Upholstered Furniture - One of Life’s Overlooked Comforts

New article in Our Home Magazine. Whether we want to enjoy the pleasure of socializing with family and friends, curl up by the fireplace with a good book, or simply chill out in front of the big screen to watch a great movie, nothing is more important to our physical and emotional home comfort than the "right" piece of upholstered furniture. Just ask anyone without it!!

Cosy Ideas For Your Home

As we pull on our boots and begin to add layers of seasonal clothing, we trade our outdoor barbecues for festive gatherings around our dining room tables and snuggle up to watch our favourite movies. The operative word for this time of year is cozy.

Designers & Decorators - Help For Your Home

So, you want to renovate or decorate? Well, the good news is, "the world is your oyster." The bad news is, "the world is your oyster!"

No, it's not a misprint... or double-talk either! What I'm getting at is the fact that we are living in a world of infinite choice when it comes to building, renovating and decorating our homes, and while this is an exciting marketplace, the proliferation of products and experts to offer advice can quite frankly be overwhelming.

What They're Saying?

"Initially we were hesitant to contact an Interior Designer because we wanted our home to reflect our tastes and not someone else's. Contacting Turnbull Interiors was the best thing we could have done. They transformed our ideas into reality and turned our house into our home."

Linda & Bill Hutton, Barrie

"Irene has a knack of drawing out our feeling and likes. With her amazing team, she put together a room that gives us the warm cozy feeling we were looking for. Through conversations with both of us, Irene was able to determine the colours and styles we preferred wo we would feel calm and relaxed in our new space. Thank you Irene!"

Dave & Patty Wainwright, Barrie

"After 20 years our reception area was badly in need of an up-date. Irene was able to give us a new brighter, timeless look tht both our staff and patients are able to enjoy. It really looks amazing.
