When it comes to long-lasting, timeless furniture, nothing beats solid wood.
It’s that belief that drives the team at Surrey’s Modern Home Furnishing, and one they’re proud to support.
“Approximately 95 per cent of our furniture – which is also Canadian – is made of solid wood only,” notes Harpal Singh.
Even better, recognizing that size, style and colour references are unique to each customer, customizable options are plentiful.
“Nowadays not only do people have different design tastes, but the sizes of their homes are also very different. While some need need smaller, apartment-size furniture, others have room to spare and appreciate larger pieces,” Singh explains.
Here’s what you need to know about creating furniture you love now and for years to come:
Step 1. Go Custom. Anyone who has tried to find the perfect sofa knows that locating the perfect piece is time-consuming. Furniture is an investment – you want quality that will last and a design that suits both your personal taste and your space, and colours and patterns that are fresh without being “trendy.” With Modern Home Furnishings’ customizable furniture, you can chose quality Canadian products then pick and choose exactly what you want – including 16 different stains, more than 100 fabric options, and several varieties of solid wood. “It’s challenging to find furniture, especially locally made solid wood furniture, but because we can help you select the size, wood variety and stain colour, we make it easy to create your perfect piece,” Singh says.
Step 2. Size Up … or Down. As more residents choose condominium and townhouse living, where space is at a premium, it’s important to choose a store that can provide access to all sizes of chairs, sofas and sectionals. Smaller homes, with fewer closets and storage spaces, also have many customers looking for furniture that does double duty. “We’re making all our beds with the option of storage, if desired, and in various configurations, like two or three drawers on each side, or two drawers on the footboard end with lift-up storage.”
Step 3. Talk Time. The many benefits of customizable furniture also mean it’s usually not available right off the showroom floor, so you need to give yourself a little lead time. The good news is that because most of the furnishings are designed and built right here in B.C., you’ll typically be enjoying your new sofa, bedroom suite or dining table in just four to six weeks. If your deadline is more urgent, earlier accommodation is possible. Delivery options are also available.
