Ikea’s ubiquitous offerings are a favourite for both budget-savvy designers and homeowners. Some of these pieces have even earned cult status for their great look and they can often be spotted in high-low designs, working hard to bring the project in on a budget! Incorporating these easily obtained and affordable options into our designs helps our clients save here and splurge elsewhere, while simultaneously allowing us to flex our creative muscles to come up unique solutions. (We live for a great Ikea hack!) Check out this round-up of a few of our projects where Ikea has been there for us ..read more

Over the course of a project, we really get to know the likes and dislikes of our clients. We learn the colours they love, the textures they hate, and the patterns that remind them of their grandma! By the time we reach the accessories stage of the project, there aren’t too many details left to reveal, so the accessory-related Q&A is fairly cursory. There is, however, one polarizing subject that demands no assumptions; a question we pose and then hold our breath awaiting the answer…“How do you feel about having plants in your home?” The prospect of caring for a living home décor accessory ..read more

Today, we’re sharing a little more love for one of our very favourite projects to date, #IHRosedaleResidence, in collaboration with Maillot Homes. Not only does this home reflect our client’s lifestyle and personal aesthetic in every way, but it is also 100% vegan! Let’s dive into some of the details that went into this cruelty-free home: Wallcoverings. While the construction portion of the home was vegan simply by the nature of the building materials used, we had to approach the finishes and furnishings with more caution to ensure no animal by-products were used in any way. This included all ..read more

With social media and reality TV maintaining a solid grasp on modern day pop culture, we find ourselves with a front row seat to the lifestyles of the rich and famous. This direct access can provide us with major design inspiration, important clues to upcoming design trends, and some serious house envy. As designers, we love when celebrities open their homes to photographers. We can usually identify the high-end fixtures, furnishings, and fabrics used by their designers and, if nothing else, these glamourous exposés provide us with solid evidence that there ARE people who buy those 30k dining ..read more

Toile is one of those patterns that has been around forever. This omnipresent organic pattern routinely pops up in the fabric and wallpaper collections that are introduced each season, usually with a new twist to keep it fresh and interesting. While this classic has always caught our eye, it wasn’t until we found this gorgeous Thibaut wallpaper for the powder room of our #IHGraniteRidgeReno project that we decided to give this enduring pattern a closer look! The history Toile de Jouy, which literally means "cloth from Jouy-en-Josas,“ became popularized after textile entrepreneur Christophe-P ..read more
