Interiors: Comfort Glamour

London designer Colette van den Thillart gives Traditional Home a tour of her Toronto family home.  With Colette's clients ranging from rock stars to royalty, she has developed a style based on both comfort and glamour.

“I wanted this house to have a sense of flamboyance and grandeur,” says Colette. “But at the end of the day, it’s a casual family home, and it’s meant to be comfortable. The architecture isn’t overly formal, so I didn’t want to overly formalize the decor. It’s the whole suitability thing that Elsie de Wolfe taught us so well.”

“A room should always be a mix of interesting one-of-a-kind finds and simpler pieces,” says Colette. “The finds give you that unexpected charm and grandeur. The more practical bespoke pieces just make everything work.” ~ Traditional Home
