This March, Vaughan celebrates eight years of Zilli Home Interiors, the city’s premier destination for all things interior design.

It’s been eight years since independent interior design boutique Zilli Home first opened its doors, which continue to welcome clients from Vaughan and beyond.

Founder and president Natalie Papia established Zilli Home as a haven for style-savvy homeowners, industry professionals and decor admirers. Stocked with high-quality, avant-garde designs, the shop has blossomed into one of the city’s favourite style destinations. Catering to nearly every room of the home, the 22,000-square-foot shop houses more than 60 fully accessorized room settings, wall decor and other accents. These products are categorized into four lifestyle collections including Urban Chic, Modern Classics, Sophisticated Elegance and Timeless Classics.

In order to keep the shop stocked with the latest trends and innovative styles, Papia sources products with the best reputations and combs through trade shows throughout the year. She is also passionate about supporting Canadian-made products. She takes her relationships with her vendors quite seriously, claiming it’s important to promote not only locally made, but also quality-made pieces.

By putting an immense amount of thought and care into each of the collections she curates, the business owner and mother of three has created an environment for homeowners and industry professionals that encourage creativity. After all, home decoration is the one aspect of housekeeping that can summon the inner artist in almost anyone.

“Although everyone is fashionable and has good sense of what we want, sometimes it’s difficult to make it a reality in the home,” says Papia, whose favourite room to design is the family room. “Our design consultants are not your typical salesperson, but rather an individual who is certified in home decor and is therefore able to go to the client’s home and help them with their space planning and to help them pull a room together.”

After eight years of successfully transforming Vaughan homes into blissfully beautiful habitats, Papia looks forward to many more years of Zilli Home. And now that the shop has blossomed into a full-fledged team of experts who are as passionate as they are visionary, the city can’t wait to see what other residential makeovers it performs.

“I have an amazing team, and it’s because of them — the individuals that clients meet every single day coming into the store — that Zilli Home continues to do as well as it does,” says Papia. “We’re here seven days a week promoting the same vision of fashion, quality and selection.”
