Project Old Toronto

In this Old Toronto home, the living room wall does three jobs. A television sits in the centre, closed wood cabinets keep everyday items out of sight, and a pair of arched niches gives books and ceramics a place of their own. The shelves follow the curves of the openings, leaving space around each object.

Room for work and play

A desk fits into a recess beside open shelves. A small wall light illuminates the work surface without taking up desk space. In the children’s play space, full-height wood closet doors sit alongside a dollhouse. The closed storage leaves the toys and artwork in view.

A different palette for the vanity

Green tile brings colour to the vanity wall. The rounded mirror picks up the curves of the living room arches, while the wood cabinet carries a familiar finish into a smaller space.
