About Contemporary Family Haven
Inspired Countryside Living
Nestled amid the woods and farmer’s fields north of Toronto, this family home captures nature’s essence. Driven by their vision, a professional couple with young children yearned for interiors reflecting casual yet fashion-forward aesthetics. Thus, they fused modern elements with hints of playfulness and rustic charm. Consequently, the interiors sparkle with hues of greens, yellows, and soft blues. These shades not only echo the wildflowers, trees, and grasses outside but also infuse the house with a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere.
Moreover, as avid entertainers, the homeowners envisioned a versatile lower level. So, they designed a space that caters to expansive dinners, seating as many as thirty guests. Adjacent to this, a catering kitchen aids in serving grand feasts. And then, for post-dinner relaxation, a ‘rat-pack’ inspired bar, boasting flagstone feature walls, becomes the center of attraction. Additionally, a chic ‘swank’ lounge adds to the laid-back ambiance, perfect for winding down. Finally, amidst all this luxury, thoughtful details stand out. Mid-century meets contemporary, blending distressed oak, walnut, marble, and porcelain, thus crafting a distinctive country haven.
