This review reflects on all my trips to Creative Home Furnishings, my interactions, and my experience in purchasing several pieces of furniture. I was not paid for this review and seldom post reviews. This was done on my own because my wife and I had a great experience at this place! First off, I just want to emphasize that I come from humble beginnings so a lot of the stuff in many of the nicer furniture stores, was outside of my price-range as a new home owner. My wife and I recently bought a condo; due to limitations in space, we had to look for furniture that could fit the space and also be functional and tasteful. Our condo has high end finishing, as such, we wanted to maintain the aesthetics without breaking the bank. Those two are usually an impossible combination by itself! (Note - I have only used Ikea furniture in the past and am quite tired of how often their furniture needs to be replaced. You pay for what you get.) Wanting to scope out the landscape as such, we went to B&B, Inform Interiors, Resource Furniture, Bo-Concept, Ikea, Mobler, CB2, etc. We've gone to places that you would need to pay over 10K CAD on a couch to $300 at Ikea. The two of us were looking for a sweet spot. Walking into Creative Home Furnishings for the first time, we didn't get the 'in your face' high-pressure sales like some of the other furniture stores (won't name anyone here). We were greeted by Maria, one of the owners. She was attentive to what we needed and was very respectful of our budget. She understood the financial and mental pain that we went through in buying a home in today's market. Especially when you make it on your own. We went right down to business in planning the pieces that would: fit in our home, suit the style, and that financially would work within our budget. We were given an accurate ETA of when the furniture would be delivered. In every aspect, Maria and the staff are very prompt, professional, and polite. In the end, we bought a dining table, 4 chairs, a vanity desk, and a dresser. So far we have received the dining table and 4 chairs as the other pieces are still in production. The table, desk, and dressers are made of solid wood, and some pieces are quite contemporary and incorporate steel into the design. Everything is well built and made here in Canada. This store really preaches on quality and customer service and the stuff is made to last, i.e. not throw-away. You do not get the faux-wood/melamine/veneer stuff that you might find in other furniture shops. Their price range is not Ikea, for obvious reasons, but you will not get the Bentley priced furniture in return for cheaper material. This is the sweet spot that most people find will suit their budget for pieces that will last a life-time, if treated with care. I highly recommend that anyone who is out shopping for quality tasteful furniture, to pay a visit to Maria the Vancouver location, Blair at the Coquitlam, and their team of dedicated specialists who will be there to help you find great quality pieces which fit your budget. Have fun shopping! read more

I can't rave enough about Creative Home Coquitlam this year and continue to tell everyone I can about the great experience I had with them! Early this year I had decided on the Bronx Stylus Sofa from Urban Barn. Remembering that Creative Home Coquitlam was custom and had fabric samples galore, I stopped in to see what they could do for throw pillows. They actually had the Bronx right there on their showroom floor along with all of the other sofas Urban had! Dianne let me know that they too carried the full Stylus Sofa line as well as the Van Gogh Sofa line. Dianne priced the Bronx out for me as well as checked with the Burnaby factory on the status of the Polo Grey fabric I chose. When the total all in came back $638.00 less than Urban, they let me know that they do not mark up there products like others do. I knew right then I was ordering it with them. They also include two throw pillows with your sofa order and Dianne worked with me to pick out a complimentary fabric that I had in mind. The Burnaby factory had enough of the Polo Grey in stock, so my sofa actually delivered in four weeks as opposed to six. The delivery company they use is great as well. They contacted me to organize a delivery date, followed up with me the day before and arrived on time day of. Very professional and took care while bringing it in my place. They put it all together for me, showed me how to unhook the two main pieces and took all the packaging with them. Dianne also called me a few days later to see if everything went well and arrived well. It's a pretty stunning sofa and I'm absolutely in love with it!! I am going back in at the end of the month to place my order for the Van Gogh Maple Recliner in Brampton Steel. (All in, $100.80 less than Urban. Lol) Shop Stylus and Van Gogh while you're out and about but definitely place your order with Creative Home Coquitlam :) *****+ read more

We recently had the best possible experience with Maria and Blair, along with their team of capable staff at Creative Home Furnishings. We ordered both new dining and living room furniture for our newly built home on the Coast. From the outset, Maria provided advice, ideas, and expertise as we explored first the Vancouver store and then the larger Coquitlam location. We wanted everything to be so perfect and while she answered questions, provided good insight into decision making choices, Maria did not impose her own preferences nor did she try to get us to look at things that we didn't like or were not in our price range. We were also so pleased to be able to buy Canadian products as well and they had a lot of choice in this regard. Service was seamless, and it didn't matter whether we spoke with Maria or Blair, they were always in sync. Pick-up was also a good experience as the staff team knew how to ensure everything was perfectly wrapped for safe travel to our home. Post-purchase additional fabric- no issues! We visited so many furniture stores before we got to Creative Home Furnishings and no one, absolutely no one, provided the kind of personal, truly caring/interested service that this firm did when we were shopping. Privately owned by this couple obviously makes a difference and we will be future customers- guaranteed! read more

Over the years, I've purchased several pieces of wood furniture from Creative Home Furnishings. Every single piece- each one- has held up beautifully through the years, despite the wear and tear one can expect with a young family and pets. The workmanship is excellent, the materials high quality, and the service impeccable. The prices may seem a bit steep- but remember, this is furniture that will last and is beautiful. In the long run this store's furniture has proven much more cost-effective for me than cheaper things I've bought (and which broke). Our most recent experience was during this pandemic. I was touched and surprised to note that their hallmark customer care was unchanged, even though the times are hard! I wanted a very specialized desk made, and received very sound advice and counsel. My son wanted a bed, and the salesperson was super-kind with him as well. She helped him select a style, size and stain - all over the phone. We received our furniture last week and absolutely love it. There are a few gems in the Lower Mainland when it comes to small businesses, and this is one of them. Highly recommended. read more

We were looking for a locally owned store that deals in Canadian made furniture. Happily we found Creative Home, a family owned business. We ordered 4 custom items, a sofa, an armoire and two different shelves. Blair was very attentive to our needs and helped us with the design so that each piece was attractive and fit our need precisely. One of our pieces is a very large armoire with a very specific storage purpose and requirements. The resulting piece is a beautifully crafted solid wood piece that exceeded my expectations. There was one problem with a piece that did not fit the space properly but the error was mine. Once the error was identified the furniture maker modified the piece and it is in place, functional and beautiful. Locally hand-crafted furniture is more expensive than what you might find in the mall but the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies. These pieces will become heirlooms. read more

Our experience with Creative Home Furnishings was terrific! My wife and I recently purchased furniture from CHF for our condo after downsizing from our family home. We were looking for quality, unique wood furnishings that had been made locally. With the help of Maria we were able to select a bedroom suite that combined design with function. We also purchased a dining room table, six chairs and a sideboard at the same time. Each piece displays outstanding workmanship and work together to give us the feel we were striving for. The staff was always friendly and professional and more than helpful in presenting design ideas. We look forward to selecting our final pieces of furniture at CHF in the very near future. read more

Creative Home Furnishings is my go to store when deciding to purchase new furnishings. I have been a customer for 5 years. Over that time my husband and I have purchased 5 pieces of living room furniture. Each piece has been custom made to fit our needs and design tastes. We are extremely happy with the quality of workmanship, the clean lines in design, the choice of stains and the friendly/helpful staff. Any customer gets good value for the prices. Not overpriced. Not to be compared with other furniture stores selling ready made furniture outside of Canada. You won't regret owning a piece of CHF product. And its supporting a local Canadian business. If only I had a bigger home. LOL. read more

We wanted a smaller table for our dining area and we wanted quality and solid wood. We are delighted with our purchase. Our table was built in Canada by Mennonites in Ontario out of wormy maple. It is stained a glorious deep reddish brown. Quality is excellent. We needed a custom size and got exactly what we wanted with 2 leaves. Delivery was on the fast end of the quoted window and the delivery fellows that Creative Home uses were polite, swift, and efficient. Blair helped us in the Coquitlam store and, as one of the owners, he is superbly knowledgeable about all the products including being able to problem-solve for unique requests. He is low-key, not pushy. read more

I have been completely satisfied with all my purchases and the service from Creative. The quality of the craftsmanship is the highest. I have a beautiful custom bed with storage drawers, dresser, side tables, bookcases, server and media centre, dining table and chairs. I am more than happy with Maria's suggestions, which are spot-on. In my experience she has an innate sense of color and style which she skillfully blends with her customers' preferences. The delivery companies she uses are excellent. If an adjustment is needed, she knows what to do and how to make it happen. BD, Vancouver read more

I love the Nest ( very unique round couch ) that I purchased from Creative Home Furnishing! Blair and Maria's professional knowledge of product and help with amazing patience got me this couch in exactly the way I wanted with the right upholstery and the color. I also love almost all the product line they have in their store. Stylish and practical...and some are very unique like the couch I purchased. Stuff is very friendly and great service. I highly recommend Creative Home Furnishing to everyone who is looking for that perfect furniture for you. read more

We recently purchased the gorgeous Ambassador furniture line for our dining & living room. We are thrilled with the quality of the pieces and the colours blend perfectly. Now we have a modern look with so many classic features. We chose four inserts for the dining table & can comfortably seat 14 people! The services provided by Creative Home Furnishings was outstanding. They provided us with in-home consulting and they are open long hours. We would highly recommend using Creative Home Furnishings to everyone. read more

I was recommended this store for some good quality solid wood furniture that could be customized to fit my awkward small space. I needed a really narrow table that would expand to double as a desk and dining table. Also a server to go with it that I could also use to double as my entertainment unit (I did say Small space). They know what they're talking about here and walked me through my options, helped design the pieces, choose colours that would work in my space. Just received my furniture, I love it! read more

The quality of the furniture here is amazing! The staff are very enthusiastic and eager to help, if you are looking for a customized look, this is a great place to go. But make sure you stay true to your vision and not be lead by all the choices. Our vision did not come out quite as we had hoped, but the owner bent over backwards to make sure the situation was rectified to our satisfaction. Thank you Ingrid and Maria, for making it work out great in the end. read more

We had our heart set on a Van Gogh loveseat. Sadly it was quite difficult to find a dealer in the States, so we chose Creative Home to help us with our purchase. Ingrid was absolutely wonderful - very patient with our long list of custom additions and changes to the furniture. She got it all right, because the end product is amazing! Exactly what we wanted. She was even able to sucessfully navigate the daunting process of shipping the couches to the States. read more

I bought a sofa with Creative Home Furnishings and can say without a moments hesitation that it was a very positive experience. Everyone I dealt with was wonderful. Dianne was especially knowledgeable and patient while I took my time looking through numerous fabric samples and was so helpful answering all my questions. I am very happy with my sofa. They took care of all the details, including arranging the delivery. I highly recommend them! read more

My wife and I have bought a couple pieces from creative home furnishings over the years and couldn't be happier. The staff there were great, so helpful every step of the way knowing exactly how to make the furniture work perfectly for us and our home. We recommend creative home to all our friends and family. Anytime we are even thinking about new furniture creative home is our first stop. We'll be back for more very soon! read more

I recently bought a Sofa from here and it was one of the best shopping experiences I've had. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped me pick out fabrics and its all made locally. They have amazing solid wood furniture that they can customize with so many styles and other options. A great place will most definitely be back when i'm ready to re-furnish the rest of my apartment. read more

We had been looking at furniture stores for a long time to find the right sectional sofa, with Blair's help and professional knowledge we found exactly what we were looking for . Looking around the store it was not hard to find other furniture pieces to add. The new look has totally transformed our family room. Excellent service and product knowledge, delivery of items were right on schedule. read more

I recently purchased a sectional from Creative Home Furnishings and love it!!! I have decided to buy local and was pleased that my sectional was being built locally at Stylus in Burnaby. Ingrid was a great help and very patient with me as I kept changing my mind. The delivery guys were great and very respectful. It may cost a bit more than a big box store but the quality is worth it! read more
