At Home Furnishings uses web to expand into new sectors

16th March | expansion | Independent furniture retailer At Home Furnishings has launched two online stores selling rugs and art, and plans two more offering conservatory furniture and lighting.

The Stockton-on-Tees retailer has one of the largest independent furniture stores in the north east of England, and hopes its product diversification will boost turnover to as much as three times its existing level.

The new online stores, mailorderart.co.uk and mailorderrugs.co.uk, will be joined by mailordercane.co.uk and mailorderlighting.co.uk, in the coming months.

The family of Marcus Dicken, md of At Home Furnishings, has been in the furniture retail business in the north east since the 1920s.
