Designing a Harmonious Home in Bayside, Airdrie
Creating a home that feels cohesive yet tailored to each space is both an art and a science, and our latest project in Bayside, Airdrie, is a perfect example of this balance. This home was designed with one central theme: shades of green. By weaving this serene colour throughout the house in varying tones and styles, we created a space that feels both connected and uniquely suited to each area.
The Power of a Thoughtful Color Palette
Green became the unifying thread in this project, with each shade carefully chosen to suit the purpose and mood of the space. This wasn’t about rushing decisions or chasing trends—it was about taking the time to get it just right.
The Basement: A Cozy, Luxurious Retreat
We leaned into a deep, rich green for the basement, creating a space that feels cozy and inviting while exuding understated luxury. The dark green fireplace is the focal point, paired with a striking black herringbone tile and warm wood shelving. These elements work together to create a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere—perfect for movie nights or entertaining guests.The Main Floor: Timeless Elegance
On the main floor, we softened the green to a muted sage tone, blending effortlessly with the bright and airy living room. The fireplace, with its subtle tile detailing, anchors the space while complementing the neutral furnishings and layered textures. The result is a room that feels timeless, elegant, and luxurious without feeling fussy.The Bedroom: A Whimsical Oasis
The primary bedroom takes on a more whimsical green, introduced through a floral wallpaper that adds softness and charm. The wainscoting and natural wood furniture ground the space, while the plush bedding invites relaxation. This room is a true oasis—a peaceful retreat designed to soothe and restore.
