HISTORY

Bright Ideas was started by Jim and Beth Smith as a lighting store in Downtown Rochester in 1974. Furniture was slowly added over the years. The Downtown Royal Oak location at 3rd and Main was opened in 1985 when Royal Oak was nothing like it is today, but they saw potential for this area to grow into a destination. The building had a major renovation in 2000 to provide a great place to showcase furniture and allow our customers to enjoy a walk through the store while visiting downtown Royal Oak.

 

In September 2019, the Royal Oak showroom moved to 905 S. Main Street, which was the old Haberman Fabrics building. The entire building was renovated to a modern look to include Bright Ideas and Orange Theory Fitness. The modern upgrades, 1 floor store, 3 wheelchair accessable entrances and onsite parking improved our customer shopping experience. Just blocks from Woodward and I-696 makes it easy for customers from Birmingham, Bloomfield, Canton, Dearborn, Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Novi, Rochester, Troy and more!

 

Our Southfield Clearance Center and warehouse is now closed, but was open for 25 years. We met so many great customers over the years, and hope to see again in Royal Oak.

 

As an environmentally friendly company, we have implemented many measures to reduce our carbon footprint. Our new showroom has one of the largest solar arrays (18 kw) in Royal Oak that powers our entire showroom LED lighting for the year! Our Solar and Electrical Installer

 

Bright Ideas is now a 2nd generation family business, and we are happy to have one of the largest retail stores in the downtown area of Royal Oak. As Beth used to say, “Feel free to visit other furniture stores, but make sure you shop us last!”
