    West Coast home store greets Dallas-Fort Worth with special treat from Joanna Gaines

    May 7, 2019 | 3:12 pm

    A new home furnishings store from the West Coast will debut its first location in Dallas-Fort Worth, with something extra from a Texas design sensation.

    Living Spaces will open its doors in Grand Prairie on May 17. Exclusive to the North Texas showroom, a Magnolia Home Flower Shop, featuring a fully functioning floral shop where custom arrangements are available for purchase, will greet guests at the front. The extra perk is a tribute to Waco-based Magnolia Home founder and "Fixer Upper" extraordinaire Joanna Gaines, whose home furnishings are also carried in the store.

    The massive new store, which includes a showroom and distribution center and spans 860,000 square feet, will carry Living Spaces’ signature wide selection of stylish pieces of furniture at affordable prices, according to a release. There's furniture and decor for every room of the house, including kids' and teens' bedrooms.

    Also, expert designers are available on-site to provide styling direction. "The Grand Prairie showroom is equipped with a Living Spaces’ Design Studio and 3D Room Designer Tool, which allows guests to create digital versions of their home and instantly render custom upholstery designs as part of their Special Order Upholstery Program," the release says.

    The space also features a 2,000-square-foot multi-level play structure and supervised movie room in case little ones need to be occupied while parents shop.

    “Opening our third location in my native state of Texas is a momentous occasion for the Living Spaces business,” says Grover Geiselman, CEO and founder of Living Spaces," in the release. “With notable attractions in the area — Lone Star Park, The Theatre at Grand Park, Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark, to name a few — Grand Prairie is a growing community for families to call home. We’re excited to be a part of the community and to serve as a resource for homeowners in the region."

    Living Spaces was established in 2003 and calls La Mirada, California home. They're the leading West Coast home furnishings retailer, known for offering a wide selection of indoor and outdoor furniture, décor, lighting, art and unique pieces at affordable price-points. They design and manufacture an assortment of exclusive products that are available online and in-store, they say.

    Living Spaces has two other locations in Texas, in Pflugerville and San Antonio. Grand Prairie marks their first foray in the Metroplex.

    "Since making our debut in Texas in fall 2018, we’ve been greeted with open arms, and we’re honored to bring our offerings of elevated furniture available at a low price point. We’re looking forward to giving the DFW Metroplex the same experience," Geiselman says.

    The store is at 1514 Arkansas Ln., Grand Prairie. Special sneak-preview events will take place from 5-9 pm May 15-16. Doors will open to the public on May 17, with limited-time deals and designs for each room.

    For more information about the store and the opening, visit the website.

    Celebrity designer Nate Berkus' line will be sold there.

    Swedish meatballs are coming

    Furniture fave IKEA reveals grand opening date for Rockwall store

    The newest IKEA store in Dallas-Fort Worth is ready to open its doors: IKEA Rockwall, located at 1801 E. Interstate 30, will debut on Wednesday, May 13.

    According to a release, the Swedish-born furniture company will say hallå to Rockwall with some fanfare on May 13, beginning with giveaways, coffee, and cinnamon buns at 8 am, followed by remarks from VIPs at 9 am. Doors will open to customers starting at 10 am.

    And yes, there will be meatballs for everyone, they promise.

    Ikea is the world's largest furniture retailer, founded in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad, and known for its simple, modern approach to interior design at an affordable price, its ready-to-assemble furniture, and its amusement-park-like stores.

    Ikea Rockwall will be the anchor in a 65-plus acre mixed-use development with a location chosen for its accessibility not only to the east side of DFW but also to major highways that connect to faraway cities like Texarkana and Little Rock.

    According to a release, the store represents Ikea's intention to become more accessible, affordable, and convenient for the many here in the U.S., and the store will offer a new way of reaching customers both in-store and digitally.

    “Opening IKEA Rockwall is a big moment for us, not only because it’s our ninth store in Texas, but because it’s our first ground-up build since 2019,” says Rob Olson, interim CEO of IKEA U.S., in the release. “This milestone underscores our confidence in the future of this market and in our mission to create better everyday life at home through affordable, well-designed solutions.”

    The store's footprint is 108,000 square feet — almost a third smaller than the behemoth locations in Frisco and Grand Prairie, which both span 293,000-plus square feet — and more on par with the new IKEA Dallas - University Park store that opened in Dallas in March.

    The single-level Rockwall store features over 6,000 products and dozens of fully furnished room settings, with more than 3,800 items ready for immediate takeaway, the release says. In a "central planning area," customers can receive personalized design consultations from IKEA experts for kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and small spaces.

    The new store will also include the famed Swedish Bistro, serving customer favorites like meatballs, plant balls, hot dogs, and veggie dogs.

    Additionally, Ikea Rockwall’s design will include features for improved sustainability, specifically solar power, LEED certified construction, EV chargers, onsite recycling and native plant materials to reduce water consumption.

    An "as-is section" will offer gently used and discontinued items at discounted prices, "giving products a second life and helping customers furnish their homes more sustainably and affordably," they say.

    “We’re proud to open IKEA Rockwall as a reflection of our commitment to the community it serves,” says Ben Sandoval, market manager, IKEA U.S. “Our goal is to be a trusted partner for local families by offering well-designed, affordable solutions that support everyday life at home.”

    As part of its goal of being a good neighbor, IKEA Rockwall will donate $10,000 to the Children's Advocacy Center for Rockwall County at the grand opening. Festivities begin at 8 am, and customers may begin lining up 7 am. (Store hours on May 13 will be 10 am-8 pm.)

    Once IKEA Rockwall debuts, it will be open 10 am-9 pm Monday-Saturday and 10 am-8 pm Sunday.
