Location: Vancouver
Goal: To reflect the homeowners’ friendly,
energetic personalities and infuse a bold dose of color and pattern into a
brand-new, boring-beige home.
Inspiration: The clients. “As co-owner of WildPlay Elements Park, Gord takes his pleasure very seriously,”
says interior designer Kyla Bidgood. “He's a savvy business man, avid
outdoorsman, and one of those all-around genuine nice guys. And Jay is
a hard-working, mountain-biking firecracker with a love of quirky art, good
wine, and a good laugh. These people were speaking my language when they told
me they wanted their space to be vibrant and modern with a little quirk.”
Breakdown: Bidgood used her design savvy to turn a
standard beige house into a modern, personality-filled open space. Two Camerich
sofas from Only Human sit on either side of a three-piece custom-designed
walnut coffee table from Ian Erdmann of Woodshop 506. The HansWegner Teddy Bear chairs are vintage—salvaged from the client’s
childhood family cabin—but Bidgood reupholstered them with a retro-inspired
fabric.
Tips to Get the Look: Bidgood recommends keeping the larger
furniture pieces neutral and going with bolder accents. She notes that “My no-fail
recipe for mixing color and pattern is thus: a large-scale graphic on the area rug;
heavy, textured or bold-colored accent furniture; a mix of [sizes] on the pillows;
and a shot of vintage to keep it from looking too modern.”
