Schroeder Design/Build created seven different layout options and our clients selected an “L” shaped design that required removing a bearing wall. This allowed us to open up the kitchen area and create a laundry area that was formerly an under stair closet. The new kitchen features loads of counter space for working and cabinets and drawers for storage. Appliances were placed to maximize flow and prevent traffic jams. A well-planned layered light plan offers overhead, task and accent lighting throughout. The peninsula seating area allows the kids to sit and do homework or socialize while mom’s preparing meals. This kitchen remodel includes many special touches that make it perfectly suited for this family. The knee wall under the peninsula is tiled to prevent damage to the cabinets from accidental kicking while the kids sit on stools. There’s a niche behind the sink to add extra counter depth for plants.

The cabinetry along the wall combines a mix of dark and white finishes, enhancing the room's contemporary feel.

Decorate your living space with an exceptional area rug that brings both elegance and comfort to your home. Rugs are fundamental in interior design, providing not only visual appeal but also warmth and texture to any room. Whether you're enhancing a cozy living room or adding a sophisticated touch to your bedroom, selecting the right rug can profoundly impact your home’s ambiance. When considering living room rugs, you have a multitude of options to choose from. For expansive spaces, oversized rugs or large carpets are perfect for creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. These substantial pieces can anchor a room, offering both style and function. Opting for a huge carpet for the living room adds a layer of luxury and comfort, making your space feel more grand and sumptuous. For a more customized touch, explore large living room carpet rugs. These generously sized rugs provide extensive coverage and are ideal for adding a plush, cushioned feel to your floor. The scale of these rugs makes them perfect for enhancing the comfort and visual interest of larger rooms, creating a welcoming environment for relaxation and social gatherings. In addition to traditional living room options, consider floor carpets and mats for the kitchen. These practical yet stylish additions can infuse your kitchen with warmth and coziness. Kitchen mats, in particular, are designed to handle spills and stains, ensuring they remain both functional and aesthetically pleasing. When selecting rugs, pay attention to the material and maintenance needs. For high-traffic areas like the living room, durability and ease of cleaning are key. Look for rugs with stain-resistant properties or those that are machine washable to ensure they stay looking fresh. Non-slip or adhesive backings are also important, particularly for hardwood or tile floors, to prevent slips and ensure stability. Additionally, consider the comfort factor. Cushioned rugs can enhance the overall feel of your space, making it more inviting and enjoyable. Personalized or custom rugs allow you to select specific designs, colors, and sizes that perfectly match your decor and preferences. An 8x10 rug, for example, offers ample coverage for larger rooms and adds versatility to your decorating options. A well-chosen rug is not just a decorative element but also a practical investment in your home’s comfort and style. Whether you’re choosing a large rug for a spacious living room, a floor carpet for the kitchen, or a big carpet to make a bold statement, the right rug can transform your living environment into a stylish and comfortable retreat. Discover a variety of styles, materials, and sizes to find the ideal rug that complements your decor and enhances the functionality of your space.

Our clients envisioned a clean, contemporary kitchen designed for both functionality and entertaining. Passionate about cooking and entertaining guests, their priorities included generous work surfaces, discreet storage for small appliances, and ample space for serving ware, cookware, and dinnerware. The cabinetry was selected for both aesthetics and ease of maintenance. A minimalist, hardware-free look keeps the space visually uncluttered. Lower cabinets operate via a continuous Euro-style channel, which seamlessly integrates with the refrigerator panels. Upper and tall cabinets feature a mix of touch-latch and servo-driven mechanisms, enhancing accessibility while maintaining a sleek profile. A raised bar conceals cooktop clutter during meal prep and creates a welcoming space to serve and engage with guests. The U-shaped layout was essential to keep the work zone distinct from social areas while allowing smooth movement around the kitchen. Lighting played a central role in the design. Multiple layers of illumination, all set to a bright 5000K color temperature per the homeowners' request, include dimmable toe-kick lights and a continuous recessed light channel along the tall cabinets. These create both ambiance and high-function lighting as needed. For entertaining large groups, the kitchen features multiple ovens and a warming drawer—perfect for entertaining. On the refrigerator wall, servo-activated countertop cabinets conceal small appliances, with the countertop surface continuing inside for easy access. A built-in, barista-quality coffee machine is nestled between these cabinets, adding a touch of luxury. For a clean look free of visible outlets, the team installed touch-activated, pop-out Legrand outlets with three-sided access. The color was custom-matched to complement the veining in the quartz countertops. The tall cabinet adjacent to the double oven stores everyday dishware, conveniently located for setting the nearby dining table. At the end of the peninsula, a servo-activated double trash pullout allows easy access without interfering with the cook. A dedicated utensil pullout beside it keeps tools within reach while maintaining clear countertops.

This sophisticated basement renovation features a full-service custom bar with rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and ample seating for entertaining. A modern electric fireplace framed by stacked stone adds warmth and ambiance, while the open-concept layout connects seamlessly to a stylish game room complete with a professional-grade pool table. Accent lighting, crown molding, and layered ceiling details elevate the space, creating a refined yet inviting environment ideal for both social gatherings and quiet evenings at home.

This project showcases a thoughtfully designed modern residential backyard that balances relaxation, functionality, and visual elegance. The layout is centered around a rectangular swimming pool, framed with clean paving edges and soft landscape planting to create a resort-style outdoor experience. A dedicated poolside lounge zone features sun loungers positioned for maximum comfort and views, making the space ideal for daytime relaxation. Adjacent to the pool, a circular fire pit seating area anchors the social zone of the backyard, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for evening gatherings and outdoor entertainment. The landscape design uses a layered planting strategy, combining ornamental shrubs, flowering plants, and low-maintenance greenery to soften the hardscape while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Strategic planting along the house and perimeter enhances privacy without blocking views of the surrounding open landscape.

Refined Continuity: Bridging Classical Architecture and Modern Living This comprehensive remodel of a grand Cow Hollow residence reimagines a historically expressive envelope through a lens of contemporary livability, precision detailing, and material restraint. The design approach carefully balances the home’s classical proportions and ornamental heritage with a refined, modern sensibility—evident in the disciplined palette of warm neutrals, soft plasters, pale oak flooring, and tailored millwork. Circulation has been clarified and subtly expanded to enhance spatial flow, while openings are leveraged to capture light, garden outlooks, and distant water views. Throughout, architectural interventions are executed with a high level of craft, ensuring that new insertions—whether cabinetry, railings, or apertures—read as seamless continuations of the original structure rather than applied elements. The kitchen serves as the operational and visual anchor of the home, conceived as a sculptural yet highly functional environment. Custom rift-cut cabinetry, softened through a desaturated finish, is paired with honed stone surfaces and integrated brass hardware to create a quiet, tactile richness. A monolithic island establishes a central gathering point, while perimeter work zones are carefully layered with concealed storage, integrated appliances, and open, backlit shelving that elevates everyday objects into curated displays. The adjacent bar and entertaining areas extend this language, reinforcing a cohesive hospitality-driven program. In parallel, the primary bathroom is designed as a serene, spa-like retreat, where bookmatched stone, frameless glass enclosures, and finely detailed metalwork converge. The composition prioritizes symmetry, clarity, and light—balancing generous volumes with intimate moments through integrated lighting, custom vanities, and a restrained material hierarchy. The library and ancillary living spaces introduce a more intimate scale, anchored by bespoke built-ins that combine closed storage with illuminated display niches, creating depth and rhythm along the walls. Here, material transitions and furniture integration are handled with particular nuance, allowing the architecture to support both quiet retreat and social gathering. A continuous language of custom railings—executed in refined metal profiles—threads through the interior and extends outward, where the exterior gate and garden elements have been reinterpreted to align with the home’s renewed identity. The entry sequence is now defined by a calibrated interplay of solidity and transparency, with sculptural metalwork and landscape integration establishing a sense of arrival that is both secure and elegant. Collectively, the project reflects a holistic transformation—one that elevates performance, livability, and aesthetic clarity while preserving the inherent dignity of the original architecture.

This transitional style kitchen incorporates a load-bearing beam into the design of the island. The island is large and serves as a breakfast area, as well as housing for a dishwasher. The openness of the space allows for social gatherings and family friendliness. The dark flooring works well with the lighter walls and counter-top to create visual appeal through contrast. The hanging glass lights provide not only the functionality of lighting the area but also elevate the room by adding layers to it. They also draw attention to the center of the room and create a focal point around the island that draw attention to keep the room open and keep all inhabitants connected.

This penthouse condo in Raven Woods is home to an adventurous, nature-loving couple. With their children grown and starting families of their own, Jeremy and Cynthia (names changed) chose to downsize their livable space and “upsize” in quality and luxury. The couple hired us to help them achieve several well-defined goals: feeling immersed and connected to nature, having warm and welcoming spaces to host their family and friends, and selecting pieces that would support local makers and artisans. (If you know me, you know that nature, connection, and community are some of my most important values, personally and professionally — the perfect fit!) Using our comprehensive design process, we spent months designing, procuring, and installing their new, long-time home. The resulting spaces are breathtaking, creating a daily living experience that is full of serenity and bliss. Welcoming & Bright Home with Forest Views: Ahhh… can you imagine coming home to a space as bright and soothing as this one? To find inspiration for this home’s interiors, we needed to look no further than out the windows, where mountain views greet us to the north and the ocean beckons from the south. Paying homage to their locale, we curated a colour palette of subtle blues and grays, warm-toned woods, and natural materials, all set against a crisp, white backdrop. These help us create a seamless visual transition between the interior and exterior. Let’s start our tour in the living area… A Cozy Living Area with Warmth & Dimension: In the living area, the fireplace was the starting point for the design, as it determined the size of the space and the scale of our furnishings. To keep this area feeling cozy but not crowded, we selected this soft ottoman to serve as a table surface with a tray or as additional seating when Jeremy and Cynthia host guests. (Multi-purpose items are one of the 5 elements of The Simple Home.) Additional textures — the sofa, upholstered swivel chairs, pillows, and ceramic wall art reminiscent of sand dollars — offer further depth and dimension in this simple yet layered space. The result is a cozy living room area perfect for a relaxing read on an overcast day or a social evening by the fire. While daunting at first, this home’s small and open footprint offered a special opportunity for us to design thoughtful “zones”. To create a defined living space, we used an area rug to establish a border and situated the larger seating (the sofa) on the right. Its visual weight serves as a grounding barrier that naturally separates the living and dining areas. Overhead, the centrally located brass and glass chandelier serves as another focal point, making the entire living area feel like one unit. Last but not least… Styled with tall decorative lamps, this light oak and rattan console sits just behind the sofa, creating an additional visual barrier between the living and dining areas. We styled it with accessories that complement the overall palette, and it has the added benefit of providing storage right where Jeremy and Cynthia need it, the dining area. An Art-Infused Dining Area: The dining area is warm, woodsy, and filled with locally sourced art that Jeremy and Cynthia love. Next to the console is a custom textile piece from Vancouver artist, With Strings Attached, that mimics the scenic, mountain backdrop. The blue hues of the piece work in harmony with the warm wood dining table, cool gray upholstered chairs, and neutral stools at the kitchen bar. On the other side of the space, is Jeremy’s and Cynthia’s favourite piece, a commissioned work of art by local maker, Katie Napier. Carefully positioned in a central location and framed by two modern sconces, this piece captures the feel of gentle waters on a misty day and evokes calm. Other curated pieces include this rectangular vessel centrepiece by sculptural artist, Martha Sturdy, bearing a stunning moss arrangement by Soul Roots Moss Art. As this couple can attest, a treasured memento or piece of art can transform your space and your mood, transporting you to a relaxed and peaceful state. A Bedroom Full of Light & Texture: This beautiful bedroom is another manifestation of Jeremy and Cynthia’s favourite experiences: hiking the rainforest trails and enjoying the spray of the sea. The blue-and-green branching pattern found in the window treatments and pillows ground the space, while bright turquoise lamps — akin to sea glass — infuse the room with a touch of coastal vibrance. Similar to the living area, we added comfort through texture and warm tones, incorporating oak end tables, natural woven wall decor above the headboard, knitted ottomans at the foot of the bed, a textured duvet, and an extra plush area rug. A Loft Inspired by Flora & Fauna: For the loft space, we moved away from coastal elements and decided to ground the space in the more earthy elements of nature: flora and fauna. We selected an umber-hued sofa complemented by floral decorative pillows and walls adorned with botanical prints by Heather Johnston. This multi-purpose space serves as a reprieve for our clients to read, practice yoga, and relax. Alternatively, a Frame TV intentionally meant to blend as art allows the space to function as a secondary entertainment space or a place for their granddaughter to play and sleep over. Praise from Our Clients: This home’s small footprint pushed us to be more resourceful in our furniture sourcing and more creative in our space planning. The result is a home as livable, beautiful, and intentional as any larger home would be. Most importantly, Jeremy and Cynthia love it! “Lori listened to our love of nature and designed our condo reflecting that love. It is beautiful, serene, and welcoming. We couldn't be happier.” If you’re ready to uncover the hidden potential in your home, that is what we do best. Contact us here or download our complimentary guide below to discover more.

This Frederick-area kitchen remodel by Talon Construction Inc. is a standout example of how thoughtful design and craftsmanship can completely transform the heart of a home. Blending modern functionality with timeless finishes, the space is both visually striking and highly livable tailored to how homeowners cook, gather, and entertain. At the center of the design is a large, statement island topped with marble-inspired quartz. Its expansive surface serves as a multifunctional hub for meal prep, casual dining, and socializing. The waterfall-like veining carries seamlessly into the full-height backsplash, creating a cohesive and elevated aesthetic that feels custom and refined. The cabinetry palette strikes a perfect balance between contrast and warmth. Crisp white shaker-style upper cabinets keep the perimeter light and open, while soft gray base cabinetry and a matching island ground the space with subtle depth. Matte black hardware adds a clean, contemporary edge, complementing the overall modern farmhouse feel. Functionality is just as impressive as the visual appeal. The layout maximizes storage and efficiency with a mix of deep drawers, roll-out organizers, and integrated appliance solutions. A custom pantry provides dedicated storage with built-in shelving and drawer systems, making organization effortless and accessible. The island itself incorporates clever storage features, including pull-outs and utensil organization, ensuring everything has its place. High-end appliances are thoughtfully integrated to maintain clean sightlines, including stainless steel wall ovens and a counter-depth refrigerator. This approach enhances both usability and the open, uncluttered feel of the kitchen. Lighting plays a key role in defining the space. Layered illumination from recessed ceiling lights to decorative glass pendant fixtures over the island. This adds both function and ambiance. Under-cabinet lighting highlights the backsplash while improving task visibility, and natural light from nearby windows further enhances the bright, airy atmosphere. Warm-toned luxury vinyl plank flooring ties everything together, introducing texture and durability while softening the overall palette. The result is a kitchen that feels inviting, comfortable, and built for everyday life. Ultimately, this remodel reflects a design-build approach that prioritizes both beauty and practicality. Every detail, from the cabinetry and countertops to the lighting and storage has been carefully considered to create a space that not only looks exceptional but functions seamlessly for years to come.

This modern monochrome kitchen in the Meadows makes use of strong design and striking colour features. A central island with seating for eight is the focal point of the room, with a hard wearing Silestone worktop in Doradus colourway complementing the cream handleless high gloss cabinets.This client loves to create theatre and excitement in the kitchen and so the island features two Miele Teppanyaki hot plates, to cater for their specific cooking style. Sleek electric climbers which open at the touch of a button add a super-modern touch of movement to the kitchen. These are also illuminated from within for an exciting hi-tech feel. Lighting is a key design feature of this kitchen, with halo lighting around the cabinets and plinth lighting really setting the mood for socializing and relaxing. Fridges are built into the black high gloss lacquer cabinetry to ensure the clean lines continue throughout the space and feature panels around the gloss cabinets give another layer of visual interest and luxe appeal. Miele appliances include an oven, microwave, warming drawer and in-built Nespresso machine.

Designed for effortless entertaining, this space prioritizes abundant seating and the creation of distinct, intimate conversation zones throughout the room. Thoughtfully arranged furnishings encourage social flow and flexibility, ensuring the environment adapts seamlessly to both small gatherings and larger-scale hosting. Breezy white lounge chairs offer exceptional comfort, enhanced with tailored lumbar pillows that introduce additional support while maintaining a light, relaxed aesthetic. A tufted bench positioned by the French doors adds versatile, movable seating that can be easily incorporated during parties, reinforcing the room’s adaptability and hospitality-focused design. This multifunctional approach ensures every square foot is optimized for comfort, circulation, and guest engagement. Original drapery hardware was intentionally preserved to frame the windows, adding architectural definition and continuity to this elevation of the room. The retained detailing subtly accentuates the window proportions while balancing the updated furnishings, resulting in a layered interior that blends curated new elements with meaningful existing character.
