Introducing the Ellis Dining Collection

What I love most about this set is how eco-friendly it is. It’s made from solid rubberwood, which is one of the most sustainable woods available.

As you might guess, all rubber-based products are made from the latex produced by rubberwood. Once a rubberwood tree completes its latex-producing cycle and dies, it is used to build furniture. So instead of being thrown away, the trees are put to good use in the furniture industry! Rubberwood is strong, flexible, and resistant to fungus, bacteria and mold. Plus, it has a beautiful grain that works perfectly for furniture.

In addition to being very “green,” the Ellis products feature gorgeous oak veneers. Oak is one of the strongest woods out there, and its dense grain makes for an intricate and beautiful natural pattern. I’ll let this photo speak for itself:

The Ellis Dining Table is finished with a rich, cashew-toned oak veneer

This oak veneer undergoes five layers of finishing to achieve that rich, cashew tone.

Deal Décor vs IKEA : What $500 Can Buy

This week, we’re debuting the Shipley Chesterfield Collection. It’s a gorgeous set, featuring a sofa, loveseat, chair and ottoman. Made from recycled leather with eco-friendly rubber wood legs and a beautiful brass nailhead trim, the Shipleys are sure to please. But they’re more than just a good-looking bunch. With cushions that contain spring bags encased in six-inch thick high density foam, the Shipleys offer luxurious comfort at an unbelievable price.

We decided to do some quick comparison shopping at IKEA, which is often the go-to for budget-minded furniture shoppers. The Shipley Loveseat is on sale on our website for $499, so we wanted to see what $500 could get you at the Swedish home emporium. Here’s what we found:

Karlstad Loveseat, $479

It’s a cute chair, but the quality isn’t up to par with our Shipley Collection. The back cushion is made with hollow polyester fibers, and the fabric upholstery is polypropylene. Compare this with our Shipley Loveseat, which has 6-inch thick high density foam cushions with springs. We guarantee the Shipley Loveseat is 100x more comfortable than this IKEA one.

Ektorp Loveseat, $479

You don’t always get the best bang for your buck at IKEA. The Ektorp Loveseat costs as much as the Karlstad, but is made of polyester upholstery.

Kivik Loveseat, $429

The Kivik Loveseat is slightly cheaper at $429. In terms of comfort and lifespan, the Shipley still wins. The Kivik’s seat cushion is made of only foam, while the Shipley cushions contain springs encased in foam for an ultra-luxe and pliant seating experience.

Check out the Shipley Collection now. Sale ends Sunday, September 2.

Sarah, our resident interior designer, has some tips for styling the Shipley Collection.

Mix materials. Pair leather with stone, glass, wood or metal.
Mix old and new. Combine more contemporary art or lighting to create a personalized style. Or bring in those family heirlooms for statement pieces.
Add contrast with surrounding pieces. Pillows can add visual interest with a hint of color or an interesting texture. Combine shapes and sizes.
Use a rug to create a focal point and set the tone/ mood for the room.
Try switching your furniture around until it feels right. Add a side table. It’s a great place to house magazines, vases and vessels, plus it can be a great talking point. A throw gives your sofa another layer, and adds texture.
