Toronto designer Ashley Montgomery continues to sweep me off my feet with her casual, earthy, eclectic, cozy projects and this new one, Mountain Home in Collingwood, Ontario is an absolute beauty. That kitchen is giving me all the feels and going into my inspiration folder. Photos: Lauren Miller.

I love the refined elegance of Spanish interiors. Beatriz Aparicio masterfully blends styles with harmony, balancing current trends and timeless elegance. She specializes in combining neutral tones with vibrant accents, skillfully evoking emotions through colour … or the lack thereof. Collaborating with skilled artisans and sourcing treasures from galleries and antique shops, she creates unique, personalized spaces that reflect her clients’ personalities.

Set on five acres of scenic coastal land, Harvest House designed by ELC Architecture and Interior offers panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding bushland. Its sustainable design reflects a deep commitment to environmental stewardship. It incorporates recycled bricks from the demolished original house and reclaimed timbers from across Australia used for posts and beams, their natural beauty enhanced by exposed finishes.

The house features 90,000-liter rainwater storage in underground tanks and solar panels with battery storage, ensuring eco-friendly utilities. Its interior reflects the owners’ multicultural heritage and global travels, with curated finishes like handcrafted tiles and vibrant textiles.

The design centres around a turreted third-level viewing room, offering dual ocean vistas. The second-floor living and kitchen spaces provide unobstructed treetop views, while the ground floor extends into guest, communal, and private zones. Four sheltered courtyards and a wraparound deck with greenery-filled planters integrate the home seamlessly into its natural environment, balancing functionality and elegance.
