Rise in Furniture Orders Shows Continuing Strength of Home Improvement Market

by Freedonia Industry Studies

September 3, 2020

The home improvement market continues to be a bright spot for the US economy as homebound consumers continue to seek out ways to change the appearance of their homes. In addition to larger scale DIY projects – such as installing decks or converting rooms into home offices and gyms – homeowners are also fixing their homes by a more simpler method: buying new furniture.

Indeed, a recent article – showing that orders of furniture in June 2020 were up 30 percent compared to last year – should be considered surprising only because of the size of the growth and not simply because orders had shown an increase. Many homeowners have spent a lot more time in their residences, and one of the results is that people have had more time to decide that the old couch needs to go – and that now is the time to pick out the new one. New furniture can be much less costly and labor intensive than home improvement projects (especially those of a DIY nature), while still providing homeowners with a much needed change in the look and feel of their homes.
