Junior members of your household often get the short end of the stick: they’re either too young to make their own decisions or too old to be pampered. These seven Toronto kids’ home decor stores meet you in the middle by offering a choice of furnishings that’s sure to please everyone.
The Bunk House got started in the ‘70s and is still around today by maintaining a high level of quality for all the furnishings in kids’ bedrooms. While specializing in beds, mattresses and dressers, they also carry the special little extras to personalize your child’s bedroom. Does your child have sights on a beanbag? The Bunk House has it. Need a tiny table with colourful chairs for teatime or having friends over? You can find that here, too.
Like a scaled-down version of the adult Pottery Barn, this is where parents outfit their little interior designers of tomorrow with upscale furniture sets. Whether geared towards babies or tweens, Pottery Barn has decor ideas for both age groups, grouping merchandise both by season and type of home decor. There are three store locations in the city if you want to shop in person, as well as some online-only items with a variety of shipping options and prices.
There are two Ikea locations in Toronto, both of which are huge warehouses full of ideas for decorating kids’ rooms. Once you’ve all polished off a plate of meatballs, point your young ones to the kids’ department. The Swedish retailer stages its goods on the floor in model bedrooms, giving kids a chance to climb on, through and over the furniture. There are also tons of cool posters, stickers and other home decor just for youngsters.
Whether you shop online or at their Strachan Avenue store, you’ll be bowled over by the sheer selection of kids’ room decor. It doesn’t matter if you’re decorating from scratch or just looking for a few accent pieces; they have it all. There are animal wall stickers, kid-appropriate wall art, small and huge pillows and more. The prices are a little higher than what you’d find in other stores but so is the quality.
