Respect the 90s
A main floor renovation, including full kitchen redesign and living room furnishings, to create a liveable space for a young family. Soft arches nod to the home’s 1990s architecture and windows while feeling relevant today and for years to come.
St. Catharines, Ontario
The high-impact range hood mimics the arched windows on the front of the house, helping them to feel relevant 30 years on.
Rather than shy away from a dated trend, we updated the windows for a more modern appeal and incorporated their arched design in the kitchen. The result is a cohesive design that resonates with the architecture and modernizes the home’s overall aesthetic.
The living room needed to feel grown up enough for hosting family and friends, but comfortable enough for every day living with young children.
Material selections are always a bit of a balancing act, and this living room was no exception. We wanted the custom sofas to feel luxe, but needed to make sure that the fabric could stand up to the littlest family member’s love of all things glitter. The distressed velvet we selected introduces a beautiful texture with enough movement and variation in tone that it can hide craft-time spills, but feels sophisticated and laid back at the same time (something of a Common Purpose calling card).
