Interior: Charming dining room with wallpaper (Studio ALC)

April 06, 2024 in Interiors

Studio ALC transformed this dining room, but kept some of the home’s original charm and features which is what the homeowner wanted. The patterned wall treatment, along with the L-shaped banquette makes the corner of the room feel like cute restaurant. The soft tones and tufted back of the banquette is spacious, perfect for a small or large group.

To finish off the room, the decor is a mix of vintage pieces, art, and old family photos of the homeowner’s relatives, adding a personal touch.

This dining room reminds me of a cozy corner table at a popular bistro in town, where you could spend hours with friends enjoying a good meal over laughs. Except this spot is in your home and you can get a table every night.

A space to dine, a place for wine. This part of the house welcomes you home and invites your guests in. Swipe to see how it flows into the rest of the main floor.

How cool is this dark, moody room. It&rsquo;s like having your very own speakeasy right at home. This new addition to the home provides a nice place to get cozy in the winter and it also opens right into the backyard, making it the perfect indoor-out
I love that @creativedesigntherapy didn&rsquo;t shy away from contrast for this bathroom. The vanity and shower tiles lean into the light and dark theme, topped off with black wall lights and hardware.

Limited space doesn&rsquo;t have to mean limited creativity and functionality. @creativedesigntherapy turned this teeny tiny space into a nautical-inspired powder room. See the details up close in the second photo 👉🏻

It&rsquo;s nice to see a condo exterior that has shape and colour. It&rsquo;s much more interesting visually and adds variety to the Toronto skyline. This is Aqualuna by @tridelcommunities. I drive by sometimes, but finally walked by to see it up clo
@creativedesigntherapy completely updated the inside of this home from top to bottom and the kitchen + dining area got some much needed love.

The two are next to each other in an open space, making it easy to move back and forth with food + drinks.
