Making Memories

Rose Uniacke plays with scale in a country kitchen.

Our October issue is one of my favourites of the year because we’re back inside, decorating and showcasing some of the best details in the best rooms, by our best designers. For me, space and architecture and landscaping are all very nice, but it’s the quality of light, plus the up-close decorating details of a particular room that interest me most. If you feel the same, then you probably have a file of torn pages, shots on your phone and memories of those aha moments when you stepped into a room that made you swoon. Some of my favourites are forever etched in my mind. The room on our cover that’s so filled with great details is a fine example. The designer behind it, London-based Rose Uniacke, is one of those rare talents who can create drama with the softest, most subtle palette and most restrained detailing. Her new book is featured on page 30, where the image of a kitchen she designed carries that same singular drama. Her use of simple pendants in a giant scale over a petite breakfast table is so successful. Toronto designer Katherine Newman’s work is all about fine detailing. The vignette (page 72) in the fabulous house she designed is a perfect moment of a bronze sculpture, wall art, lighting and hot pink blooms. I maintain that it’s the stylist who has the last word. Some designers are stylists, but many of the best stylists aren’t interior designers. They’re artists who just know how to make a room camera-worthy. Nicola Marc is a LET’S CONNECT wonderful stylist and her own Montreal @lyndareevesdesign house (page 84) is a testament to that. @houseandhome Best of all, Nicola shares her sources and how she makes this visual magic 18 H&H OCTOBER 2021

on a budget, combining big-box basics (which she converts with paint and ingenuity) with treasured collections. Remember last month’s beautiful cover story on Emma Reddington’s Toronto house? You’ll be happy to hear that Emma and her family drove to North Vancouver, B.C., and are getting settled in their new house. Just in time, too. Our former EIC is now our Style Director/West Coast Editor and will be bringing her own stylist’s eye to our pages, every issue. Welcome back, Emma! Now that we’re back photographing homes, visiting with designers and actually able to capture great chefs and bakers in their home kitchens, we can promise you that the best of H&H is yet to come. In this month of giving thanks, we have much to be grateful for. Thank you to our partners for all those months of sticking with us, advertising even though your stores had to remain closed and lending the vital support that kept us humming. Thank you to our readers — what would we do without your letters, your subscriptions, and your support at newsstands and on shophouseandhome.com and our digital channels? If you’re at home cooking this Thanksgiving, check out these new recipes from our two featured chefs, Lynn and Lora (page 116). I’ve already made an entire Indian dinner from their latest cookbook, including the homemade naan. It was amazing. Now on to their holiday menu! Happy Thanksgiving to you from all of us here at H&H.

DESIGNER TARA FINLAY BRINGS PARISIAN STYLE TO A LIVING ROOM RENO 20 H&H OCTOBER 2021

I want to share how much I enjoy your letters page (“RSVP”). No other magazine has a readers’ page anymore. It’s nice to read about the recipes and articles that inspire other readers to create and renovate their own homes, myself included. I’m inspired by all of your issues and have especially enjoyed Lynda’s “The Lakehouse” columns; it’s such a beautiful four-season home. I look forward to each issue in the mail every month. Thanks for all the inspiration; keep it coming! — DONNA CARTER, Toronto While I appreciate flipping through your issues to find something practical and relatable, sometimes, what I really want is wow factor! The architecture feature (“Island Time”) from the JulyAugust issue brought just that. Floorto-ceiling windows and the stunning water views from Bowen Island, B.C., blew me away. Perhaps we’ll see more coastal representation in the future? — MELISSA DERKSEN, Golden, B.C. I loved the bunkie love article (“Cabin Fever,” July-August). When my husband and I bought our home seven years ago, the original owner had built a bunkie to use as a sort of man cave. The pandemic gave me the incentive to pretty it up and turn it into what I now call my “She Shed.” My dream was always to make it into a space that I could enjoy, either inside reading a book on a rainy day or having cocktails around the nearby firepit at night. I now have an electric fireplace that I use for ambience and heat on cold winter days. I’m so pleased with the outcome and proud of my little piece of heaven. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the reno, but it was all worth it! — LINDA O’BRIEN, Port Hope, Ont. I’ve noticed that people who previously, pre-pandemic, did not put much thought or effort into beautifying their property, are now proudly embracing

their new gardens. I think it would be a great idea to feature photos and stories of ordinary folks and their pride in what was accomplished during lockdown. Since most were home for 18 months, this time was used to get to know nature and enjoy their little piece of earth. Even children got involved! This would be an interesting story. — SANDY DEEKS, Burlington, Ont. I’m a big fan of “The Healthy Home” column in your magazine. The cottage issue (July-August), especially, included some great picks. And the bunkies! I’m in love. Happy to see your sustainable content growing. — TIFFANY HOLMES, Toronto Throughout the years I’ve been reading House & Home, I’ve developed a traveller’s eye for Canadian cities such as Halifax, Montreal and Toronto. Based on the pages of your magazine, these cities seem to have compelling architecture, restaurants and shops. Thank you for being a guide of sorts in my newfound appreciation for domestic travel. — JONATHAN BENNET, Moose Jaw, Sask. I truly enjoy this magazine, but as much as Muskoka and the surrounding areas are lovely, diversity needs to be a focus as well. Why not profile lesser known areas of cottage country in New Brunswick or Nova Scotia? The shores of these provinces are full of small villages and ocean vistas worth spotlighting. — JUDITH COUSINS, Carleton Place, Ont.

As principal designer of her namesake interior design firm, Kelli Richards has been helping clients turn their houses into homes for almost a decade. That mission is echoed in the Montreal showroom opened by Kelli and her husband, Robby Demlakian. The 3,000-squarefoot retail space, which she designed with Kelli director Thierry BlouinBrown, features custom shelving, an archway draped in black velvet and pillars that accentuate the high ceiling, all of which epitomize Kelli’s stripped-back yet luxe approach to design. “I wanted the showroom to marry my two loves: minimalist Scandinavian style and Italian opulence,” she says. A new addition to this part of The Main, a prominent furniture district, Kelli stands out for showcasing top European designs, many of which have never been seen in Montreal. Shoppers will also find small accessories, lamps and books on display, along with standout furniture such as the Blade sofa by 365 North for Wendelbo. “A love for beauty and romance really shines throughout Montreal, especially in the historical architecture found practically everywhere here,” says Kelli. “Our boutique aims to complete the city’s furniture offerings with that sense of romance in mind.”

ON THE COVER

INSPIRATION

In 2006, designer Rose Uniacke began the restoration of her 19th-century home in London. This was not your typical renovation: the once-grand house had been bombed during the Second World War, then used as an exhibition space before standing empty, waiting to be rescued. Layers of thick, lumpy white paint covered most of the walls — that old trick — but, underneath, enough of the original details were miraculously intact. In the limited-edition book Rose Uniacke at Home, out in September, Rose shares the countless design decisions that simplified and revived her historical house as a welcoming, contemporary family home. The results of her choices, including how she approached the furniture and where she decided to put her childhood piano, unfold in 40 lush gatefolds. The book itself is made with materials featured in the home; wrapped in pure new wool and housed in a cotton duck slipcase, the 2,500 copies are sure to become collector’s items. Rizzoli, 2021. $265. HOME TECH

ART BEATS Finding ways to blend tech gadgets into decorating schemes gracefully is a modern-day challenge we’ve all faced. The struggle is real! Happily, Symfonisk, Ikea’s latest Wi-Fi speaker, fits seamlessly into rooms by passing for a piece of art. Designed in collaboration with Sonos, the slim speaker is offered in three panel designs, including this abstract pattern (right) by artist Jennifer Idrizi that interprets the flow of sound. A magnetic hook allows Symfonisk to hang vertically or horizontally, with a single cord visible. Engineered to deliver rich sound, it’s also compatible with the full Sonos range. 30 H&H OCTOBER 2021

HOT TAKE

MOOD YOU LIKE TO CREATE IN A HOUSE: Calm, inspired spaces that reflect the people who live there. DESIGN MOTTO: I’ve adopted the common improv technique of always responding with, “Yes and….” KEY INFLUENCE ON DESIGN TRENDS: Saving the world’s precious resources. I’m inspired to learn more about how to source materials that are responsible. INTO: Dry-stacked stone masonry walls. OVER: Seeing arches everywhere. While they’re pretty and pleasing to the eye, it seems like we’ve been inundated with them. ITEM IN YOUR HOME THAT MOST REFLECTS WHO YOU ARE: My Masayuki Matsukaze for Kartell folding chairs from 1979. There’s something about the unexpected safety yellow frames combined with the most basic “tan overcoat” colour of the seat fabric that resonates with me. CHOOSE ANY ROOM IN THE WORLD TO REDO: The Department of Motor Vehicles. We all spend way too much time in these dull rooms! Why not make them inspiring? IF YOU COULD ONLY BUY ONE MORE THING FOR YOUR HOME: The perfect soft and delicious throw. I imagine it to be thick, cashmere and cream-coloured. Somehow, I’ve never come across one that’s just right. HOW OFTEN YOU CHANGE UP YOUR OWN HOME: I just replaced the kitchen and some furniture at our house in Brooklyn, but it had been 10 years since the original renovation. 32 H&H OCTOBER 2021

Circular Logic In his Vancouver studio, furniture maker Jeff Martin elevates production methods to high art, repurposing the material remnants, moulds and casts used for his custom furniture to create new pieces like his vibrant glassware collection, Excavated Vessels. “We recycle as much cast-off material as possible in order to extract the most use and beauty from it,” says Jeff. Additionally, his wood furniture is made with responsibly harvested lumber, with 300 trees planted for each piece sold. Availability and pricing upon request. Jeff Martin Joinery.

MUST READS Practical advice and rustic retreats to inspire your fall decorating. By WENDY JACOB

KELLY HOPPEN’S ESSENTIAL STYLE SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY HOME Frances Lincoln, 2021, $23. British designer Kelly Hoppen is the high priestess of the tonal look, conjuring rooms in sophisticated neutrals for clients like David and Victoria Beckham. Kelly compares designing to solving a Rubik’s Cube, twisting textures, layered tones and sculptural furniture into the perfect mix. Over her 40-plus-year career, she’s cracked the formula with her signature “East meets West” style, which pairs luxury finishes with minimalism. Kelly shares her proven techniques in her latest book, and we asked her for some quick tips. H&H: Taupe is one of your signature colours; how do you keep it fresh? KH: I’m not frightened of colour and often use it in accents such as art and accessories, but neutrals are who I am. Taupe is versatile and never goes out of fashion. Create a sense of beauty and luxury in the bedroom with multiple layers of contrasting textures in that shade. H&H: Your spaces are always very clean; how do you banish the clutter? KH: My design ethos is about balance: I look at the feel of the space, variations of form and texture, and whether each piece will complement something else, until the layout, pattern, lines and form are perfect.

ABOVE: In her own London home, Kelly clad structural columns in pale wood panels to divide up the zones. RIGHT: In this bedroom, silk and velvet soften brass and lacquer.

MakeYOUR BED What to do in September for a great garden, year-round. By WENDY JACOB PLANT THIS NOW!

LAYERED BULBS Fall is the time to lay the groundwork for spring flowers. A “lasagna” bulb planting technique extends your spring blooming time, especially in a small garden. We asked Pamela Dangelmaier, co-owner of B.C. online horticultural company Botanus, to share her tips. “We recommend choosing a mix of early-, mid- and late-blooming bulbs — which will appear according to your climate zone — such as crocuses, Muscari, narcissi, hyacinths and tulips for a continuous display of flowers.” Pamela says to start by planting tulips about eight inches deep, then layering two inches of potting soil between hyacinth bulbs and narcissi. Here’s her unique lasagna planting “recipe,” which can be used for containers or garden beds.

FROST WARNING

POTS THAT CAN STAY OUT ALL YEAR. It can be tricky to find handsome pots that will survive a Canadian winter’s freeze-thaw cycle without cracking. These three frost-proof versions can flank a front entrance and be styled with branches and cuttings for seasonal displays, or even live plants like mini evergreens or boxwoods.

This moulded plastic planter has UV inhibitors to fight fading and an irrigation system that encourages root growth. Mayne Nantucket planter, $114. Rona. 44 H&H OCTOBER 2021

1. BOTTOM LAYER: ‘Daydream’ tulip As it matures, the petals morph from yellow to apricot-orange on sturdy wind-resistant stems.

There’s a saucer built inside this 24-inch-tall planter for overflow protection. It’s also fade-resistant and lightweight. DCN Harmony Elongated planter, $38. Rona.

2. MIDDLE LAYER: ‘Gipsy Queen’ hyacinth Unusual apricot-pink florets carry the scent of spring.

3. TOP LAYER: ‘Pink Charm’ narcissi Creamy petals surrounding coral ruffled cups look like petits fours but won’t tempt deer and squirrels.

COOL TOOLS

Light Work Smart for a kitchen without a lot of natural light, the GrowLED Umbrella light helps indoor plants thrive. The bulb casts a soft glow and the telescoping arm is adjustable. The light stays on for 16 hours and a timer automatically shuts it off every eight hours for optimal growing. $35. i-GrowLED and Amazon.

GET THE SCOOP Made from a composite, this indoor-outdoor planter mimics concrete without the heaviness and has a chic rippled texture. Radius planter, from $150. West Elm.

They’re not sexy, but what garden claws lack in looks, they make up for in work ethic. Essential for fall leaf cleanup, this tool has a serrated edge for getting under hedges to clear debris and thatch like a rake. Leaf scoops, $29 each. Walmart.

THE LAKEHOUSE: CHAPTER 10 FROM LEFT: An antique Turkish rug from my collection; a vintage Herki runner from Elte, circa-1930; a new hand-stitched runner from the Lemieux et Cie collection by Christiane Lemieux at Anthropologie; a vintage flatweave kilim from my collection.

The Collected Cottage Look to your treasures to cover your floors and fill your walls.

By LYNDA REEVES

hen we bought our lakehouse and I realized that almost every room would present an envelope of caramel-toned wood walls, I needed to get a formula going in my head. What would the main elements be to furnish and decorate this house? The all-wood interior was new territory for me. One thing was for certain: old kilim and low-pile rugs would be a big part of the scheme. What better backdrop for the subtle beauty of those soulful rugs than the soft, light tones of the old fir floors? I come by my love of vintage rugs honestly. My first awareness came at age 15, when I was dragged to a carpet warehouse in Beirut to sit on piles of folded rugs while my mother and aunt spent hours shopping. I remember watching men unroll rugs, one after the other, while my aunt explained why none were right. I agreed. And then, suddenly, a vibrant, geometric-patterned bold rug appeared and I told my mother that this was the one! No one else thought so, and that was the end of my rug odyssey until I became a decorator and collector of vintage rugs in the mid-1980s.

46 H&H OCTOBER 2021

Since then, old rugs have been a passion and my collection has grown, but not enough to fill the lakehouse — especially the long hallways. I needed more runners. My first go-to place is always Elte. Over the years, I’ve learned to seek out their stash of vintage runners piled in a back corner. When I’m lucky, I find some real beauties like the ones on this page. I still need a few more, so the hunt is still on. My collection is composed of vintage rugs from Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Afghanistan and Tunisia, with names like Herki, Khotan and Kars. Most are circa–1920 to 1950. They’re mostly kilims or “flatweaves,” and they’re usually classified as tribal rugs because their makers were members of nomadic tribes migrating through North Africa and the Middle East. I love them for their soulful patterns and soft, subtle colouring that natural dyes and years of gentle wear will produce. If you plan to collect and decorate with vintage rugs, choose by colour palette and find patterns that look good laid side by side. Then, move rugs around and around your house until the sight lines reveal a pleasing array, and a great view clicks into place. A new category of collecting has started, thanks to my CONTINUED ON PAGE 128

“In designer we trust” is music to any creative’s ears, so when Aly Velji heard a client say just that, he knew he had to cast it in stone or, better yet, paint it on the wall of his new office. It creates a fittingly tongue-in-cheek first impression for a designer who doesn’t take himself, or design, too seriously. The newly completed headquarters of Alykhan Velji Designs (AVD) is in Calgary’s industrial Highfield neighbourhood, surrounded by tool shops, craft breweries and plenty of Aly’s suppliers. “The location is a little unassuming, but I like that about it,” says the designer, who was born in Tanzania, and has been based in Calgary since 1988. He had been hunting for a new office for more than two years, and as soon as he saw the space — a blank canvas three and a half times larger than his last workspace and only 10 minutes from home — Aly knew his search was over. “I wanted our studio to reflect how we like to design at AVD, which is very collaboratively,” says Aly, who made sure everyone at the firm had input. It was even more important that the team of five was at home in its new digs, after working remotely over the pandemic. “I really wanted our office to have a residential feel, a place where we all felt comfortable,” he says. Soft, muted shades are soothing and a living room–like lounge is perfect for impromptu team catch-ups. H&H OCTOBER 2021 53

You don’t have to look too far to find wit and whimsy here. Painted arches hug the walls above each workstation and a geometric mural — designed by Aly as part of a wallpaper collection with Toronto’s Rollout studio — gets creative juices flowing in the meeting room. For his own workspace, Aly chose burnt orange grasscloth as a backdrop for his art collection. “I wanted to create a luxe, layered look, and the gallery wall highlights pieces from some of my favourite artists,” he says. Personal mementoes find their way into just about every inch of the openconcept headquarters. The ornate console in the foyer is a prime example: 54 H&H OCTOBER 2021

There’s even a little boutique off the entry that gives lucky clients and visitors the opportunity to bring home the Aly Velji aesthetic. “Our shop is filled with some of my travel finds and one-of-a-kind pieces from artists and makers from around Canada,” he says. Creating a cool and relaxed ambience was an important consideration for this project — and that goal has been achieved. “There’s always music playing, a scented candle burning and coffee brewing in our office,” says Aly.

KIT KEMP A CHAMPION OF CREATIVITY, THIS HOTEL MAVEN IS ON A MISSION TO MAKE YOUR ROOMS MORE ARTFUL. Photography SIMON BROWN Interview WENDY JACOB

58 H&H OCTOBER 2021

Kit’s Mythical Land wallpaper, available through Andrew Martin, enlivens a London home.

you’re a fan of statement upholstered headboards, you can thank English designer Kit Kemp, who popularized the look. The London interior designer and decorator writes books and teams up with brands including Christopher Farr Cloth, Porta Romana, Anthropologie and Wedgwood to design textiles, fragrances and homewares. Kit is co-founder and creative director of Kit Kemp Design Studio and Firmdale Hotels, which includes London’s Ham Yard Hotel, Charlotte Street Hotel, The Soho Hotel, Covent Garden Hotel, and The Crosby Street and Whitby Hotels in NYC. A lover of British art, craft and sculpture, she uses these elements to make her hotels feel unique and personal — the antithesis of anonymous, bland decorating. Her latest book, Kit Kemp Design Secrets: Adding Character and Style to an Interior to Make It Your Own, reveals her insights and encourages readers to boost their own creativity with DIY projects.

SEE SHOPPING LIST

Q&A HOUSE & HOME: How would you describe your signature style? KIT KEMP: I love natural materials, and I love a really beautiful piece of old wood with a patina. I gravitate toward old antiques, and colour is always great. I’m not so keen on plastics and artificial materials. H&H OCTOBER 2021 59

INTERVIEW The sitting room in Kit’s 1930s country home in the New Forest, Hampshire, which she’s owned for more than 20 years. “While I change the hotel schemes every few years, I’m nostalgic about my own home,” she says. “When you fall in love with a place, you arrive at a point where you don’t want to keep changing it.”

H&H: Who is your design hero? KK: Vanessa Bell of the Bloomsbury Group. She was a wonderful homemaker; their house in Charleston was so warm and inviting that when people came to visit, they never wanted to leave. H&H: What’s inspiring you now? KK: Creativity at home has tripled this year. I included a section in the book on projects such as painting frames and making shell mirrors and appliqué cushions, all things that we’ve made in our design studio. They’re not perfect by any means, but they’re actually better because of it. H&H: How has the pandemic affected your work? KK: I just keep going on. That’s the 60 H&H OCTOBER 2021

wonderful thing about design and creating things — there are many opportunities when the day has less in it. The pandemic gave people the chance to make new diversions that could become a livelihood, so they can change the direction in their lives, which is such a positive thing. Custom-made articles in a room say something about the homeowner, and if they can’t make it themselves, get somebody else to do it! H&H: Your hotels are full of unique details; how much is custom? KK: Our hotel rooms are like couture outfits, so every room is different. There’s always something that gives it character, whether it’s one of my fabrics, a chandelier or a headboard. Create a focal point: if you love something from

the outdoors like a weather vane, bring it inside and put it on your coffee table. H&H: Does the location influence the design of your hotels? KK: Often the historical aspect of the area is the starting point. For example, for Crosby Street Hotel, we wanted art inspired by the written word. The Whitby was more of a craft-inspired project in New York. In Ham Yard, I had to do a bowling alley, so we displayed a collection of bowling shoes because they’re so beautiful! H&H: What do you collect personally? KK: I love old weather vanes and fairy paintings. I’m doing a mural in a playroom inspired by an image from a book with a moon and little creatures with lanterns. I’m a complete romantic. SEE SHOPPING LIST

Q The trend for handmade sewing has brought a new attention to quilting. Whether antique or modern, used traditionally as bedding or hung on the wall, quilts add colour, pattern and a soulful character to rooms that feels exactly of the moment.

Quilts are made of three parts: a front, a middle layer of batting and a back. The earliest ones date back to the 13th century and were used for bedding and clothing. The craft has been interpreted differently around the world and is often associated with patchwork: the piecing together of fabrics for art or necessity, or both. Today, textile artists, fabric houses and a new generation of quilters are making modern designs that reference these time-honoured techniques and motifs in bold new ways. At Bowen Island, B.C.’s new Kitoki Inn, custom quilts by Miju Kawai are made in earthy hues to highlight intricate sashiko stitching. In Hamilton, quiltmaker Lindsay Stead nods to classic North American patterns using high-contrast shades to create quilts that read as contemporary art. “There have always been quilters,” says Lindsay. “What we’re seeing now is a small number who are stepping outside of set patterns, doing their own thing and pushing boundaries.”

HOW TO HANG A QUILT

Photography by Stephen Kent Johnson (bedroom)/Kara Mercer (room with bench)/courtesy of Design by Us (armchair upholstery)/Thompson Street Studio (table linens)/Sharktooth (draped quilts)/Still Point Studio (quilt hanging methods)

This custom quilt by Pippin Christiansen was inspired by Josef Albers’ Homage to the Square paintings. In this room by Lisa Staton, it creates a focal point above a woven bench, complementing the restful, Scandinavian scheme.

ABOVE: Take a page from retail design and drape a collection of quilts on a wall-mounted rack like the one shown here at Sharktooth, a Brooklyn, N.Y. shop specializing in antique textiles.

THREE WAYS TO DO IT Georgia Dunne from Toronto’s Still Point Studio shares her best advice.

WITH LOOPS

WITH NAILS

WITH A DOWEL OR ROD

“This method is best suited to narrow quilts so that the middle is supported. This quilt (pictured) was only 16 by 24 inches and going in a narrow area that wouldn’t have accommodated the extra width of a rod. The loops are in the same fabric as the binding.”

“This is the simplest hanging method. Use brass picture-hanging nails, measure out the placement carefully and hang the quilt straight and flat across, not draped, which will put stress on the middle and obscure the pattern and detail.”

“Sew a sleeve for the rod onto the back of the quilt, and use the same fabric as the backing so it blends in. I like a brass rod, but wood works, too. A large quilt, say 40 by 60 inches, needs a half-inch-diameter dowel, but you can go narrower if your quilt is smaller.” H&H OCTOBER 2021 67

MAKE IT MONOCHROME Bring a modern look to an underused quilt with this overdyeing DIY. Kellen Tucker sells and restores antique and vintage textiles at her Brooklyn, N.Y. shop, Sharktooth. Here’s her step-by-step guide to successful overdyeing.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED • Fibre reactive dye powder for cold water immersion (1 tbsp to 1 lb. of fabric) • Drying screen • Needle and thread

• Rubber gloves* • Stainless steel tub or bathtub • Water • Salt • Approx. ⅓ cup soda ash • Synthrapol textile detergent

ASSESS WHAT THE QUILT IS MADE OF. “If this is your first time, use an all-cotton quilt with a thin batting. You don’t want to dye a quilt with any animal fibre, wool or silk in the same bath because each material will have a different reaction to temperature and pH, and the colours will come out differently.”

CHECK THE QUILT FOR ANY EXISTING DAMAGE AND MEND ANY POPPED SEAMS. “Sometimes additional repair work will be necessary before and after the dye bath. When the quilt is wet and heavy, that can put a lot of pressure on the seams and fabric. We don’t overdye anything fragile without stabilizing the damage first.”

PICK YOUR DYE. “I recommend Dharma Trading Co. It has every kind of dye, and the website is full of tutorials. The fibre reactive procion dyes are great — my current favourite colour is Cobalt with Jet Black.”

WHEN YOUR DESIGNER TELLS YOU she’d like to add wood panelling to the walls of your new home, it might give pause for thought. It might even start images of 1970s basements dancing in your head. But when you’re the client of Toronto-based Katherine Newman Design, you just smile and nod. Because, despite owning a firm that has myriad projects throughout North America, Katherine and her partner, architect Peter Cebulak, retain no junior designers, which means that every detail — right down to door hinges and those wall panels — is handled by them personally. For Jennifer and Stuart Graham, the owners of a 1920s-era Georgian-style home on a leafy street in Toronto’s Rosedale neighbourhood, that attention to detail was exactly what was required. “When we met with Katherine, we knew that she and Peter could manage everything, from the architectural drawings down to the throw pillows,” says Jennifer. “We wanted a designer who could translate our vague ideas into a concrete concept.”

The full-scale renovation spanned just 18 months. “The house had gone through a series of undisciplined renovations with little regard to context,” says Katherine of the 6,000-square-foot expanse. This was an opportunity to express an interesting hybrid aesthetic: she and Peter could create a contemporary interior envelope that would be a complete departure from the traditional architectural vernacular. Certain hallmarks of Georgian architecture — discipline, rigour — would be respected but, says the designer, “We were looking to capture prewar elegance and postwar modernity.” With the clients ready to edge out of their design comfort zone, it opened the doors — and walls — to a complete reimagining.

lifestyle and where every room would get used, as opposed to a series of decorated but empty spaces. With two boys fresh out of university, it was key to have separate but connected areas for everyone. Jennifer and Stuart also wanted an expansive principal bedroom and an inviting, open-concept main floor with a wine cellar as a central feature (instead of having it relegated to the basement). The basement would house a state-of-the-art gym facility rather than a traditional TV space or additional unused bedrooms. Katherine immediately understood from the clients’ inspiration pictures that they were not looking for “pretty” or “classical,” but rather “handsome aesthetics” in a neutral palette with a focus on contrast. Katherine envisioned full-height wall panelling in American walnut and cerused oak, now one of the home’s most distinguishing features. The project also prioritized geometry and the combination of H&H OCTOBER 2021 77

materials, “which were woven throughout in a limited variation to render the classical contemporary,” she says. The third floor houses an apartment-like area for the couple’s sons that has two ensuite bedrooms and a lounge with a kitchenette. The second floor is a sweeping principal bedroom suite with two seating areas in hues of smoke, grey and grey mauve for peaceful respite, and the main floor has a metal and glass sliding wall partition that defines the opening between the dining room–lounge and family room. Though the look is always subdued and restrained, there are dramatic moments throughout, thanks to the consistent interplay of light and dark, as well as rich texture and pieces that serve as both furniture and art. A kitchen in shades of grey and ebony with Carrara marble–wrapped drawers, and a family room with a curved sofa and pops of red offer strategic, punctuated moments. “Red can be warm and very impactful in small doses, and it’s not pretty,” says Katherine, always respecting the owners’ request to keep ornamentation at bay. “The fun part was watching the concept unfold — seeing the early drawings develop into the area where you ultimately would watch TV, celebrate Christmas and have your morning coffee,” says Stuart. “In the end, we got everything we dreamed of.” H&H OCTOBER 2021 79

The

Stylist’s Eye TO DECORATE WITH AN EYE FOR DISPLAY IS AN ART. NICOLA MARC SHARES SOME OF HER BEST TIPS.

No.1 Repaint Old Furniture Adding a coat of fresh paint allows Nicola to keep favourite pieces for years and never tire of them, like the bookcase in the living room. It was white in her old condo, and the blue coffee table has been both red and white. “I keep a lot of my furniture because much of it is inherited and special,” she says. “I paint pieces a different colour or reupholster them in a new fabric.” 84 H&H OCTOBER 2021

No.2 Skip the Mirror Not every entry needs a mirror, according to Nicola. “I was totally in love with the wallpaper and didn’t want to break up the visual impact,” she says. “If you have a mirror, you’re always checking yourself out. Admire my wallpaper instead!” Wallpaper, Cole & Son; tile, Ciot.

Stylist Nicola Marc in her Montreal home.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO HAVE the gift of looking at a room and instantly knowing what’s wrong and what’s right? Just ask Nicola Marc: she’s one of the most in-demand stylists in Canada and works for major international clients. You’ve seen her work in H&H regularly over the years. She studied French and history in university, but Nicola credits her early magazine experience in the U.K. with teaching her about layering fabrics and textures in a relaxed way. “I didn’t really know what I wanted to do at first,” she says. “I landed a job at the U.K.’s Country Living magazine for three years and learned so much from the editors, going to photo shoots, assisting and observing what they did.”

SEE SOURCE GUIDE

Nicola’s mother, who made their Georgian home near Windsor Castle a showpiece, was another major influence. “My mother is very into design and always made our houses very beautiful and distinctive. I think you can learn so much from observation.” Nicola’s own 1910 home is in Montreal’s Notre-Dame-deGrâce neighbourhood and, over a year-long renovation, she gave it a cool, Brooklyn brownstone vibe. “I’m constantly learning — reading design books, browsing Instagram and going to museums and galleries for inspiration.” Here, Nicola pays it forward and shares her top tips for decorating your home like a pro. H&H OCTOBER 2021 85

No.3 Mix Budget with Custom When it comes to kitchen splurges and saves, Nicola chose budget Ikea lower cabinets offset by custom pieces including the island — which hides all the cookware — and the shelving and cupboards stacked around the slim fridge. And she doesn’t skimp on appliances, favouring Italian brand Smeg for its compact dimensions and sleek looks. “We go to farmers’ markets often, so we don’t need a huge fridge,” she says.

86 H&H OCTOBER 2021

No.4 Downplay Screens To help take the focus further off the TV screen (Nicola tucked it away in a corner of the sitting room), she filled the space above it with her beloved Victorian jelly mould collection. “The jelly moulds have a nice presence that doesn’t totally distract from the TV,” she says. “They’re a counterpoint that fits nicely within the display shelves.”

No.5 Consider Sight Lines Because she often places large-scale arrangements on the island, she didn’t want to block the view of the open shelving with pendants. Nicola hung them in front of the windows instead of over the island where her son, Luka, 7, helps out with the cooking.

No.6 Balance Classic with Modern Nicola grew up with — and still enjoys — an English cottage look, but to keep her home from becoming cliché, she introduces contemporary counterpoints in the kitchen, including the Smeg stainless steel vent hood and cooktop. “Modern touches like the graphic tile backsplash pull it back the other way,” she adds. “The tile is on the pricey side, so I used it sparingly.” Oven, gas cooktop, Smeg; counters, Caesarstone. SEE SOURCE GUIDE

H&H OCTOBER 2021 87

No.7 Curate Collections for an Art Wall Although there’s lots of open shelving in the kitchen, Nicola uses a dead space to show off her treasured lustreware dishes. She skips templates, placing one object in the centre and building out. “I like things to feel casual and random,” she says. “3M Command Strips are the way to go; they’re easy to take off and you can keep adding to your display.”

No.8 Think in Multiples Repetition is key when art needs to balance a large piece like this roomy sectional, where 14-year-old Clara stretches out to read. Nicola framed maps of London with personal annotations from her grandfather in inexpensive Ikea frames. “I added a ribbon trim so they stayed in place with no gap between the mat,” she says. The pendant is similarly large in scale: “The lantern is quite big for that space, but I like that, and the metal frame gives it an airiness.” 88 H&H OCTOBER 2021

SEE SOURCE GUIDE

No.9 Accent with Paint This 300-year-old farm table has a storied past with many carved initials, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be freshened up. Nicola’s husband gave it new life by topping the surface with a coat of white milk paint. The fixture above was chosen because it reminds Nicola of her jelly mould collection. She painted the metal shade interiors gold to give them more depth. Pendant, Nüspace.

H&H OCTOBER 2021 89

No.10 Think Outside the Box “There are all kinds of things you can frame; it doesn’t have to be a typical print,” says Nicola. The framed items in Luka’s room are actually alphabet cards sold through Paris children’s department store, Bonpoint, mounted in sunny yellow frames that match the moulded chair.

No.11 Refurbish to Refresh In daughter Clara’s room, the bed was a curbside find Nicola repainted, swapping out the ripped caning for floral upholstery. Nicola let Clara weigh in on the Christopher Farr Cloth wallpaper for the accent wall, then echoed the cheery hue with a banded pendant for a fun splash of colour. Pendant, Ikea; wallpaper by Christopher Farr Cloth, Y&Co.

No.12 Customize Bathroom Mirrors “It’s not that expensive to have a mirror custom-cut,” says Nicola, who drew the silhouette for the Taj Mahal–top mirror. It makes good use of the narrow space above the vanity and draws the eye up. “I needed something very high and skinny for the space, and it feels whimsical, too.” Vanity, sink, Wetstyle. 90 H&H OCTOBER 2021

No.13 Bring Style to a Dressing Room The built-in wardrobes in the walk-in closet off Nicola’s bedroom are by Ikea, but she added custom shelves above to house her collection of books. After living for years with clothes on a rolling rack, she was happy to have closed storage — except for her treasured shoes. “There’s no way I’m covering those up; they weren’t going away in a cupboard!” she says with a smile. Cabinets, Ikea; hardware, Shayne Fox Hardware.

No.14 Hack Store-bought Finds The principal bedroom has an English feel with chalky grey walls and white painted floors. “I spray-painted the Ikea table lamp black,” says Nicola. She also reupholstered the chair from her Scottish grandmother in a silk fabric and often switches up hardware to make pieces feel fresh.

AS DESIGNERS, Mélanie Cherrier and Laurence Pons Lavigne are well aware of the conventional thinking when it comes to walls: they should come down. Open-plan layouts are modern and more livable… or so it goes. Mélanie and Laurence had other ideas. “We often put up walls,” says Mélanie, one half of Blanc Marine Intérieurs, their design firm in Montreal. “We prefer enclosed rooms because you can add more layers,” adds Laurence. Walls mean more spots to display a treasured painting, add colour or create a sense of discovery as you poke around. This approach guided the designers’ full reno of a quaint stone house in Saint-Ferréolles-Neiges, Que., a scenic town with snowcapped Mont-Sainte-Anne as its backdrop,

just 45 minutes from Quebec City. “We have a view of the mountains and the most beautiful countryside,” says homeowner Geneviève Vachon. The backyard overlooks a pond that becomes a community skating rink in the winter, where her six-year-old daughter, Éléonore, likes to take a spin. Her husband, Lewis, often glides along the nearby cross-country ski trails. When the couple bought the one-and-a-half-storey dwelling — just 800 square feet on the main floor and 500 upstairs — it was only used as a ski chalet. The 1970s house was renovated in the ’90s and was in desperate need of an update. The layout was awkward, the kitchen was nondescript, and there was only one bathroom. But Geneviève, who works in public health, and Lewis, a finance director, loved the area. “For eight months of the year, we were both working up north in Puvirnituq, Quebec,” says Geneviève. “We would come down for a vacation three to four times a year, but when our daughter turned four, we settled here permanently.” The first priority was to make it feel more rustic. “I didn’t want it to be contemporary, and I didn’t want to lose the soul and charm of the house,” says Geneviève.

the perfect fit. “I saw an eclectic kitchen Blanc Marine Intérieurs did in Boucherville, Quebec, in the April 2018 issue of House & Home,” says Geneviève. Its countrified yet luxurious cabinets spoke to her. The problem: the designers were nearly four hours away in Montreal. They forged ahead anyway, with the design team overseeing the entire renovation remotely. “We had three meetings at the Montreal office,” says Geneviève, “one to discuss our needs, one where the designers revealed their concept and one where materials were chosen.” Mélanie and Laurence designed the house using floor plans and photographs. Geneviève then coordinated the renovation work herself, communicating with Mélanie and Laurence when issues and challenges came up. SEE SOURCE GUIDE

Today, a labyrinth of rooms is connected by knotty pine floors and every square inch has purpose. Upstairs, the designers added a bathroom and walk-in closet for the principal bedroom. They also created two offices for full-time remote working in their new jobs: Lewis is at another Health Centre up north in Kuujjuaq, Que., and Geneviève is now with the Public Health Department in Quebec City. “To create Geneviève’s office, we partitioned a corner of the living room and layered in antique windows salvaged from an old house in Montreal’s Outremont neighbourhood,” says Laurence. Lewis’s desk was situated around the bend from the cherrywood kitchen with its old-time butler’s pantry. Of course, the collected-over-time feeling is all an illusion, say the designers. The thoughtful mix of old and new

furniture, cosy Persian rugs, wood accents and sharp black grounding elements were all bought at the same time. The trick is in the mix and finding new pieces that feel vintage. “The table and chairs in the dining room are from RH and Pottery Barn,” says Mélanie. “We love that everything looks old and, because each chair is different, it gives the impression that they’re retro finds that have been picked up here and there.” Set against a glamorous antique Turkish chandelier, the vignette is sheer perfection. You have to move past the new walled vestibule, then push open the door on the left to really discover the home as it unfolds before you. As Geneviève puts it, “It’s timeless and classical, and it feels like the space has been maximized.” And it’s those walls, in the end, that help infuse the home with a touch of complexity, allowing the beauty of a slow reveal.

HEN A COUPLE has differing tastes, it takes a special designer to get them to the finish line. In the case of Liz and Matt Shearer, she loves clean, white and modern and he prefers a more rugged and traditional vibe. Where their visions did align was on the most important thing: the goal of creating a warm and inviting all-season cottage, where friends and family would feel right at home. Enter Toronto designer Barbara Purdy, who navigated the choppy waters of design decisions and blended their styles beautifully. “My style actually dovetails with both of theirs,” says Barbara. “I take ‘rustic’ but temper it with ‘modern’ for balance.” The couple, who have two children, ages 14 and 11, wanted a place where the family could stay for extended periods of time, not just a night or two. In 2016, they found their ideal spot — a wild lakefront property in Ontario’s Kawartha Lakes district, an easy drive from their Brooklin, Ont., home and for Liz’s parents, who live in Upstate New York. Barbara was the natural choice to, as Matt says, “quarterback” the project and hone the interiors to suit them both. She had previously H&H OCTOBER 2021 101

For years, while living in Amsterdam, Liz and Matt held on to a dog-eared copy of House & Home from 2011, bookmarked at a story about a house Barbara had done for her brother. When they moved back home to Canada, they pulled out that old issue and jumped at the chance to work with the designer. Architectural designer Ray Murakami was brought on after the couple fell in love with his work on a lottery dream home. His plan nestled the 9,000-square-foot, five-bedroom cottage into the landscape so it wouldn’t be too noticeable from the water. Working in tandem with Barbara, Ray shaped it into an evenly proportioned cottage with a respect for the land it’s on. “The cottage is situated on a unique point with beautiful lush forests, rugged rock outcroppings and breathtaking elevation. We wanted to take advantage of these

features by planning the layout to fit the unique topography, and capture the best views while being aware of the sun’s path,” says Ray. Landscaper Glenn Hayes completed the vision, repositioning rocks from the site to hug the building and create a natural slope to the water. “He’s a magician with rocks,” says Liz. The cornerstone of the project was the addition of two breezeways. Wow factor aside, they connect smaller arms of the building, breaking up the mass of the structure and allowing for clear sight lines. “When you pull up to the cottage, you can see straight through to the lake,” says Liz. Inside, the result is quiet, contemplative corridors, with privacy for the principal bedroom at one end, and guest rooms at the other. From the start, Barbara suggested that there be no drywall in the cottage. “It just wasn’t the right fit,” she says. When they found a unique prefinished oak wall treatment from Unik Parquet, the rooms started to take shape. It also appealed to Matt, who craved a more woodsy look. “To me, this project is about nature and the surroundings. Everything is oriented toward that,” says Barbara. “The soft, muted palette doesn’t compete with the SEE SOURCE GUIDE

intense green in the summer, the golden tones of fall, and even the white of winter.” Natural and durable finishes such as slate, oak and outdoor fabrics were also key to accomplishing the put-yourfeet-up vibe the couple was after. “We didn’t want anything too precious,” says Liz. Perennial entertainers, the couple had a full games room and bar included in the plan, along with several gathering areas, fireplaces, and TVs for ultimate relaxation. When people come to stay (the cottage sleeps 12), they can easily spread out. Much of the action revolves around food and conversation in the kitchen. “They’re a young family that hosts a lot. They didn’t want a big kitchen that would easily clutter, so there’s a ton of storage,” says Barbara of the walk-through pantry concept. Mess is hidden from the main kitchen, which is open to the living and dining areas. Liz loves decorating and worked alongside Barbara at every step to help create the cottage’s timeless charm and welcoming atmosphere. “We chose things that we weren’t going to tire of, that would stay with us a long time and outlast the trends,” says Liz. “Barbara was the missing link for bringing our styles together.” 106 H&H OCTOBER 2021

New Classic

THE BACKSTORY: Building a home from the ground up is no easy task — especially in the middle of a pandemic — but for busy doctor Melanie Toman and her five-year-old son, Gabriel, relocating from Oakville, Ont., to downtown Bowmanville, Ont., was a chance for a fresh start. She hired designer Orsi Panos to give the home a curated feel. “The intention was to create a kitchen that didn’t look new,” says Orsi. “The mix of finishes made it feel like it had evolved over time.” The 430-square-foot space features a classic black and white palette layered with pale woods and soft neutrals. The sophisticated look brings together painted and white oak millwork, matte black and brass hardware, statement brass pendants, a two-tone copper faucet and handmade glazed ceramic backsplash tile. “The tiled vent hood was a huge leap of faith for me,” says Melanie. The island colour, however, felt closer to home. “When I showed Melanie Farrow & Ball’s Railings, it was love at first sight,” says Orsi. For the perimeter cabinets, the designer chose a combination of soft white and oak. “A touch of wood always adds a dash of charm,” she says. The final result is a space that’s inviting, layered and perfect for making new memories. LEFT: Oversized brass pendants feel sculptural in the space.

Designer Ami McKay.

THE BACKSTORY: “Once upon a time, I lived in England and drooled over old country kitchens,” says designer Ami McKay, who took inspiration from her travels to design this 219-squarefoot kitchen for Tom and Luisa Chen and their two sons, Tomas, 7, and Marco, 5. The family had torn down and rebuilt their circa-1912 Vancouver character home, and a fresh design plan with a splash of colour sounded appetizing. The French bistro– style patterned backsplash tile was the jumping-off point for the saturated palette. “I’ve always really loved the colour green,” says Luisa, who signed off on Sherwin-Williams’ Rosemary for the cabinet colour. To balance the bold choice, Ami added in TOP LEFT: Eight- by eight-inch artisanal cement tile creates a dynamic focal point. Backsplash, Saltillo Imports.

“EVERYTHING SPARKS JOY IN ME WHEN I WALK INTO THIS HOME!” — Ami McKay, designer plenty of white oak millwork. A stand-alone floor-to-ceiling cabinet stores chargers, stationery and keys while a curved vent hood with built-in shelving adds a dash of the unexpected. “I’ve only ever seen this abroad and I couldn’t wait to incorporate the feature into a Canadian kitchen,” says the designer. Finally, simple pendants in an opal acrylic were added as a calm counterpoint to the look-at-me tile. “Ami was the perfect fit to design our dream kitchen,” says Tom. “She brought in design elements that were not only unique and beautiful but also very practical.” TOP RIGHT: An open-concept layout was nonnegotiable for the young family.

ASK A CHEF David Hawksworth of Nightingale shares the recipe for his decadent Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Q: I ordered the brussels sprouts dish at Vancouver’s Nightingale and was blown away. It had the most unique combination of flavours that I’ve been craving ever since. Can you get the recipe for me? — MAGGIE, Vancouver

A: Growing up, David found brussels sprouts to be “sort of horrifying,” and he was determined to find the cure. Well, this dish is it. To ensure each bite is cooked perfectly, all the sprouts are halved, roasted and caramelized. To cut the density, he adds vinegar-pickled grapes, which also balance the flavour and bring some colour. This dish is one of the restaurant’s most-ordered menu items. “We often sell 40 pounds of brussels sprouts a day,” says David.

Gently lift dough into tart pan and press pastry onto bottom and up sides (but not into creases) of pan. With sharp knife, cut excess pastry from top of tart pan. Press pastry into creases of pan. 4. Place tart pan on baking sheet. Line tart shell with foil or parchment paper, leaving a 1" overhang, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges are just beginning to turn golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to rack and let cool completely, then remove parchment paper and pie weights. MAKE FILLING 1. Melt butter in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. 2. In medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, then whisk in melted butter. Fold in nuts. Place tart pan on baking sheet and pour filling into tart shell. BAKE TART 1. Bake tart, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set around edges and jiggles slightly in centre when nudged, about 1 hour. Loosely place tent of foil over tart if crust gets too dark. Transfer to rack to cool completely. Remove sides and dust with icing sugar just before serving. The tart can be stored, covered, in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

THE COLLECTED COTTAGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 46 friends Debra and Barry Campbell. Last week, Barry brought me three small mirrors in fabulous handcarved frames that are part of a folk art tradition called tramp art. This technique of chip carving is believed to have been brought to North America by journeymen who had apprenticed under master carvers from Germany and Scandinavia. Available materials give rise to craft forms and, in this case, empty cigar boxes, pine packing crates and other salvaged bits of wood were collected, layered, then chip carved and stained into beautiful boxes, frames and other objects. By 1880, tramp art was a hugely popular art form and, here in Ontario, there are stories of new immigrants arriving in Kitchener-Waterloo and giving fine tramp art as gifts to thank their Amish and Mennonite hosts. I love our tramp art frames. I may leave them as mirrors, or try framing fabric or old photos. I saw this done by Ralph Lauren for one of his dreamy cottage home collections in an ad, just last month. I kept the page in a file, not knowing what I was looking at, but now I do! That’s the best part of collecting — there’s always a story.

PREPARE THE DYE BATH. “Wear rubber gloves and work clothes during the dyeing process. Fill a tub with about three gallons of water, or enough for the quilt to swim around freely to ensure an even dye application. When using a dark dye, I use the hottest water I can get from my faucet — it’s the only way the dye takes. Add some salt to the water and fully dissolve. Make the dye paste in a separate container, following the package instructions, then add to the water, fully dissolving.”

Former NHL player David Jones and his wife, Kimberly.

ADD THE QUILT AND MOVE IT IN THE WATER FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. “If the colour isn’t dark enough, add more dye. Then, in a separate container, dissolve the soda ash in warm water, following the package directions. Remove the quilt or move it to one side of the tub. Slowly add the soda ash solution. Re-add the quilt and stir for at least 20 more minutes. Drain the tub and rinse the quilt in cold water until the water runs clear, then wash with Synthrapol or another textile detergent and rinse again. Roll it in a towel to press out any excess water, then lay it flat to dry on a breathable screen. If using a porcelain or enamel tub, scrub it right away with borax, baking soda and soap so the dye doesn’t stain it.”

BE PATIENT AND FLEXIBLE. “There’s a lot of trial and error involved. We like to add some detailing with our repair work after dyeing, like adding a single-patch appliqué in a contrasting fabric.” Alison Westlake with daughters Adeline (left) and Hattie.

Stacy Begg’s tips and tricks for updating your windows at home.

Before 142 H&H OCTOBER 2021

Q A

I’m planning on replacing my living room windows. Should I make the interior of the windows black or keep them white? — D.B., Toronto

Before you replace your living room windows, you’ll need to consider the type you want — double-hung or casement. This decision will depend on the existing windows throughout the rest of your house. I can see double-hung windows in the photograph, so if the rest of your home has this type of window you’ll want to be consistent. But if you’re changing all your windows, then a casement style might be a good choice, as it allows for lots of airflow. Next, you can opt to add mullions or not, and decide the colour for the frames. The mullions should suit the style of your house, and going black or staying with white will, again, depend on what you already have and whether you want to be consistent. Black window frames would be dramatic (top right), but white window frames with the right drapes can also look great (top left).

To freshen up this room, I suggest painting the walls in a cool white like Benjamin Moore’s Decorator’s White. Add a pair of floor-to-ceiling, centre-split drapes for each window, hanging the rods between the crown moulding and the top of the window frame. Opt for a solid fabric in a neutral colour; linen would be a great choice. Or, you can have custom drapes made in a beautiful print to really transform your room. Select a new coffee table that is sleek and contemporary, like this one from LD Shoppe. Streamline your floor covering by removing the hide and just having one large rug. Finally, bring in pattern and texture with throw pillows. Happy decorating! 1. W-2500 Series Black-painted Clad Wood casement window, from $1,000. Jeld-Wen Windows & Doors. 2.

PARISIAN COOL

By BIANCA ZANOTTI

As Coco Chanel once said, “Fashion changes, but style endures.” Nowhere is this more apparent than in the City of Lights, where Parisians are famous for their chic, effortless looks — consider this Louis Vuitton ensemble (above, right). As our homes and wardrobes transition to fall, we’re taking a page from Parisian style to decorate in this curated, sophisticated way. This pied-à-terre by Washington, D.C. designer Shannon Claire (above) nods to Paris with its black marble mantel and artful accessories. Minimalist statement pieces are the key to this look: set the tone with Coswick Canada’s chevron wood flooring and Visual Comfort’s brass and glass chandelier, then layer in accents like Anthropologie’s quietly ornate Gleaming Primrose mirror or Black Rooster Maison’s La Dame planter, reminiscent of an ancient statue. And for the fashionista, slip on a pair of Chloé’s scalloped ballet flats, don Dior’s square-frame sunglasses and accessorize with Saint Laurent’s elegant leather satchel, then imagine yourself people-watching at Café de Flore while nibbling on a perfect pain au chocolat.
