Did you know Canadians spend an average of $1,124 per year on household furnishings? If you want to buy new furniture for your home, you’re probably looking for a single resource that lists the best furniture stores in Ottawa.
As a manufacturer and retailer of home furnishings for over 90 years, we at La-Z-Boy Ottawa and Kingston often get asked our opinion of other furniture retailers. While La-Z-Boy has some excellent home furnishing options, we also understand that we may not be for everyone. To that end, we’ve compiled a list of 10 of the top furniture stores in Ottawa alphabetically.
As you evaluate the various retailers and brands, remember that buying high-quality or low-quality home furnishings is only half the equation. The local furniture company you will do business with is responsible for the successful delivery and installation of your new items.
Furthermore, they provide supplementary services such as design and post-purchase support that will impact your overall experience, which we will cover throughout each section.
