kings + queens

Most of us – from the glitterati to the “don’t call me hipster” hipsters all have the same problem: how to furnish the abode in sexy, great quality loft-style furniture while pulling off an “It’s not all from Ikea” look? Or, how to find bedding that is as cozy as it is visually appealing? Kings and Queens proprietor Jeni Mah answers our by using her background in design to fill her store with Canadian designs in housewares, ultra-hip bedding and lofty furniture for the ever downsizing home. Highlight? The Canadian textile designers give Italian houses a run for their money, and gorgeous larger than life Canadian bed frames that will suit any modern condo-sized room. Like the superhero that she is, Mah makes everything at this Queen Street West store delectably affordable, so buying more is much more fun.
