Outlooks Design

Big sky inspiration from Maxwell Fabrics's Spring 2021 release! Reflecting our collective desire for new horizons, the line's colour palettes and design motifs are masculine and bold, inspired by tropical landscapes. How can we incorporate them in your space?

Did you know we can take care of all your soft furnishings needs? We upholstered this headboard and added custom, pillows, cushions and bedding for our client's beautiful West Coast home. They wanted a calming atmosphere with subtle sophistication. We loved the finished look, and so did they.

Arbutus, the Pacific Madrona, is native to the western coastal areas of North America, from British Columbia to California. Its copper tones echo in the scenery around us on Vancouver Island, and are captured beautifully in these Stroheim Fabrics. Soft patterned velvet and rich embroidery inspires us for upholstery & drapery bringing the outdoors in!

This install of an Opaque Duette Power View Blind by Hunter Douglas that was 150 inches wide, covering a long span in one, was actually very discreet, designed to blend in with the wall colour. The original goal was for light control, and what a nice added benefit keeping the room cooler. Thanks for your kind words, Rob!

In a recent custom condo project, our lovely client wanted to have privacy on the lower section of her windows, which made Hunter Douglas’s Top Down/Bottom Up Duette the perfect choice, with a light filtering fabric to maximize light. With Power View motorization cords are eliminated, as is the inconvenience of having to operate each window separately. In the master bedroom the gorgeous drapery used throughout the condo both softened the room and offered darkness for sleeping... and a beautiful finish with its blackout lining. We used a tone-on-tone damask patterned Kravet fabric in muted greys and whites on a cotton & rayon ground cloth to create the quiet elegance the client was looking for. Form follows function . . . the result was beautiful and it works like a charm! Photo by Amanda Cribdon Photography.

How pretty is the play on blue and white in this dining room? The Hunter Douglas roman shades filter light without competing with the other design elements, and they prevent sun damage to the stylish dining furniture.

Window treatments are one of the best ways to bring design elements together for a cohesive visual story - beautifully shown in this condo. We worked with Hunter Douglas and Kravet on a truly stunning custom design of luxurious damask drapery and privacy blinds. We loved it -- and the client loved it too!
