The motivation...
For this Forest Hill family, the decision to renovate and redesign their entire home came when their children left the 'nest'.
The kick off point for the redesign of this home was the family room.
Although their children had moved into homes of their own, they were also having their own family....all of whom would be coming back for many visits and social gatherings.
In addition to accommodating a large family, they also wanted the room to do double duty as an elegant space for casual evenings with friends.
The inspiration...
This client entrusted Heather 'carte blanche' to develop the concept and design but she took into consideration the parameters she knew were important to them...
Elements such as colour choices based on previous favourites, balancing masculine and feminine influences and bringing in fabrics and surfaces that would be forgiving and animal friendly.
She had decorated the client's winter home in the Bahamas and knew that they loved the traditional colours of that region so that became the inspiration.
The challenge...
They wanted the warmth of the fireplace but wanted to create a space for the television. They also wanted seating for 8-10 people while keeping some existing furniture.
The result...
See the transformation for yourself!
To see how your home or space can be transformed, give Heather a call to see how she can help you achieve your vision...
