The main accessory at IDS18

February 2, 2018 By Lisa Goulet

So what was the main accessory that you saw everywhere at IDS18?

It was plants, plants and more plants! Take a look at just a few of them and get your gardening gloves out.

Somehow, I missed the name of this booth, if you know it, please let me know and I’ll add it in.

The Seedlip booth had the most beautiful botanicals and they received lots of attention.

Mobilia’s booth was divided up into different rooms with different themes and it was a stunner. Here’s just a few pics from a couple of the rooms, with lots of green!

And how about these interesting globe lights on stands. Perfect to light up a dark corner.

A little nod back to the 70’s in this vignette, with those hanging plants and a shaggy throw pillow.

And my favourite booth, Benjamin Moore’s living space, had lots of greenery and an especially cute little clementine tree. Now I want one. I wonder how long it takes to actually get fruit that you can eat, assuming of course, it survives.

Homebody Collective had the cutest little cactuses and airplants displayed. The bottom containers are actually moulded from avocado skins.

I couldn’t resist and came home with these two. They can be placed on their sides and used as a ring holder as well. I love a multi-purpose!

Lighting at IDS18

January 31, 2018 By Lisa Goulet

Lighting is always a big feature at IDS and this year was no exception. Here’s a few of my favourites.

These gossamer cloud like pendants were so beautiful IRL, they just looked like they were floating up in the air. Here’s another look at them. The whole Biefbi Cucine booth was beautiful in fact, a dream kitchen!

From Cofo design, an original chandelier, again that was airy and cloud like.

These are 3D printed lights from Decimal. So light and sculptural. Do you see the trend in all these lights, all are inspired by clouds and light and airy. Not heavy at all and made of alternative materials.

Don’t forget your lighting, it can be your light source and your art all in one!

Handmade at IDS18’s Studio North

January 29, 2018 By Lisa Goulet

The 70’s influence was definitely being revisited in the decor at IDS18. Handmade and bespoke items are still being showcased and Studio North is the perfect place to see what’s next in design.

Large scale knitted upholstery and macrame rugs, lights and art were the key features at these booths. These lights are totally familiar to me, as they are very similar to one I had myself as a teenager. Totally dating myself…..

I missed the names of these booths, so if anyone knows, please message me and I’ll add the credit.

Custom leather and wood stools and leather tent shaped lighting was featured at Atelier C.U.B.

Gypsy Potter Studio had beautifully patterned pottery on display. Would you believe horsehair is used to create most of the designs? It is placed on the pottery before firing and it is a surprise as to how the final product will look.

Dusil Design had these stunning barn doors that have been embellished with metal sculpture. Amazing!

Locus VIE & Hidraulik showcased their beautiful floorcloths, which are made to look like concrete tiles. They also did placemats in these designs. So pretty and practical!

And of course there was this unbelievable rug from W Studio. I was there and it’s still hard for me to believe it was a rug.

IDS18 observations

January 25, 2018 By Lisa Goulet

I’m just back from Toronto’s Interior Design Show (IDS18) that was held last weekend. And I thought I’d share a few of my observations about the show over the next while.

For me, the Benjamin Moore booth totally summed up the show and what’s happening in decor at the moment. It had the pattern (in the tiled floor and the fireplace), the neutral and jewel tones (in the furnishings and artwork), and the greenery that was everywhere. And it was eclectic, the envelope of the room was traditional with the black and white checked floor and panelled wall treatment, the fireplace was mediterranean inspired and the furnishings were all mid-century modern.

Could you live in this space? I certainly could.
