We created coffered ceilings over the original cement ceiling in order to add LED lighting. A sleeper sofa increases the capacity for overnight guests, and the leather ottoman has a built-in tray center for drinks and snacks. Blush-orange armchairs in a mini print pattern introduce a new color, which is echoed in throw pillows and artwork. The open etagere houses collections and books without closing in the space. A custom area rug adds warmth and grounds the grouping. Photography Lauren Hagerstrom

Tania Scardellato from TOC design Small homes can be challenging, so make sure furniture have double duty. Like this sectional sofa bed, the over sized coffee table, used for gaming and entertaining and is almost indestructible by children. jA living room is made for LIVING, it is not a show room

The living room furniture wasn’t doing our clients any favours. The comfort they once sought in the room had turned to lethargy, and they wanted to liven things up. (When the sag in your sofa turns you into a human burrito, it’s time to let go.) Before we brought in the new, however, we wanted to focus on functionality. How was the space going to be used? Our clients love to host casual get togethers with family and friends, and they love a family movie night, so we knew ample seating was a must-have. We also wanted to make the living room feel as big as it actually is. Something to note: Let your furniture breathe! Allow for plenty of clearance between your furniture; don’t fill up your space with furniture just because the space allows for it. We got rid of the bookshelf and console table behind the sofa, which opened up the space for entertaining or for movie nights. Our clients now have room for a Christmas tree in the corner! Now the space is modern, purposeful, and oh so cozy! We stopped at nothing to make this living room feel as inviting as possible. The detailed tile in the fireplace, the textures in the accessories and pillows, and the various wood tones all work together to create comfort and style. And please don’t worry about mixing wood tones. When done with the right balance, the different shades will add warmth and depth to any space. Ottomans are the perfect way to maximize seating and comfort. They can be used for extra seating or pulled over to a sofa to rest the legs for maximum lounging. Now that there’s plenty of clearance between the cocktail table and sofas, our clients have the space to move these versatile pieces around. Thank you for visiting! We’re always honoured to share our transformed and updated homes! We hope you love this cozy living room as much as our clients do.
