MODERN WINDOW TREATMENTS - RAVI DESIGN, VANCOUVER

When we think modern minimalism, we don't necessarily think drapery ... however, it is the added textures of lush fabrics and the tailoring of window treatments that complete a room. I love the combination of modern interior detailing combined with the softness of lush, organic styling achieved with accessories, art and of course, the addition of stunning drapery panels. There is a subtle beauty in modern minimal architectural elements such as flush drywall details, oversized windows, polished concrete floors, recessed hidden light fixtures and frameless glass panels. Key to styling an interior is the layering of the final soft finishes that transform a space into an experience, turning a house into a personalized home. Window treatments are key elements to completing an interior; they can dramatically soften a space while providing practical functions such as protecting your furnishings from UV damage or providing additional insulation. Full height drapery panels can create drama in a space by emphasizing ceiling heights or create an ethereal feeling by filtering light into a room. Vancouver-based RAVI DESIGN is an exceptional company with which to work. Recently featured in Apartment Therapy, LA as a great source for modern window treatments through their flickr images, they are an incredibly talented team that produces craftsmanship of incomparable quality. Their attention to detail is unparalleled in the world of fabulous window coverings ... I highly recommend their work and love the opportunity to collaborate with them whenever possible.

MODERN FURNITURE - ISSUE #3 - NEW YORK

Only in New York ... can you find a store that showcases the sophisticated all "White on White" colour scheme. As an interior designer in Vancouver, I find some concepts are harder for the general public to accept such as a monochromatic colour scheme of classic white. It's so refreshing to enter a store showcasing bold dramatic proportions of scale with oversized light fixtures, an eclectic composition of the old and the new, high gloss lacquer classic traditional chairs upholstered in patent leather, white lacquer, white leather, white linen, chunky and oversized pieces with the clean lines of Asian influenced low seating and tables.

Another reason to go to the showroom is to be greeted by Gioacchino & Simona. It's not often to walk away from a showroom and feel genuinely welcomed ... Where first impressions mean everything and sometimes image reflects the kind of service you recieve. A casual walk in the city while wearing work-out gear & runners then sneaking a peak at a showroom for some inspiration - I was greeted at the door with the quality of service one should always feel whether you wear your armani suit or an old t-shirt and a pair of jeans.
