Step inside INspiration Furniture, and you will discover a design destination unlike any other in Vancouver and Coquitlam. Since first opening its doors in August 2002, this visionary brand has redefined how British Columbians experience contemporary and modern furnishings.

The flagship showroom occupies an impressive 40,000 square feet within the New Look Building, a historic landmark known as Sigurdson’s Mill in False Creek. Original 100-year-old timber beams, cascading natural light, and verdant greenery create a compelling backdrop for a curated collection of globally renowned brands. Here, the aesthetic is unmistakably sophisticated: Natuzzi Italia’s Italian-crafted elegance, the vibrant originality of Leolux from Holland, the sculptural drama of Cattelan Italia, and the peerless comfort of Stressless and Gamma seating—all presented within thoughtfully composed vignettes that invite exploration and inspiration.



INspiration Furniture’s second location on Coquitlam’s United Boulevard expands this design experience to a wider audience, showcasing the same commitment to quality, selection, and service. Both showrooms are unified by a single purpose: to help clients realize the full potential of their living spaces through accessible, elevated design.

From the outset, INspiration Furniture has embraced a holistic approach to interiors. Their design process is methodical yet flexible, recognizing that each client’s project is as unique as the space itself. It begins with a complimentary initial consultation—either in person or virtually—where seasoned designers learn about individual style preferences, lifestyle needs, and project goals. Next comes space planning, an exercise in balance and flow that ensures every square foot is optimized for both function and beauty. Finally, designers curate a tailored presentation of furnishings, textiles, and finishes that embody the client’s vision, whether the aim is a subtle refresh or a complete transformation.



Leading this team is Lily Tang, the showroom’s Lead Interior Designer and Natuzzi Italia Brand Ambassador. With dual design degrees and over a decade of experience spanning residential, commercial, and custom procurement projects, Tang is deeply attuned to the nuances that define exceptional interiors. Her design philosophy celebrates contrast and narrative—she believes spaces must be harmonious yet layered with personality, reflecting those who inhabit them. “Good design realizes the potential of any space,” Tang affirms. “Each element—colour, material, proportion—works together to create something resolved
and innovative.”

Supporting this commitment to excellence is INspiration Furniture’s 60,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution centre. This robust infrastructure ensures that most items are readily available for prompt delivery and professional installation. For clients, it means the journey from showroom to home is as seamless as the design itself.



Today, INspiration Furniture continues to offer an inspiring multi-brand blend of European sophistication and West Coast sensibility. Whether you are searching for a statement piece, refining a single room, or envisioning a cohesive home story, INspiration’s showrooms provide a canvas rich in possibilities.
