These unexpected home décor haunts, handpicked by interior designer Heather Draper of The Heather Company in Mount Royal, are sure to put your space in a spring state of design:
counter culture: Inject a jolt of colour, an infusion of culture and an unexpected element all in one go at Bhatia Cloth House in Falconridge. A bright, bold sari with intricate embroidery offers a quick, unpredictable design pick-me-up as artwork, custom throw pillows or even a tablecloth. Bhatia Cloth House, 1001-5075 Falconridge Blvd. NE, Calgary, 403-293-3369, bhatiaclothhouse.com
#HeatherHint: Saris are typically six yards long, with one yard of very embellished embroidery. Frame that and use the rest as a tablecloth to get an instantly unified look.
state of the art: Flex your creative muscles beyond your walls with an exquisite one-of-a-kind piece from Circa Vintage Art Glass in Inglewood. With its whirlwind of colours, shapes and statement pieces, this glass gallery is like a visit to the Mad Hatter’s vision of spring: truly a wonderland. Circa Vintage Art Glass, 1226A Ninth Ave. SE, Calgary, 877-290-0145, circa5060.ca
#HeatherHint: Consider your fireplace mantle, dining table or entryway landing area as options for placement. Put gorgeous glass art where your eye will naturally go to make sure it gets noticed.
a little bit country: If you love a Sunday drive, and an excuse to indulge in a delicious lunch and a home treasure hunt, look no further. All Through the House & Red Barn Mercantile in Okotoks, which reopens March 28th after its winter break, is an architectural salvage enthusiast’s dream, perfect for adding a touch of country whimsy or chic industrial style to your abode—all at the right price. allthroughthehouse.ca
#HeatherHint: Breathe new life into overly quirky pieces with a fresh coat of white paint. Four ceramic garden frogs lined up on the mantle in the same matte white? Hello, spring!
