50 Years in the Industry: A Legacy of Elegance

50YEARSBLOG

Here at Upper Room Furnishings, our 50th Founders Celebration is not just a marker of time but a testament to unwavering commitment and dedication. It’s a celebration of the countless homes transformed, the stories shared around dinner tables, and the lifelong bonds we’ve forged with our cherished customers. Join us as we reflect upon a half-century of design excellence, and look ahead to the next chapter of our inspiring story. The Allan Nolan Legacy Our narrative of quality furnishings and exceptional customer service began with Allan Nolan, a visionary entrepreneur determined to redefine the standards of interior design. Allan’s legacy encapsulates the very essence of Upper Room — a commitment to timeless elegance and an eye for detail. From the formative years at Dante Home Furnishings to the dynamic growth at Upper Room today, it’s his values that continue to inspire our brand’s ethos. Milestones of Distinction The evolution of Upper Room Furnishings has been marked by several milestones that have shaped and strengthened our brand. Beginning in the 1970s with Dante Home Furnishings. This era marked the first chapter in our story, leading to the establishment of Rooms International, then evolving into Broyhill Home Collections. Each brand transition reflected our deepening understanding and passion for home decor, setting the stage for a significant evolution. In 2004, the culmination of these experiences and a desire to embody the finest in furniture led to the birth of Upper Room Home Furnishings. Starting as a local favorite in Ottawa and expanding across the valley, our journey from Dante Home Furnishings to Upper Room has shaped and strengthened our identity in the home decor arena. A strategic relocation in 2016 positioned us at the heart of Ottawa, allowing us to become a centerpiece in the decor community. Today, we are recognized not just for elegance, but as a trusted symbol of comfort, functionality, and style in Ottawa homes. Our Expansive Presence: Showrooms & Distribution Excellence Today, Upper Room Furnishings proudly stands with three elegantly appointed showrooms located across Ottawa, serving as beacons of design and style for the discerning homeowner. Each showroom is curated to inspire, showcasing our wide range of furnishings that embody sophistication and durability. It’s within these spaces that our clients can touch, feel, and visualize how our pieces will transform their homes into havens of comfort and elegance. Beyond the showroom floors, our reach extends far and wide through our distribution center, positioned strategically to serve not only Ottawa but regions 100+ km away.
