Ashley HomeStore
THE SHOP
Need to refresh your living spaces? Or find that perfect accent chair or piece of wall art for your office? Ashley HomeStore, new to Bellingham’s Bellis Fair Mall, is outfitted to furnish just about any living or working space. For more than 70 years, the company has crafted stylish furniture from classic to glam, and its quality and affordability has made Ashley HomeStore a popular stop with more than 600 locations, each locally owned and operated. This includes a store in Burlington and now Bellingham. Along with the store showrooms, their collection is also available online.
THE ATMOSPHERE
Located along Bellis Fair Parkway off Meridian Drive, the new store features more than 30,000 square feet of open gallery space, with a mix of creative arrangements that showcase their furniture collections. Fashionable accessories such as rugs, table vases, and floor lamps give each bedroom, dining room, and living room set a personalized touch to create a visual of the furniture and how it might look in your own home. There is no high pressure to buy, and guests may leisurely wander from area to area to decide what fits their tastes and budget.
KEY PEOPLE
Chris Busby, who has worked for Ashley HomeStore for 10 years, admits he has a smooth-running team. Operations manager April Barnes is an interior designer pro and the creative force behind the visually appealing displays. The sales team is energetic and welcoming, and Busby says they are committed to helping each customer find the right items at the right price, along with any financing options they might need.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND
The store has a little bit of everything, from bed frames and mattresses (including Tempur-Pedic), sofas and leather recliners, dining room tables and chairs, and stylish accents like bedding, coffee tables, mirrors, and decorative throws to complete the look. The store sells mostly Ashley Furniture, which was founded in 1945 in Chicago, Illinois. Their newest line, Mane + Mason, is a modern take on the farmhouse style with natural woods alongside neutral or dark colors. Other favorite lines include the industrial chic Urbanology Lifestyle and the nostalgic and eclectic look of Vintage Casual.
