Discover the Benefits of Science in Design

Your home is more than just a place to live—it’s your personal sanctuary where you unwind and recharge, and it's more important than ever to create a space that nourishes our overall well-being. With over 70 years of expertise in Toronto’s home furnishings market, we’re excited to be Canada’s first Science in Design certified retailer.

But What is Science in Design? 

The unique Science in Design certification course focuses on the impact our surroundings have on our physical and mental health by bringing together elements of neuroscience, psychology, and cutting-edge design principles so our team of consultants and interior decorators are now trained to craft spaces that promote relaxation, increase productivity, and support your overall health.

We are thrilled and proud to be the first and only Canadian retailer to embrace the Science in Design approach. This certification gives our team a whole new level of service and expertise for our clients. We are going beyond selling furniture, and moving towards creating safe and comfortable retreats at home that enhance our clients' lives.

By understanding the subtle ways in which colour, light, patterns, and textures affect our mood and how we think, our team of certified graduates can truly guide clients toward choices that foster relaxation, support productivity, and promote general well-being.

We believe good design has the power to transform lives and with this certification, we're better equipped than ever to understand our clients' needs and create spaces tailor-made for a better everyday experience.

Still questioning whether a beautifully designed home is more than meets the eye?

• Nourishing Relaxation: Ever stepped into a living room filled with soft textures, calming colours, and strategically placed lighting? This sense of tranquility is exactly what a Science in Design expert can help you achieve - a space that actively melts away stress.
• Boosting Productivity: A home office designed with Science in Design principles in mind can enhance your focus and reduce mental fatigue. A certified team member can turn your workspace into a hub of creativity using optimal colour palettes and natural light.
• Designing for Well-being: Everyone deserves a home that supports their health and happiness. The Chesterfied Shop team can work through the complexities of aging-in-place design to create spaces that are both stylish and accessible, or help you create a child's bedroom that fosters creativity and a sense of security.
