Stretch Ceilings
Stretch ceilings are a design innovation that’s taken Europe by storm and has now arrived in Canada. These ceilings feature a thin, lightweight PVC film, durable yet flexible, mounted on an aluminum track system affixed to existing ceilings or walls. The real magic? The ability to print any image directly onto your ceiling, transforming any room into a haven of positivity and beauty.
While walls often steal the spotlight in interior design, the ceiling is an untapped canvas for creativity. Imagine gazing up at your own personalized sky, adorned with fluffy clouds or a celestial landscape. With stretch ceilings, the possibilities are limitless.

Nature Inspired Flooring
There’s a growing trend towards incorporating natural elements, textures, and colors into our living spaces. One unexpected way to really bring the great outdoors into your home is through your flooring, but not just any regular wood flooring.
Foglie d’Oro’s exquisite floor tiles are where nature’s beauty meets artistic craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from the organic shapes of flowers, the Petali geometric floor tiles look like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Imagine installing these stunning tiles in a sun-drenched room or a grand entryway, where natural light can dance across their surfaces.

Hemp Wool Insulation
Personally, I love this one. Hemp wool is a revolutionary thermal insulation product that could change the eco-friendly building game.
It’s available in a panelized, batt-like form, and is versatile enough to be used anywhere in your home, whether it’s your walls, floors, ceilings, or attics. With an insulation factor of R3.7/inch, it stands shoulder to shoulder with other popular insulation options like fiberglass, mineral wool, or sheep’s wool.
But here’s where it gets exciting! Hemp wool has a negative carbon footprint. That’s right, it actually absorbs and stores more carbon dioxide than it emits during manufacturing. Also, it’s non-toxic, mold-resistant, non-irritating, and resistant to pests, among many other perks.
