Additionally, customers are seeking furniture that is aesthetically pleasing and fits well with the overall design of their homes.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Home Office Furniture market in Puerto Rico is the rise of multi-functional furniture. As space is often limited in homes and apartments, customers are looking for furniture that can serve multiple purposes.
