History Revisited

-

Velji is looking to this traditiona­l- eclectic living room, designed by Kyla Bidgood of Bidgood

and Co. in Victoria, as an inspiratio­n for future designs.

“If you’re lucky enough to live in a character house or building, addressing the beautiful mouldings and architectu­ral details is key! Kyla and her team have chosen to modernize this heritage house by painting the mouldings, walls and ceiling out in white. This allows the shadows to do their job of showcasing the detailing in an elegant and subtle way. Another way they’ve incorporat­ed modern elements into this home is through the artwork. The painting above the fireplace (by Vancouver artist Lauren Mycroft) is an unusual and stunning addition to a traditiona­l room.”
