As many of our furniture blog readers know, we at CORT are big fans of the home staging industry. A couple weeks ago we mentioned CORT would claim the top VIP sponsor slot at the Real Estate Staging Association international conference in Las Vegas this year. Well, the big event took place earlier this week (beginning Sunday Jan. 23 through Tuesday Jan. 25), and it was a great success. Home stagers from all over converged at the Treasure Island resort for three days of learning and networking with industry leaders. A panel of expert guest speakers enlightened the attendees on a variety of topics. Notable presenters included Dan Eason, Alice T. Chan and Jackson West, with a keynote speech by none other than Matthew Finlason of HGTV show The Stagers. Home staging topics ranged from inventory management, sales influence and growing your business, to creative discussions of color trends and use of accessories to make any home pop.

In many of our furniture rental blog posts, we refer to the broad selection of styles available in CORT’s huge inventory of rental and clearance furniture. We believe in good design and offering pieces that deliver in terms of both form and function. With such a diverse customer base, it’s crucial that we stock furniture pieces that suit many different tastes. Ultimately, we have American furniture designers to thank for dictating the interior style trends we embrace every day. The contemporary furniture design field is converging to discuss the state of the industry this month at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City. The series of panel discussions, called “The Home Front: American Furniture Now,” will run through April. It will be guest curated by Surface Magazine Editor-in-Chief Dan Rubinstein and feature speakers ranging from retail store owners to architects and educators.

The first discussion, featuring a round table of retail taste-makers, took place on Jan. 13. It was an opportunity for designers to understand how to get noticed by retail venues, in terms of …
