Downtown Victoria, BC is now more stylish than ever with the official amalgamation of the newly branded “Design District.”

 Offering a unique collection of furniture, fabrics, hand-knotted rugs, lighting, eclectic artwork and an abundance of home decor accessory shops, the Design District features over 25 businesses related to design and concentrated in one neighbourhood.

Bordered by the Inner Harbour, Market Square, Herald Street and Canada’s oldest Chinatown, the area features attractive streets and hidden alleyways. Signs identifying the district will be going up under the regular street signs.

The Design District joins other city-centre neighbourhoods, such as LoJo, Broad Street and Government Street, which have also recently banded together to market their unique character. The Design District occupies a historic part of the west side of Victoria’s downtown where industry warehouses were once common.

Early décor stores anchored the area and now condominium developers and other design businesses are discovering the area’s appeal.

Visitors and vacation home owners will find everything required to decorate their homes while enjoying the lively atmosphere provided by the many cafés and restaurants.
