Elevating your home's décor with one-of-a-kind splendour.

The perfect piece of décor can transition a room from bland to unique and make it a focal point of your home. The artisans of the Windsor-Essex region are known by their flair for distinctive, thoughtful, and gorgeous artwork that can augment and improve your living space. Whether it be a spectacular painting, painstakingly detailed furniture, or eye-catching textiles, the right choice of décor for your home will tell a story to all those who step inside rooted from the hearts and hands of the local makers who crafted them. 

Here are three local companies that we know you should consider when upgrading your décor: 

ENJOY DENIAL

A world-renowned artist, Windsor’s own Daniel Bombardier, aka ENJOY DENIAL, is a master painter and stencil artist, known for his colourful and distinctive murals and portraits. 

“Home is where the art is,” quips Bombardier. “Windsor and Detroit are a big inspiration in my work, so these works are an homage to the area.” Bombardier has crafted a series of remarkable pieces of home décor that could fit beautifully in your living room, dining room, or library. “Most of my artwork is done using spray paint and stencilling onto wood-framed canvases,” he explains. “I usually draw the images first on my iPad from photos that I take.” 

With Bombardier’s experience and success as a painter, his pieces are not only a great exhibition of local culture and history to discuss and admire, but also serve as great collector’s pieces. 

“I love seeing my collectors chose complementary colours when incorporating my art into their spaces,” states Bombardier. “I paint a lot of grand-scale artworks which can be really great statement pieces in a dedicated space in the home or office. The scale and bold colours I use can definitely help define a unique space. I also love to paint murals on interior walls, as well, which is my favourite way to incorporate my art into spaces.”

Todd Lindsay Designs

Todd Lindsay is a master woodworker, known for the creation of high-quality items such as kitchen and entry tables. His careful hands and keen eye for detail have created some of the finest furniture this region has to offer. His handcrafted furniture uses only the finest materials to create divine items that will stand the test of time. 

 “I use my style as an artist to design each piece of furniture I create, and my extensive background as a woodworker to build and finish the process,” explains Lindsay. “A lot of thought and time goes into creating each unique piece. I go all over the place to source the perfect material. It takes a tremendous amount of time, but I feel that it’s well worth the final product to use premium wood.” 

With over 30 years experience, Lindsay has handcrafted custom pieces for the likes of famed actress, talk show host, and movie star Oprah Winfrey and National Hockey League legend Doug Gilmour. His work can be found in homes across Canada, the United States, and Europe. 
 
“My main pieces are dining tables, and the way a lot of homes are designed today, those tables are centrepieces,” says Lindsay. “My focus is on creating that perfect custom piece that families can use for generations to come.” 

Lindsay’s fine tables will breathe new life into any dining room, accentuating your home in a way that is unparalleled.

Dekko Concrete

Based in Kingsville, Dekko Concrete’s splendid idea to make a lightweight concrete product for homes originated with founder Scott Springer—a veteran of the fireplace industry. 

Frequently helping customers design and finish fireplace surrounds, he developed a passion for modern design and innovation. Traditional concrete is heavy and cumbersome to deal with, so Springer developed a sleek and practical lightweight solution. 

“The goal was to create a material that could seamlessly integrate into modern interior designs, especially around fireplaces,” explains Dekko Concrete sales executive Jessica Springer. “This initial success led to further innovation, resulting in our expanded product lines—lightweight fire pits and wall cladding solutions—that maintain the same focus on design and usability. Today, our lightweight concrete is an integral part of cutting-edge architectural projects worldwide.” 

Easy to install, their products include exquisite fire pits, interior and exterior cladding, inset designs, and items for commercial applications—all made from a special blend of lightweight concrete, handmade by skilled artisans. 

“Concrete is incredibly versatile, making it a fantastic material for homeowners looking to add a unique, modern touch to their space,” explains Springer. “One of the greatest benefits of our products is their ability to blend effortlessly with other materials like wood, steel, or glass, giving homeowners endless possibilities when it comes to design. For instance, you can pair our lightweight concrete cladding with rich wood accents for a warm, natural contrast, or combine it with sleek metal elements for a more industrial, contemporary look. Alternatively, our concrete can also stand alone as a striking feature wall, adding texture and depth to any room. 

“We make it easy for homeowners to customize their spaces. Our cladding comes in standard sizes that can be cut onsite to fit your specific dimensions. For those looking for something more tailored, we offer custom sizing to match your exact design vision. Whether you’re transforming a fireplace, creating an accent wall, or adding a statement piece outdoors, our lightweight concrete products provide an elegant and durable solution that enhances any home’s architecture.”
