“My colour fan for the living and dining rooms, kitchen and principal guest suite was amber, claret, mustard, orange and off-black,” says Lynda Reeves of her lakehouse palette. “The amber chandeliers are vintage from Stanley Wagman Antiques in Toronto.”

In the living room, Lynda chose the Charlotte sofa, two matching chairs and ottomans from Montauk, done in claret mohair velvet with a single bench seat cushion. “I’m a big believer in keeping the largest upholstered pieces in one solid colour. I find it’s visually calming, and it lets you change things up easily with new pillows and throws. We love them.”
