Relocating to Toronto or the GTA? With new condo completions hitting record numbers and rental turnover at its peak, thousands of movers are starting fresh in new apartments. Here's your essential furniture checklist to get settled quickly.
1. Bed & Bedroom
A good night's sleep is priority one. Whether it's a platform bed with under-bed storage or a slim bed frame for a tight bedroom, start here. Add a dresser or a foldable wardrobe if your unit lacks closet space.
2. Seating
A sofa or sectional is the centrepiece of your living room. In a GTA apartment, consider a sofa bed or storage sectional that maximizes functionality. Add an ottoman or accent chair for extra seating without bulk. Browse our Home Furnishings for options.
3. Storage
Toronto apartments are notoriously short on storage. Look for multi-drawer dressers, storage ottomans, and tall bookcases. A foldable wardrobe is a budget-friendly stopgap while you settle in.
4. Entryway
A shoe cabinet keeps your entryway tidy — essential in a Toronto condo where the front door opens directly into the living space. Add a narrow console table for keys and mail.
5. Home Office
Many GTA renters work remotely at least part-time. A compact desk and ergonomic chair turn any corner into a productive workspace. Explore our Office Products for rolling carts with power outlets that double as kitchen islands and mobile workstations.
6. Dining
An extendable dining table serves double duty: compact for daily meals, expandable for hosting.
