Living Well in a Small Space

Living well in a small space is an art as well as a science. Rosamund Kavander designer and owner of Room Works has got it right. During the past year, she has renovated her 1970′s 1500 sq ft town home into a luxurious retreat. All the levels of this home have been fully renovated; however, the greatest change took place on the main-floor by eliminating all the walls and creating one large room. However, with the continuity of materials and colour palate the space works as three unique rooms: kitchen, dining room, and living room.

The kitchen boasts classic with cupboards, state of the art appliances, and white marble counters. The wood work carries into the dining room with built-in display shelves, and a coffered ceiling delineates the space. Your eye then travels into the living room where you can warm up by the fireplace. Here the designer visually creates the space using a bold hit of chocolate brown. The whole space is tied together with rich warm hardwoods that ground the space.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The first bedroom functions well as a comfortable guest room with a large built-in closet. The master bedroom with a fireplace on one wall, and wall to wall custom cabinets on the other, along with a spa inspired semi-ensuite will make anyone green with envy. The same attention to detail has been use to create the fantastic lower level. With a third bedroom, full bathroom, and family room with another fireplace, every inch has been created to exacting standards.

This designer has ensured that there is no lack of storage/cupboard space, which is everyone’s concern about living in a small space. So kudos to this smart designer! Rosamund has created an elegant small home with style and substance.
