Inside a Graceful Family Home in Ontario

This foyer is warm and luxurious with custom rift-cut oak panelling.

Rooted in classic design and modern sensibility, designers Elizabeth Metcalfe and Nicole Webster of Elizabeth Metcalfe Interiors & Design Inc created graceful interiors with elegant design elements for this home in Ontario, bringing an undeniable sense of calm, harmony and balance to the space.

  • This foyer is warm and luxurious with custom rift-cut oak panelling.

    The foyer is warm and luxurious with custom rift-cut oak panelling. A dramatic mirror by Laura Kirar, a mohair sofa and glass-and-brass wall sconces create an eye-catching vignette in the entryway niche, which is highlighted with a contrasting fine wool upholstery wall covering.

  • The classic, modern great room features dove-gray velvet and linen-covered Kravet sofas, a custom ivory lacquered sofa table, and custom built-in bookcases. A Powell and Bonnell contemporary wing chair upholstered in a deep mink mohair fabric balances the clean, bright room.

  • In the breakfast area, sunlight is softly filtered by sheer linen drapery from Kravet. Powell and Bonnell's large scale floor lamps and console add drama to this family space.

  • Custom bronze metal screens in the great room's cased doorway opening add geometric detailing and lead to the back of the home.

  • The kitchen has a sleek, minimalist look with a bespoke ceiling light fixture by Ridgely Studio Works and a large-scaled hood and range that echo the fireplace design in the great room.

  • In the kitchen seating area, Metcalfe upholstered Kravet barstools in an indoor/outdoor fabric for increased practicality. A bronze halo light by Le Deun Luminaires complements the linear design elements of the space.

  • Deep-colored walls in the butler’s pantry are a moody contrast to the adjacent kitchen. The cabinetry hardware is by Rocky Mountain Hardware.

  • In the dining room, a low-profile geometric plaster design on the ceiling elegantly highlights the ethereal hand-cut white glass and polished nickel light fixture. Navy velvet chairs by Kravet and a hand-knotted area rug by Weaver’s Art add warmth.

  • Custom railings in a deep bronze finish lead to the upper hallway landing with a leather upholstered Hickory Chair ottoman and acrylic framed photography.

  • The master suite is beautifully layered with a hanging pendant by Baker, a silk-velvet upholstered bed frame by Hickory Chair, and an ivory lacquered dresser by Powell & Bonnell.

  • The ensuite master bathroom has a modern sensibility with clean lines, captivating light fixtures and muted hues.

  • The walk-in closet is outfitted with custom cabinetry and a custom-made roman blind in a linen sheer fabric from Kravet. Brass hardware from Rocky Mountain Hardware and a crystal chandelier from Visual Comfort add a hint of glamour to the soft colors of the space.

  • A bright Kelly Wearstler printed linen fabric adds a fun pop of color to the warm taupe tones of the mudroom, which is both stylish and functional with custom-built cabinetry and storage.
