See In 3D

One of the things that we realized while working on our projects is that not everyone is able to visualize how things will look together or what the finished product will be.  One of the services that we offer is 3D computer renders to better illustrate the completed room.  3D renders have come such a [...]

Gwyneth Paltrow…the designer?

Gweneth Paltrow designed the cutest bedroom for her daughter Apple.  It was featured in an US Weekly magazine back in 2007.  The not so practical but still adorable pink room featured monogrammed  pillow shams and a white carpet. Now the buzz is that Madonna has asked her to design the room of Mercy James, her [...]

Glass Tiles

Glass tiles…..they’re nothing new….they have been around for quite some time now…..been used over and over again countless times and are bordering on becoming boring.  I first saw this new glass tile featured in one of the recent Canadian Style at Home magazines.  Made locally in North Vancouver by the company Edgewater, these back painted glass tiles can [...]

Add Sparkle to your Lighting

Lighting….one of the toughest items to choose.  Mainly because there are so many different options out there.  It gets overwhelming very fast!  If you can narrow down the material you would like to have, you’ll make your task easier.  I’m loving the look of the metal chandeliers.  Whether your style is traditional, contemporary or modern, [...]

Keeping it Organized!

When I came across this fantastic sculptural-looking shoe rack called ‘kick it’ designed by Furch, I left my life of old, linear, bulky, and boring shoe racks behind.  Though it has a hefty price tag at around $2,500…this is a piece you have to view as a piece of art or sculpture!  So next time [...]

Black is truly Back…

SO why are most of us always afraid to go bold?  I was thinking recently just how much I appreciated residential, retail, or even hotel spaces that utilized black into their interior spaces.  It’s a colour that wont ever go out of style, and provides a captivating look that surely will turn heads!  Maybe you’re [...]

Rocking Out!

  Rocking your way through life-imagine it- it just seems a little more calm, peaceful, and relaxing…doesn’t it?  Well fascinated with rocking chairs myself, I just had to see what was available; though something that wouldn’t look like Granny’s or Grandpa’s chair. BUT if it did, it had to be re-packaged in something a little more [...]

Turning it on it’s Side!

So have you been looking for a shelving unit, but all you’re finding are boxes upon boxes of cube shleving units?  WELL doing my regular rounds on ETSY; a website that connects consumers with handcrafted goods/items, I came across this wonderful shelving unit that truly thinks outside that “box!”  Ispired from Mid Century Eames Era [...]

A Little Off Balance

Fireplaces are always focal points in anyone’s home, and I find that sometimes we try too hard to make them stand out and in the end it just seems so contrived, symmetrical, and sorry to say: just plain boring!  We at Kalu like to offer dynamic options; layouts that have balance but as well achieve assymetry [...]
