    Home-furnishing lines are reflecting the same Latino influence showing up in home design lately.

    Among those already out there are the Casa Cristina collections of furniture and home furnishings, brand-named for the Cuban-born media personality Cristina Saralegui. Since 1989 she’s been the multiple-Emmy winning host of ‘‘The Christina Show,’’ her Spanish-language TV talk show on Univision, and she also has a radio show and a monthly magazine.

Saralegui has also produced lines of furniture and lighting, ranging in style from airy and modern, to heavier traditional. (more…)
