Deck the Halls with Y.A.M. Magazine and Meade Design Group!

YAM Christmas 2012We’ve done it again! Y.A.M Magazine recently consulted Meade Design Group for the latest holiday decorating ideas – and the vertically endowed tree in our studio made the cover!

It was so much fun to have a shoot in our own studio – and who can resist the face on that adorable little French Bulldog, Luba! To prepare for it, we’ve had our tree up for over a month… Echito was very excited to get such a big head start on the holiday celebrations, and we are all now feeling the joy of the season!

This issue is out now, so if you live in Victoria, be sure to pick one up for yourself today!

Zen Style Residence – The Resort to Heart

Zen Style Residences BookMeade Design Group’s interiors shall live on forever in hard cover form!!! We just got the book entitled Zen Style Residences where our interior design project “Marifield” appears within their glossy pages.

For this project, we wanted to achieve a look that was effortless yet sleek, refined, warm and comfortable. We combined rich tones of sepia, burnt orange and charcoal in a range of textures and patterns to form a warmly layered, lived-in-ambiance.  The custom designed fireplace emphasizes the height and creates an  interesting focal point, counter-balanced by the commissioned art piece hung above the sofa.

It is so cool to see our designs published in a book with information written in two languages – and it’s a beautiful book at that! To see more of this project, check out the article on our media page!

‘Meade Design’s Room with a View’

Design Edge - Meade Design's room with a viewWe are happy to spread the word that our studio was recently featured in a great design magazine – but not the kind we’re usually featured in…

For the May/June issue of DesignEdge – a leading Canadian magazine for Graphic Design, they wanted to tour some of the most beautiful, interesting and functional graphic design studios, and what better firm to feature than Meade Design Group? With us being a graphic and interior design studio we think we made for a pretty good entry in the issue!

The issue is out now, so be sure to check it out for a little something different for us – a new angle on our downtown Victoria studio!

What Luxury Means Today

What Luxury Means Today TalkOur presentation at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s ‘Let’s Talk Design’ Series was on Friday, and we are so pleased to report that it was a hit! We gave our lecture on ‘What Luxury Means Today’ to a sold-out crowd.

Thank you so much to all of the attendees, the Art Gallery, and of course our sponsors, Y.A.M. Magazine and Gabriel Ross, for your support of this event!

Our topic touched on everyday indulgences, where to invest in your home, pampering yourself, sustainability, and embracing your true style – make everything you do your own and live it with pride!

Thank you again for all of your support!

 

Adding a lot of Luxuries into a Little Space

Times Colonist - Hotel ChicIn anticipation of our presentation at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s ‘Let’s Talk Design’ series, The Times Colonist has written an article on our recently completed interior design project at the Hudson, here in Victoria BC.

Many thanks to the writer, Grania Litwin, who interviewed us so carefully and really noticed all of the little details we incorportated into the project. She was able to keep the article focused on a strong belief of ours and topic for our presentation: it’s how you put things together, not how expensive they are.

We feel it’s a great representation of our project and teaser for our presentation at the art gallery next weekend – Our presentation is ‘What Luxury Means Today’ and will take place on Friday evening, April 20th at 7 PM – we hope to see all of you there!
