We are absolutely delighted to have Art Van Furniture become the official home of HGTV HOME Furniture Collection in the state."  

The new HGTV HOME™ Modern Heritage furniture line offers a fresh take on two timeless styles, Modern and Classic, for individuals who appreciate traditional grace combined with contemporary touches. The Fresh Modern furniture in this collection blends refined forms and neutral colors with the vibrant energy of sophisticated palettes and geometric shapes. The pieces are sophisticated yet practical for everyday living. The Fresh Classic furniture is an evolution of time-tested style that incorporates elegant and sophisticated, as well as subtle and understated, design. The versatile classic line incorporates modern touches, such as wingback chairs in bold, modern patterns.

The company's Woodlands line refines rustic cottage style and is ideal for a suburban home or a cozy lake retreat.  The multifunctional collection for the bedroom, dining room and living room puts some fresh twists on the classic cottage style. Menswear-inspired upholstery fabrics lighten the overall effect of dark rattans and rugged, well-worn finishes possess tailored touches.

The HGTV HOME Modern Heritage and Woodlands lines are both available in ten Art Van Furniture stores, including Royal Oak, Novi, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Saginaw and Alpine.  The Woodlands collection can also be found at the Art Van Furniture stores in Westland, Traverse City, Petoskey, Port Huron, Taylor, Drayton Plains and Holland.
