research whether the style you're looking for will garner attention from the masses. For instance, if you decide on Italian contemporary furniture, check whether the area in which you are situated needs a source for such a style. 2. Proper Sized Store Find a store that properly accommodates your business, keeping in mind that the more spacious store you seek, the more rent you will have to provide. However, don't simply buy a small store just so you can stuff it with your products. A comfortable looking establishment allows customers to feel welcome and not overwhelmed. 3. Building and Location The appeal of your building and location can help bring in customers. For instance, if you are renting a new business, you will need to make sure that the exterior looks fresh and clean. As for location, try to locate an area where you will most likely be seen. Highly traffic areas can easily determine the popularity of your store. However, if you choose to rent or buy a store which is hidden from mass view, you will need to get some funds for marketing and advertising. 4. Determine Labor You will obviously need a workforce to keep up with the constant demands in business such as selling, organizing and maintaining the shipping process. Determining the number of employees for your store will give you the chance to divide the profit so that you can invest a substantial sum on quality furniture. 5. Source Cheap quality equals to a bad reputation. If you buy furniture from a source that offers cheap furniture, you may end up regretting your decision. Companies such as ESF Wholesale Furniture that enjoy exclusive rights of distribution from some of the best European furniture manufacturers are the only sources that can provide you with enough quality furniture to help you maintain your reputation as a trusted furniture store. Maintaining a furniture retail business is hard work. But with these tips and a little help from ESF Wholesale Furniture, we hope that we are able to help you in starting a business that will remain a success for the years to come. Furniture business is a major attraction to first-time business folk because of the high profit margins. And if you think about it, a furniture retail store is one of the biggest, most lucrative businesses out there. But then why is it that all of us have seen a furniture store pop up in our neighborhoods, at one time of another, and then promptly proceed to closing down a few months down the line? While there is no single formula to the success of a business store, some things are common among successful furniture sellers who manage to stand the test of time. As experts in wholesale furniture, we have worked with thousands of furniture sellers across USA and Canada and contributed to their success and longevity. Here's what we suggest all new furniture sellers should focus on: Learn More about the Market Find out what your customers need from high quality wholesale furniture? What are their design and style aspirations? Attract their attention and talk to them where they are present. Advertise in ways others don't usually think of, i.e. giving seminars, working with community centers, handing out fliers about European style furniture, etc. These tactics have worked for many of our wholesale furniture buyers in the past. Set Up Shop Whether you are selling online, in store or attacking the market on both fronts, make sure that your furniture catalogue is perfectly visible in the best possible light. Everything else takes backseat. The furniture must be arranged beautifully and the store/website must be arranged to make browsing easier. The ordering/buying process should be as quick and painless as possible as well. Carry Quality Wholesale Furniture There is no doubt that high quality furniture is what attracts buyers, while your sales skills help retain buyers, making them customers for life. Your advertising, selling and social skills might be on point, but if prospective buyers don't like what they see in your catalogue, then nothing can save the furniture store. So invest in high quality furniture and furnishings for your store, and build a reputation for providing the absolute best money can buy. Continuously update your collection depending on the time of the year and customers tastes. Offer them variety and they'll keep coming back for more!

As wholesale furniture suppliers for thousands of retail entrepreneurs, we are the biggest source of high quality European furniture products and their wholesale supplier of choice. Manage Inventory to Ensure Better Client Satisfaction The back of the showroom floor, i.e. the warehouse, is where all the action happens. While it is true that this is where the inventory is stored, the last thing a competent furniture reseller might want to do is spend hours in there trying to hunt down a particular product because a customer suddenly asked for multiple pieces! Select one good method of inventory management and stick to it. Make sure your products at the backend are always organized, so that sales are always lightning fast. Also, isn't it just nice to know where to find something when you need it? Group Your Products Together Place them by style, design, type, room etc. so you can get straight to the section where you know they'll be. For example, if you are looking for table lamps, you know if you have found one, you have found them all! Always keep the Aisles Clear Cluttered warehouses really don't serve any purpose, and can even make it more difficult to find products when you need them. Make sure that the aisles are clean and spacious enough for multiple staff members to walk through. This will help you make sales faster and ensure better staff satisfaction as well.

You will have to research the buyers in your location, their furniture needs, the sizes of their homes and family sizes, etc. Then you will have to make the actual selection, ensuring that your store can cater to their furniture needs. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind: Make Sure You Carry Basic Furniture for Every Room of the House Each family has specific furniture needs for every space in their house. Make sure you offer them viable alternatives: from affordable to extravagant; from contemporary to traditional for every room and let them decide the best options for themselves. They might want to hide the TV, or create a cozy reading nook and some great lighting options. Make sure your store can cater! Carry Complementary Pieces Your client may be a book collector and looking for an exquisite library, perhaps they need a TV cabinet, or maybe they want a TV cabinet in the bedroom. It's also a good idea to carry tableware that goes well with your kitchen and dining table furniture pieces. Make sure your buyers have access to complementary pieces that let them carry out their hobbies and activities! Never Compromise on Utility and Materials The furniture you select for your store must be made from the highest quality materials whether it's leather or fabric or wood. If you are catering to families, they will want durable products that can stand up to abuse by children, pets and guests, etc. On the other hand, if you know your clients are looking for high end furniture, they will be more than willing to pay for more delicate and better looking items. So pick between leather and chenille carefully, or better yet, carry one of both to ensure that all your clients have what they need right in your store. The Last Word Every piece of furniture in your store will not be the perfect fit for every prospective customer.

When it comes to building customer loyalty, bigger space isn't always better. Increasing sales and satisfying your customers depends on how well you market your products. Displaying poor quality furnishings can lead to a decrease in sales but with the right furniture, you can climb the ladder of success and carve a market niche. Proper planning and arrangements can go a long way when it comes to creating the right atmosphere, look and appeal of your furniture shop. With proper planning, interior and décor, small spaces can be made to appear spacious. This is where European furniture comes in. With its intricate designs, blended with a modern and traditional look, European furniture will give a homely but elegant appearance to your shop. In addition to this, it will create the illusion of a larger space without making your shop look overcrowded. Where to Begin It can be difficult planning a proper setting for your European furnishings but that does not mean it's difficult. With the right arrangements, you can make your shop appear larger and properly display your collection. Here are a few steps you can take: Keep it Simple Depending on the type of European furniture you're displaying, it is wise not to display two collections with each other. If you're displaying Spanish sofas, focus solely on them. Do not mix them with Italian sofa sets or any other style of Spanish sofas. If the collection you are displaying is traditional, focus on traditional fittings and not incorporate anything contemporary into the exhibit. Not only will that highlight two opposite styles, unless you have a collection that blends modern with traditional, your display will stand out negatively. Hidden Storage Surprise your customers with hidden storage. Not only does this make room in your shop, displaying furniture with hidden storage helps you cater to larger families. You can display dressers instead of side tables to encourage the idea of storage. Add Plants to Fill Up Spaces While keeping furnishings to a minimum, remember not to add small decoration pieces that can distract the customer and take the spotlight away from the display. Furthermore, avoid adding small furnishings because that will make the room look crowded. Plants help keep the customer focused on what's important: the exhibit. Adding plants will make the surroundings look more natural and add a homely feeling. Furthermore, it will help the furnishings blend into a more natural environment, without making everything look overdone.

Spanish furniture has carved a name for itself around the world because of its use of high quality wood for its furnishings. Known for its sofa-beds and its utilization of traditional and contemporary designs, it's become a consumer favorite for several reasons. Because of its impeccable woodwork and craftsmanship, displaying Spanish furnishings can help you boost sales and build strong consumer loyalty. If you are planning to invest in Spanish sofa beds, it can be difficult not knowing where to start. Since these are not ordinary collections, it can be hard finding the right way to display and highlight the features. However, it is not impossible. Here are a few things you can do to properly display your Spanish furniture collection: Install Proper Lighting Since Spanish furnishings are known for their vibrant colors and intricate structures, it's important to highlight all these features. Don't let your collection blend into the interior of the room. Instead, make sure you have proper lighting; if possible, make sure to place the lightings near the sofa sets. This will help highlight its prominent features. Keep it Simple, Not Crowded The last thing you want is to distract your customers away from the main display. By getting rid of any clutter and adding dressers, you will not only encourage storage space ideas, you will help your customers keep their eye on the prize. Another thing to remember is to not display décor pieces. These will hide the main display and distract the consumers. Don't use glass decoration pieces or antique vases. If you have to fill the left-out spaces, use artificial plants. These give a nice, simple look and won't avert your customers' eyes away from the exhibit. Create a Separate Display Placing the sofa-beds in the same room as other furnishings—especially bedroom sets—will make your collection invisible. This is because sofa-beds are supposed to be an alternate to bed sets. By keeping both in the same display, you risk both of the collections negating each other. Create a separate display for your sofa beds collection. This will help keep them in the spotlight and you will be able to highlight their features properly. We cater to different furniture vendors and retailers. If you are looking for wholesale European furniture in New York, feel free to contact us. Italian furniture has made a name for itself in the global furniture market because of its high quality collection sets. From beautifully crafted contemporary formal dining sets to modern leather sofas —there's isn't a collection Italian furnishings can't compete against. As a furniture expert, you know the value of Italian furnishings and how they can help build consumer loyalty, as well as boost sales. This is because the best craftsmanship goes into creating and structuring these collections. But many furniture retailers make mistakes when displaying European furniture which results in financial loss for their business. This is because European furnishings are of high quality and are in a complete class of their own. Displaying them in a similar manner as local collection sets will mask their intricate designs and beauty. So how can you highlight your Italian furnishings without hiding their intricate structures and beautiful designs? Displaying Italian Leather Sofa Sets Italy's furniture market is known for its leather products. Italian leather sofas have carved a name for themselves in the global market. This is because of their minimalistic but elegant look. The quality of leather used is exceptional and the wooden structure inside is made of the finest quality of wood in Europe. In order to highlight the features of Italian sofa sets, make sure to place them in a separate room. Keep the room simple as these collections use minimalistic designs and focus more on comfort. Make sure not to use any decoration pieces that will take away the spotlight from the collection. Instead, use artificial plants as a replacement for vases. Do not use carpeting, instead use a rug and place it in the middle. This will give the room a simple and clean appearance. Displaying Modern Italian Bedroom Sets Modern Italian bedroom sets are the epitome of elegance. They give the room a sophisticated, elegant look. Furthermore, their beautiful and stunning designs are what you want to highlight. The furnishings are built using the finest quality of wood and metal. Furthermore, the bed sets are waterproof and low-maintenance. When displaying Italian bedroom sets, make sure the room is not crowded with several wall units, décor and carpeting. Highlight the idea of storage space with a dresser and make sure the lighting complements the hue of the bed set. The bed should be kept away from the dresser or wardrobe and does not display a sofa set because that will distract customers. Furthermore, it will make the room look crowded. At ESF Wholesale Furniture, we ensure that our clients get the highest quality European furnishings for their furniture shop/showroom. If you are looking for Italian furniture in New York, take a look at our catalogue or contact us for further details. Most furniture retailers focus on the designs and framework of bedroom sets when displaying their collections. However, it’s also important to focus on the materials that come along with the furnishings. One of the most important aspects of bed sets that are often times ignored are the mattresses that come with them. Whether you’re catering to hoteliers or homeowners, it’s important to be consistent when it comes to quality. Customers rely on retailers to provide them with quality products that can last for years. Mattresses complement bed sets and make them appear comfortable and reliable. An empty frame will prove to be difficult for customers because they will not know whether the product will be comfortable and secure. Working with Dimensions If a bed is large and the mattress is slightly smaller, it can make the framework look out of shape. Even if the difference is small, it can change the way your collection looks. Therefore, it’s important to invest in the right mattresses and look into dimensions. This can help make your exhibitions look homely and inviting. Here are a few common mattress sizes and dimensions to be aware of: Bed Type Mattress Size/Dimension Twin 39 x 74 Twin XL 39 x 80 Full Size 54 x 74 Queen 60 x 80 King 76 x 80 California King 72 x 80 Common Mattress Sizes After noting the dimensions and which one works for which type of bed, it’s important to look further into the sizes in order to display your collections properly: Twin Bed Dimensions This mattress is the smallest size available in the market. It’s perfect for one adult or one child. The dimensions of the mattress are around 39 inches wide by 74 inches long. Twin XL Bed Dimensions This type of mattress is approximately 6 inches longer in length than a normal twin-sized bed. These are approximately 39 inches wide by 80 inches long. Full Bed Dimensions Full size mattresses are approximately 16 inches wider than their twin-sized counterparts. They are 54 inches wide by 74 inches tall. They’re perfect for children aged 11-15. Queen Bed Dimensions Queen size mattresses are wider than full size mattresses, providing more space and room for two people. They are also the most popular mattress size in the market. With the dimensions of 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, they’re the right choice to invest in when catering to hoteliers or homeowners. King Bed Dimensions King size beds offer the maximum amount of sleeping space. The dimensions are approximately 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. This means that by combining two XL twin-sized beds, you will get one king size bed. California King Bed Dimensions The California king mattress is approximately 72 inches wide by 84 inches long.

They want to create a dynamic look and add an individual personality to each room in their home or organization. The type of customer you're catering to plays a major role in deciding the type of collection you should display. Homeowners prefer something that can add a 'homely' look to their interior. Depending on their taste, they also want furnishings that can add a touch of 'elegance' to each room. In other words, they want to create a homely atmosphere but with a touch of luxury. Business organizations want something that can help them look professionally appealing to potential clients. Since workplaces use advanced technology and are required to keep up with their competitors, they want furnishings that can help them appear more sophisticated, creative and interactive. It can be challenging to cater to both types of consumers. This is where European furniture comes into the spotlight. With unique and complex designs, a fresh look with every collection, you can carve a market niche with each collection. The Advantages of Displaying European Furniture Keeping up with your competitors can be difficult if they have a strong customer following. However, it's not impossible. Since North American furniture reuses the same structures and patterns every few years, the designs can become generic. With European furniture, retailers don't have to worry about generic designs. Both Italian and Spanish furnishings blend modern with traditional designs, creating unique motifs and intricate structures. Retailers will find displaying these collections in their exhibits because: European Furniture Uses High Quality Materials From the high quality fabrics to the exceptional craftsmanship, European furniture manufacturers utilize state-of-the-art technology to create lucrative products for retailers. Every collection is created using brilliant woodwork, with intricate structures and a blend of contemporary with classical designs. European Furniture Adds Personality to Spaces Unlike local furniture, european furniture adds a personality to the interior. This is because the furnishings are crafted creatively and comes in stunningly beautiful colors. Italian furnishings use neutral colors and have a sophisticated look to their pieces while Spanish furnishings are perfect for adding color to living rooms and bedrooms. Furniture plays an important role in boosting productivity and creativity in organizations. It helps employees find their creative drive by offering inspiration through artistic and unique structures, and comfort through soft fabrics. But choosing the right collection to display in your exhibition can be difficult when catering to businesses. Since businesses have to keep up with the ever-changing technological trends, they need furnishings that complement their specialty. This is where contemporary European furniture comes in. \ The Beauty of Contemporary European Furniture Displaying the same designs every year will result in loss of customers and profit. Your customers need something unique and interesting that adds a touch of sophistication. One mistake retailers make when displaying furniture to commercial organizations is displaying collections that are lavish in baroque. Complex structures and designs are aesthetically pleasing but they can be distractive. European furniture uses the latest designs with simple structures that add a unique but sophisticated touch to the interior. One good example is of Italian furniture where even the most intricate design is minimalistic art. When displaying collections for professionals, it’s important to identify the target audience. The type of collection you are exhibiting depends on the type of business you are targeting. But as a general rule, you should use the following guidelines: \ Make Sure to Use LED Lights Where Needed Dim and dull lighting can hide the features of the furniture and interior. Avoid using yellow bulbs and energy savers. They create shadows and are better for highlighting small wall units. Using LED lights can create a brightly lit environment and help customers pay attention to details. \ Don’t Crowd the Room You may have many collections to display but when creating an exhibit for a specific set, it’s advised that you don’t crowd the room with different collections. Keep it neat and simple. If you are displaying tables and chairs, then you want to avoid distractions. Use artificial plants and not ornamental décor pieces. This will help customers focus on the furniture and not the decoration. \ Match the Wallpapers Wallpapers should complement the interior and furniture, not take the spotlight away. Therefore, make sure that you use simple wallpaper designs that complement the displays. This will help your collections take away the limelight and customers can focus on the details and structures, rather than the walls.

When it comes to furniture, some consumers prefer traditional and some prefer contemporary. Their choice depends on their requirements, and as a furniture retailer, you are aware of the value of both types of furnishings. Those who are homeowners oftentimes pick traditional and classical collections because of the elegant look they add to the interior. And those who work in a professional environment prefer to invest in furnishings that give workplaces a 'futuristic' look. But if your target audience is homeowners, a blend of classical and contemporary design will suffice; you could also go for something traditional. Spanish traditional furnishings are ideal for homeowners who are looking for something to boost their interior's appearance and create a warm environment. Furthermore, in addition to boosting the interior's appeal, traditional furnishings have a deep root of culture and traditions behind the origin of their designing. The Benefits of Spanish Traditional Furniture Spanish furnishings are known for their beautiful structures and unique designs. The patterns carved in classic Spanish woodwork are what make the collections beautiful. Whether it's bedroom collection sets or the beautiful, fun and creative sofa sets—Spanish furnishings are a category of their own. By displaying such eccentric but beautiful pieces, you will be able to boost your sales and carve a market niche. Here's how: Adding a Unique Look to Your Showroom By adding Spanish furnishings to your exhibitions, you will be offering something new and fresh to your customers.

This is why Spanish furnishings are popular worldwide. They use exceptional woodwork to create exquisite designs and structures. Every pattern carved into the collection sets is unique and different from other designs. Exceptional Quality Wood Most traditional Spanish collection is made from wood. Spanish furniture manufacturers use high quality wood to create their collections. From bedroom sets to dining tables, the remarkable woodwork is not the only beautiful aspect. The wood used is durable, resistant to moisture and does not chip around the edges.

This will make your display interesting, interactive and unique. At ESF Wholesale Furniture, we cater to all your European-style furnishing needs.

One of the first things customers look for when choosing furniture for their homes or business is the design. The structure—wood or metalwork—is what appeals to the eye. A piece of furniture does not have to be intricate or decorated with various patterns to be visually appealing. A simple, minimalistic look blended with contemporary or traditional craftsmanship is what makes furnishings aesthetically alluring. But there is another important aspect that most furniture retailers forget that can result in loss of profit. That is the fabric of the furnishings. The Guide to Furniture Fabrics In order to become a furniture connoisseur, you have to first understand the materials used to build furnishings. This is especially true if you’re marketing wholesale European furniture. European-style utilizes state-of-the-art machinery to create lucrative and interesting designs. The fabric that is also made using some of the best materials in Europe. Spanish and Italian furniture utilizes labor and technology to produce high quality collections. This is why their fabrics are some of the best in the global market. Here are a few things to consider when you’re investing in furnishings with high quality fabrics: It’s All About Variety: Choosing a specific design will only limit the type of collection you’re marketing. Your customers are different from each other. While your target audience is going to be specific, the choice of your customers will vary from individual to individual. It’s not necessary that a businessperson will like the same set as a homeowner. Therefore, choose from a plethora of options when choosing furnishings with beautiful fabric. You can even take help from swatches to find out the type of materials used. Never Compromise on Quality: The patterns and structures printed may look beautiful but that’s the second most important aspect of fabrics. The first thing to check is the quality of the material. If there are threads sticking out or if the texture feels rough to touch, you’re looking at furniture with poor quality materials. Check to see if you can get free samples for your shop. If the samples stay as they are and do not deteriorate, you’ve got a winner. Parachutes Often times retailers wonder how long the fabric will last. This is a tough question to answer because it depends how the furnishings will be used. But every fabric comes with a ‘rub-test’. A small machine is used to “rub” the materials of the fabric until it hits a certain number that is considered suitable for upholstery. This was method was developed during the WW2 for testing parachute fabric. If the materials are good to go, they can last for a couple of years. Make Sure it Doesn’t Warp When displaying furniture in your showroom, make sure the yarn of the fabric does not warp. This means that if the threads start sticking out and the cloth starts rolling up, you have a problem. Return the collection immediately and invest in one that does not warp. The yarn of the fabric should be durable, reliable and have a soft, smooth texture. When it comes to displaying furniture for commercial organizations or homeowners, nothing beats the class, and extravagance of European-style furniture.

Furniture business is a huge attraction for anyone looking to make a quick buck; but it comes with some serious challenges of its own. When selling huge pieces of furniture, especially European Style Furniture, it is important that you also get the capabilities to display and ship these in a professional manner. Here's how you can do that: Always Be Prepared for Secure Shipping For starters you should have accurate dimensions of your furniture. Don't just rely on your wholesaler to give you the stats. Instead take your time and measure everything as accurately as possible. Also, have the results ready in both metric and imperial units; your buyers may ask for either. The width, height, depth and weight must be noted for every piece of furniture. When selling an almirah, for instance, measure the space between shelves as well as the total height of the case. Show It Off Beautifully It is a good idea to not only arrange the decorative objects with your furniture, but also group them up suitably in vignettes. Create vignettes by grouping objects together on the wall, on top of a beautiful European style coffee table, grouping together chairs etc. around a garden area, etc. Arrange your furniture items, and decorative pieces and give your clientele a place to rest their eyes, stay and examine the pieces a while.
