The Cross Décor & Design is a 5000 square foot retail space in the heart of Yaletown consistently featured in home décor magazines such as Canadian House and Home and Style at Home as well as popular design blogs like Design Sponge, Poppytalk, and Vitamin Daily.  The homes of both owners Stephanie Vogler and Darci Ilich have even been featured in Canadian House and Home.

On any given day you will find Vancouver’s top interior designers shopping for clients, design students looking for inspiration, tourists and locals looking for the perfect gift or just those people looking to find a brief escape from the daily hustle and bustle of life within the thoughtfully styled walls of  the store.

The Cross offers custom furniture, drapery and bedding along with hundreds of beautiful accessories for the home. The store also provides a full design service for those who wish to emulate The Cross’ style in their own homes. For more, take a look at the design work of lead interior designer Peter Wilds in this month’s Style at Home magazine who was chosen as one of five Canadian designers chosen to be named their “Stylemaker of the Year.”

The Cross sources products from all over the world but also recognizes how important it is to patronize local artists and vendors. From bedding to bath, sofas to scented candles & ribbons to wrap – The Cross has all of the elements required for a lifetime of style and beauty.
