There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint and some great new pieces to freshen up a space. In our EQ3 furniture gallery we decided to do just that. Newly painted crisp white walls allow the modern, clean line characteristics of the furniture pieces to take center stage.

We took this opportunity to rethink the showroom gallery, and have carefully chosen products that best represent the look and functionality that EQ3 is known for. Specializing in classic, affordable, modern design for every area in your home, custom options are available for the living room, dining space and bedroom. The upholstery pieces are proudly made in Canada, and most can be ordered in leather or fabric with leg style choices for a personalized look all your own.

In our EQ3 gallery, you can buy individual items, or complete product lines in the fabrics and finishes you want. Every piece of furniture we design and sell is highly customizable, and waiting for your personal touch. If all this choice makes it hard to choose, our designers can look at your paint colours, floor samples and room photos to help you create a look you’ll love. We can create an electronic diagram of your room, and show you various options for your space.

A Tip from Palliser Rooms EQ3 -

Palliser has launched an exciting new line of reclining chairs that are anything but ordinary. We loved them so much, we bought them all! A modern take on the timeless recliner, these styles bring a welcome fresh new look and direction to the recliner program.

Need some space?

Each new style offers two seat width size options allowing you to personalize your chair and stake your claim on it! If the room you have to work with is on the smaller side, a space saving wall hugger option is also available.

Power it up!

Add the power recline feature to fully optimize your comfort level. A simple touch of a hidden button puts you in the ultimate recline position for some serious relaxation. You simply move your hand on top of the hidden button that looks like a small coin, and the reclining mechanism responds to your touch.

Ready to rock?

Whether you want to read a great book, style your nursery, or take a nap, a traditional rocker recliner mechanism is available to soothe and comfort you.

Take a spin!

Take in the view outside, have a conversation, watch a movie or gaze at the fireplace all with the same chair. An exciting new swivel glider mechanism allows you a 360 degree view of your great room.

Or just have it all…

Why choose one feature when you don't have too. Order yours with the works: a power/swivel/glider recliner in your choice of fabric or leather.

Banff:  Simple clean lines, a conforming bucket seat and ergonomic foam cradle you in comfort.

Yellowstone: Small in scale but big on style with a box border bucket seat and luxurious top stitching details.

Chesapeake: Attention to design detail ensures this chair looks great from all angles including the side view.

Riding Mountain: At last a recliner that compliments your urban décor with modern lines and a sleek silhouette.

A hide a bed gains you only one thing, an extra bed in the house. Not even a comfortable one most often, just an extra raised sleep space. When people come in and ask for a hide a bed, I ask if they really, truly need the extra bed or not. When I ask the question, "how many times in the last 6 months would it have been used..." I usually get a blank stare and mumbled response of "maybe once?" Houses are larger, with more spare room options. We carry a fantastic line of wall beds that can serve this purpose of extra sleep space for the once or twice a year guest.

Hide a beds are often put into the most used room in the house, the TV room. It is important to have your BEST suspension under that sofa for years of comfortable seating, and so often people compromise that with a hide a bed frame, and a less than comfortable bed that is used once or twice a year. The new fangled blow up mattresses with built in frames that fold down small enough to fit in the linen closet would likely be a better option, and cheaper too. Inexpensive hide a beds are not comfortable to sit on and not comfortable to sleep on, so why do it if you don't need it? To get the good ones, there is a price tag associated with it, one that people often don't want to pay because "it is just in the basement". Consider your other options. Hidden beds are smart and savvy, and serve the purpose of a full size COMFORTABLE bed in single double and queen size, all up against a wall when not needed to allow space in the room for other things, like a workout room or home office. We carry ZZZ Chests, which are a wall bed style mattress hidden in a self supported beautiful chest, no need to screw into walls, and great for condos, basements or home offices. Traditional wallbed options are also available providing the best of both worlds for looks and space saving. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and we are here to help you navigate the solution to your home furnishing issue. If you determine that a bed is a must in your sofa, and you want a quality set that will last for years to come, come and see us at International Furniture Wholesalers. We have a new line of airbed hide a beds that will "blow" you away. The comfort level is fantastic, you would never know you are sitting on a hide a bed, and with a 10 year cushion guarantee, you will always have the best seat in the house. Set up is a breeze, inflating and deflating in minutes at the push of a button. Hundreds of fabrics to choose from, you are sure to find the perfect match. If hide a beds are the debate in your house, set up a time to discuss your needs with one of our product specialists at International Furniture Wholesalers.

Lets quickly explore the top 3 myths of why some clients will reject leather.

Myth #1 "Leather is hot and sticky!"

or "Leather is soo cold, especially for the basement!" Many people's experience of leather seating has been limited to the car. When the sun is beating down in a car, it can literally get hot enough to fry an egg on the dash, and of course the seats are going to be absolutely steaming. Same thing in winter...you never worry about hot buns, it is like sitting on an ice cube! Add to that, car makers are not using the highest grade leathers that breathe, and the backseat is almost always a vinyl. A good quality leather sofa set will actually breathe to some extent. If it is cool out, by the time you count to 6 seconds, it is warming to your body temperature, and is also going to disperse the heat. If it is hot out, with no air conditioning in the house and bare legs, you certainly can sweat and stick as soon as you sit down...but think of this. You are sweating whether you are sitting on leather or cloth. On leather, the sweat can be wiped off. On cloth, it sinks in, damages your foams, and is there the next time you place your face on the sofa to lay down. Enough said on that topic.

Myth #2 "We have pets and kids, leather is not in our future!"

 Cloth certainly can provide a great place for kids to roughhouse and mess around without worrying about scratches and damage in the same way as you would see on a leather set. Cloth also is definitely more budget friendly when there is a low limit set on what a client can spend. Of course, there are several downfalls to cloth. Pets can just as easily snag a cloth sofa with their nails as they can scratch a leather set. Once cloth is damaged or stained, it is all over with but the tears. Good quality leather is actually very hard to puncture. You may scratch it, you may scrape it, but it isn't easy to puncture, even with teeth involved. Different types of finishes on leather can lend more durability and have less noticeable scratching. Leather is wash and wear, and is a great choice for persons suffering with allergies, as dust settles on top and can be wiped off. Cloth retains dust and odors much easier. Many people think that they can just throw their cloth cushions in the wash, but it is important to really look at the care labels. Often you will void their warranty doing this, and I have had complaints of never getting the cushions to fit back on the foam properly due to shrinking. Lastly, repairs are lot easier on a leather set, often being barely perceived and maybe looking like a natural scar in the hide. Plus the area of the fix is actually stronger than the rest of the hide! Trying to sew up a hole in cloth is a futile venture, the hole often reappears as soon as there is stress on the fix. It takes a lot to truly damage a leather set. Small surface scratches are often only noticeable to the owner, the average visitor is not going to notice these things. Cloth does have the benefit of a softer feel, and it can add warmth and texture to the look of a room. There is maintenance required though, and high traffic, food eating areas may not be best suited for cloth. I get many clients who want to put cloth downstairs "for the kids", because of cost and no one really seeing it; yet this is the area they use the most in the house, watching movies, snacking with the kids and generally living on their set! Nothing can compare with the ease of care a quality leather set provides. Dog hair vacuums up in a jiffy, spills wipe off in a second.

Myth 3 "Leather is so expensive!"

Well, this is one that I can't really dispute. The only thing I can say is that good quality leather and a good quality cloth sofa are only going to be about 500.00 difference at International Furniture Wholesalers. If you are on a tight budget, I would much rather encourage my clients to look at a cloth set of decent quality with an easy to care for synthetic fabric than go with a very cheap bonded leather. Anything besides a good quality leather set is going to be disappointing as you lose all the great things about leather...the durability, the cleanability, and most of all, the breathability! The one thing I can say is...value. A cloth set wears out, a leather set just gets broke in. I find you get double to triple the amount of years out of a leather set compared to a cloth set. A leather set you can dress up and make look different just by different accents. A cloth set you may tire of and not be able to change the look up as easily, especially if you choose a pattern. A great compromise, and a very trendy look if you truly can't make up your mind is to have of bit of each. A cloth set can be dressed up with a beautiful leather accent chair, or a leather set can be finished off with a lively patterned accent chair and pillows.

Why Choose Leather?

Leather is a natural product possessing beauty, strength and versatility. It is an excellent lifestyle choice, is easy to clean and provides lasting value. Leather hides can be processed using a variety of methods and finishing techniques resulting in a product that can be used on all upholstery styles from relaxed, contemporary, classic and everything in between. How to Choose Leather? When making a leather choice, it is important to understand some basic terminology. Top grain leather comes from the outermost upper layer of the cowhide. The best top grain hides have been sorted into those with limited scratches, insect bites or other damage and can be minimally processed. This allows them to be used in a more natural form resulting in a softer hand and more natural character. Corrected leather is a common term which means that the surface of the hide was processed to provide a uniform look and finish. The end product won’t feel as soft but is exceptionally durable and affordable.

The consultants at Palliser Rooms have spent many years as professionals in the furniture industry and are dedicated to ongoing training and research in order to provide customers with accurate information and helpful advice. They understand that making a good buying decision begins with an understanding of the product and requires proper planning .

Marks from Wiseguys Trusted Tip

A mattress is the most important piece of furniture you will ever buy... because if you don't sleep right, you don't function right.

You can get away with a cheap T.V. or a cheap sofa and it won't affect your quality of life, but not sleeping properly will. When buying a new mattress, avoid all the gimicks and worry about 2 things only, comfort and durability. Two of the biggest gimicks to avoid are the 50% or more "off" sales and the free gifts.Those sales are off of there regular retail price and not the value of the bed. As an example, I had a bed that I retailed for $899 taxes included. The exact same bed was being sold at 70% off at another store. Their "retail" price was $3200. Unfortunitly, people fall for this type of advertising all the time. Do houses or cars or boats go on 50%, 60% or 70% off sales? Then why would mattresses? The same principal works with the free gifts. Often the cost of this gift is worked into the retail price of the mattress, or the free gift is valued far more than it's worth. These are just some of the smoke and mirror tactics that some retailors use to get you into their store. Why is it that these sales are always going on at certain stores, or that some stores have a flyer every week always saving 50%? Unfortunatly because it works on people. They are hoping that you are not aware of what you have just learned.

Again,at the end of the day you should only be worried about 2 things.. comfort and durability. So what have we learned today? That price or preceived savings or free whatever IS NOT a indication of quality or comfort.
