Home Makeover:
Pandemic Edition
EVEN IF YOU LOVE YOUR SPACE,
there's something about an extended
(and extended, and extended...)
amount of quality time that tends
to magnify those less-than-perfect
elements. Here, a trio of interior
designers share their own pandemic
home improvements—perhaps
the inspiration we need to stop
doomscrolling and start decorating.

Design problem Chad
Falkenberg and partner
Kelly Reynolds got keys to their
condo on day one of lockdown.
Right away, they realized they
needed to make the space
warmer than their bright,
gallery-like previous home.
Design solution Making the
space warm and cozy with
colour and light. "Rather than
white and bright, we used a
combination of slightly grey
and slightly ivory for warmth
and added depth," says
Falkenberg. A 57 Stem Bocci
fixture features black mir-
rored glass when it's off, and
a warm glow when it's on.
