UAE-based luxury furnishings retailer 2XL Furniture and Home Décor said it plans to expand its presence in the country this year and introduce new modern designs in all the emirates.

The retailer currently has eight showrooms across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah and Al Ain.

The 2XL product range includes exclusive bedroom, living and dining room furniture as well as décor items, unique gifting ideas, plush rugs and wall art, bed and bath linen, tableware, and a fun, functional kitchenware range, said the company in a statement.

Amit Yadav, the marketing manager at 2XL, said: "Following the opening of two new outlets in 2016, this year too we will add to our growing presence with an additional store in the UAE, taking the total number of 2XL stores to nine."

In 2016, 2XL opened a new outlet in Mushrif Mall Abu Dhabi, and its first ever shop in Fujairah in Fujairah Mall.

"We also plan to introduce new modern designs based on customer feedback. Our customers demand unique exclusive pieces that reflect a distinct lifestyle," stated Yadav.

"Our product range is updated almost every month so that there is something new to look forward to. We have something to suit every home – from ornate gold-plated bedroom settings to the more subdued Parisian hues of shabby chic, quirky contemporary inspirations to more ethnic Eastern-inspired décor ideas," he added.

According to him, nature-inspired colour patterns, and antique styles adorned with modern embellishments, will dominate the trends in 2017. Compact and space-saving furniture will also be in demand, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
