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.
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.
