Drawing inspiration from  a client’s cherished art collection,  our design for the interior lends a  fresh, contemporary feel to a substantial Georgian -style home in the Forest Hill neighbourhood of Toronto.

An serene color palette of  watery aquas, teal, and warm whites envelop the living room, and provide a perfect backdrop for the collection of contemporary Canadian art.   Sleek, streamlined furniture pieces that exude modern simplicity anchor the space while offering relaxation. Custom draperies in the most luminous fabric softly frame the natural light, while sumptuous materials enhance the textural refinement of the room. Soft cut velvets, plush upholstery and luxurious wool rugs subtly counterbalance the use of stone accents and iron throughout.

In the dining room,  we seamlessly integrated our client’s existing furniture with new additions, juxtaposing the warmth of heirloom wood pieces with sleek painted dining chairs, and linen covered case pieces to create a harmonious blend of old and new. Here, a palette of creamy neutrals and earthy taupes sets a soothing tone, while brass accents add touches of warmth and sophistication. Subtle grasscloth-covered walls, embroidered custom draperies, flocked velvet and leather dining chairs add texture.  Against this serene backdrop, contemporary art pieces inject a vibrant energy into the space and provide an organic liveliness that balances the strong geometries found elsewhere in the room.
