20-year-old, 3,000 sq. ft. home on Lake Ontario needed a little love.
“The home felt dated. We wanted to refresh it to make it our own,”
the homeowner notes.
The living room’s silvery blues, smoky taupes, and sandy browns
offer cool comfort. “We wanted the space to be comfortable and
stylish, without feeling too conservative. I love natural textures and
wanted the room to include coastal qualities.”
Gentle architecture in wicker, draped throws, and a wire lamp add
pattern with texture. Creamed tones in marble, wood, and glass add
quiet luxe and ease. The artwork reiterates the soft graphics found in
the accent pillows and ottoman. The drapery’s soft folds complement
the furniture’s curves creating harmony. Designer Dvira Ovadia
advises “Playing with patterns can be fun. Limit yourself to a few
colours that work well together and draw patterns from these tones.”
“This sitting room is situated off the front entrance where the family
entertains. It is a space that felt formal, with a colour that enhances
but does not take away from the space,” Dvira comments. Bold lines
in the coffee table, lamps, and side tables accentuate graceful notes
of yellows in the artwork, floor rug, and pillows. Ovals in the lamps,
coffee table and in a side table balance the lines of the couch and
upholstered chairs. The side table, with its metal trim, complements
an accent pillow and throw. “I love the way the room functions, the
pops of yellow and the luxurious pillows,” the homeowner says.
In the dining room, blued brocade hugs dining room chairs
dimpled with silver studs. The greyed wood table is sleekly rustic.
The pendant chandeliers are modern interpretations of traditional
styles. “We fell in love with the table and wanted chairs that were
luxurious and comfortable,” the homeowner remarks.
