Design Scout: 14 outdoor furniture finds in the King Street East design area

Summer is in full swing and so is the annual urge to relish every possible outdoor moment before Labour Day. Garden decor has become big business in Toronto, with people rushing to splurge on everything from full outdoor rooms to portable accessories that can be enjoyed year-round.

For this chapter of Design Scout, we visited three major outdoor furniture design shops in the King Street East neighbourhood: Andrew Richards Designs, Jardin de Ville and Fresh Home and Garden. Check out some of our finds, because we think it might be time to do more than just pot a plant and put out some paper lanterns. See our 14 picks after the jump.
