“We love...”

Danish design...
If you've been lucky enough to visit any part of Denmark you'll know what I'm talking about...



I only started to really understand what Danish design was all about after I'd strolled around Copenhagen and window shopped (it was about all I could afford at the time...). Just about every other store was full of...Design. The Danes are born with it, they “bathe” in it in their daily lives, and they truly understand it.

Wishing you a Healthy and Happy 2011

The design at distance Team wish you all health and happiness in this New Year. May all your projects be realized and fill your rooms with joy!

Canadian Designers & European Experience : the best of both worlds!

design at distance uses Canadian designers for the North American market.
Why? Because they understand North American tastes and lifestyles. Inject our European roots and experience to the mix and the result is a greater functionality in the use of space, a true understanding of contemporary design, and a certain "European elegance".
Now that's a mix that makes a difference to your home!

In the Series "How to..."

Get the best from your designer.

A good designer works with you, researching aspects of your lifestyle in relation to your space.  A good designer pushes you to be specific about your plans for the space, and about your style preferences, so you should start a project by thinking about yourself... 

Identify your needs: what you like...and don't like about your home and which items of furniture you want to have integrated into the design.  Write down what you want to use the room for. Identify who'll be using it, during what times of the day, and the atmosphere you'd like to feel in that space. Delve into the details so that you are armed with well thought out answers when your designer starts their research.

Knowledge is power! So empower the potential of your room by getting well prepared...to get the best from your designer!
