1. Accent Sofa

An accent sofa is the simplest way to incorporate green into your living room. We love using our green velvet sofa in stagings to give a rom that instant ‘oomph’.

When selecting your shade of green, make sure the undertones don’t clash with your existing furniture, paint colours, and flooring. Typically, lighter greens give off a more fresh and youthful vibe, whereas darker greens represent ambition, safety, and lushness.

This one’s pretty self explanatory. Since everyone’s style is different, and artwork is so personal, it’s hard for us to recommend specific pieces.

However, if you live in Greater Vancouver and want to pick up some quality artwork at reasonable prices, we recommend checking out the Flow Furniture Lounge. Open on Thursdays and Fridays from 12pm-5pm, and we are constantly bringing in new furniture, accessories, and artwork. We hope to see you soon!

Still unsure about how to decorate with green, or need help with selecting the perfect shade of green for your home?

We offer interior design and shopping & styling services! Give us a call at 604-674-8884, or email hello@flowsmartliving.com to get started.

Interior Decorator

An Interior Decorator uses fabrics, furnishings, and accessories to change the aesthetics and impressions of a space, while working within its functionality. After taking measurements, photos, and obtaining the floor plan, an interior decorator will create a design concept that can include fabrics, flooring, furnishing, lighting, fixtures, accessories, paint, and art.

 Did you know we offer all three services?

Have you ever stepped into a beautiful home but something just felt off?

Choosing a staging company is a big decision, and price shouldn’t be the only factor you’re considering. At the end of the day, in order to sell your properties quickly and for the highest price possible, you’ll need to market to the right buyers and make them fall in love!

Here at Flow, we take the time to listen to your needs before creating a custom staging plan based on who you are marketing to, and also the architecture of the property itself. With 13 years of experience, we’ve staged thousands of homes in the Greater Vancouver area. Our team of designers and warehouse full of quality furniture will ensure your property gets elevated. You won’t find cookie cutter designs here!

Winter is here, and according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, it will be filled with so many ups and downs on the thermometer, they had no choice but to dub it the “polar coaster” winter. Sadly, we can’t change the weather, but we can decorate our home to make it feel more warm and inviting. Here are some of our favourite cozy winter accents!

Prepare your home for the season by layering in textured bedding, throws, and pillows (layering adds more visual interest). Anything with a chunky knit, tassels, and/or faux fur will do the trick. Incorporating pops of colour will also help fend away the winter blues. If you’re not into bright colours, muted, pastel tones will also do the trick (we love a good muted pink)!

Here are some of our favourite local stores for your next shopping spree:
