One of my favourite building types still on my dream list

What is it about cows that make you want to pull over?

Full moon on a country road. Getting out of the city for some

A kitchen backsplash that goes above and beyond can complement a focal point in the room or a feature you love…….This gorgeous slab countertop and ceiling-height backsplash add a premium aesthetic to this kitchen that is difficult not to be impressed by.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

Elegant, warm lighting fixtures cast a soft glow that enhances the rich colour palette of this moody powder room. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

This beautiful primary ensuite is calling for a serious session of aquatic meditation. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The powder room can be a hidden gem in your home - It's compact, and you can really let the drama run wild with a bold wall colour, a detailed floor tile and a touch of bling. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

One of the ways a home can feel cohesive is by creating rooms that flow together. Seamlessly and visually beautiful! ​​​​​​​​​It’s all about the flow!​​​​​​​​​.

It was a great day visiting the site last week. Construction with is well underway. .engineering.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

Nothing says "welcome home" like an entryway clad in natural light and white.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

Clever design always packs a punch. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

This frameless glass shower is a striking mix of architectural innovation and modern elegance. The sloping ceiling adds a unique and visually captivating element to the space, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere while still maintaining an open and airy feel. The use of transparent glass enclosures maximizes the effect of the angled ceiling, allowing natural light to pe*****te and dance throughout the shower area, creating a play of shadows and reflections. This design not only maximizes the available space but also transforms the shower into a tranquil oasis where one can relax and rejuvenate.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

The art of floor truss design is a fusion of engineering expertise and architectural creativity. The symmetry and precision of well-designed floor trusses contribute to both the stability and visual appeal of a building, embodying the harmonious blend of form and function. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

We recently took a visit to a site at the early stage of the construction phase. This blank canvas holds the promise of future spaces filled with memories, reflecting the vision and preferences of its future homeowners. In these early days, the home is a work in progress, but it already embodies the potential for something truly special. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

The soft lines in the backsplash of this elegant primary ensuite vanity and the captivating mix of marbles make for a stunning visual blend. The gracefully curved sconce with a natural linen shade adds a touch of sophistication while tying into the natural elements throughout. We used the Benjamin Moore paint colour, 'Marilyn's Dress' which also plays on the soft, feminine vibes in this space. It's a perfect blend of nature-inspired elements and graceful design, making every moment here a serene escape.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

Traditional and modern décor styles may seem like they could never live together. But the truth is that real design magic happens when you mix modern’s coolness and simplicity with classic lines and vintage charm! These two can complement each other perfectly when combined correctly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​//

We frequently gravitate towards minimal interior styling, a design approach that prioritizes simplicity, functionality, and the utilization of only essential elements to craft a serene, uncluttered living space. The achieved sense of tranquillity and straightforward beauty is the result of careful deliberation, with lasting impressions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​//

Indeed, navy blue is often considered the "king of classic" colours due to its timeless and versatile nature. Its rich appearance transcends trends and exudes a sense of sophistication and timeless elegance. It can be used in both traditional and modern settings with equal grace. ​​​​​​​​​The confident choice to use Hale Navy from the Benjamin Moore Collection in this room created the bold visual impact we were hoping for. ​​​​​​​​​.

The Narratif Design Studio is busier than ever with lots of exciting new projects underway. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We are looking to build our dynamic Interior Design team with a Jr. Designer who is creative, passionate and ready to jump right in. ​​​​​​​​

The team has been busy in the studio this week sourcing for a current Interior project. Pulling together a textile palette for a home is an exhilarating journey, fueled by creativity and expression. And the process of curating fabrics can be like painting a canvas, where each textile serves as a brushstroke of texture, colour, and pattern. It's going to be exciting to see how this develops. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

To complement the offset bar we showed you in our last image we selected two plush, elegant bar stools for the oversized island. This creates a cohesive and visually appealing arrangement. The intent was ultimately to enhance the overall style and functionality of the space while also being a statement piece.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

We designed a convenient bar area adjacent to a bustling family kitchen, offering a comprehensive entertainment solution. Within this space, you'll find refrigerated beverages, ample bottle storage, a prep sink, and abundant counter space, ensuring seamless service for all your guests when they arrive. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

We always have intention when selecting furnishings for an interior space. In this scenario, as you gaze down the hallway, you'll notice double arches to the right that lead to the primary bedroom, while to the left, a gracefully curved window overlooks the charming streetscape in the front. This shape only seemed a natural choice for the armoire at the top of the stairs. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

We often work closely with our clients to understand their specific tastes and preferences when it comes to decor. Each accessory piece has a story to tell, and incorporating them into the design can add a sense of history, character, and personal significance to the space. In this case, we tapped into our client's love for vintage antiques which is a wonderful way to create unique and personalized decor vignettes. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

The beauty of a custom staircase lies in its ability to seamlessly blend with the overall aesthetic and complement the surrounding interior or exterior design. From the choice of materials, such as rich hardwood, sleek metal, or elegant glass, to the intricate balustrade and handrail designs, every aspect is carefully tailored to meet the client's vision and enhance the overall ambiance. A custom staircase not only serves as a means of vertical movement but also adds character, elegance, and a sense of grandeur to any space it graces.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

In a world where complexity often reigns, the beauty in simplicity offers solace and reminds us to find joy in the most straightforward aspects of life. It is a reminder that beneath the layers of noise and chaos, there lies a profound and timeless beauty, waiting to be discovered and cherished.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

Did you know, that aside from pools, outdoor fireplaces are the second most sought-after outdoor living feature? Nothing is as comforting and relaxing as unwinding in front of a warm crackling fire as the evening turns to night. ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

A "Day at the Spa" doesn't mean you need to leave the house! Check out this fun little textural wall tile we used in this shower. ​​​​​​​​
