Workshops
Our mission is to inject joy into people’s lives through the power of interior design. And our passion is to empower people to create spaces that they feel proud of and that hug them every time they walk in. To achieve this, we host monthly design workshops in Calgary at our Design Lab geared towards ‘moments’ in the home, intentionally situated around holidays, special days, or simply the weather!
Featured workshops: Our signature hands-on design workshops cover the basics of design and styling. Held recurring throughout the year.
Monthly workshops: Our designer mini-workshops highlight unique and fun styling opportunities alongside special days of the year. Held once per year.
Book ahead! We only have space for 6-10 people per workshop

Do you have the design itch? Ready to mix things up in your home? Want to tackle those projects that have been on the ‘to do list’ since you bought the place? Tired of walking into ‘that’ room and feeling stress instead of joy? Maybe you are flipping a house and want to make sure the finishes you choose will attract the widest audience!

Styled Vignette
How do those HGTV shows curate such beautiful centerpieces, or perfectly position coffee table books with flowers and a sweets bowl (do people even use that sweets bowl?)? What about those entry table items that welcome you in and look like they were plucked out of a magazine?
