Calgary’s first online interior-designer-owned decor consignment is the solution you need to consign your gently loved, trendy, newer decor and artwork for the most money, faster!
Responding to 20 messages and scheduling times to meet buyers just to have them no-show and low-ball you is not worth it.
Let us consign your decor in bulk and take care of all that hassle for you.
What makes Unshelf Design Consignment Boutique successful?
We sell the majority of our consigned items as part of professionally styled vignettes. These designer-styled and professionally photographed decor bundles are curated from various consigners to create complementary styling vignettes. These vignettes make interior decorating appealing for buyers, meaning your items sell for more than they would on their own.
Here’s how it works
