Flow Smart Living + Interiors has been staging homes in the Greater Vancouver area since 2007. Approaching home staging with a waste-reducing mindset, we strongly believe reusing and recycling is the way of the future.
About 4 years ago, we opened our Furniture Lounge, where we sell floor model, designer-picked furniture at affordable prices. We are looking for a part-time Sales Associate/Assistant Stager to help run our store, and assist with staging related tasks from Wednesday-Friday.

If you’re a motivated self-starter with a passion for furniture and design, we’d love to hear from you! This position will be based out of our Furniture Lounge/warehouse in Strathcona. To apply, please email hello@flowsmartliving.com with your resume and cover letter.
We thank all applicants in advance for their interest; however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
Bordered by Chinatown to the west, and Clark Drive to the east, Strathcona is Vancouver’s oldest and most diverse commercial and residential neighbourhood.
Many people immediately think ‘Downtown Eastside’ when they think ‘Strathcona’. While it’s true that most of the Downtown Eastside lies within Strathcona, this up-and-coming neighbourhood is very popular with millennials. Strathcona is home to many craft breweries, trendy restaurants, street art, and small businesses (including us!).
We want to take this opportunity to show you the real Strathcona — our Strathcona.
Here are the top 7 places you must check out when visiting this historical neighbourhood:
As we mentioned, there are plenty of craft breweries in Strathcona. Strathcona Beer gets a special shout out because they’re literally 3 doors down from us! Try their Beach Radler (a light, citrus-y beer that’s perfect for the summer), any of their IPA’s, or one of their delicious pizzas (prosciutto & arugula is our go to)!
The Garden is another cool place that’s super close to us (this one’s right across the street from Flow)! The Garden is a cafe, bakery, and shop. Go grab a cup of their Equinox Espresso blend (a partnership with Agro Roasters, another Strathcona neighbour), sample one of their yummy pastries (baked in-house), and just enjoy the beautiful, enchanted atmosphere.
Looking for some Instagram inspiration? La Casa Gelato is a Strathcona staple that’s been been around since 1982. Not only is the entire building pink, they also have 238+ gelato flavours in store! It may sound overwhelming, but you get to taste as many flavours as you want before making your decision (just buy a token at the counter when you enter the store). They have classic flavours like vanilla and chocolate for the purists, but we recommend tasting some of their more adventurous flavours too, like wasabi or garlic!
If you’re an aspiring master chef, you’ll love The Gourmet Warehouse. Started in 1998, The Gourmet Warehouse is a 19,000 sq.ft. warehouse that carries specialty ingredients and cookware essentials. Looking white truffle butter, a tagine, or want to dabble into molecular gastronomy? The Gourmet Warehouse is the place to go.
Voted “Best Cheese Shop” by readers of The Georgia Straight, The Westender, and The Courier, les amis du FROMAGE is a family owned and operated specialty cheese store. Their original store is in Kitsilano, but luckily for us, their second location is literally a 15 second walk from our office. Want to impress your friends at the next gathering? les amis du FROMAGE offers high quality local and imported cheeses (cut to order), charcuterie and antipasto platters, and cheese wedding cakes. Yes, you heard us — a cheese wedding cake! How amazing does that sound?
With local rotating craft beers and wine on tap, The Heatley is a bar, eatery, and just an all-around cool spot to hang out at. More of a cocktail person? Try their Apparition cocktail (tequila, rosemary syrup, fresh cut cucumber, lime juice, tonic, and a sprig of rosemary to garnish). The Heatley also hosts DJ’s and live music almost every night of the week. You know where to find us after work!
We couldn’t end this list without mentioning our very own Furniture Lounge. Located right next to our office, we sell some of our gently used staging furniture for half of the retail price! Open 3 days a week, Flow brings in new pieces whenever another one’s sold (unlike other staging companies who do annual furniture sales). Because of this, you can always expect something new when you come to our Furniture Lounge.
We don’t believe in compromising on style and quality when buying furniture for your home. And this is why our Flow Furniture Lounge opened its doors almost one year ago, bringing a different concept: offer amazing pricing on stylish and high quality home staging furniture that have been used only for our staging projects.
Why is home staging furniture a good alternative for your home?
It’s been gently used. All the furniture pieces available at the Lounge have been used only for our home staging projects. This means that they have never been used by other home owners or they have a seldom use as sometimes people live in their home and use the furniture. These pieces have always been moved by professional movers, and displayed in different houses or apartments.
It’s less expensive. The brands that we have available are all mid to high quality, such Sunpan, Moes Home Collection, Mobital or Style in Form. The retail price on these stores could be quite expensive sometimes. But the price that we offer at our Lounge is between 20-50% off their retail prices.
It’s better quality. We only work with the best furniture suppliers in Canada. When we purchase new pieces to grow our home staging furniture inventory, we always keep style and quality in mind. All the pieces available at our Lounge meet our quality standards, offering style and durability.
Our professional team is here to help! We can help you create your ideal living space to reflect your personality and lifestyle with hands-on decorating insight, space planning and styling advice. Bring your pictures and measurements and let us do the rest!
You’re supporting local business! When you purchase staging furniture from our Lounge, you not only get the best deal on high quality furnishings for your home, but you are also supporting your community!
Come visit us and check out the accessories and furniture pieces are available at our Flow Lounge! If you have any questions, you can call us at (604) 674-8884 or send us an email at hello@flowsmartliving.com
