    Purchasing from Us!

    Benefits of Purchasing as a Set There is great value in purchasing a set vs buying individual pieces. Whether it is a couch and love seat, or a mattress and a box spring - there are many reasons to get the matching pair. When talking about a mattress and box spring we constantly get asked just for the mattress without the box spring. A common misunderstanding is that the box spring will last forever and does not need to be replaced. Not only does the box spring wear with time, the mattress is made for a specific box spring and the warranty depends on it. How Your Warranty Works The validation of your warranty depends on the mattress sitting atop the matching box spring. The manufacturer creates these two pieces together for a reason. The main reason being that the box spring is made to support the mattress that was made for it. To validate your warranty you should have the mattress on top of the matching box spring. When purchasing a sofa

    Livingroom Care Guide Tips

    The living room is one of the most used place in your home. Whether you’re relaxing after a long day, grabbing a quick bite to eat and watching the game, or entertaining guests, your sofa or sectional will be well used. That doesn’t mean your sofa needs to appear worn. Follow this care guide to keep your living room furniture looking as new as the day you brought it home.

    Daily maintenance

    Most living room upholstery can easily be wiped down. Grab a clean, dry white hand towel or lint brush and wipe down the entire sofa. This will break up dried-on spots and remove bits of food or dirt caught up in the corners. If you have pets, this method also helps grab pet hair caught on the surface. Placement in your home also plays a big role. Most fabrics, especially leather, fade when kept in direct sunlight. Consider moving your sofa around to avoid direct light, or cover those areas exposed to direct light with a throw pillow or throw blanket.

    Dining Comfort

    When the family gathers to share food and laughter, the dining table stands at the centre of it all. Whether handmade, purchased, or inherited and steeped with history, the table holds special significance to families, particularly at holiday time. It's where memories are made.

    There was a time when many of us had a dining room with an imposing wood table, matching chairs and matching buffet. But today’s aesthetic is less rigid and more relaxed – all that dark matching furniture is overwhelming and looks dated. So how can you create a dining room that is special, fresh and never boring? One great way is to focus on your chairs.

    Upholstery. Upholstered dining room seating is comfortable and adds colour and style to the room. If you have the option to reupholster existing chairs, consider something daring – toile or an animal print or a bold geometric. It can take a matching set from drab to fab! Bench Seating. Bench seating works well in a laid-back dining

    Features & Benefits of using Recliners

    Easy-Off Backs

    This unique feature saves space and reduces weight when transporting your recliner. The easily removable back makes the furniture much easier to move, whether across town or across the room. Standard on recliners, sofas, love seats, home theatres, and most sectionals

    Off the Wall

    Our innovative mechanism allows the chair to fully recline even when placed within inches of a wall. This design provides greater decorating flexibility and a more efficient use of floor space. 1) Great for high traffic areas and small spaces- Reclining sofas work well in small or awkward spaces that see a lot of traffic because they give every family member or guest their own personal seat they can be comfortable in – without cluttering the room! This allows easy navigation around a room without having to overcrowd the space with extra chairs or seating options. 2) An entertainer's dream- If you're interested in inviting friends over, reclining sofa's are ideal for enterta

    Benefit of an Area Rug

    The Benefits of Rugs

    Which Benefit of an Area Rug is the Most Important One for YOU?
    There are so many great benefits of rugs... it may be hard to pick just one feature over the others. Beauty:  Area rugs are a great way to personalize your home or office environment. They add color and artistic expression, whether you want it to be mild or wild! And, rugs certainly help to define the mood or character of a room. There's only so much you can do with walls, but there's almost no limit when it comes to using rugs as part of your decorating plans. We like to describe rugs as practical, functional art for the floor! Comfort:  Who hasn’t enjoyed the feel of a good rug underneath bare or stocking-covered feet? A hardwood floor or floor tiles may be nice but they just can’t match the comfort of an area rug. Rugs can also give a room a warm, cozy and inviting feeling for you and your guests.
