Western Canada’s largest interior design show has come to town, and I shouldered my way through the throngs of Vancouver’s beautiful people to give you a sneak peek of the goodies in store. Even three hours barely got me through the event, and I’ll need to return Saturday to bring you coverage of some of the most exciting exhibits that I’ve missed in my gallery below!
Some of the must-see exhibits include the Inform Interiors display, The Future Masters as well as the young designers area, The Re-Fab display of re-used sail material from Canada Place, the L41 200 sq. foot house by Michael Katz, the Molo soft shelter, and so so so much more.
Tomorrow is House & Home Day, presented by IKEA, and Sunday is Vancouver Sun Day, presented by General Paint. Tickets are only $15 for today and tomorrow, well worth it to see some stunning design collected under one roof. Check out IDSwest.com for all the details!
Very cool coloured sinks by Blu Bathworks

I ran into Ross Lovegrove, award winning designer and keynote speaker for IDSwest. He will be available from 3–5 PM tonight!
Jeremy Cole, ceramic and lighting designer, spoke at IDSwest Friday. Some of his arresting lighting designs can be seen at the event.
