“It’s SO small,” says Melissa of her bedroom.
“I opted to place the bed on the wall in
full view from the living room, so it creates
a nice focal point.” The master bedroom’s
‘landscape’ is characterized by a series of
eye-pleasing contours. As an airy arch,
the graceful headboard is functional
while allowing for the wall’s expanse to
be highlighted—thus adding width to the
room. A contoured tower of books increases
the perception of the room’s height while
engaging with the throw pillows’ colours. “By
using open chairs as side tables it feels more
open and casual and they are great for extra
seating in a pinch!,” Melissa states.
Melissa used textiles strategically in her
son’s bedroom. “By putting the focus on the
bed with lots of pattern and textures it adds
interest but keeps the space still feeling tidy
and open.” The storage units’ colour matches
the floor. She observes that this “lets them
blend and appear more tidy.”
“I wanted the condo to be a comfortable
home for my son and I, with space to
entertain friends and have large dinner
parties.”
