Where to furnish your pad on a dime in Toronto

In the heart of the Junction, William’s is a gold mine when seeking a retro aesthetic or dash of nostalgia for your modern space. It’s also insanely affordable compared to other antique shops in the city. My suggestion? Pick up a quartet of matching or mismatched chairs (Eiffel chairs, colourful pastel options reminiscent of a retro cafeteria, or factory-style stools) to lend a little personality to a basic kitchen table. Retro-industrial desk lamps are also a steal, while those with a little more cash on hand can peruse mid-century modern desks, credenzas or one-offs like vintage maps and signs.
