Interior Design - How To Warm Up A Modern Home

  • Designer Shirley Meisels of MHouse brought a 75-year-old home back to life with sleek finishes, a light-filled open-concept floor plan and mid-century modern decor that wows.
    It was important to her client Alison Gordon that the house had quirky touches throughout, so Shirley added personality with unique finds. A striking piece of artwork and bench ground the front entrance, while ombré wallpaper adds drama in the dining room. A room divider with a seating nook separates the living room from the kitchen, without sacrificing light or closing off the spaces. In the living room, ample seating offers a hangout area for family and guests. Alison used quartzite countertops in the kitchen, which is a more durable alternative to marble. A walnut island and pantry provide ample storage, eliminating the need for upper cabinets. Upstairs, a diagonal black-painted statement wall is a graphic addition to the master bedroom and highlights the impressive 10-foot-ceiling.

    This is a modern home, that has a lovely flow, and is warm and inviting. I don't know why people hate the nook. When you don't have any upper cupboards in a kitchen due to numerous windows (who doesn't want natural light), you do need more storage. The nook offers extra seating, and storage both in the kitchen and the living room (win win), and is unusual and quirky like the owner. As for the butt photo, it's kind of sexy which is why it may have been placed over the bed. I would have personally placed it near my elliptical/workout area as an incentive. I loved the entire house. Yes, I would loved to have seen a before and after also but a great project. One of my favourites.

      The divider is a nice design element. It looks really useful and full of storage but the subway tile on the side of the living room looks odd

    It is simply beautiful! I would prefer a huge kitchen with an island and a huge table, rather than a separate dining room. They are rarely ever used and it's just a room setting there alone. ❤

    You two are cute together and I love these spaces. We are building onto an art deco home and whilst I am looking forward to straight walls, draft free, and having sunlight in my rooms - it kind of scares me a little. 'Quirkiness' might be just what I need, and some of décor items already meet that criteria. Thanks ladies xox

    Hello Shirley nothing speaks of contemporary and warmth more than the dining room with its glass base n brass vases! That's an unusual combination along with the wall lights.The paint in the bedroom is an inspiring design in itself.Kudos.Thanks Alison for showcasing your home.Wish you both a Merry Christmas.

    The nook doesn't do much for me. Who wants to hear clunking pots and pans and sounds of food preparation while watching TV or having conversation with guests. They should have tried to open up and connect the formal dining room with the rest of the house. The formal dining room is cut off and away from where people are - either in the kitchen or the living room.

    I love the kitchen. I would have painted the bathroom a lighter color to add space. The nook as a divider sounds great but it looks disjointed. I think that's because it's in two pieces one has white tiles and the other side is wood. That's weird and it doesn't go.
