Urban Barn South Granville

Vancouver home decor shops to help furnish your student pad

This Canada-wide chain has three locations around downtown Vancouver and is a great spot to do some serious shopping. The Granville Street store stocks furniture, wall decor, lighting, kitchen accessories, bedding and just about everything you need to outfit your home from top to bottom – or furnish your one-room dorm if that’s the case. Items here range from practical must-haves such as bedframes and office chairs to accents that are purely ornamental. Cast iron flying pig doorstoppers and throw pillows made with Mongolian sheep fur certainly aren’t necessities, but they add a pop of personality to any student space.
