The Bigger Picture is committed to fusing the best of the old with the best of the new. Producing beautiful products for homes and interiors - well conceived and carefully crafted with a love for imagery and detail. This is a tradition held in high regard.

Fusing this tradition with all that state-of-the art design and production technologies can provide is a powerful combination with lots to offer their customers. Exciting new printing technologies make for never before possible textile designs - innovative and small editions ensure exclusive products; flexibility allows them to personalize their products to anybody’s needs and wishes.

The Bigger Picture can now produce complete collections without the traditional demands of large production manufacturing. Great for their creativity. Great for product diversity!






We believe that our homes and neighborhoods should be healthy, vibrant places that uplift the spirit and gracefully fit our needs. We call for an end to poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing, unfair lending practices and environmental neglect in the housing industry. We acknowledge our collective responsibility to create CLOSE, SIMPLE, LIGHT places to live that leave a positive legacy for future generations.

provides design focused information that homeowners can use to improve the quality of how and where they live. It takes its name from the slow food movement which arose as a reaction to the processed food industry. The sprawl of cookie cutter housing that surrounds us is like fast food - standardized, homogenous, and wasteful. It contributes to a too fast life that is bad for us, our cities, and the environment. In the same way that slow food raises awareness of the food we eat and how these choices affect our lives, Slow Home empowers you to take more control of your home and improve the quality of how you live while reducing your environmental impact and futureproofing the long term investment value of your home.
