Shopping for new home decor can be a tedious process: you’re looking for savings, locally-made products, value for money, etc. One of the aspects that stands out today, especially during the last few months, is the sudden interest associated with nurturing small, local businesses.

Fortunately for us, Quebec has talented artists of all kinds who are often found in small local shops. In Montreal, for example, it's easy to find these pretty stores while strolling through neighbourhoods like the Plateau Mont-Royal, Rosemont or the Mile-End.

Here’s a short guide to 10 furniture and decor stores located in the city of Montreal!
