Senior Living Furniture That’s Comfortable, Contemporary, and Innovative
February 15, 2021Senior living communities are no longer relegated to end-chapter, institutional facilities. Instead, retirement communities are evolving into active communities with vibrant atmospheres, numerous activities, and continued care amenities.
Senior living interior designers play a crucial role in creating innovative and supportive environments that no longer lack color but instead embrace it, while also using safe yet contemporary furnishings.
While many companies provide a few stellar options in healthcare furniture, Beaufurn offers the comprehensive Healthcare Collection, including lounge and dining collections as well as casegoods.
“The Senior Living Collection by Beaufurn offers a full senior living complement for a whole facility concept,” says owner Bill Bongaerts.

Beaufurn is ready to partner with architects and interior designers to create welcoming, modern designs for consumers ready to move onward!
We have listed predictions for design trends in 2021 and welcome you to join in our anticipation by sharing your own thoughts.
Beaufurn Looks Back at This Year’s New Furniture Designs
December 15, 2020The design industry faced a challenging year, but not one without optimism and certainly not one lacking in great commercial furniture offerings. In retrospect, the new furniture products in Beaufurn’s 2020 lineup fit perfectly with key trends in the furniture industry, including designs that are eco-friendly, flexible, playful, and bold.
Of course, sustainability has always been part of our design process, and one we will continue to embrace in the future. We incorporate sustainable practices company-wide and utilize eco-friendly materials in the production of our products.
With the year ending, we are offering a retrospective on the new furniture products Beaufurn created in 2020 that were not just trendy, but beautiful and classic products that appeal to numerous audiences. Italian, French, and Belgian influence is evident in our clean lines, novel shapes, and varied color palate.
From our side chairs and barstool to our lounge chairs, our new furniture in 2020 will likely continue in popularity for years to come.
Virtual Tours: Design Trade Shows Re-imagine Hospitality
December 4, 2020Every year, we look forward to attending HD Expo in Las Vegas, then Neocon in Chicago, and BDNY in New York. There are other shows, of course, but these are typically the big hospitality showcases in which Beaufurn participates.
This year, however, was a year of not-so-typical trade shows and exhibits. So, we adjusted, pivoted, and reimagined how to showcase our hospitality furniture to thousands of “visitors” unable to physically visit these expos.
The design industry has had to reimagine how it showcases its products and creative services while in quarantine. The “new normal” is now design revealed through webinars, virtual tours, digital showcases, and online conferences.
The Office Changes | Workspace Design Evolves
September 22, 2020Current global events are changing the way the world goes to work. For some, the office is now the dining room table or some other room at home that has been converted for new duties. For others, they are traveling to the office at some limited capacity with on and off days or limited hours, and for other small businesses, maybe the office is the same but sanitizing stations and mask reminders are prevalent.
It’s not surprising that work looks different, but how can we still feel connected within this new setting? It’s challenging for managers and employees to remain engaged.
Designing Educational Spaces
August 3, 2020Child engagement is essential when designing children’s spaces, but safety is the number one priority. Children’s spaces need to be easily cleanable, ergonomically proportional, as well as solid and sturdy for safe design. When considering furniture pieces for children’s spaces, soft seating is king in early childhood education or pediatric environments, and the perfect solution is here with the Queue Collection by Beaufurn.
College Furniture Solutions for 21st Century Challenges
July 8, 2020While most discussion around students returning to college campuses centers around online learning versus in-class instruction, there is also concern regarding how to keep students safe on campus in general — in college lounge areas, cafeterias, and dormitories.
College and institutions of higher learning will rely on federal and state guidelines to determine best practices for public health, they will need designers to help them change shared spaces and common areas to focus on less dense use.
