Kitchen - modern kitchen idea in Stockholm

Bathroom - modern bathroom idea in Stockholm

This project involved converting an older interior space into a functional studio-style apartment. The layout included a living area, bedroom space, kitchen, and full bathroom. The goal was to modernize the space while improving comfort and functionality. The project included demolition of existing finishes, drywall installation, interior painting, installation of recessed lighting throughout the space, and new LVT flooring. A complete kitchen installation was completed with new cabinets, countertop, and appliances layout. The bathroom was fully remodeled with new bathtub, tile installation, vanity, toilet, and updated fixtures. Additional work included installation of new base molding, replacement of the main entry door, and framing to close an unused staircase access. The final result is a clean, modern studio apartment ready for comfortable living.

Dining room - transitional dining room idea

The Simply Home Decorating Design Studio is located in the beautiful community of Deep Cove in North Vancouver, British Columbia. I like to be at home when my daughter gets home from school each day so having an office that is close to home is of the utmost importance to me. When the opportunity came along to design and build an extension to our home and add a new legal suite that would become SHD headquarters, I was thrilled! I worked with architect Matthew Hansen, also based in North Vancouver, to come up with a design that was completely integrated with the existing house. His design was all that I had dreamed of and more. Our home was transformed from a modest 1950's side split with a converted carport/garage to what looks like a brand new home with a two car garage and a legal bachelor apartment suite. When it came to the interior, there was no question that I would spare no expense in making my new office exactly what I had always dreamed. I also had to keep in mind that one day, when I retire or my business outgrows the space, we may want to use it as rental apartment or in-law suite so the design had to be carefully crafted to suit both of these purposes. The result is a fabulous creative space full of light that houses my successful design business and I couldn't be happier "working from home."

My client lived in a small studio apartment, and after working long days at his tech start-up, he needed a sanctuary in which to return and recharge. His only requests were that the space feel like a yoga studio and embody Zen.
