See how a dark living room was transformed into a light and bright gathering place.

After experiencing several significant losses over the years, the homeowner was seeking a fresh start – one that could reflect a new chapter in her life. Her goal was to create a space that was not only cozy and comforting, but also filled with light and character.

Favourite Features

• The sleek profile and lighter colour of the leather sofa is a fresh, modern take on the homeowner’s much- loved “before” version.
• The arched bookshelves, rustic beam on the mantel, and new stone on the fireplace seamlessly transitioned the space into the new century.
• To add texture and warmth, the fireplace wall was clad in shiplap. Various light sources were also layered throughout, ensuring the home is beautifully lit for everyday living, functional tasks and ambient lighting.
• Plenty of shelving and dedicated display areas allow family photos and keepsakes to take pride of place without adding visual clutter.
