Kelly Deck

KELLY DECK DESIGN VANCOUVER

“The delicate details in this dining area are what catch my eye. The chandelier adds a hint of femininity, and the handcrafted ceramics keep it down-to-earth. I love that this space is functional and fuss-free, and that the design won’t detract from the joys of sharing a meal.” – Ann Marie

Jacquelyn Clark

LARK & LINEN INTERIOR DESIGN TORONTO

“I love everything about this dream home. This room showcases an eclectic mix of contemporary, beachy and industrial elements. Jacquelyn created a traditional sitting area by the fire alongside a casual TV zone, with both being equally inviting.” – Morgan

STACY BEGG DESIGN TORONTO

“The distinctive materials, such as velvet, linen, grasscloth and bamboo, that are incorporated into this room give it a unique flair. It is truly one of a kind.” – Morgan

Lindsay Mens Craig

SARAH RICHARDSON DESIGN TORONTO

“From the plush and cozy textures to the playful colour palette, this room looks irresistibly comfy to me.” – Morgan

Orsi Panos

ORSI PANOS INTERIORS WHITBY, ONT.

“With its mix of chrome and bronze hardware, bright countertop, patterned backsplash, wooden shelves and dark cabinetry, this kitchen expertly brings multiple design concepts into one.” – Morgan

Robyn Madeline

ROBYN MADELINE INTERIORS TORONTO

“I think ‘effortless elegance’ is the best way to describe this eating area. I picture this table being set for both a casual brunch and a fancy feast.” – Ann Marie

Sophie Burke

SOPHIE BURKE DESIGN VANCOUVER

“The playful combination of an old wood table (found at a flea market) paired with multicoloured modern dining chairs makes this room perfect for relaxed dining. The statement pendant light fixture sets the design apart from any other.” – Ann Marie

Ingrid Oomen & Vanessa Kwan

QUMMUNICATE TORONTO

“This room boasts a brilliant use of inexpensive big- box-store shelving units, which have a custom look when placed on the marble countertop. What a fantastic idea! The floor tiles draw interest and keep this high-end kitchen looking fresh.” – Ann Marie

MHOUSE TORONTO

“I love it when designers think outside the box. Here, a round rug makes a huge impact, complementing other circular features in the design. A mix of bold colours and patterns completes the look in this whimsical and dramatic living room.” – Ann Marie

Jennifer Ferreira

FERREIRA DESIGN TORONTO

“The black and white piped chairs and simple hanging glass lantern make this room seem so sophisticated.” – Ann Marie

Anne Hepfer

ANNE HEPFER DESIGNS TORONTO

“I admire designers who dare to make bold statements like this bright colour combo. It is so perfectly tropical – cheers to the pink trim on the headboard and bedding!” – Ann Marie

Margie Doyle White

DOYLE DESIGN TORONTO

“I simply adore the use of the unexpected gold chair in this soft and neutral space. So romantic and glamorous!” – Morgan

Montana Burnett

MONTANA BURNETT DESIGN TORONTO

“The black fireplace and graphic artwork create an eye-catching focal wall that sets the stage for the rest of this clean and simple modern room.” – Morgan

Melanie Hay

MELANIE HAY DESIGN TORONTO

“This room is traditional yet modern – a style mix I crave! The round table and chandelier add movement to the space, while the hit of wood on the dining chairs and the curated art collection provide contrast to the black and white theme. And let’s not ignore the area rug – it makes the floor pop!” – Morgan

Jessica Waks

JESSICA CLAIRE INTERIORS TORONTO

“The playful combinations of bold and simple patterns used in this room call to me. Its charismatic and luxurious appeal makes it the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy some tasty predinner cocktails.” – Morgan

CHRISTINE DOVEY STYLE TORONTO

“Whimsical wallpaper and unexpected artwork paired with traditional furniture and bold patterns make for a bright and playful design that I can only describe as fantastic!” – Ann Marie
