Shop Love: 'Room To Dream' In Munich

I usually discover the coolest and prettiest interior design stores while traveling the world like this one or this one, both in Vancouver, Canada. Sometimes I really forget to look around in my hood, that is in Munich, and discover new and inspiring stores just here in front of my nose. Lucky enough I recently spotted a new interior store in downtown Munich during an online research. The website of 'Room to Dream' looked very promising so one Saturday morning I set off to check it out personally and the moment I entered the store I was enchanted.

When I walked in the store I was welcomed with a big smile by the shop owner Sabine Stadtherr. She showed me around her adorable little store packed with beautiful home décor, furniture pieces, home textiles and selected food items, most from Scandinavian design labels. After the little tour we sat down to enjoy a cup of freshly brewed jasmine tea and we chatted about interior design, design fairs, favorite products and brands. 

Later on I snapped a few pictures for you my readers and bought a few goodies for a friend's birthday. I was particularly drawn to Sabine's great styling in the shop - you can tell she loves interior styling and has a creative eye! I left the store an hour or so later, happy to have found a beautiful interior store in my town, happy to have found a likeminded, interior loving person and happy to have bought some beautiful goodies and taken lovely photos.

Now if you ever happen to be in Munich, you should not miss the opportunity to stop by at 'Room to Dream'. You won't leave it empty-handed, I am pretty sure.

Shop Love: Homewerx In Vancouver

Travel memories linger on for a long while. At least they do with me. And some very peculiar travel memories are my numerous visits to inspiring home décor and interior design shops around the globe. Last month I spent a few days in the Canadian city of Vancouver - you can read my blog post here. There, I discovered a few amazing interiors stores like this one and like today's shop love - Homewerx on Davie Street in the West End of Vancouver.

As an 'Urban Jungle Blogger' I was drawn into the store by the teasing sight of lots of greens in the store - the selection of air plants was immense as was the selection of creative terrariums and hanging planters. I was smitten by the rock crystals on offer (I had to buy one) as well as by the fine range of scented candles and stationery. 

Another highlight were the home textiles and décor elements - I spotted lots of Ferm Living there and was proud to see good European brands on the other end of the world. The rear end of the store has a good range of household products and crockery for stylish homes. Moreover, I learned that many interior stylists shop for props at Homewerx. 

Homewerx seeks to cater the modern lifestyle with a fine mix of home décor, home textiles, books, stationery and music, gourmet food and kitchen accessories, all carefully curated by the shop owner. I was absolutely charmed by the shop and loved every bit of it. As you can imagine, I didn't leave the store empty handed. And I doubt anyone of you would have.

What do you think of today's shop love?

Shop Love: 'Provide' In Vancouver

This Monday I took you to Vancouver with this blog post and today I want to show you one of the fabulous interiors stores I'd discovered while in the Canadian metropolis. But first, this story requires a little foreword: I did not find Provide by coincidence. The great advantage of being a blogger is a great international network of blogger friends. It happened that my Canadian friend, interior designer and blogger Nyla noticed that I am going to Vancouver and she told me about her favorite interiors store in town. We tweeted about it and a minute later the shop owners replied on Twitter saying that they are looking forward to meeting me. I checked the address and a few hours later I was on my way to Provide.

Provide is run by the owners David Keeler and Robert Quinnell and features a well curated collection of furniture, home textiles, tableware, and home décor. The collection has a contemporary vibe and is modern yet remaining warm and inviting for different tastes and interior styles. During my visit, the store was highlighting beautiful autumn hues like all shades of blues and yellow - I need not mention that I was totally enchanted by one of my favorite colour combinations. But Provide is more than just an interiors store: The Provide team also provides (catchword) an interior design service for their clients.

I was very happy to be welcomed in the store and free to roam around and snap pictures for you my readers. I chatted with one of the owners and also learned that they will be exhibiting at the upcoming Maison & Objet in Paris so who knows, maybe we will see each other again pretty soon. And if you happen to be at M&O, watch out for the inspiring folks of Provide.

But for now I will let you roam around the shop with me and discover the beautiful interior design goodies through these pictures. I hope you like it. I loved it.

You can find Provide on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, too.
