Where to Buy a Sofa in Toronto
Your sofa is one of the defining features of your home — let these shops point you in the right direction.
Is there any furniture item quite as vital to interior design as the couch? Bed-heads may disagree, but we’d wager that the couch is one of the spots you spend most of your (waking) hours at home. Whether it’s spending time with friends and family, watching a movie, or curling up with a good book, the sofa has seen it all — plus, it’s usually the first place you direct visitors. That’s a tall order for a single piece of plushy furniture. Many of us have started looking for the perfect couch only to be stumped by the sheer range of options in aesthetics, cost and function. To remedy this, we’ve curated a selection of some of the best sofa stores in Toronto, with enough expertise to take your couch -shopping excursions from demoralizing to inspiring.
Stylegarage
At Stylegarage you can find bespoke sofas, console desks and various customizable wood dining tables and kitchen islands. On the second floor is the mid-mod collection of couches, chairs and coffee tables by Gus Modern. That careful balance of mid-century practicality and light industrial style has kept Stylegarage going – and growing – since opening in 2000.
The Chesterfield Shop
Family-owned since 1948, The Chesterfield Shop has six showrooms – its newest opened in the heart of the King East Design District – offering acres of comfy sofas and recliner seating in multiple leather and fabric options. City dwellers looking to save space can shop sofa beds from Palliser and choose from innerspring, pocket-coil or gel-infused foam mattresses.
Montauk Sofa
Time for some more made-in-Canada goodness, brought to you from Montreal: Montauk’s sofas are like no other. In fact, sitting in one is a commitment: so plush and the springs so expertly tied, you’ll never want to stand up. And each one is devilishly handsome to boot.

Home Société
Home Société concept store brings French flair to the city. The biggest coup: the introduction of Ligne Roset to the uptown design district. This mega-showroom at Castlefield and Caledonia is a shrine to French design. Under one roof, you will find iconic sofa pieces next to reasonably priced products from Quebec-based MUST and Maison Corbeil.
