A home refresh designed to make this new space truly reflect my clients and what they love.
The brief
This home felt incomplete without the right furniture, texture, and layout. We sourced new pieces to complement existing antiques and lighting, creating a balanced mix of old and new. Layered rugs added depth and helped define the colour story, while brick wallpaper introduced a subtle rustic element to help separate the open living areas.
We also incorporated accent walls to tie the colour scheme together throughout the home, adding warmth and depth to each space. Lighting was updated for better function, existing lamp bases were repurposed with custom shades in beautiful fabrics, and custom drapery was added to soften the interiors. Select furniture pieces were refinished to harmonize with the overall palette, and the final styling—paired with thoughtfully placed artwork—brought the entire home together in a cohesive, livable way.
