About Us

Patti_new

Patti Houston, Owner and Founder

Owner and founder of Flüff Design and Decor. Its origin was out of necessity. Patti’s husband is a developer and she has always been involved in the design aspect of his projects. When it came time to create a display suite the preparation time was endless. After much research into furniture and prop rentals she realized there was no such thing in Vancouver. And that was the beginning. Some years ago in a small warehouse in the False Creek area Flüff was born. The design community embraced it with open arms and now Patti functions out of a 10,000 square foot warehouse/showroom with a team of qualified designers and warehouse staff. Her background in Visual Merchandising, display and interior design has more than qualified her for the task of sourcing and supplying all the necessary inventory to create stunning concepts. When she's not in Flüff world, Patti can be found biking and hiking in the woods. Her grandchildren are her passion.
