Home furnishings stores have struggled to generate revenue growth over the past five years. Shifting consumer spending patterns have propped up e-commerce sales over traditional brick-and-mortar stores. A spike in furniture and home furnishing sales at the onset of the current period was short-lived; interest rate hikes pushed up mortgage rates, making moving prohibitively expensive and suppressing new home buying and construction. Many consumers stayed put in smaller residences or with roommates, consolidating demand for new home furnishings. However, many consumers unable to move turned to refreshing their current spaces, leading to a rise in private spending on home improvements and offering a minor boon for home furnishing retailers. Still, revenue has slumped at a CAGR of 1.5% over the past five years to an estimated $69.9 billion in 2026, including an expected 0.6% decline in 2026 alone.
