archways. Archways can elevate a room, enhancing the architectural features throughout a home by allowing the eye to travel from space to space while creating a sense of depth and continuance. While decorative elements like furniture and wallpaper have traditionally been items to set interior trends, the architecture of a space is starting to become the star of show. Homeowners and designers are beginning to implement this architectural design, making bold statements within their spaces, installations and concepts, both inside and out.
mauve. Mauve continues to make its way into interior and exterior spaces bringing a subtle hue of its sister Ultra Violet https://www.vitadaily.ca/lifestyle/ultra-violet-vinified-1.23190411, which was the 2018 Pantone Colour of the Year. Designers continue to implement the colour through diverse functions creating accent pieces, eye-catching textiles or statement creations that convey spiritual calmness throughout spaces. The statement colour can be seen at IDS Vancouver from design innovators like Benjamin Moore, Avenue Road and Locus Vie.
baltic plywood. Natural products continue to serve as a favourite for designers when creating statement pieces that bring the outdoor into interior spaces. Baltic plywood has become more frequently used to add nature’s touch while generating dramatic cutting-edge interior creations that become feature pieces within design-froward visions. This multi-purpose material can be seen within furniture, décor and architectural buildouts.
the pacific northwest. North America’s Pacific Northwest corridor has experienced a major design boom that has been especially embraced in Vancouver, where the design community has become vast and mighty. This Fall, IDS Vancouver launched its first book, Currents: Contemporary Pacific Northwest Design, an authoritative guide on PNW design highlighting 40 established and emerging design talents.
