positioned in just the right spot.When interior designers decorate or stage a condo, the colours, design, style, lighting, size of rooms and location are all taken into account.
We asked some of Vancouver’s busiest interior designers to show us around a local condo or show home they staged and share their savvy design ideas.
Kendall Ansell Interiors: Condo at 1199 Seymour St., Vancouver
In the heart of downtown, this condo’s interior was inspired by the luxurious W Hotel in New York City.
“The W does a good job of bringing inviting greys into its hotel so that it looks chic,” says Ansell. “By layering warm grey textures and fabrics you create a very clas-sic look.”
Ansell also likes to introduce a dash of whimsy to the décor, such as a mirrored cube table, glass desk or a mix of industrial pieces.
Her goal for the show home was to cre-
ate a casual, yet elegant look that also refl ects West Coast topography.
When decorating a smaller space, she suggests people stay with light colours, an open concept and pieces that can be moved around easily.
Patricia Gray Interior Design: Bayshore condo in Coal Harbour, Vancouver
As you enter this Bayshore condo, light and airy whites, soft creams and browns reign supreme. The living room’s white sofas and chairs off er a soft, contemporary interior design.
“It is comfortable, minimal and every-thing was chosen to complement and not detract from the view,” says Gray.
This residence defi nitely took its cues from its stunning cityscapes, and views of Stanley Park, the ocean and the North Shore Mountains.
“Everything was designed to capitalize on the view,” adds the designer. “Where a space does not have as beautiful a view, it requires more attention by creating focal points within the space.”
Lastly, Gray says invest money in your
key furnishings. “In any living room, the sofa is the biggest anchor piece,” says Gray. “Make sure it is the best quality you can aff ord.”

“We like to include dramatic lighting to create diff erent focal points within the room,” says Dawson. “Lighting today is truly sculptural art.”
Using white paint as an overall canvas off ers a striking backdrop for furnishings and art work. Then, adding a darker earth tone or patterns and textures on one focal point wall adds drama and elegance.

Downsizers and move-up buy-ers alike have an enticing new option among the tow-
ers popping up in Burnaby’s popu-lar Brentwood neighbourhood.
From the award-winning devel-opers of downtown Vancouver’s Dolce Vita at Symphony Place, Chinatown’s Keefer Block and Squamish’s Eaglewind comes Milano, a 30-storey highrise on Alpha Avenue, just two blocks south of Lougheed Highway and the Brentwood SkyTrain station.
“Brentwood is a red-hot mar-ket, so we anticipate some savvy investors taking advantage of the market and our new land-mark building in Brentwood,” says Laura Rizzo, vice-president of marketing for Solterra Group of Companies.
With its central location and proximity to the SkyTrain and retail centres such as Brentwood Town Centre, it’s no wonder Brentwood is a hot spot. And with Brentwood mall undergo-
ing a full renovation as part of a major redevelopment plan, the neighbourhood’s fortunes look bright indeed. Also close by are Madison Centre, anchored by Save-On-Foods and Winners, and a new commercial cen-tre headlined by Whole Foods under construction at the cor-ner of Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway.
Near the centre of the action, yet tucked away on a quiet side street, is the future home of Milano. Designed by renowned GBL Architects of Vancouver, Milano will be a modern, con-temporary tower of 176 homes and nearly 150,000 square feet in total. With the tag line “High Living, High Style,” the develop-ment aims to please homebuyers who appreciate luxury fi nishes and exacting attention to detail, according to Rizzo.
“Solterra has a reputation for unique, distinct buildings with stellar interior design, luxe fi n-
ishing detail and superior con-struction quality,” Rizzo says.
Aiming to make a spectacular fi rst impression, Milano will fea-ture a grand three-storey lobby with concierge and elegant fi n-ishes and furniture, as well as a striking water feature out front with a large-scale public art piece, Rizzo says.
Plan configurations will include one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment residences,
eight townhomes and eight three-storey “work/live” homes.
“There are residences that suit every lifestyle,” Rizzo says.
Homes will feature gorgeous Italian-imported, dual-tone kitch-ens with premium appliances, elegant quartz countertops and full-height backsplashes. Spa-like bathrooms will boast European faucets and Italian cabinetry, and every home will have air condi-tioning for summer comfort. For
the ultra-discerning, Solterra’s exclusive Private Collection resi-dences on the top eight fl oors will offer upgraded fi nishes and details throughout, Rizzo says.
Building amenities will include an outdoor landscaped terrace with a barbecue and din-ing area, fi re pit, lounge areas, outdoor movie theatre, put-ting green and children’s play space. Other planned amenities include underground parking with optional electric vehicle charging stations, bicycle stor-age, car wash area, dog-washing station, fi tness gym, indoor hot tub, steam room, a guest suite and a party room.
Sales begin in mid-November, with prices starting at $298,900 for one-bedroom homes and $468,900 for two-bedroom homes. For more information or to register for VIP previewing from early November, call 604-294-8989, email [email protected] or go to www.milanoliving.ca.
