There’s nothing like the feeling of moving into a new condo. There are no maintenance issues to worry about, and everything is so convenient. Of course, there will likely be at least a few pieces of furniture that you’ll want to move from your previous place. Some memories are just too precious to part with, and you will find a perfect spot for them in your new place. Still, what better way to make your home truly yours than with brand new furniture and decor?
Still looking for the right home and wondering where in Toronto is right for you? We have several detailed neighbourhood guides to help you find your new forever home.
Amazon and Wayfair may be the easiest choices, but there are many local shops in your neighbourhood that offer stylish, affordable and high-quality furniture that are the perfect size for your condo. Here are just a few of our favourites:
Style Garage
Don’t be fooled by the name. Style Garage earned its name when the founder opened the store out of the garage. Today, they’ve grown into an upscale boutique that designs and custom builds timeless furniture that will never go out of style. Their flagship pieces are designed to order and made in Canada using locally sourced, sustainable materials. You’ll find everything you need to decorate your new condo with impeccable taste. Style Garage offers more than furniture. You’ll also find rugs, light fixtures, and other accents. The store is located on Ossington Avenue, an eight-minute drive from Parkdale.

Cornerstone Home Interiors
If you walk through the showroom at Cornerstone Home Interiors, you may think their furnishings are so beautiful that they should be on TV. In fact, the design store is well known in the film industry, and its products have been featured on countless TV productions and feature films. If you’re looking for something stylish and unique, they have hundreds of hand-selected items arriving every week that you simply will not find anywhere else. From live edge tables, French armoires, artistic lamps and chandeliers, their specialty is uniqueness. Be careful of the sleeper sofas, however.
