Douglas Robb

Today's Interior Design Toronto store spotlight focuses on Around the Block, one of Toronto's premier consignment retailers of artwork, lighting, seating, case goods, mirrors, rugs, large decorative items, small decorative items, tables, stemware, flatware, dinnerware, antiques, collectibles and other unique finds

What brands does Around The Block represent?

Around The Block carries a wide variety of manufacturers in their ever-changing collection. Currently, they don't have any exclusive designer partnerships.

Store Locations

The Around The Block showroom is located in the Bayview - Leaside design district at 150 Lesmill Road

Company History

After working at The Elegant Garage Sale, the owner of Around the Block, Warren Hales, decided to open a small consignment store on Avenue Road. Within three years of being open at the first location, Around the Block had outgrown its 1200-square foot space and moved to its current location.

Now in a 7000-square foot warehouse at Leslie and the 401, Around the Block has acquired 10,000+ consignors after being in its current location for 7 years. With new consignors entering partnerships with us every single day, we are helping Toronto downsize their homes, one set of china at a time.

What makes Around The Block unique?

Around The Block operates as a luxury home furnishing consignment store. What makes them unique is their inventory AND their staff. Around The Block handles such a wide range of items from so many time periods that their showroom is like a museum; only you can buy the items.

Their friendly and incredibly knowledgeable staff is always happy to answer customer questions, and point you in the direction of whatever you might be looking for on that particular day.


What's new in store?

Around The Block brings new items into their store every single day at 10am. Their website products tab is automatically sorted by what is newest in stock.

Around The Block - Plans for the Future

Around The Block is currently looking to expand their staffing, in both customer service and merchandising areas, as they have a surplus of inventory. In the next 3-5 years, Around The Block will most likely be looking to supplement our space with a second location, or will be looking to transfer everything to a new location.
