Stepping into Mio’s Furniture Fashions is like entering a carefully curated showroom of fine Canadian craftsmanship. Located at 261 Trunk Road, this trusted business has been part of the local community since 1986, when Alton’s Furniture & Drapery transitioned out of the space. Now, with nearly four decades of experience, Mio’s has evolved into a trusted name for high-quality furnishings and personalized service.
“We streamlined our suppliers to showcase the incredible skill and workmanship found right here in Canada,” says sales manager Audrey Overman. “It wasn’t a difficult choice—there are so many talented producers in our country.”
Overman notes that part of building Mio’s reputation as a premier source for furniture involves a hands-on approach from every staff member.
“Because our staff participates in the selection and placement of each piece, they take a personal interest in making sure every guest has a fantastic experience,” she adds.
One unique advantage Mio’s offers is the option to purchase items right off the showroom floor.
"If you like what you see, it can be yours,” Overman says. “We take great care of every piece on display, so customers can trust the quality they’re getting. There’s a real sense of ownership among the staff—it’s like they’re saying, ‘I chose that piece; I stand by it!’”
Also, Mio’s virtual shopping tours allow customers to see the latest vignettes and in-stock items updated daily. “It’s a fun and interactive way for guests to envision how a piece might look in their own home,” Overman explains.
Overman said there are many ways to protect your investment at Mio’s.
“We offer warranties through Phoenix Excelsior that cover unexpected accidents—spilled wine, mechanical issues, or finish defects—so there’s real peace of mind.”
Mio’s also provides specialized cleaning kits, conditioning products, and a dedicated service manager who can repair and refinish items that need extra attention.
Looking ahead, Overman reveals that the business has revamped its planning centers, giving customers the chance to experiment with different finishes, fabrics, and designs.
“It’s a fun, immersive experience that sparks inspiration,” she says. And as they continue to grow, Mio’s is searching for the right individual to join their sales team. “We want someone who genuinely enjoys learning, communicating, and creating an exceptional experience for our guests.”
