Back in Style?!

I recently picked up a local publication that declared "Wallpaper is back in style!"  We had a bit of a laugh and thought "Uh a little late on the draw guys..."  Did wallpaper really ever go out of style?  Sure, it's back in style in North America, but it never really went out of vogue in many parts of the world.  The papers we are seeing are works of art, more whimsical, colourful and possess a sense of irony. Wallpaper is often cheaper and makes more of a dramatic impact than a painting.  It is so easy to see why everyone is loving wallpaper lately!  Check out some of the papers catching our eye these days...

Wonderful White

Look at these amazing spaces, so airy, so filled with light. They almost seem to be floating. We can’t get enough white!
“White is not a mere absence of color; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black. God paints in many colors; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white. ”
G.K. Chesterton

Eastern Influences

Come along with us today as we take you on a visual journey to Morocco.  At Love Design Company, we are fascinated with all things Moroccan.  We love the intense punches of rich, bold colour, hand stitched leather poufs, exquisite inlaid mirrors, painted shutters and distressed mosaic floors.  It's a feast for your eyes!  Enjoy...

Rain, Rain Go Away....

Hi, welcome to our very first blog post! If you’re like us, then you are mighty sick of the rain in Vancouver at this time of year. We can’t think of a better way to kick off our blog than by sharing photos of some gorgeous spring flowers to get us revved up for the season ahead. We’ve been spying tons of vibrant florals in the new spring home decor collections too! I can’t wait to get my hands on the hot pink and white duvet cover by Designers Guild below.

P.S. Maybe if we’re lucky tomorrow, we might even catch a glimpse of that big yellow thing in the sky called the Sun!
