A survey of the leading interior designers and architects who are collectively defining the city's signature style.
As perhaps the most diverse city in the world, Toronto is a veritable patchwork of cultures, styles, languages, and neighbourhoods - each with its own distinct architecture. With heritage rowhouses in Cabbagetown, glass towers overlooking Lake Ontario, narrow Victorian Bay-and-Gables in the Annex, grand Georgians in Rosedale, and wartime bungalows on the edges of the city, there truly is something for everyone. The interiors of these distinct home styles are no less unique, but, when taken together they exemplify the push and pull between heritage and modern sensibilities that has created a true design movement in this city on the lake.
In Toronto Interiors, design writer Catherine Macintosh profiles 30 established and emerging local studios that are evolving the living spaces and streetscapes for the next generation of Torontonians. Whether bringing their talents to innovative renovations or new builds, these studios are crafting homes that are beautiful but not precious; homes that are made for how we live now. Within these deeply personal and highly functional spaces are moments of true creative brilliance - the artistic use of light, the seamless interplay between indoors and out, unique focal points, a careful mix of natural materials, and a delicate balance between old and new. The exemplary homes in Toronto Interiors feel at ease in their settings, adding to the city's unique urban landscape.
Toronto Interiors spotlights a moment in time when high design and individuality are expertly applied by designers challenging the status quo, inspiring readers to look at their own spaces through a new lens. Featuring 90 projects brought to life in stunning full-colour photography, Toronto Interiors is a book to both read and dream on.

"If you love modern minimalist design, this book is beautiful and inspirational! Almost didn’t buy it because of a bad review, but clearly that reviewer’s preference was more maximalist or traditional. It takes a lot for me to invest in design books and this was worth the money from my perspective."
— Lisa F. (5/5)
A Special Book!
"A beautiful showcase of Toronto’s creative talent. The collection highlights some truly exceptional projects, each one a testament to the innovation and artistry thriving in the city. It's incredibly inspiring to see so many gifted Canadians supporting one another, united in championing the Toronto design scene."
— Allie123 (5/5)
Wasted potential
"The idea behind this book held much potential. It could have been an opportunity to showcase interesting projects from across the stylistic and architectural spectrum in the city, and to create an interesting dialogue and offer an interesting perspective on what makes Toronto unique. Save for a few well executed projects, the projects featured in this book leave the reader with a sense that what defines Toronto's design scene is a strong desire for soulless interiors. Maybe you can judge a book by its cover after all."
