In 1996, Karen Visser started a small home-based interior decorating business. Ten years later she opened in Crestwood Mall and renamed the business Bella Casa Design Centre. Karen's love for fine things prompted her to expand the business to include the finest bed linens and the most amazing kitchen accessories.
When Karen has a minute to spare you will always find her spending time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren Jack and Emmy. Her love for trying out new things has lead her to discover many new products, which she has brought into the store in order to better serve her clients. No matter how many years in the business or how many clients Karen has helped, she always gets excited to help them put their homes together.
Every client deserves to have a beautiful space to call home. Elysia has a Bachelor's Degree majoring in Textile Sciences, as well as a Certificate with Distinction in Residential Interiors, both from the University of Alberta. Even at a young age she always had a passion for design, she loved creating fun colourful spaces and was always dreaming of the next project she could craft or the next room she could decorate.

I love love love this store!! This is my go to spot for my designer kitchen wares (Emile Henry and Le Creuset are my favourites). As the other reviews and dollar signs attribute, it's not a cheap store, but you're getting the quality you pay for, plus you're supporting local. I also have a few toss cushions from here and a Revelle duvet set that I haven't seen anywhere else. Defiantly some unique things to Bella Casa. I've also checked out their design centre a couple of times and am (finally) planning on redoing my living room and window coverings!! It's a must go

This place has all my home decorating dreams piled into one store. They have beautiful sheets, bedspreads, and home decor items. Many of their sheets are imported from Italy, so expect a higher price, but also an unbelievably comfortable bed! They have just branched out into kitchen items as well and have some very high end appliances that I could see fitting perfectly on my counter top. I just have to convince the husband that we NEED beautiful (and expensive) appliances! My work might be cut out for me, but in the mean time I will be checking back often to see what is in stock and maybe

If you love Call the Kettle Black and Le Gnome, you will love Bella Casa. This is the place to shop if you are in the process of beautifying your home. As with all trendy little shops that sell quality items, be prepared to see high prices here. For example, Signoria bed sheets imported from Italy sell for $200 for Queen size. How I wouldn't mind sleeping on these sheets! And how I wouldn't mind owning $700 espresso machine. And overall, how I wouldn't mind owning half the items from Bella Casa!
There are luxurious cushions and cashmere bed throws, towels and window treatments.

If you want a beautiful house and home, shop at Bella Casa, but it'll cost you! There's no coincidence this store is located in a plaza of other higher-end shops like Yu, Lyndale Accents, Delux Burger Bar and My Philosophy. Still, this is a beautiful shop with lovely things that please the eye. When I came into this shop they were handing out free hot cider and there was a sweet and cheese table set up at the back for visitors. Everything was 10% off for their "open house." Some of the things that jumped out at me were the dainty jewelry holder busts for $30-$40 - not bad. They
