Home Decorating: Hamilton Edition
Looking to furnish and decorate your home in Hamilton? Sure we’ve got the typical big box retailers, but there are so many independent shops selling new and used furniture, decor, housewares, wall art, and pretty much anything else you need to make your house feel like home.

Art
Don’t forget your walls. Hamilton has so many great artists to choose from, but here are some of my favourites:
- Julia Veenstra’s vibrant Canadian landscapes add joy to any room.
- Dark sense of humour? Same. Check out Wolf Dottir’s subversive china plates.
- Gord Leverton paints graphic urban landscapes – you can also find his work at Caro Restaurant or on some Collective Arts bottles
- Sand & Fireworks – Hanna does beautiful, small batch stained glass work
- Stev’nn Hall – Mixed Media artist – gorgeous, large-scale pieces that are magical in person
- Dope Chief is a contemporary artist with a psychedelic pop aesthetic.
- There’s nothing like a Jelly Brothers print to show your love for your neighbourhood, high school or favourite Hamilton landmark.
