KO Media is excited to unveil the Fall issue of ELLE Decoration Canada, featuring punchy indoor refreshes, a growing love of collectibles, and vintage walls that bare it all.
As the weather chilled out, we brought a bit of year-round sunny glow indoors thanks to three Canadian lighting designers who gave us a light show packed with colourful table lamps, warm, diffuse textures and solid block inspiration.
Globe-trotting architect Richard Tseng shared his universal vision full of undulating wooden curves and nostalgic inspiration, while Quebec ceramic artist Pascale Girardin put her largescale sculptures (and a desire to build community) on display, in collaboration with artist and designer Maud Beauchamp.
On the style front, our editors got the low-down on the dos and don’ts within the glass-clad world of bay windows. They also explored how goods by everyone’s favourite Swedish giant, IKEA, became must-have collector’s items, learned to keep kitchens both stylish and practical with bronze accents and marbled tops, and got all wrapped up in pure wool, from impossibly soft mohair throws to alpaca blankets so stylish you’ll want to fling them over your shoulder like a scarf.
We got sneak peeks of glow-ups galore as Canadian design firms showed us an MCM classic with reborn clean lines in Vancouver and an Ontarian treasure trove of a 19th century farmhouse. And Toronto designer Ashley Botten’s modern remodel helped us kick back with tone-on-tone neutral shades, while La Shed co-founder Sébastien Parent showed us around a soul-saving makeover in Montreal.
Design-savvy mobile homes got us dreaming about a next-level kind of life on wheels, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor wood-burning fireplaces. We headed back in time for a quick throwback glimpse at Montreal’s architectural icon, Habitat 67, before letting our minds plunge through a time warp thanks to Ming-Dynasty-and-Manga-inspired sculpture by Brendan Lee Satish Tang.
The Fall issue of ELLE Decoration Canada will hit stands and Apple News+ on September 25, 2023.
