How to incorporate more storage | Pure Design 204 | Life+Style

Erin and Ryan are an active, eco-conscious and newly engaged couple with little time to think about decorating their living space. They moved into this open-concept condo in December of 2008 before building was complete. Though Erin likes French, frilly, feminine pieces and Ryan prefers furnishings that are sleek, modern and shiny, they rarely disagree about how to decorate and often find a compromise. They love the condo’s location, high ceilings, modern kitchen and industrial feel but they’re frustrated by the space’s lack of storage, incohesive feel, lack of colour and bad lighting. Erin and Ryan are anxious to entertain friends and family in their new home and get the rest of their possessions unpacked. They need Sam’s expertise because they have hit a roadblock. Now that the kitchen is complete, and they’ve made some adjustments to the rest of the unit, they aren’t sure how to finish the living space. They believe that Sam will make their condo into a “home”, find a pleasing way to incorporate more storage into the space, marry their 2, very different styles and give them a place they’re proud to entertain in. And they are thrilled to have a knowledgeable designer that will do it all in a way that is as earth-friendly as it can be.
