Stunning Designer Home That Mixes Classic & Eclectic

Take a tour of Les Ensembliers‘ traditional home in Montreal. See how H&H‘s Designers of the Year, Richard Ouellette and Maxime Vandal, paid homage to the house’s traditional bones by juxtaposing modern elements with cherished vintage pieces. In the kitchen, open shelving doesn’t take away from the natural light, while chevron floors and deep plum Shaker-style cabinets add character. Richard achieved an eclectic feeling by adorning formal furniture in quirky fabric, and displaying his and Maxime’s collection of unique sculptures, artwork and other momentos. Wait until you see the couple’s airy closet, which feels just like a boutique. Plus, Richard shares his tips for mastering the mix of old and new.

I love the huge old kitchen table.

[@ArtistProtagonist]

Those plum cabinets 😍

[@kairikaarlaid]

So wonderful to see something different and unexpected! So inspiring!

[@Marie-oy1bd]

The light fixture!!!! FORTUNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Fariyalee]

I loved how he explained the design of marriage between old and new in the beginning. Very eloquent and poetic 💖

[@j.m.7056]

Thank you, Richard for sharing your and Max's home. The old/new balance is wonderful. You have given me inspiration!

[@AnnMarieKing]

This home is airy, elegant, thoughtful and tasteful. And I could listen to Richard talk design all day!

[@goldenlabelstudio]

Easily one of my favorite homes…I absolutely love how they incorporate geometric and traditional patterns throughout the home.

[@rneustel388]

I love the kitchen-the wood tones, painted cabinets, unique room shape, etc. I completely agree with what he was saying at the end about juxtaposing antique or vintage items against contemporary items. It lend so much to the design and keeps a home from looking as if everything was produced and bought at one time. Unless, of course, that’s what makes you happy. The bedroom showed at the beginning of the video was so gorgeous. I would want that as the master bedroom. I would die for that closet/dressing room!!

[@ca1532]

Completely agree on the dialogue that is evoked when positioning modern and traditional ( antique, items that hold history). It’s like the story continues and bridges; life before with life now. I love love your home & design.

[@MusicaErika]

Your house is so unique, it has so much character and personality. You are an expert designing an eclectic space. I could live in that closet, I love it 😻

[@incialican5117]

Very chic, elegant but cozy at the same time. It's a real living house, not an architect's laboratory. Thanks for sharing.

[@JustLikeKyla]

Obsessed with this home! A true reflection of the owners personal style. Feels like a fun place to visit and discover something new each time.

[@michaelmercurio2312]

And I thought their country house was amazing. This is beyond beautiful.

[@ec8927]

I love the lack of overhead cabinets in the kitchen and that color.

[@VT-gz6ob]

I admire how you’ve embraced the authenticity of your home... I love the dialogue as you’ve mentioned, and you have an unique interpretation of a closet...

[@janeann3331]

Absolutely gorgeous! It’s got culture, sophistication and respect for the classic.

[@NIACOMBS25]

Yes, no open concept kitchen. Purple cabinets. 😍🥰❤️

[@juliancoulden1753]

The house has bags of character and it’s so refreshing to see these lucky people embrace that, and not rip everything out which makes the house beautiful. It’s a lovely house into which huge care and consideration has been poured. And it’s full off whimsy and surprise!

[@Angie_P]

The library looks so cozy and light at the same time. So many times you see dark rooms and this proves you can have a cozy space without the overbearing dark colors.

[@jacquiwmch]

The styling is impeccable and timeless. I'm stealing so many ideas

[@nayeemarashid8032]

You have the best fabric collection as far as I have seen on KZbin

[@marciamellow1211]

FABULOUSLY DESIGNED ....COMPLETELY LOVE...

[@andreakallfa2637]

Beautiful home. Beautiful fabrics, chevron floor, beautiful walls. Bravo!

[@czarmayne]

I love everything - the double living room and especially the closet. I love the anchor in the hallway.

[@effie5238]

This is a very bold & daring home! So much colour & pattern that you would assume wouldn't work but it does, so well!

[@ayanajackman9711]

So layered. Love Les Ensembliers work

[@sara125982]

Loved this home especially that closet.

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

Absolutely wonderful, love the juxtaposition of English prints and textiles.

[@shendy1331]

I love it love love it. The purple cabinet

[@Daisy.368]

My favorite designer.... I love everything about this home...

[@cb2pb]

I've never seen purple cabinets or shelves that cover the windows. It looks really nice.

[@marzenachodor4128]

That dressing room (closet sounds like a loo) made me save the film

[@annemarieegan]

Love that such acclaimed designers would do a faux finish (the fireplace). So accessible. Beautiful home!

[@knowtrace2368]

beautifully tasteful! And thank you for the inspiration on how to approach a walk-in closet - I will definitely be pondering that one.

[@krippleinacaravanxxx707]

You both have lots of money darlings! I’m happy you are using it ! Your abundance is mind blowing! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

[@annaleah7890]

I love how eclectic it is but not too all over the place. It feels lived-in and stylish but not stiff. ❤️

[@wil5396]

Beautiful home. Its classic but does not feel old.

[@mkas291]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@kimlennie8244]

A beautiful home. Loved all the new and old together, even though all was so different from each other it worked.

[@SP-ow9jl]

Not my style, but it is refreshing seeing something different.

[@dotycay-an675]

I love the walk in closet! Feels like I’m in a designer shop. 💕

[@gaylaflores5565]

I think what you do is absolutely fantastic. I wish I was closer to where you are so I could access the greatness you exude. I feel that you are a great couple and provide lots of wonderful ideas for those of us who wish we could.....

[@margaretb7737]

LOVE love love this home. Too many great things to mention, but I must say, the dressing room is genius!

[@anniebanana3698]

It's such a beautiful, no actually exquisitely designed home save for the open shelves in the kitchen. I just could not handle dealing with the dust that would inevitably accumulate on dishes that you intend to use that are sitting out in the open like that. Overall though, really loved and appreciated all the design features of this home.

[@isabellemus2316]

That kitchen!! What an inspiration!

[@finaldeljuego1996]

Wooooooow. This is absolut art. So bold and different. It is gorgeous

[@aleenagc6388]

This home looks so cozy and welcoming. Something about it that’s just says. Come on in. I like

[@edwinfndz]

6:53 That closet deserves a video on its own. Please please please!

[@danielortiz5310]

I loved this refined bohemian house, is wonderful... and I would copy a lot of ideas, if I could...

[@briana14333]

Perfect mix. This home feels like a home. It's stylish but not over designed or expected. Well done!

[@cardsaremycanvas9065]

Absolutely stunning! Completely dialed in with the house as it is and making the most of it. Also love the mix of style, one of the best homes I have seen, bravo!

[@Jessiefantayland]

I like it. It’s a great design 🥰👍

[@AfricancoolChic]

I love my 1900 year old house. They don't make high ceilings like mine anymore. And I have a gorgeous view!

[@hecho1112]

love the closet and kitchen cabinet color, very elegant

[@moodmusicofficially]

Very beautiful home! 💕❤️

[@ceciliangwhng1915]

It is good to have an open concept wardrobe room, may need to realigned the clothes hanging. Helper for home may have to learn how to upkeep the decorating of the room.

[@melitamilun3652]

This is the most beautiful hous I ever seen 😍

[@notbill08]

Wow stunning!

[@chelseaclark-martin6357]

[@marquamfurniture]

So many great ideas! Especially the bedroom layout. One slight negative re: exposed clothes closet.... You will see fading. I know from experience!

[@mirpaterska]

Love the homes of Les Ensembliers! I'd love to have them design my home!!

[@allyrt5981]

Nicely put together.

[@u.mazzeru3327]

These guys have amazing vision.

[@jamischlafer7804]

i am super sick of seeing kitchen islands-or worse peninsulas-and am so happy to see kitchen tables again.

[@almaalma3871]

There is not a piece to n this design that is not me. I should live in this house. This is exactly how I will design. Everything is very genuine. It feels like it.
