Some people dress their beds with colour and pattern,
but the understated navy bedding and white walls
present an ideal opportunity to go big with art. The
large triptych reminds McKay of a wood burl. "When I
look at it close, there's so much depth and interest."
WIDE OPEn SPACES
The absence of both window cover-
ings and rugs makes the room feel
"more vast, more lofty," says McKay.
The curvilinear pendant light is an
organic addition to the clean-lined
space and draws the eye upward,
showcasing the expansiveness of
the high ceilings.
FUnCTIOnAL ART
The wine room is creatively situated
between the home's front and back
doors, affording easy access from
the living, dining and family rooms.
Originally, the homeowner wanted it
in the family room, but McKay and her
team came up with a more creative
use of space. The result is a functional
showpiece that incorporates glass so
the flow of the space is uninterrupted.
