BEAUTIFUL THINGS HAVE A WAY OF FINDING US.
Velvet Haus was born from a love of beautiful spaces, timeless finds and the kind of gatherings you never want to end.
What started with collecting unique pieces that deserved a second story grew into a vision for something more—a creative event house built around intimate celebrations, thoughtful design and the belief that smaller doesn't have to mean simple.
Based in Grande Prairie, Velvet Haus specializes in event design, styling and curated rentals for intimate weddings, private celebrations and smaller corporate gatherings. My approach is intentionally different: less about following trends or filling a room with décor, and more about creating an atmosphere that feels personal, considered and unmistakably yours.
My collections were built one find at a time—a mix of statement pieces, vintage treasures and unexpected details chosen for their character and ability to transform a space. From the first concept to the final candle placement, every detail has a reason for being there.
Because I believe the best gatherings aren't necessarily the biggest.
They're the ones filled with the right people, thoughtful details and moments worth remembering.
Curated spaces. Unforgettable moments.
Welcome to Velvet Haus.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Kalila—the founder, creative eye and treasure hunter behind Velvet Haus.
I’ve always been drawn to the details that make a space feel special: the perfect vintage find, an unexpected statement piece, candlelight hitting a table just right, or the little details that somehow pull everything together.
Velvet Haus grew from that love of creating, collecting and seeing the potential in things others might overlook. What started as an idea has slowly become a collection of beautiful finds and an opportunity to create the kind of intimate, thoughtfully designed celebrations I’ve always been drawn to.
My style is a little moody, a little unexpected and rooted in the belief that beautiful events don't need to be enormous or overdone to make an impact. I love mixing old with new, timeless with modern, and polished details with pieces that have a little history and character.
For me, Velvet Haus is about more than making a space look beautiful. It's about creating a feeling—and giving people a place to gather, celebrate and make memories that stay with them long after the candles go out.
Here’s to collecting beautiful things, creating unforgettable moments and building the Haus—one find at a time.
