10 Ways to Bring Canadian Style into Your Home
It's only fair to share...
This year is the 150th anniversary to celebrate our beloved country, Canada. Why not show your patriotism by bringing some Canadian style into your home? We found some must-have accessories and ideas that will definitely show off your love for this beautiful country, while making your home look spectacular.
- Canoe Art: Bring some Canadian flavour into your home with canoe art. Whether you’re adding a piece of framed artwork featuring a canoe, repurposing a canoe paddle as a wall-mounting coat rack, or thinking right outside the box and making a unique headboard, canoe art is where it’s at.
- Canadian Accessories: Bringing some fun Canadian accessories into your home is a light-hearted way to add Canadian culture into your space. As Canadians, we love our unique expressions and we’re pretty good at poking fun at ourselves. These adorable pillows are fun ways to show Canadian pride.
- Natural and Raw Wood: When you think about Canada, most people think about the great outdoors. Adding natural wood into your space is a great way to bring out that rustic, cottage atmosphere. This live edge coffee table is a great example of a stunning, raw wood piece you can add to your home.
- Red and White Anyone? What better way to say you’re proud to be Canadian than to have some red and white colours throughout your space? Something as simple as adding some red and white pillows and candles to your home is a great way to infuse a Canadian atmosphere to your home.
- Hockey Décor: Nothing says Oh-Canada better than having hockey décor in your home. Whether that be a framed jersey, or something small like a hockey-themed sign. Adding a little hockey love within your space definitely says that you’re proudly Canadian.
- Canadian Fragrances: The scent of someone’s home helps shape the first impression a visitor or potential buyer has when they first enter. If you want a more subtle approach to adding some Canadian love to your home, why not use some uniquely Canadian scents? These include maple, pine and camp fire, or even crisp autumn apples. This is a great way to add a little Canadian flavour to your home in an understated way.
- Lodge Style: Your new favourite lodge can be the one you wake up in every day. Adding a distinctly northern feel into your décor with moose or caribou art is a great way to pay homage to the Canadian wilderness. If you’re looking for a modern twist, these hand-painted, faux-animal head mounted sculptures are a great way to create a lodge feel in an elegant, fresh way. For something even more rustic, moose throw pillows or even a distressed wood moose heads are great options. Consider adding some plaid accents. This timeless pattern looks particularly good on throws and pillows.
- Cozy Fireplace: When we think about creating a Canadian space, we imagine a warm, inviting atmosphere. What better way to create this than by adding a rustic fireplace to your space? A fireplace is a great way to instantly create a cozy atmosphere year-round that also serves as a focal point of your home.
- Pine and Maple: Pine and maple are synonymous with Canada. Adding some distinctly Canadian building materials to your design is a fantastic way to pay tribute to the true north strong and free. The natural colour scheme that these woods create also adds to the overall design of your space.
- Greenery: Canadians love to be outdoors. Why not bring the outdoors in by adding a little greenery to your space? Bringing some Canadian plants into your home can help add the freshness of the outdoors inside your space.
If you aren’t keen on greenery, try adding some decor of the outdoors to help bring out that warm outdoorsy feeling. Some great Canadian landscape art would be a perfect addition to your Canadian-inspired space.
