Foreign Perspectives

If you looked at the basic type of furniture in living rooms in the 1960s and compared it to those in the 1990s you’d not have seen a whole lot of difference.

Sure, the styles had changed in that the 1960 era wooden coffee table might be a glass one (courtesy of improvements in toughened glass over those years) but you’d still have a couple of settees/chairs and a big cabinet to set the TV on in the corner.

That’s changed a lot in the last 10-15 years though. Nowadays you’re much more likely to find a TV wall mount rather than a cabinet to hold the TV (or home entertainment centre as they’re increasingly becoming). Likewise, many more people will consider cinema style seating to fit in with what’s truly become a home cinema system in terms of sheer screen size and sound quality and indeed you can even get popcorn machines if you want to really go overboard with it.

What’ll it be like 20 years from now though?
