Your showroom is more than a display—it’s where your perspective comes to life. And when curated with intention, it becomes one of your most powerful sales tools.

This energizing session with our trend experts, in partnership with Home Furnishings Association, explored the merchandising shifts reshaping furniture and home retail. Together, we decoded the undercurrents, surfaced what’s quietly gaining momentum, and shared ways to turn those insights into spaces that spark connection—and drive results.

From visual storytelling and layout strategy to color, material, and lifestyle forecasting, the session examined how today’s most forward-moving retailers are shaping experiences that feel fresh, human, and irresistible. Whether planning a full-scale refresh or making small but meaningful updates, attendees walked away clearer, more confident, and ready to make their next move.

· Identify the key merchandising trends influencing consumer expectations and furniture-buying behavior—and understand why they matter now
· Transform Future Snoops' insights into compelling showroom stories that feel both strategic and uniquely yours
