Personally: Local Design Love
We spend A LOT of time sourcing special pieces for our clients’ dream homes, so having our go to places helps us hugely! We asked around the office for everyone’s favourite place to source from and why they love it! Hopefully, these pro picks will help you start your dream furniture list
Shannon – Muse and Merchant
If you love comfortable and stylish furniture pieces this would be one of my favourite go to places. I like that they carefully curate pieces from all over the world and that they source pieces for a variety of clientele at very reasonable prices. Comfort and beautiful design don’t have to be costly and I love that they select pieces that ooze cozy and stylish all in one. They have some of the most comfortable sectionals out there (I have often found myself melting into the Bradford sectional, so comfy) and I love that you can often customize the pieces to suit every sized room. The customer service is second to none, the owner and his amazing staff are always eager to help and guide me in the right direction.
Nav – Pottery Barn
Being known for its comfort, quality, style and value; Pottery Barn is a great place to get the perfect pieces to complete your home. They have a wide collection of neutral toned furniture and decor that suite any style and personality. If you’re looking to freshen up your dinnerware for the next family get together, Pottery Barn has got you covered with a versatile range of designs. From neutral to bold, they truly have something for everyone. Pottery Barn is up to date on trends and design styles, with an amazing collection of furniture and decor for your interiors. They also have your needs covered with storage, lighting and outdoor patio sets for your next BBQ! Speciality stores, Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen, offer kid collections that can furnish a nursery all the way to a college dorm.
VICTORIA – Crate & Barrel
Crate and Barrel is an all time favorite for me! Their trendy furniture and decor pieces along with their quality always exceeds my expectations. I find that their pieces are so versatile fitting any concept I’m going after. Each piece carries an air of modern yet timeless sophistication while still nailing the top interior design trends. They have a contemporary style that fits with modern and traditional styled interiors. Crate and Barrel is a go to for high end furniture and designer approved decor making it much pricier than sourcing from more cost effective furniture retailers. With their higher end pricing there comes some perks! Their warranty stands by the quality and workmanship of their products for five years, allowing you to return defects in materials or workmanship.
TAYLOR – West Elm
I always find myself going to West Elm first on my furniture search quests. I appreciate their timeless, modern, contemporary designs. The chic colours and simple styles are easy to add to any room in your home. You can find all your heart’s desires at West Elm, anything from rugs to sofas to lighting! With West Elm you’re getting what you pay for with their unbeatable quality. Furniture purchased here is an investment that will stay with you for many years to come.
CHERYL – CB2
Every season CB2 comes out with new and exciting products that I want, but have no room for, so I try to buy them on behalf of my clients instead! I enjoy an eclectic look in my home, and I find that their collection offers products that are visually interesting and opulent, while still timeless. I used to say that their products didn’t break the bank, but we have seen pricing go way up, as with every retailer, so that has been a big adjustment for us in regards to budgeting for projects. My current obsession is this dark blue wood bar cabinet, can’t get enough of the crimped finish and rich colour. So if you’re in the market for a bar I think I have just found your best option
