Homes & Design

Knight Varga Interiors couldn’t erase an awkward plumbing column, so they highlighted it with teal fan tile, raised the too-low vanity and finished with lush Ellie Cashman wallpaper for maximum wow in a tiny space.

Mera Studio Architects nails the resort-at-home brief with a marble-clad arch, a freestanding tub as the focal point and warm oak plus textured “kit-kat” tiles that keep the whole room from feeling cold.

Designer Peter Wilds leans into nine-foot ceilings with vertical patterns, an extra-long mirror and big, functional lighting, proving drama and practicality can share a sink.

Take your home’s style to new heights (literally).

In this Vancouver primary bath, designer Kelly Deck layers classic marble and traditional millwork with fixtures made to patina, so the room keeps getting better (and more lived-in) with time.

Instead of fighting the mirror-in-the-wrong-place problem, Mera Studio Architects treated the window like part of the vanity, kept the daylight and leaned into curves, off-centre styling and richly textured finishes.

A prep table that’s not an island, a bold blue moment, a U-shaped hosting hub, condo-friendly bulkheads, traditional materials that fake “original” and lighting that makes everything look expensive.

Andrea Jae Studio shows how natural light, dimmable LEDs and light-reflecting paint make muted pink millwork and slat details glow all day.

Instead of “squaring the rhombus,” designer Juli Hodgson let the room’s dramatic sloped ceiling lead, layering in warm white oak, a privacy-smart window and a steam shower built for actual lounging.

Getting a good night’s sleep is easy in these primary suites.
