How To Recognize German Living Room Furniture And Where To Shop For It In The UK

Not only has German living room furniture become incredibly popular over the last decade, it has also gained outstanding world reputation and is now considered a hallmark of practicality and taste. Furnishing your living room with German furniture showcases your status, as, despite its seeming simplicity, it projects a distinct aura of respectability and wealth.

Traditional German furniture has always been characterized by incredible sturdiness and durability; also, it has always featured less decorative elements than its French and English counterparts. While looking a bit chunky and heavy set, traditional German living room  furniture is second to none when it comes to creating an atmosphere of domestic comfort and security. Modern German living room furniture has the same feel, although its overall look has changed over time. All in all, German living room furniture is characterized by:

Straight and simple lines

Contemporary German living room furniture features straight lines, simple shapes and smooth surfaces. Unlike minimalistic Scandinavian furniture, which is also quite simple and feels a bit casual, German furniture looks sturdy and dignified and creates an atmosphere of comfort and wealth in any given living room.

Complete absence of decorative elements

German living room furniture is purely functional and has no decorative elements whatsoever.  As mentioned above, the surfaces are clean and simple. Still, the aesthetic effect is achieved by beautiful wooden textures, which add a touch of coziness to a modern living room. As for glossy German furniture, such solutions are available in stores as well, and, needless to say, their look is also impeccable.

Light colour palette

Another distinct feature of German living room furniture is light colour palette of upholstery and frame, which make the entire living room look bright and cheerful. However, it is possible to find dark German furniture with anthracite effect, which will  look equally stylish.

High quality construction materials

German furniture is usually made of high quality natural woods such as beech, oak, walnut, mahogany and fuit woods. It is also possible to find cheaper MDF units, which will still feature great assembly and exceptional build quality.

If you want to buy German living room furniture, you can always contact manufacturers directly, or shop online in German stores, which deliver across the EU. The downside to ordering furniture directly from Germany is that shipment and delivery will probably take up a considerable amount of time. The solution would be to look for German brands in big local furniture stores, which cooperate with European manufacturers.

An example of such store in the UK is Furniture in Fashion . This e-commerce platform offers an extensive selection of German and European furniture from the most trusted and reliable suppliers for reasonable and affordable prices. The store has its own staff of couriers and vehicles to ensure swift delivery to any corner of the UK. Moreover, 90% of units you will see on their website are available in stock, and you can always check them out in person, if you visit company showroom in Farnworth.
