We were approached by a young couple who bought a lovely Victorian house in the heart of Dartmouth Park in North London. The house had the great proportions that later Victorian London houses tend to have, but it suffered from one of those late-1990s renovations that really dampened the feeling of the building. The clients encouraged us to use colour and pattern and asked us to maintain an element of traditional without making the house feel like an old-fashioned cottage. I immediately thought of wallpaper and proper 4-poster beds, but pulled the house back into the 21st century by mixing in plenty of more contemporary furnishings, colours and patterns. I hope the result is a house that feels vibrant and unexpected, while at the same time strongly connected to its Victorian roots.
I am completely smitten with this home. The perfect blend of traditional and contemporary. The perfect selection of earthy, warm colours, and the perfect amount of pattern and texture. Designed by Brandon Schubert. Photos: James McDonald

Located in Montreal’s Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district, this early 20th-century house was refurbished so that its owners could move in with their growing family. We rethought the space, retaining certain elements with which we were able to play. This house presents a convivial open space where the balance between light tones and dark accents brings an unpretentious elegance.
I love how timeless this project by Blanc Marine Intérieurs is. And so very warm. Much of it is light and the cream tones are gorgeous. Amen to having no jarring white ceilings. Photos: Annie Fafard.

WOW this home is a beauty!!! A new build with traditional details that make it appear over a century old, and the interior gives Tuscan farmhouse vibes. Classic in every sense of the world, and once this home has been there a century it will be just as warm and inviting.

Designer Nadia Watts worked with her client’s expansive (and quite disparate) art collection and made it all work together in their Denver home. Each one taking pride of place among each room and creating such a dynamic yet cohesive vision. I love how eclectic each space is and how it all flows so wonderfully. Photos: Emily Minton-Redfield.
