Hibernating, Cocooning, Retreating?
 Whether
it’s the frosty climate or the chilly economic
situation, we are all looking for comfort and solace.
Our homes are our refuge, a place to hunker down
and recharge. "Mid pleasures and palaces though
we may roam, be it ever so humble, there's no place
like home."
If your impulse is to hibernate then why not do
it in style? This month is devoted to the Bedroom.
We have an article on creating your own retreat
at home where Ottawa's top designers give you their
tips and tricks. We also continue our monthly segment
"Q& A with the PVL Pros" and we have
a feature article on BDI. After starting with a
single coffee table design, BDI has grown to be
a force in contemporary home furnishings and an
industry leader in home theater furniture. With
the bedroom in mind, we'll show you some of their
great multi functional units. You will also find
our new "Raves & Fav's" spotlight
by our veteran sales staff and a promotional coupon
for our Bedroom Event, exclusive to our E Newsletter
subscribers! And lastly, check out what just landed
on our showroom floor in our monthly "New Arrivals"
section.

| The Suite Life
The M odern
bedroom is much more than a destination
for sleep! Today’s master suites are
fully functional multi room retreats.
Creating a room that is a vacation from
the bustling world outside has become a
necessity for the weary over committed worker.
”Bright, new bedding can do wonders
for your personal space. Add crisp linens
with coverlets for color. Bring in spring
with floral-designed spreads or colorful
solids." Says designer Mila Tarskey
of Live in Style.
Milano Collection:
Platform bed, 6 drawer dresser and Nightstands.

"Remember if you are trying to create
a retreat that ambience is the most important
element. Eliminate things in the room that
add stress like a home gym or office."
Suggests designer Rosemary Valeriani of
So Home Interiors.
Your bedroom should be a reflection of your
own personal style, a place to rejuvenate
and relax. Whether it’s restful colours
that bring you solitude or bold colours
and prints that invigorate and restore.
With the vast selection of bedroom suites
available it's easy to continue your modern
style in your bedroom. You will find plenty
of sleek frames, contemporary platform beds
and chic storage solutions in our PVL bedroom
collections.
 Be
our Guest - Not to be forgotten
is the guest bedroom. There is an art of
making a guest feel at home when they’re
far from their personal amenities. While
a comfortable mattress and crisp linens
are a perfect start, “you can also
add charm in meaningful details… a
basket filled with toiletries and extra
tooth brushes, a dressing mirror, or a bucket
bursting with fresh blooms.” says
designer Darlene Hall-Barrett of Dressing
Rooms.
Lighting is a key element to our bedroom
space, wall mounted swivel lights
let you put light where you need it. A mixture
of task and ambient lighting
usually works best, adding a dimmer for
more control. Skip the overhead
halogen lights that can leave you seeing
spots! |

 "Raves
& Fav's"
Meet Allan Cooper. Allan has been on our
sales team for five years and has seen our
showroom floor transform hundreds of times.
So I said to him one day "What's your
favourite bedroom collection”
|
 Allan
says this bedroom set from Match is
his all time favourite. "I'm a
big fan of the platform bed, I love
the low profile, its sleek shape and
how it looks like its almost floating.
The combination of wood and aluminum
gives added design and presence."
Creating a bedroom space is so personal,
when selecting bedroom furniture both
partners should be involved. After all
you start and finish your day there
so you want to feel good in the space!
Also available in espresso

Q & A With the
PVL Pros
| Why are platform beds
so popular? The Platform bed has
been popular in Europe for years but
recently it’s taken the North
American market by storm!
The platform bed fits the bill for
those looking for a frame style to
suit their contemporary design. It's
smaller and sleeker in appearance,
fits perfectly into small spaces and
lofts and is visually lighter and
airier in feeling compared to more
traditional styles.
Also contributing to this frame styles
understated elegance is how it sits
so low to the ground (it requires
no box spring) giving a very streamlined
vibe.
