Creating the perfect room is more than just choosing furniture.
It’s about finding pieces that complement your style, and your lifestyle. It’s knowing which trends will stand the test of time, how to use lighting to create a cool vibe or cozy retreat, or how a fresh coat of paint, area rug or a few throw pillows can tie it all together.
If all this leaves you wishing you had your own personal decorator… you’re in luck.
The professional designers at Spencer Furniture & Lighting in Sudbury deliver the perfect mix of industry expertise and design flair with in-store and in-home consultations:
Monique Grottoli-Paquette, Decorating & Design Consultant
As a graduate of Design and Design Illustration, Monique offers a wealth of professional training and nearly two decades of practical experience. Still, Monique is continually learning about new products and strives to bring Spencer’s customers the most innovative pieces.
“Products are forever changing, so keeping up can sometimes be a challenge. I am constantly ordering new products. Most customers are amazed at the variety of products in our showroom.”
The showroom is well stocked with an ever-changing inventory, and custom orders are available. For Monique, the best part of the job is finding that one perfect piece for a customer. “There is a comfort in seeing a customer smile as they leave the store knowing they are happy with their purchase and often, I have made a new friend.”
Julie Keetch, Decorating & Design Consultant
Like all of the people you’ll meet at Spencer’s, Julie loves being part of the close-knit Sudbury community.
Going the extra mile to understand the wants and needs of her customers is the key to helping them invest in selections that complement their space and lifestyle. “I will go into the home to see the space, take measurements, and get a feel for how they see themselves using the space. I try to get as much information as I can: what they are looking for, how many people are in their home, pets, children, usage of space, colour and so on. This helps narrow down what would work in the space.”
Julie also loves to keep up on the latest trends and enjoys helping clients choose from Spencer’s extensive collection of designs, colours and materials. “I'm a leather girl. I LOVE leather furniture and have 3 pieces of my own! I think contemporary furniture, and condo size pieces are becoming the go to. Minimalism is still very prevalent as well as multi-functional furniture.”
Larry Paquette, Lighting Specialist
No two customers, or two rooms, are exactly alike, and Larry welcomes the opportunity to source unique products that bring beautiful solutions to every space.
“The best part of my job is to help solve problem for our clients; give them proper answers & solutions to any situation,” explains Paquette. “Being original and eclectic in our displays of lighting lets us offer choices that you would not find just anywhere.”
Larry brings decades of experience and enjoys working with long time clients and welcoming new customers in the community. “We are very fortunate to be living in ideal location like Sudbury. It has all the amenities we need in a city, along with the beauty of nature... literally in your back yard!”
Pauline Silvestri, Lighting Specialist
As someone who has lived in Sudbury nearly a lifetime, Pauline Silvestri loves the community, and how Sudbury offers all the big-city amenities, yet is surrounded by the unspoiled beauty of nature.
Pauline enjoys interacting with customers to help them make informed and beautiful decisions about their lighting. For her, staying on top of trends and technology is a key to delivering the best service for every Spencer Furniture & Lighting customer.
“I like being informed about all the latest trends, and there are beautiful lighting designs created every spring and fall, says Silvestri. “Our customers have varied tastes and styles, and I find it very exciting when you can help people find just what they are looking for - even when they aren’t sure what that is. We try our best to be informed about all styles and trends and therefore we try to display an eclectic range of lighting.”
If you’ve always imagined creating the perfect living space with the help of a professional designer, it’s time to make that dream a reality.
