We had a lot of fun styling this beautiful home for this CTV Morning Live segment that we filmed with Terri Apostle! We chose to mix natural elements – greenery, berries, pinecones – with some sparkling metallics, warm plaids and a few splashes of red! This mixture is actually very simple and relaxed, but also refined and elegant – a combination of traditional themes and some modern glitz!

And, of course, the opportunity to bring “cozyness” (invented word!) into our homes for those wonderful feelings of warmth, welcome and wellbeing!

The warm weather encourages us to make time to kick back and relax, to have friends over for some good food and cold beverages, and to make the most of the sunny days and long evenings by getting outside as much as possible! In the heart of the city or out in the country, your porch, patio, deck, balcony or rooftop can become an extension of your living space; an inviting place to relax and retreat from the world and a beautiful oasis for entertaining family and friends. Take a look at our mood boards below for some ideas on creating your ideal space and let us know if we can help!
This article from Sherwin Williams STIR magazine highlights how to create a modern, yet cozy, interior with matte black paint.

A change of season is a great time to give your space a fresh new look and switching things up can be done at any level – from picking out new paint colours, carpets and couches to adding beautiful new drapery, sumptuous toss cushions, or a special piece of artwork. With any colour palette you can go all in or add just a touch – and we will be happy to help find what works for you!
