Why do we design premium homes?

When designing luxury homes for our clients, there are a few aspects that our designers treasure during the process. The VictorEric designers love the ability to provide beautiful spaces for ultimate upscale living and to create a divine escape from the pressures of their busy working lifestyles.

Most clients request for hardwood flooring throughout, high ceilings in the living spaces, crown moulding, drop ceilings, shadow-box moulding, multiple fireplaces, luxurious soaking tubs and marble counters. But after hundreds of completed homes we know that no two clients are the same and that why we create only custom homes.

At VictorEric we can provide a truly integrated design and build process. We look at each client, their lifestyles as well as their wants and needs. We than design a solution that is best fit for their lifestyle. As your budget increases, so do the options, which you’ll find expressed in each of these quality homes we have already completed.

 Although you will be spending more when building a premium homes but there is high potential for huge rewards. The demand for bigger has shifted to demand for better. Quality is a key purchase factor along with taste and design aesthetic.

“Our clients get our full attention to detail from start to finish and can be ensured a stress free process.  Our designs will focus on lifestyle, uniqueness, artisanship, quality and future profitability.” – VictorEric

Paul Smith Designs for Home

It seems like fashion and interior design has been the hot topic of discussion around the office lately. So I thought it would be fun to do a few posts on some fashion designers that have decided to dip into the home décor industry.

Paul Smith has created one of the world’s most successful fashion brands. His multi-stripe signature can be found on each of his designs, especially his notable men’s wear. Now, Paul Smith has produced a collection of handmade tapestry wall hangings, cushions and rugs for the home.

Paul Smith’s signature stripes and swirls have become instantly recognizable works of graphic genius. The hand knotted in pure Tibetan wool rugs must surely be the ultimate expression of these iconic designs.


Paul Smith’s wall-hangings fit into today’s interiors by adding fun and colour.

What are your other favourite fashion designers that are now creating things for the home?

An Automated Desk from Jet Class

With the big office move just around the corner I found myself looking into new office furniture and décor. I came across a not only beautiful but very high tech desk from Jet Class. If there’s one thing Jet Class is known for, its luxury furniture that is designed in such a way that price is never in question.

The bold shapes are classic and sophisticated, especially apparent within their New York Collection. The desk with graffiti accents would allow for anyone to look glamorous sitting behind it. But the neat thing about his desk is that it’s AUTOMATED!

The desk slides forward for comfort. The monitor can also be tucked away when not in use. Watch this video for a full demonstration of the New York automated desk. Now the question is, how do I work this desk into the new office furniture budget?

Taking Design Cues from fashion!

Just wanted to take a quick moment and introduce myself. My name is Christina and I am brand new to the VictorEric team. Hope you follow along as I blog about my journey with the VictorEric team and my tidbits on interior design, real estate and of course our beautiful city.

Over the long weekend, I took some time to flip through some interior design magazines and books to prepare myself for my new position here at VictorEric, I started to notice some similar trends in interior design and fashion.

As I explored my new reading material I noticed that you can also use furniture and accessories in bold patterns to add drama and excitement. Adding bold patterns and color to your space can make living a bit more pleasant.
