Great Indoors launches new lines

The Great Indoors has launched its most extensive range of home furnishings to date with the introduction of six new lines of furniture along with several occasional chairs and accent pieces.

The home-decorating store is pairing its hallmark quality and value with a decidedly trend-right look and feel in its expanded offering. Whether a customer's design aesthetic dwells in traditional, contemporary, or somewhere in between, The Great Indoors fills those empty spaces in the home with grace and style.

"Our new furniture lines represent a broad array of distinctive pieces complementary to any home," said Teresa Byrd, senior vice president and general manager of The Great Indoors. "Attention-to-detail construction and beautiful finishes combine with tasteful design to set these pieces apart. It's an upscale offering that remains affordable."

The new collections are:

* Township: Quaint, classic and comfortable are the defining characteristics of this collection. Pieces are available in a distressed black or walnut finish.

* Estate: Bold architectural elements complement the graceful style, while a rich mahogany or cream finish adds an unmistakable feeling of luxury.

* Contour: Simple lines and graceful curves converge for a uniquely contemporary style. Pieces are available in a deep cherry finish.

* Pagoda: Asian-inspired furniture features exotic antiqued accents. All pieces are available in oak wood in a black lacquer finish.

* Villa: Refined-yet-primitive furniture made of Sheesham wood in a dark oak finish is designed for everyday use.

* Java: Traditional elegance is styled with timeless appeal. Pieces are made of oak in a Flemish finish.

The Great Indoors showcases more than 80,000 products, as well as a selection of more than 350,000 special-order items. It is a specialty store format of Sears, Roebuck and Co.
