Project: Esca

Location: Kanata, ON

Designer Credits: Marina Pavlova

Project Overview:

The asymmetrical alcoves posed a challenge for the homeowners in devising an attractive and functional storage solution. Additionally, the fireplace, situated on a wall with two-story-high ceilings, presented a struggle to achieve a cohesive and harmonious finish that would seamlessly blend with the rest of the space.

Design Solution:

To address the asymmetry of the room, we took inspiration from the contemporary chandelier and incorporated it into the design scheme. For the fireplace, we opted for a curved marble-look tile finish, which added visual interest and served as a striking focal point in the space, harmonizing with the overall aesthetic.
In tackling the challenge of the asymmetrical alcoves, we implemented storage solutions that were laid out asymmetrically, complementing the unique shape of the room. Glass shelves were incorporated into the design, providing a stylish and functional display area for decor items, effectively maximizing the use of space and adding a touch of elegance to the room.

What our client said:

Marina and her team are THE best! After only 1 meeting with her, we knew that she understood our needs, ideas and concepts and made us comfortable enough that we trusted her to take on the task on our family room design project. After a while, we decided to seek Marina’s help again to help with our main bedroom and again everything was done with exceptional attention to detail and on time. We will highly recommend Marina if you are looking for a top-notch designer to make your room/house looking like a piece of art!
