Montreal condo loft with colour

The client wanted to add a lot of colour and energy to the bland beige on beige loft. She also wanted harmony flowing through the kitchen, dining, and living area…not an easy task. Despite a wall of windows, the condo felt dark and dreary (see before photos). We produced a light plan for track lighting mounted on the cement ceiling and recommended several lamps, including the corner dramatic red fabric lamp. We recruited the painters for a fresh new colour palette of bright white and blue with hits of colour distributed throughout the open-plan concept. We selected a new deep red area rug to add interest to the dining area. The area rug also anchors and defines the dining-room. We assisted the client in all material selections, finishes, custom cushions and window treatment for privacy in the daylight hours; white sheers allow the light in, but also a level of intimacy. They also soften and balance out the rough concrete structures. The entire living space is uncluttered, brighter and far more interesting than it was when she moved in.
