Chatelet

Specialties

A fusion of Shabby Chic, French Country, Hollywood Glam and Paris Apartment Style, the Châtelet design aesthetic is eclectic, whimsical and unabashedly feminine. Specializing in white-​painted furniture, mirrored furniture, beaded chandeliers and one-​of-​a-​kind vintage finds, Châtelet invites you to put your own spin on a look that is inherently individualistic, yet fundamentally collective. A feeling of connection to your home environment, nostalgia for things that have stood the test of time and — above all — joie de vivre is central to the Châtelet aesthetic and ethos.

In addition to Châtelet’s assortment of vintage and vintage-​inspired furniture, lighting and wall décor, not to mention our custom-​made offerings of headboards, furniture, lampshades and draperies, Châtelet also carries amazing gifts, home accessories, decorative drawer pulls, quilts, bedding and other miscellaneous beautiful things that you never knew you totally needed.

History

Established in 2005.

After operating her first store called Interior Excessories at 805 Queen St. West, Toronto, for seven years, Teresa sold that business, reinvented her brand as Châtelet and moved to the current flagship location at 717 Queen St. West in 2005. In 2013 Chatelet moved a few doors east to 699 Queen St. West in order to take advantage of a larger space and romantic backyard garden.
