Divine design at the Great Room

If you're a fan of the design shows on TV, then you'll also like this store on Oak Street in North Bay. The Great Room opened five years ago and has been bringing in fresh, contemporary design ever since. Stylish couches, chairs, beautiful table lamps, coffee tables, artwork... The Great Room is jam-packed with inspiration! In addition to what's on the floor, you should also make sure to browse through the store's many product catalogues and fabric samples. Start imagining that special piece that will make your home shine...

Coffee table in limed wood. This wood finish

gives the piece a slightly worn, weathered
look, that goes well with other natural materials.
Combine it with a linen or cotton-upholstered
couch or armchair, rustic pottery and glass. $770.

Console table in the same limed wood finish. 

This would be a great piece for an entrance

(practical with the drawers), or a living room 

$610.

Pottery is great if you want to introduce some

movement and flow, especially if your room

feels too square and symmetrical. This piece

has a beautiful shape. $131.

Armless chairs are ideal when space is tight. 

By foregoing the armrests, the chairs look

lighter. This might be desirable if you already 

have a lot of chunky, large furniture in the

room. $825 each.

A classic Bergère chair. This piece has

a pale, striped upholstery which gives it
a fairly casual appearance. I love the mix
of classic (the chair, which dates back to
the 1700s) and modern (the understated
upholstery. An oversized floral pattern
would also have an interesting effect).
$1140 for chair and ottoman.

Look twice! There is actually a chair

behind the pillow, and it's very similar 

to the iconic Ghost Chair. This version

is called Casper and costs $310.

Ottomans are a good alternative to coffee tables.

They can easily double as extra seating if you are

hosting a large crowd. They can also add some 

colour and pattern to a room. I love the graphic 

print of this piece. $807.

Simple, clean and effective! 

Pillows $62 each.

Interesting base on this table fixture.

If you have other circle motives in your

room, this is your lamp (or even if

you just like the shape of it). $125.

The shiny surface of this lamp will

make the light in the room bounce 

around. That's especially desirable in 

a darker, smaller space. $224.

I love the shape of this table lamp.

$196. 

This sculptural pedestal table would 

look fabulous in a big entrance. Just 

add a bouquet of fresh flowers on top.

You'll be smiling every time you come

home. $180.

Summer is almost here and it's time to say 

"hello" to bright, happy colours. Changing

throws and pillows according to the season

is a good way to always keep your home

feeling fresh and up-to-date. $55.

Every gorgeous home needs a beautiful 

mirror. $350.

The Great Room has some great 

fabrics. Check out these for example:

This Parson-inspired chair has timeless

style. "Pedro" dining chair in leather. 

$170.
