January: A Designer’s Rustic Yet Refined Kitchen
Designer Jordy Fagan went for integrated appliances and a hidden pantry in her kitchen because of the open concept layout — she didn’t want the appliances to be visible from the family room. They were also given a moody makeover with Benjamin Moore’s Black Beauty (2128-10).
February: A White & Wood Condo Kitchen
For an unexpected design moment, a dropped light panel with wood trim inset into glass provides a modern alternative to pendants in this cool condo kitchen. “We were sick of pendants, so we went for it,” says designer Christine Johnston.
March: An English-Inspired Mudroom
In this narrow, blue-gray mudroom, painted in Farrow & Ball’s Down Pipe (26), beadboard detailing gives the space a touch of English character. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry keeps seasonal items out of sight, while brass hardware adds warmth.
April: A Light & Airy Banquette
This savvy storage system makes a case for open shelving because the homeowners can showcase their most cherished items and hang their house coats and shoes in the hidden compartment next to the patio door. The banquette is perfect for curling up with a good book.
May: An Elegant Parisian Living Room
Entrepreneur Jackie Kai Ellis wanted to maximize space in her 800-square-foot Paris apartment, so she opted for a rust-colored pull-out sofa. The intricate fireplace hearth is a Pinterest dream, while a leafy plant evokes natural wonder in the heart of the city.
June: A Storied Entryway With Exposed Brick
In the entryway of this Toronto family home, an original brick wall and playful wallpaper set the tone for the rest of the space. Designer Rebecca Axler made the brick even more of a focal point with a rustic mirror and eye-catching pendant hanging above.
July: An Old World Green Kitchen
“This kitchen is truly a bespoke experience and uniquely tailored,” says designer Jack Creasy of Bloomsbury Fine Cabinetry. “I love the dramatic presence of the Lacanche range in that off-black color; it’s also soothing against the green.”
August: A Heritage-Inspired Powder Room
For a dose of heritage charm, a deep shade of moss (which is a hot hue for 2020) complements the storied elements in this powder room, like a glass-front cabinet with knick knacks and bathroom essentials on display.
September: A Moody Principal Bedroom
With the addition of millwork detailing, Farrow & Ball’s Railings (31) transforms neutral linens and natural wood furniture into a cozy year-round retreat.
October: A Living Room With Wow-Factor
No chimney breast? No problem. Designer Kirsten Marshall gave this living room wall a color-blocked treatment to highlight the roaring fire. Go bold with a dark hue to provide a visual anchor in the space.
November: A Millennial-Chic Reading Nook
Wendy Lau wanted to create multiple places in her plant-filled home to kick back and relax — and the guest bedroom was no exception. A woven Papasan chair is made even more comfy with textured pillows and a tasseled blanket.
December: A Whimsical Holiday Vignette
How dreamy is this collection of bottle brush trees and miniature toy houses in designer Ajai Guyot’s minimalist home? A lush wreath with pinecones is a simple way to add holiday cheer to a door.
