Canadian design is globally influenced design . We are a multi-cultural country with influences from all around the world . Our location within the country , the local culture and natural environment play a big part in influencing our design choices . Here on the West Coast , there is a real love for nature and an interest in preserving it so sustainable design is really important .

Canadian design is warm but fresh . Practical yet elevated . Clean but intriguing . I am forever inspired by our beautiful Canadian Prairies . The range of colors in our landscape , even in winter , always amazes me . On the Prairies , we are a practical people . Our clients gravitate toward materials that look great but can also stand up to the demands of life in the Prairies . We ’ re so integrated with nature here and I see that coming through in my design work with the use of natural materials and a variety of warm textures like linen , jute , wool , and leather . - Designer Kelsey Grose , www . farmersdaughterinteriors . com
