Modern Furniture in Parkland, FL

Parkland sits in the northwest corner of Broward County, right against the Palm Beach County line, and most of its housing falls into two groups: newer gated communities of large single-family homes and older equestrian-zoned estates, with names like Parkland Golf & Country Club, Heron Bay, Parkland Bay, MiraLago, Cascata, Parkland Isles, Parkland Reserve, Pine Tree Estates and The Ranches. Either way, the rooms are big. Two-story great rooms, kitchens that open onto a covered lanai, upstairs lofts and a full set of bedrooms are the norm, and the furniture has to be scaled for a family, not a couple.

For Parkland, the drive to a serious modern furniture floor is 25 minutes east: SoBe Furniture's showroom is at 6599 N Federal Hwy in north Boca Raton, about 15 miles from the Hillsboro Boulevard gates. The floor is modern, contemporary and Italian-crafted, arranged around the rooms Parkland homes actually have: great room, open kitchen, upstairs bedrooms, loft and lanai.

Before you drive over, measure the rooms you want to furnish (the questions below list what to note) or bring the builder's floor plan for a new Parkland home. A designer plans the rooms with you piece by piece at the showroom; send dimensions and photos ahead through the contact form or to ops@sobefurniture.com so that planning starts from real measurements.

What Parkland shoppers will find on the floor

The floor is set up so a Parkland family can sit on a full-size sectional, walk the length of a rectangular dining table and compare bedroom sets side by side in one visit, the one part of furnishing a whole house a screen cannot do. For the great room, start with the sectionals and the sofas collection, then compare coffee tables and TV stands at the scale your wall needs.

For the dining area, the rectangular dining tables and round and square tables are on the floor with matching dining chairs, and the counter stools and bar stools cover the kitchen island. Upstairs, the bedroom collection includes beds, nightstands and dressers, and the office and desks collections cover a home office or a loft study. If you are shortlisting for several rooms at once, check the Just In collection the week before you drive over from Parkland; new arrivals show up there first, and a designer can flag the ones that fit the dimensions you send ahead.

Furnishing a Parkland home

Great rooms. Most Parkland great rooms are open to the kitchen and the lanai sliders, so the sofa or sectional is seen from every side and often floats rather than sitting against a wall. A sectional that looks large in a photo can feel small under a two-story ceiling, so bring the ceiling height with the floor dimensions and let the designer lay out the seating with you.

Covered lanais. The lanai is a second living room for most of the year in Parkland, and the outdoor pieces on the floor deserve the same care as the interior. Decide whether the covered area is for lounging, dining or both, and measure the covered portion separately from the open deck, because only the covered portion stays dry in an afternoon storm.

Upstairs lofts. The loft at the top of the stairs usually ends up as a second TV room, a study or a playroom. Sleeper sofas and recliners make a loft useful for overnight guests without giving up a bedroom, and a desk and office chair turn the same space into a homework station. Measure the stair width and the turn at the landing, since that is the route every piece takes on delivery day.

Kids' rooms and family bedrooms. Parkland households tend to have several bedrooms to fill at once. For families who share a bed with young children, SoBe offers XL family beds in two widths: 120 inches (two Queen mattresses side by side) and 152 inches (two King). They come in four signature designs or can be fully custom. Check that the primary bedroom wall is long enough for the bed plus two nightstands before you decide on the width.

Custom wall units and closets. Builder walls in Parkland's newer communities are often tall and blank, which is exactly where a custom wall unit earns its place: a media wall built to the width and height of the room. The same goes for walk-in closets, which builders usually hand over as a rod and a shelf; a custom closet is designed around what you actually store. Final measurements for both are taken at your home before anything is fabricated.

Delivery to Parkland

Parkland addresses sit inside SoBe's free white-glove zone (all of Broward County), so there is no delivery or installation charge whether you order one sofa or furnish the whole house. Because most Parkland communities are gated, the team coordinates the gate pass in advance and provides a certificate of insurance when the community or HOA asks for one; tell us which community you are in when you order, whether that is Heron Bay, Parkland Golf & Country Club, MiraLago, Cascata, Parkland Bay, Parkland Isles or Parkland Reserve.

For a home on a large lot, whether in Pine Tree Estates, The Ranches or elsewhere in Parkland, let us know about long driveways and where the truck can park; if a sectional is headed for a second-floor loft, mention the staircase and the landing. A whole-house order for Parkland usually mixes in-stock pieces from the local warehouse with pieces made to order in your fabric, leather and finish, so tell the designer which rooms you need first. What the crew does inside a gated community, and how the COI is handled, is spelled out on the white-glove delivery page.

A great room, a lanai and four bedrooms in one order is a different scale of purchase than a single sofa; the financing page explains the 6- or 12-month interest-free financing through the Synchrony HOME Credit Card with approved credit that can spread a whole-house order over time.

Questions from Parkland homeowners

How far is SoBe Furniture from Parkland?

About 15 miles, or roughly 25 minutes. Take Hillsboro Boulevard east to I-95 north, exit at Yamato Road (exit 48), go east to US-1 and turn north; the showroom is about a mile up at 6599 N Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, FL 33487. Loxahatchee Road east, which becomes Palmetto Park Road, also reaches US-1, and from there you turn north.

Does SoBe Furniture deliver to gated communities in Parkland?

Yes. Parkland is in Broward County, one of the three counties where SoBe's white-glove delivery and installation are free. Tell us your community when you order; the delivery team arranges the gate pass ahead of time and supplies a certificate of insurance if the HOA requires one, so the truck is expected at the gate on delivery day.

What should I measure before visiting from Parkland?

For each room, note the wall lengths, the ceiling height, the size of the seating or dining zone, and the locations of doors, sliders and the kitchen island. Also measure the front door, any hallway turns and the staircase if furniture is going upstairs. Bring those numbers and a few photos, or send them ahead by email or the contact form, and the designer will plan the rooms with you at the showroom.

Do you sell beds larger than a King for a Parkland family bedroom?

Yes. XL family beds come in a 120-inch width, equal to two Queen mattresses side by side, and a 152-inch width, equal to two King mattresses. There are four signature designs, and fully custom versions can be built. Pricing for custom work is quoted after a consultation at the showroom.

Can SoBe build a wall unit or closet to the dimensions of my Parkland home?

Yes. Custom wall units and custom closets are designed to your room's dimensions. You bring the rough measurements or a floor plan to the showroom, the design is worked out with you there, and final measurements are taken at your home before fabrication begins.

Should I send my Parkland floor plan before I drive over?

It helps, but it is not required; the showroom is open seven days a week, Monday to Saturday 10 AM to 7 PM and Sunday 11 AM to 6 PM, and walk-ins are welcome. Send the plan and a few photos first, by email to ops@sobefurniture.com or through the contact form, and the designer will plan the great room seating and check the primary bedroom wall against the XL bed widths with you at the showroom.

Can a whole-house order for a new Parkland build go on one financing plan?

Yes. The 6- or 12-month interest-free financing through the Synchrony HOME Credit Card with approved credit is based on the purchase amount, not on how many rooms are in the order: 6 months on purchases of $299 to $1,998.99, 12 months on purchases of $1,999 and up, with minimum monthly payments required. Bring the room list for the whole house and the designer can run the combined total through the financing application before anything is ordered.
