5 Best Furniture Stores in Ottawa that Offer Interior Design

August 24, 2020

“ A house is made of bricks and beams; a home is built with love and dreams”. 

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

We all have a vision for our home. Your home should be where you feel most comfortable and yourself. It should emulate the core of your personality. 

While it may be easy to dream up this vision in your mind, it is not always as easy to create it in the real world. In fact, the coordination of size, colour, and texture is a skill and talent that not everyone attains. 

A great way to bring your home vision to life is by hiring an interior designer

An interior designer is professionally trained and has the natural ability to understand your style, visualize the design in your home, and transform this into reality. By working with you one-on-one, your designer can help you choose the right furniture, placement, colours, textures, and accents to truly create your dream home. 

 

 

So why not start now? You may be wondering which furniture stores in Ottawa offer interior design services. 

While we at La-Z-Boy are proud of the interior design services that we offer, we also realize that our products aren’t for everyone. Before deciding on which furniture store will best meet your design needs, it is important to be familiar with all of your options.

This article will provide you with a list of the 5 best furniture stores in Ottawa that offer interior design. After reading this article you may have a better idea of where to start and which furniture store you’d like to embark on the process of interior design with.

1. Alteriors

Alteriors is a contemporary furniture store that offers high-end interior design services. At Alteriors, interior designers work with you one-on-one to create an aesthetic and personalized look in your home. 

You would begin by booking a consultation with an in-house interior designer to discuss your budget, vision, and style preferences. Next, the interior designer will visit your space to take measurements, begin making recommendations, and create a 3D drawing in which you can visualize the final product. 

Additionally, select products at Alteriors are customizable in size, colours, and fabrics. Based on a variety of options, you and your interior designer can make customizations to your chosen products to finalize the design. 

Once the design is complete, your interior designer will order the items, which take approximately 4 months to arrive. With this, a delivery team will deliver and assemble the products in your home according to the interior design layout plan. 

Interior design services at Interiors are complimentary with the purchase of furniture products. If you wish to take your home project beyond the scope of interior design, Alt Studio of Alteriors design offers home renovations.
