The various neighborhoods are an eclectic mix of Victorian homes and modern, Scandinavian-style lofts. There is no one defining decorating style in Toronto. That means that an interior decorator has to be well versed in it all!\n\nThe diversity of neighborhoods stems from a wide-range in income and cultural traditions. Toronto\u2019s known worldwide for its multiculturalism! So how can you make sure that you can become the best of the best in such a dynamic city?\n\nBesides honing in on your craft through interior decorating courses<\/a>, you need to be diligent in your research. Don\u2019t waste time advertising to a demographic or a location where they won\u2019t respond to you! So where should you focus your attention? Here is an in-exhaustive list of some popular neighborhoods in the six that might need your services\u2026 keep reading!\n

Downtown Core<\/h3>\nThe average person who lives in the core is in their mid-30s. This highly educated and young population loves functionality and convenience. The highest earners usually reside in the center of Toronto. Such a densely populated core means an upswing in high-rise condos (near King Street or at Harbour Front).\n\nDepending on the tastes of the client, you\u2019ll likely work with someone who wants a hip and modern decorating style. Lots of neutrals with pops of color in art pieces! You\u2019ll have to be good at working with relatively smaller spaces. Expect floor-to-ceiling windows in these upscale living spaces. Ensuring these identical-looking properties reflects the unique interests of your each one of your clients will be your biggest challenge.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”11520″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” delay=”250″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

Cabbagetown<\/h3>\nThere is a higher percentage of 45-54 year olds in this area. You can expect plenty of single-person households or couples without children residing in this historic district. Cabbagetown has a high concentration of homeless shelters to the west- and south-ends of its boundaries. But affluent property owners and those from the nearby gay village also share the neighborhood. As such, the average household income is $151,990.\n\nAlthough originally the home to poor Irish settlers, the \u201870s saw the effects of gentrification. To fight back, residents started up initiatives to restore the Victorian-style housing. Now the neighborhood is home to \u201cone of the largest continuous area of preserved Victorian housing<\/a> in all of North America\u201d. Although the Victorian Bay-and-Gable or Romanesque style dominate the exteriors, the insides are another story. Industrial chic and effortlessly urban interiors, anyone? This may well be one of the most interesting neighborhoods to work in!\n

Rosedale<\/h3>\nOne of the most expensive areas to live in in all of Canada. This area is where you can expect \u201cold money\u201d families to reside. 25% of the population are over 65 years old, compared to the city rate of 16%. Over 30% of residents in Rosedale make over $200,000. One census tract within the area has an average income of $419,676! \u00a0If you\u2019re setting your sights on decorating mansions, look no further. This is the area for you!\n\nThese multi-million dollar homes boast high-style finishes and lots, and I mean lots,<\/em> of wood. Some homes have vaulted ceilings to elevate traditionally styled homes. Others are pushing the boundaries<\/a> of modern design. If you work in Rosedale, paying attention to the little details will afford you success. Luxurious designs mean your suppliers must be the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me. If you don\u2019t know where to get bespoke (custom) furnishings, you need to get your head in the game![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”11521″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%” delay=”250″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

The Beaches<\/h3>\nAlthough a generally wealthy neighborhood, the vibe at The Beaches is a 180 from Rosedale. This East-end neighborhood boasts a laid-back lifestyle. The origin of the name comes from the 4 beaches in the area. The boardwalk is beautiful, and the cute shops at Queen Street East give you the best of both worlds\u2014city liveliness and beach-side relaxation.\n\nInspired by the greenery of the parks and sand and water of the beaches, interiors of these homes invite nature inside. Lakeside properties orient around the blue waters. Expect windows as the focal point in these family-oriented homes, allowing plenty of sun to flood the insides of the residences. You may be an interior decorator, but many spend money on their back patios and gardens. Socializing within the tight-knit community is impressive, so familiarize yourself with furniture and decor that bring people together. Unique, non-functional d\u00e9cor pieces suitable for a gallery don\u2019t belong here!\n

Average Salary of an Interior Decorator<\/h3>\nIn 2015, the average median income in Toronto was $78,280. Compared to the rest of the country, 10.5% of Torontonians earned over $100,000 a year (as opposed to 8.7%).\n\nAn interior decorator can expect to make an average of $38,000 a year in Canada. In Toronto, depending on your experience, location, and range of services, you could make around $200 an hour! Of course, you aren\u2019t going to be working a 9-5 job. Don\u2019t expect to earn that much 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. However, there is lots of room to grow.\n\nYou could also charge between 5-10% of the total decorating job. These projects range widely in cost. Sometimes you\u2019ll decorate an entire multi-level mansion, and other times it\u2019ll be just one room. You could book back-to-back jobs or work overlapping timelines if you work hard and attend to what your clients want and need.\n\nIn such an eclectic city, you can\u2019t afford to not listen to your clients. The neighborhoods are so strikingly different that chances are, your clients will be, too.
