Home & GardenFurniture: Traditional

Elte

  • 80 Ronald Ave. (at Castlefield Ave.) View on map »
  • 416-785-7885

Free parking and 200,000 square feet of sofas, beds and dining rooms may sound more like IKEA than a high-end furniture emporium, but somehow Elte makes it work beautifully. Natural light floods through warehouse-style windows, making chandeliers twinkle and silk sofas look especially lustrous and welcoming. Casually arranged in the bedding area are antique beds swathed in the finest linens, such as a Bella Notte queen coverlet ($385), Yves Delorme pillow shams ($365) and mid-priced house label sets (queen $525). Furniture is organized by style and collection: the clubby, masculine look of Ralph Lauren’s Cape Lodge sofa ($8,295); the traditional feel of Lillian August and Althorp’s Oxnard armchair $2,655; and the contemporary comfort of a Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams slip-covered sleeper sofa. Of course, carpets are what started it all, so it’s fitting that a third of the floor space is devoted to every sort of area rug and runner imaginable.
