2. Design Within Reach
Seattle, WA 98101
USA
(206) 443-9900
Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Home Decor
Neighbourhood: Downtown
My 500th review!
Perfect milestone for one of my favorite stores... yes, there are a ton of people complaining about "within whose reach?" when talking about DWR, but if you're in the market for authentic mid-century modern and want good customer…More »
3. Inform Interiors
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A4

Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Home Decor
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I initially reviewed Inform a year ago when hubby and I were in the midst of shopping our house... now that my furniture has arrived, it's worth an update (most of the reviews are window shoppers).
I love Inform/B&B Italia for their style and because…More »

I totally love this store. It's a great source for all things modern... and they're original… Read more »
4. The Container Store
Me with OCDness + the Container Store = a match made in heaven!
I *huge puffy heart* love the Container Store! I wish we had them in Canada and it's always a treat for me to come to the nearest one in Bellevue. Never walk out of one of these stores…More »
5. Bravura Interiors
Vancouver, BC V6B 1V3
(604) 872-4880
Categories:
Furniture Stores,

Neighbourhood: Downtown
The store is a little cramped, but it's a wonderful place for more affordable Italian designers. They carry some of my favorite contemporary brands like BDI and Calligaris, sleek Italian couches, etc... They do have some "inspired" pieces (another…More »
6. Inspiration Furniture

Writing this while vegging on my fabulous leather sectional from this store!
Inspiration is a great store - huge showroom with many design lines and also a variety of price points from their own lines to mid-range contemporary like Catellan and BDI,…More »
7. Ginger Jar Furniture
The fact that I'm willing to trek out to North Van to browse and shop here speaks volumes because I hate the bridge!
This is one of my favorite furniture stores in town - generally contemporary but with nice warmth. One of the few showrooms with…More »
8. Restoration Hardware
Vancouver, BC V6H 3G7

Categories:

Furniture Stores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I love this store - I remember when it opened years ago when I was a poor student and I would come into drool... LOL, now as a working person, I still come into drool and occasionally pick something up!
Prices are quite moderate to high here - it's…More »
9. Industrial Revolution

Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I love this store!
Service is good when I go in. They carry a great line of indoor/outdoor furniture and great accessories at the back. Many contemporary brands are here including BDI, Calligaris, etc... and great decor items with a lot of clean and…More »
10. Home Delight
3.5 stars.
There's a mix of Asian-made and European-made furniture here and it's the only Calligaris retailer in Richmond. The store has a good contemporary look but there are definitely some weird items here - seriously, who wants a 9 ft tall horse…More »
11. Livingspace
Vancouver, BC V6J 0E4
(604) 683-1116
Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
In my never-ending contemporary/modern furniture shopping quest, LivingSpace was another one of the stops I hit... very similar lines to Inform, but their prices were higher for the same piece and service was worse.
There were definitely pieces I…More »

Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
If only changing furniture was as easy as changing shoes, I wouldn't be obsessing so much about buying for the house!
I come in here periodically trying to appease the husband and bring down the cost of furnishing our place. Much to his dismay, I…More »

3.5 stars.
This is a chain with a few locations in the Lower Mainland. Contemporary style and OK quality. They have a few lines here like Calligaris and Elite and other design lines are quite clean. Leather is moderate in quality. The pieces…More »
14. Pottery Barn
Vancouver, BC V6H 3H8
(604) 678-9897
Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I'm a contemporary gal at heart so Pottery Barn generally doesn't do it for me. I've picked up a few decor items over the years - I totally love their seasonal items. Good quality and very tasteful... one of my fave stops for Christmas decor.

15. Nood Furniture & Design - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6B 1A7

Category:
Home Decor
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I've been making treks to the major contemporary/modern stores in town while trying to furnish our new place... I was a bit disappointed with this place. The layout is quite cramped and almost everything is a knock-off of a major modern designer.

16. Mobler Furniture
In desperation to find a chaise that both hubby and I could agree on, we stopped in here to have a look.
I would consider it for staging or if you're on a budget but I personally wouldn't put their furniture in my home. To keep prices down, Mobler…More »
17. The Brick - Urban Brick
Vancouver, BC V6H 3G3
(604) 734-7963
Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I wonder if someone in their marketing department told the Brick that by putting the word "Urban" in front of the store name, that it will make the furniture more appealing?
Hmmm, I think not!
Instead of regular poor quality and unstylish furniture,…More »
