Bedroom - contemporary master porcelain tile and brown floor bedroom idea in Vancouver with white walls, a standard fireplace and a tile fireplace

With its spectacular views, this once-dated apartment was calling out for a high-end renovation. The project was very close to home for the Project Mint team, and it was a pleasure working with a client that was so keen for innovation. This large apartment is now a smart / automated home. The electric blinds, new underfloor heating, lights, alarms, entertainment systems etc. can be controlled / monitored from a smart phone.
