The brief for this 5,000-square-foot Victorian townhouse was to transform the interior into a practical family home that is both stylish and welcoming, providing comfort for the clients as well as their two young children. The house needed to be child-friendly while also incorporating ‘grown-up’ areas for entertaining family and friends.
The house’s structure offered a wonderful canvas, with impressive ceiling heights, tall sash windows, and exquisite cornice details. Originally built between the mid-1930s and late 1940s, the home features grand rooms on the ground and first floors—ideal for our clients’ love of entertaining—as well as a basement, lower-level garden, and three floors that include a gym and all the bedrooms.
We crafted the colour palette for each room based on the desired mood and the selected artworks. It highlights the power of colour to create an ambience that is both warm and inviting, with understated and pared-back décor. It demonstrates that a home can be luxurious yet comfortable and welcoming.
“I am naturally drawn to muted, sun-bleached colours and palettes rich intexture, tone, and depth,” says Murude.
“The snug area is divided from the living room by full-height Crittall doors, creating a room within a room that allows for privacy. The space is calm and serene, making it suitable as both a home office and a retreat—one that still feels connected to the rest of the home through the same mix of materials,” adds Murude.
