Hillcrest Residence by Meghan Carter Design Studio transforms a mid-town Toronto home into a relaxed, art-filled sanctuary. Completed in 2015, this family residence balances vibrant energy with understated elegance through thoughtful interior architecture tweaks and curated finishes.
Streamlined Living Spaces
First, key areas like the kitchen and family bathroom received minor spatial adjustments to improve flow and functionality. Consequently, open sightlines and uncluttered layouts enhance everyday living. Moreover, bespoke millwork in the kitchen integrates seamlessly with new cabinetry, while updated fixtures in the bathroom introduce modern elegance without overwhelming the original structure.
Thoughtful Finishes and Eclectic Accents
Next, the project’s heart lies in its meticulously selected finishes and objects. For example, textured wallpapers and natural stone surfaces provide tactile warmth, while bespoke light fittings add sculptural interest. In addition, a carefully curated mix of vintage and contemporary furniture pieces ensures each room feels both balanced and slightly eclectic—reflecting the clients’ creative spirit.
Curated Art and Personalized Touches
At the center of Hillcrest Residence, Meghan Carter Design Studio reframed and reinstalled the clients’ art collection to harmonize with the new palette. Consequently, each artwork feels integral to the space, whether hung in a striking tower in the hallway or clustered above the living room sofa. As a result, the home becomes a gallery worthy of daily life.
Ultimately, Hillcrest Residence offers a playful yet unassuming backdrop for city living. By blending streamlined architecture, layered finishes, and personalized art curation, Meghan Carter Design Studio has created a home that is both beautiful and effortlessly welcoming.
