IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU

Customizable options maximize personal style

Afresh new look at Accents Home Furniture is making it easy to personalize your home’s style. The North London retailer, recently reopened under new ownership and management, is showcasing a passion for assisting customers to fulfill their design dreams.

The revamped 14,000-square foot open-concept showroom is being lauded by customers and sales representatives as the most beautiful furniture showroom in the city, says general manager Anthony Fernandez. “It’s been created by expert designers to reflect the latest trends, as well as classical and traditional designs – in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.”

Customers can browse through furnishings for any room – from living room to bedroom to home office – choosing from a wide range of furniture brands that incorporate quality construction and upholstery. “We specialize in high-quality custom furniture at competitive prices,” Fernandez says. “Choose your fabric; choose your leather; choose your colour; choose your sofa configuration. We have thousands of samples to choose from, as well as sofa or sectional configurations to fit the dimensions of the rooms.”

Ninety per cent of Accents’ vendors are Canadian, many with manufacturing based in Toronto, Quebec, Winnipeg and British Columbia. The store includes an extensive display of product from Palliser, one of the country’s oldest family-owned and operated businesses; it was founded in Manitoba 78 years ago.

Artwork and a variety of accessories – reflecting materials, styles and configurations to suit customers’ lifestyles – are also on display.

Customers are aided in making their choices by a knowledgeable and designoriented staff. “We have moved to an allaround customer-centred business model,” Fernandez says. “Our staff members offer top-notch customer service, along with expert design advice.” Professional consultations are available in the home as well as in the store. 
