swaleha
moblemAn-e shik
Explanation:
The popular qualities for furniture, advertised on furniture outlets are: shik (French 'chic'), rAhat ('comfortable'), and bAdavAm ('durable'). Therefore, 'moblemAn-e shik, rAhat, bAdavAm' is a suitable name for a furniture outlet.
'moblemAn' means furniture. One of the above qualities can also suffice, that is: shik, rAhat, or bAdavAm.

'shik' means stylish, fashionable, smart.
I also propose 'moblemAn-e barAzande': 'barAzande' means 'elegant', 'suitable', 'proper', 'stylish', etc.
