The condo’s bedroom is situated at the end of a corridor on the right hand side of the living room. When designing for a condo Lenore advises “Make sure the rooms are integrated. This keeps the condo feeling larger preventing rooms feeling ‘choppy’ and visually cluttered.” Transitions are important in this condo’s design. The living room’s stools can be used as dining room seating. Four bergère chairs have been upholstered in fabrics that complement all of the condo’s rooms. This extends their beautiful utility so they can be used in all of the rooms. Custom made pillows, a throw, and artwork bring gentle brush strokes of colour to the bedroom’s restful neutrals. Providing storage for the room are two good quality side tables in dark wood. With its open, rounded shelves the table closest to the door offers the room an easy flow. The longest wall is angled. “We worked with the angle. We lined furniture up against it,” Lenore notes. Drapery gives the room luxurious privacy. When the client saw her condo after the renovation “she couldn’t believe that it was her space.” With its splashes of light, glass, and delicacy the condo shimmers like a jewel box. “People are over the moon when they see it,” the condo owner notes.
