Set Decorators
Expert set decorators bringing Canadian interiors to life—from Victorian heritage homes to contemporary West Coast modernism.
A set decorator selects and arranges the furnishings, artwork, drapery, and decorative details that bring a production designer's vision to life on screen. In Canada, this means working across a diverse design landscape shaped by British and French colonial traditions, Indigenous craft, and contemporary North American style—from the brownstones of Montreal's Plateau to the glass-and-timber homes of Vancouver's North Shore.
We connect you with Canadian set decorators who know where to source locally—from prop houses at Pinewood Toronto Studios and Vancouver Film Studios to antique dealers in Montreal's Mile End and Toronto's Queen West. Our network spans all major production hubs, with professionals experienced in dressing everything from remote wilderness cabins to downtown corporate towers.
