TESTIMONIAL

We have been fortunate to have lived in Jamaica and New Zealand, but Toronto has been home for the last 39 years. We have lived in and loved Bloor West Village and Baby Point neighbourhoods.

When it was time to plan our forever, we asked Nutan Brown to help us find the perfect home and/or lot to build. The search lasted 3+ years and at last we were successful in finding a terrific opportunity in the heart of Bloor West Village and close to all the amenities that we love about the village.

Next step was to find an architect who could design and deliver on our wishes. Nutan recommended a wonderful and talented architect...his team of contractor and interior designer help us create a home allowing us to age in place with an elevator and a suite for a future caregiver. Recently our architect won a prestigious award for our modern home! Nutan, thank you so much for your patience over that 3 year period...we are so grateful for your help and so delighted with our dream home.

INTERIOR DESIGN rules to follow t Switch Studio, we are always being asked about how high things should be, what size is best, and why something just looks “off”. Here are a few basic interior design rules to help answer these questions.

Proper height of side tables Side tables should ideally be even with the arm height of your sofa, or the same height as the top of your mattress if we’re talking about bedroom design. That being said, you may not always be able to do that, so either a couple of inches higher or lower is totally fine. We would not suggest a difference of more than 3 inches higher or lower, because then it can start to look weird and the functionality of the table suffers as well.

12

Ideal rug size Ideally, your rug should be large enough for all of your furniture to be sitting on it. That being said, you want to ensure that the rug is also not too big or too small for the room itself – It’s nice to have an approximate 12-24 inches of floor showing around the edge. In the bedroom you want to aim for a minimum of 24 inches of rug extending past your bed.

A few more tips When determining your furniture layout for a living room, it’s always great to keep conversation in mind. When creating a conversational seating area be sure to keep the seating around 4-8 feet from each other, so you don’t feel too close or too far from your guests.

N

When hanging drapery you should hang them as high as possible. If you have crown moulding, be sure to mount the rod below that (obviously), but if you don’t have crown moulding then you can mount the rod even higher.

The higher you go the taller your room will feel.

When hanging art or decorative mirrors have the midpoint of the piece sit at around 60 inches. If your home has high ceilings then you can hang it a little higher so the midpoint is around 65 inches. If you’re hanging art or decorative mirrors above a sofa or bed you should have approximately 8-12 inches from the top of the sofa/bed to the bottom of your piece, depending on the height of your ceilings.
