MY FAVOURITE DECOR SHOPS IN OTTAWA

As serene as the blue, blue ocean that is framed by its windows. As stylish as its fashion industry owners. The perfect summer retreat in the Turkish resort town of Bodrum, the Y House by Istanbul-based architectural firm Ofist.
This home designed by Fiona Parke of Johnston Parke Interiors is an absolute gem. The colour palette is so earthy and warm and the blues (helloooo velvet chesterfield!) are just gorgeous. I don't even mind that the entire living room area is carpeted - I almost didn't notice and I ALWAYS notice right away (maybe because I'm imagining what a nightmare it would be in my house of 8 cats who consistently barf on any carpet but rarely hardwood). Beautifully photographed as well - always a bonus.
Dual colour palettes of inky, moody blues contrasting with browns and creams and bright white with soft pastels define the private and public, the formal and the casual areas of this beachside house by Sydney-based interior designers Arent & Pyke. A mix of modern with mid century classics, tribal and texture, light and shade, the look is an easy elegance.
It is difficult to follow up a post like the last one, so here is a space featuring one of my latest favourite colour combinations - navy and gold. Via Caroline Cobbold Design. Speaking of blue, yesterday I tried out my sample pots of Farrow & Ball's Railings and Black Blue on my foyer wainscoting and Black Blue wins by a mile. I cannot wait to get the space going (we just had a floor refinisher guy over on Saturday - waiting for his quote *gulp!*).
NYC based J+G Design is made up of interior designers Jennifer and Georgie whose style is uptown sensibility with downtown flair. We like to describe our aesthetic as traditional design as we see it through our lens - equal parts tailored and eclectic, glamorous and relaxed, bold and subtle. It is this unique balance that we strive for in every project. This first space is making me really love blue - stunning!
