Schwartz & Ko. Interior Design
We are a boutique full service interior design firm located in Toronto, Canada. We are passionate about all things interiors. Rather than being defined by a single style, we approach each project through its own unique lens, paying close attention to its architectural character and more importantly the clients wishes. No project is too big or small. We work with architects and builders from initial drawings right through to accessorizing and everything in between. We look forward to working with you!
