Home is everything right now—the office, a workout zone and impromptu cocktail bar all in one. With our Great Indoors package, we’re looking for ways to elevate staying in, whether that’s lounging around in the plushest nightgown (or daygown, your call); acknowledging—then actually avoiding—winter dread; or simply making sure our surroundings reflect who we are. More than ever, our homes should make us feel safe and calm. We hope it inspires you, in ways big or small, to make your indoors a little greater, too. Here, the home decor trends to know now.
Has everyone suddenly been overtaken by an overwhelming urge to redecorate? It certainly feels that way. “For a typical Toronto lifestyle, there’s so much hustle and rushing around that we often neglect our personal spaces,” says Rachelle LeBlanc, the founder of design agency Company Company. LeBlanc, who just completed the interior of the Grape Witches natural wine shop on Dundas West, has noticed this new enthusiasm for decor now that we are all stuck inside. “I spend 90 per cent of my time at the hardware store,” says LeBlanc, “and I’ve seen so many people there for the first time, venturing into painting. I’m seeing more willingness to be a little more adventurous with home decor choices.”
