While we’ve been serving the greater Toronto area since our inception, sometimes nothing beats a good recommendation, and when it comes to the best interior design stores in Toronto, we’ve reached out to our realtor friends at Zoocasa for guidance for you. Slender skyscrapers married to historic red-brick architecture define the walls of Canada’s largest urban sprawl. As a city that thrives on art and culture, it’s no surprise that Toronto offers a plethora of retail options: from the latest trends to rare antiques to bespoke furniture.
Here’s a look at the top interior design stores in Toronto, according to Zoocasa:
