Creating Several Inviting Entertaining Spaces

Living room Renovation, Elmira, Ontario

To create a purposeful space while bringing warm and cozy textures together to make the space welcoming.

Our clients always felt their house was big enough, but the biggest question was, “How do we make this space livable?”. Our clients and their family have always enjoyed spending time with friends and family. Their goal was to create several inviting entertaining spaces throughout their home to share with others.

The Challenges

Covid-19 Dilemma

The project started in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, causing delays within the furniture industry. The clients were patient, and despite some of the delays, we were able to fulfill our client’s vision and complete the project on time.

layout changes

We didn’t have access to the client’s blueprints, and a few changes happened mid-renovation that affected our original furniture layouts. We worked around these changes and created a small vignette in that area.

Bring your blueprints so that we know what the renovation end goal is. Working off the blueprints, we will design a furniture floor plan with purpose.

The Design Approach

Our clients wanted to create an open and inviting space that worked for their lifestyle. Their home is often used for entertaining, but the upstairs living room is where their family will hang out together in the morning. This space needed to be cozy and welcoming, and placing the chaise by the window, allows you to sit with your feet up while drinking your morning coffee to reflect on an upcoming day.

The Concept

We created a concept to reflect our clients’ need to have a welcoming space for entertaining guests while also being functional for their family during the week.

We considered how the colours and textures would make guests feel when they enter the space. Choosing a mix of warm wood tones, leathers, and fabrics, we created a beautiful contrast of textures and materials, reflecting the clients’ vision.

Bring us photos of rooms and products you love. By assessing multiple room photos, we can streamline your tastes and help you choose a piece of furniture that is not only a similar aesthetic but one that will be comfortable, Canadian-Made, and durable.

The Floor Plan

When the clients’ approached us, their vision was to put the sofa by the patio doors. After our team reviewed the space, we recommended moving the seating area closer to the wall unit, which would create the main walking and allow for a better flow of conversation when hosting.

Product Selection

Keeping in mind the clients’ family and their goal to create an entertaining space for all ages, we recommended leather for the sofa as it will be durable and easy to clean. In addition to choosing durable materials, the product selections were Canadian-made and locally handcrafted.

The Final Results

A beautiful, functional, family home that updated the entire look of their living spaces. By prioritizing their love for entertaining, our clients created a space they love while keeping it livable for their family’s lifestyle.
