Hello, I'm Elspeth.
My love affair with fabric traces back to keeping silkworms as a childhood hobby in my native South Africa. After obtaining my University degree, I began teaching Home Economics at the high school level, yet I remained immersed in textile design wherever possible.
When I relocated to Canada in the 90's, my expanded horizons brought new ventures in interior decorating and sewing. For 15 years in Calgary, I enjoyed helping customers and interior designers bring their drapery and soft furnishing ideas to life.
For me, design is sumptuous woven textiles, accessories, and textural elements of fibre. My goal is to tame the beauty of the outdoors and bring it to life in your home.
From the Heart of South Africa...
At Elspeth Interiors, the archived design philosophy was to “bring the outside in.” By combining luxurious fabrics, high quality furniture, and a flair for design, Elspeth brought the beauty and splendour of nature into the home.
