House tour: Cozy neutral condo
Designer Jamie Deck creates simple harmony throughout this Vancouver condo, resulting in a calming home for a new family of three.
It happens a lot. After putting a big down payment on a home, there might not be much left in the budget for decorating or design. But Sarah Edmondson was lucky. When she and her husband, Anthony Ames, purchased this newly built condo last year, she had two things on her side. Number one: The condo itself, in Vancouver’s Olympic Village neighbourhood, already boasted the high-quality finishes, light-flooded spaces, coveted ocean views and big soaker tub that were on Sarah’s wish list. Number two: She found a trusted designer – Jamie Deck of Shift Interiors – who understood how to turn the 1,300-square-foot condo into a dream home on a strict budget.
To determine the aesthetic, Jamie introduced Sarah to Houzz, a popular home-improvement website, where she could peruse photos of interiors and pick out what she liked. Based on the images she chose, it became apparent that "modern was the direction she wanted to go," says Jamie. Sarah was also drawn to soothing colour schemes of grey and white, so Jamie incorporated a neutral palette with various shades of grey and textural elements that add coziness and depth.
