Completed West Vancouver living room with warm wood-toned slats, a pale veined fireplace surround and illuminated display shelves — Completed living room — West Vancouver renovation, 2025.

Design direction

Contemporary lines.
Natural warmth.

The visible design language is Warm Contemporary: restrained architectural lines balanced by wood-toned textures, pale surfaces and warm illumination. Vertical slats give the fireplace wall and curved feature wall a repeated rhythm, while floating shelves introduce lighter horizontal elements.

The fireplace composition is the living room’s focal point. Its pale, subtly veined surround contrasts with the darker opening and warm wood tones, creating definition without overwhelming the room.

The transformation

A clearer architectural language.

The supplied before images document an entrance with decorative cornices, arched openings, glazed doors, mirrored closet fronts and grey patterned flooring. The completed images show simpler trim, a wood-toned entrance door and floor, and a stronger visual connection toward the living room.

Lighting helps organize the new composition: linear illumination traces architectural edges, highlights the display shelves and emphasizes the floating effect of the fireplace base and powder-room vanity.
