At The Chesterfield Shop, our mission is to make your vision for your home come to life. Whether you're revamping a single room or transforming your entire home, our design consultants are here to guide you every step of the way. Today, we’re excited to share the story of one of our wonderful clients, Camilla, and her experience working with our talented design consultant, Sandra.

Step 1: Initial Layout and Vision

Sandra’s journey with Camilla began with a rough sketch of her new home’s layout. By understanding the dimensions and flow of the space, Sandra was able to craft a detailed plan that reflected Camilla’s vision. This preliminary sketch was then transformed into a 5D planner, a powerful tool that allowed Camilla to see a more realistic representation of her future space.

Step 2: Choosing the Perfect Pieces

With a clear layout in mind, Sandra and Camilla selected the perfect pieces of furniture for the space. They chose a stylish sofa and chaise, complemented by elegant chairs, an ottoman, and bar stools that perfectly suited Camilla’s needs and preferences. Each piece was carefully selected to ensure it not only fit the space but also enhanced its functionality and aesthetic.

Step 3: Coordinating Fabrics and Leathers

Once the furniture pieces were chosen, Sandra guided Camilla through a diverse selection of fabrics and leathers. This step was crucial in coordinating the overall look of the room. Sandra’s expertise helped Camilla pick out the perfect materials that matched her style and complemented the furniture, adding a touch of elegance and cohesion to the space.

Step 4: Visualizing the Space with 3D Room Configurators

To help Camilla visualize the space more effectively, Sandra utilized a 3D room configurator. This advanced tool allows us to create a detailed, three-dimensional representation of the room. Unlike traditional sketches, 3D configurators provide a realistic view of how furniture and decor will look in the actual space. This step is crucial for understanding how different elements will fit together and ensuring the design aligns with Camilla’s vision.

Step 5: Adding the Finishing Touches

To complete the transformation, Sandra suggested adding a couple of carpets to tie the entire look together. The right rugs can make a significant difference in the ambiance of a room, and Sandra’s selections helped to unify the design, making the space feel complete and inviting.

The Result

The final result was a beautifully curated space that perfectly reflected Camilla’s personal style. We’re thrilled to share the pictures of Camilla’s new home, filled with our furniture and showcasing how Sandra’s design expertise brought her vision to life. A big thank you to Camilla for sharing these wonderful images!

If you’re ready to embark on your own design journey, our team of consultants is here to help. From initial sketches to the final touches, we’ll work with you to create a space you’ll love.

From cozy urban condos to sprawling suburban homes, Canadians invest time, effort, and creativity into making our dwellings uniquely our own.

Your home is distinct to you- and serves as personal sanctuary, workplace, and social hub (often all at once). This multifaceted use of living space has led to a growing demand for versatile, comfortable seating options. The Chesterfield Shop rises to meet this need with an extensive range of seating solutions designed to complement the diverse lifestyles of Canadian homeowners.

But What Makes the Right Seating Choice?

The Chesterfield Shop's approach to selecting the right seating considers factors such as room size, daily activities, family composition, and long-term comfort. Their team of expert consultants guides customers through this process, ensuring each choice enhances their living experience.

We believe the right seating can transform a house into a home. Our goal is to help customers find pieces that not only look beautiful but also support their unique lifestyle needs.

Sectionals: Versatility for Larger Spaces

Sectional sofas work well in homes with ample room and frequent gatherings. Their adaptability makes them ideal for:

• Accommodating groups of various sizes
• Providing comfortable seating for people of different heights
• Creating a cozy space for families, including pets

Sofabeds: The Ultimate Space-Savers

• Durable designs for high-traffic areas in main homes 

The latest additions to our sofa bed collection include two innovative power sofabeds from the Luonto brand: the Belton and the Kai. The Belton opens up and out with a remote control, while the Kai features a sliding-out motion that allows users to remain seated during transformation.

Chaises: Maximizing Comfort in Smaller Spaces

For those seeking a middle ground between expansive sectionals and transitional/traditional sofas, chaises offer an elegant solution:

• Ideal for small spaces, basements, and condos
• Available with built-in storage for added functionality
• Many feature removable ottomans for left or right configuration

The Chesterfield Shop has a knack for finding the perfect pieces for small-space seating. Versatile pieces like chaises offer the comfort of a sectional without overwhelming more compact rooms.

Feather filled upholstery furniture offers a comfortable and luxurious feeling. Our feather seating is soft, insulating and hypoallergenic. The feather and fibre blend of the cushion provides maximum comfort. Feather filled cushions are a full shape that conforms to your body and allows you to sink down into cushions for a relaxed and cozy experience.

Feather cushions will, by design, flatten, wrinkle and soften. We suggest you fluff these cushions same as you would fluff the feather or down pillow you sleep on. To help maintain the fullness of feather filled cushions here are some helpful tips:

1. Frequently Rotate and Flip - Turn the seat cushions and back cushions over and rearrange them so that the couch wears evenly.
2. Beating and Fluffing - Pick up the cushions, turn them over a few times and shake them to redistribute the feathers evenly throughout.
3. Bunching - With the fabric casing on, push the feathers around and bunch your hands together. If you want you can undo the zipper on the casing and place your hands on the tick lining and push the feathers around and bunch your hands together. When finished, set the cushions back into place. For a smoother look brush your hands over the cushions.
4. Vacuum with Caution - Do not vacuum your cushions on a high setting as it will pull the feathers out of the tick lining. With caution, please use the lowest setting available if you require to vacuum your cushions.

Feather wrapped cushions are encased in a down-proof cover however feathers will poke through from time-to-time. This is considered normal performance, and is not a defect.

The Chesterfield Shop team have just come back from High Point Market Spring 2024 show. High Point Market is North America's largest home furnishings trade show that takes place in North Carolina, with over 11 million square feet and about 2,000 exhibitors.

Despite the whirlwind pace and the sheer size of the show, we soaked up all the trends, styles, and inspirations. So, let's dive right into the top home furnishing trends for spring and summer 2024!

Bubbly Cushions and Round Shapes 
I can confidently say that round is the shape of the season. This trend has been showing up in the past year but is so strong and everyone is getting on board. The round shapes everywhere give an organic feel that ties into home furnishings is hard to ignore. There's something inherently inviting about round designs that instantly elevates the ambiance of any space. Whether it's a curved sofa, a circular coffee table, or playful bubbly cushions, these shapes add a sense of friendliness and harmony to interiors. 
 

Channel Tufting
Piggybacking off the first trend, channeling was spotted everywhere. Everywhere we turned, lines and channels greeted us, adorning a variety of furnishings with this distinct look. Whether done vertically or horizontally, the evenly spaced channels adds a touch of class and texture to familiar pieces such as chairs, ottomans, and sofas. From sleek and modern designs to more traditional silhouettes, channel tufting is a detailing technique to elevate the aesthetic appeal of furniture pieces.

Relaxing Earth Tones 
The earth tones including greens and browns that we saw in the fall are here to stay through the spring and summer season. In the fall they were rich and saturated, this season they are more mostly muted and subtle, offering comfort and relaxation. From deep greens to warm browns and an array of beiges, these natural hues evoked a sense of groundedness and tranquility, offering a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. 

While neutrals provided a timeless foundation, blues, yellows, and greens were accented, injecting bursts of energy into the overall aesthetic. A few bold suppliers seized the opportunity to make a statement with chic offerings such as green chairs or yellow sofas, infusing spaces with a sense of vibrancy and excitement.

Neutrals and Textures 

Neutrals and textures had a dominant presence at the spring market. We’ve moved away from the sea of grey and are now in a cloud of soft beiges and creamy tones, signaling a shift towards warmer, more inviting hue. From lush rugs to plush pillows and cozy throws, neutral textures took center stage, inviting visitors to indulge in tactile experiences that exuded comfort.  

In essence, the combination of neutral tones and textures make a harmonious blend of cozy charm. By combining the soothing palette of neutrals with the tactile richness of textured upholstery, the result is an inviting and stylish space that stands the test of time.  

Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking 
If you’ve ever watched the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada, then you know exactly where this is going. While florals may not be groundbreaking for spring, they are undeniably timeless and refreshing. There is an undeniable growing trend of ‘bringing the outside indoors’ and florals fit perfectly into that. While nature is in bloom, indulge in a floral print or two to bring this new season into the home. 

Mixing Fabrics 
Mixing and matching was everywhere. Tons of different fabrics were added to complement each other to achieve a unique aesthetic. From bold high contrasts to subtle harmonies, this juxtaposition of various fabrics creates dynamic visual interest that cannot be ignored! This emphasis on mixing multiple fabrics on one piece showcases that interiors are a touch of our personality and uniqueness that we can add to our life. 

All the Bells and Whistles
We’ve seen furniture get a big upgrade in the past few years. We’ve seen performance fabrics, new mechanisms, power reclining motion added everywhere, USB/charging ports, lights, but there’s a trend of suppliers adding more function and technology to their seating offerings. One supplier unveiled a new multifunctional recliner designed for sleep that has lift, zero gravity, massage, heat and lights. Another supplier showcased their latest line of modular sectionals with a console equipped with a built-in charger and speaker system, transforming the seating area into a 'sound lounge'. 

To summarize, High Point Market Spring 2024 showcased a diverse array of trends and innovations that are shaping the future of home furnishings. From organic shapes and textured upholstery to integrated technology and timeless florals, the market offered something for every style and taste. 

How exciting! You’ve decided on your new sofa or sectional and now to be sure it will fit beautifully in your home.

Determine the ‘path’ the furniture will take from the delivery truck to its final destination inside of your home, condo or apartment. Measure the height and width of every doorway, wall opening, hallway, staircase, stairwell overhang/ceiling height and elevator opening, interior height and opposite wall distance.

With over 7 decades of experience in delivering sofas, we can tell you that most of our pieces should fit in any place where we can stand it on its end.

Here’s a simple formula you can use to figure out whether or not there is sufficient diagonal clearance to do so:

1. Multiply the length in inches, by itself. for example, 84” x 84”
2. Multiply depth or height (whichever is greater) by itself. for example, 34” x 34”
3. Add these 2 numbers together and then find the square root by the pressing the square root symbol ( √ ) on your calculator. Round this off to a whole number.
4. Now add 2” to this number, this is the minimum number of inches in ceiling, height, needed to stand your sofa on end.

Therefore, 93” is the minimum ceiling height needed to stand your sofa on end and fit it into your home.

Our Expert Tips!

• Use newspaper or piece of paper to lay out the size of your sofa or sectional you’ll better visualize the size and fit in the intended area
• Measure the width of the staircase at its narrowest point and remember to take into account any handrails, moldings, bulkheads or light fixtures. If this distance is wider than the height of your sofa then it should fit.
• If you’re still in doubt; The Chesterfield Shop offers a Complimentary Check-Measure Service (at no additional cost to measure for you)

The holiday season is upon us, and it's time to update your living space into a cozy, warm and festive haven. No need to worry about updating your large furniture items, we're focusing on creating a stunning holiday space by focusing on the details. This year, let's explore the art of layering textures through throws, pillows, candles, and accessories to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Throws: Wrap Up in Warmth

One of the easiest ways to add a touch of holiday magic to your living room is through the use of throws. Opt for plush, knitted, or faux fur throws. Even better if its in festive colours like deep reds, greens, or classic whites. If you're familiar with The Hudson's Bay Company you will know their iconic striped blanket which is more than perfect for this season. To get that professional look, drape them over the back of your sofa or lay them across your favorite armchair. The softness and warmth throws provide not only elevate the comfort of your space but also instantly evoke a sense of holiday charm.

Pillows: Pile on the Comfort

Enhance the coziness of your space by incorporating holiday or even winter-themed pillows. Mix and match textures like velvet, wool, and embroidery to create visual interest. Choose pillows in traditional patterns such as plaids and houndstooth, or experiment with festive prints. A combination of solid and patterned pillows can bring balance and sophistication to your existing furniture, making it feel fresh and seasonal.

Candles: Setting the Ambiance

Candles are a timeless addition to any holiday decor. Choose a variety of sizes and styles to create a captivating display. Place them strategically on coffee tables, side tables, or even along on the mantel with stockings. If you're looking to add an extra bit of holiday cheer, you can choose scented candles with pine, cedar, cinnamon, or vanilla. The soft glow of candlelight not only adds a warm ambiance but also contributes to the overall festive atmosphere.

Accessories: Small Details, Big Impact

Elevate the holiday spirit by incorporating small, thoughtful accessories throughout your space. Consider decorative bowls filled with pinecones, ornaments, extra lights, stars or little figurines in the shapes of gnomes, deer or snowflakes. Introduce metallic accents like gold or silver candle holders, vases, or trays to add a touch of glamour. These small added details can make a big impact in turning your living room into a winter wonderland.

Layered Rugs: Ground the Space

Bring additional warmth and texture to your room by layering rugs. Consider placing a plush, soft rug over your existing carpet or hardwood floor. This not only adds a cozy element but also helps define different zones within your space. If you're an expert at decorating or wanting a very jolly space, you can select rugs that are in holiday-inspired colours or patterns to tie the entire look together seamlessly.

Greenery and Wreaths: Nature's Touch

Incorporate the beauty of nature into your holiday decor with greenery and wreaths. Place small potted evergreen plants in corners or use them as a centrepiece on a dining or coffee table. Hang wreaths on main doors or above your fireplace for a classic and timeless touch. The vibrant green hues and earthy elements will complement your existing furniture and infuse a breath of fresh, festive air.

Decorating for the holidays doesn't mean you have to overhaul your entire living space. By focusing on layering textures through throws, pillows, candles, and accessories, you can effortlessly transform your home into a warm and inviting haven. Embrace the season with these simple yet effective additions that will not only enhance the holiday spirit but also leave your existing furniture looking refreshed and ready for celebration.
