r ). a In the bathroom, wallpaper featuring a Parisian street scene forms a second feature wall and another white-on-white pattern embossed with random words like "dragon," "camouflage" and "flash" covers the ceiling. "It can seem crazy to include so much pattern, but go into any hotel room and you will find all kinds of patterns and tiles," says Calverly Megan. "It makes the room feel expensive." Guided by Wing's love of black and white, the designers chose tone-on-tone colours for the main room feature wall and bathroom ceiling. They kept things unified by varying the scale and pattern and relegating bold colour to just one wall. inDuStriaL eDge Custom weathered metal and wood shelving in the bathroom and vintage lighting used throughout injects the space with an on-trend industrial edge. Kevin jokes that his parents remain a bit confused by their choice of lighting. "My parents are both architects," says Kevin, in reference to an old metal light pulled from a movie set. "They came in our house and asked why we would put an old rusted light in our living room." The designers add that buying vintage in any form can be an inexpensive and quick way to give a place a lived-in feel. A standout for Wing is the mini home office that was created by detaching the door off a standard hall closet and adding a small desk and floating shelves. Dramatic and colourful wallpaper was then applied – even over the electrical cover – to make it a central design element in the room. Accessories like a vintage restaurant wheel used to hold mail and party invitations give the space a sense of whimsy. "We are very happy with our decision to have a small space," says Wing. "We could have found something bigger, but we wouldn't have been able to give it this personality." ■ bcliving.ca p58-63_CambieCondo.indd 63 NOVEMBER 3 | 63 13-10-23 11:51 AM
