How A Luxe Living Room Delivers All the Feels

Reigo & Bauer combine playfully tactile surfaces in a bold Forest Hill sanctum

Touchy-feely treatments abound in this open-concept family living room, styled by color and texture specialists Reigo & Bauer. The tufted B&B Italia sofa from Kiosk is a focal point in yellow, while neutral elements prove just as much of a draw thanks to intriguing surfaces. A grey rug by Object Carpet (available through Are & Be) resembles a rocky river bed, while TAKTL white concrete fireplace panels mimic the look of crinkled paper.

The buttery-leather sofa visually separates the hard, gleaming kitchen from the living space. Low-slung, it sets a casual “den” tone while its cushy, wide back provides extra seating for chatting with the chef.

Designed and built by its homeowner, the residence uses more than 30 slabs of Italian marble

Walk through the front door, and it’s the first thing you feel: thick slabs of Calacatta Vagli wrapping the kitchen walls and island; a block of travertine floating above a dark Pietra Grey hearth in the family room; and deep, aubergine-veined Calacatta Viola unfurling dramatically across the ensuite bathroom. Throughout this new build in Toronto’s Sherwood Park neighbourhood—appropriately dubbed Vaglihome—stone defines every moment.
