Hot Take: Veronica Martin and Carrie Stinson Share Their Design Preferences & Predictions
Veronica Martin and Carrie Stinson founded Two Fold Interiors in Toronto in 2018. Known for creating pared-back, elegant rooms, the design duo shared some of their recent projects and preferences with us in H&H’s September issue. “A classic approach to modern design guides all of our decisions,” says Carrie. They’re currently restoring a Queen Anne–era home in the city’s Rosedale neighborhood. Scroll down to see what’s inspiring them lately!
The Audo, a design-forward hotel and shop concept in Copenhagen.
Into:
Carrie: I love the Audo, with its plaster walls and serene spaces.
Veronica: Modern residential design in Australia; the use of natural materials is so creative.
Over: Graphic glam and overdone spaces.
Subdued color palettes and relaxed, high-quality furniture are a studio signature. “We kept the original crown moldings and modernized them with the wall paneling and furniture,” says Veronica of this living room belonging to Toronto food and lifestyle entrepreneur Trish Magwood.
Idea you’re excited to try in a project:
Veronica (left): Stone drawer fronts.
Choose any room to redesign: Our kids’ classrooms. Kids and teachers need more adaptable environments that restore a feeling of community. We’d focus on available light and bring in natural materials and textures.
On your coffee table:
Veronica: A glass of wine and the cover of whatever record my husband is playing.
Most Treasured Possession:
Veronica: My dad’s wedding band.
Carrie: My Little Petra chair.
If you could buy only one more thing for your home:
Veronica: Any art by Lilian Crum.
Carrie: A Sainte Atelier light fixture by Rachel Bussin from Lambert & Fils.
