STAGER MAKES THE MOST OF A LARGE WATERFRONT CONDO
With 2,378 square feet to work with, Ella Zetser had a unique challenge in model 1207 at P27 Lakefront Residences. While most condo buyers are trying to maximize small spaces, she wanted to get the best use out of a large one. “I was trying to show how people would live, how they could use each room,” says the president of The Last Detail Home Staging. She separated the space through design, showcasing a more feminine living area and casual family room, complete with desk, dining space and separate breakfast nook. “It’s very grand,” the stager adds. Suites at the Cityzen Development Group and Fernbrook Homes site range from 1,179 to 4,475 square feet and start at $979,000. The sales office is at 15 Queen’s Quay E., Toronto, and open Monday to Thursday from noon to 6 p.m. and weekends from noon to 5 p.m. Call 416-367-3456 or visit p27condos.com.

“I needed something to contrast with the floor, because the floor is really light,” Zetser says, which is why she opted for darker furniture pieces in the family room — including the chrome-and-leather sofa and chairs of the seating area. “I’m using the furniture to sculpt the room.”

If this coffee table looks exceptionally large, it’s because it’s actually two coffee tables pushed together. “It’s a huge room, so I needed to ground it,” Zetser says, but she didn’t want to clutter it either — which is why she liked the tables’ airy glass and chrome design.

“I like to make the bedrooms feminine,” the stager says, so she wasn’t afraid to add some sparkle here in the guest bedroom. It comes in the form of these mirrored nightstands, which reflect the light from the large window. Chrome lamps on top continue the look.

With one of the best views in the suite, Zetser didn’t want to take away from the vistas of the guest bedroom. So she kept to a neutral palette, accentuating texture instead, with a grey linen headboard featuring bronze studs, and a grey silk shag area rug below.
