Inspired millwork can add more than just functionality or aesthetic embellishment to a space – it can define it

Good millwork can define the look and feel of a home, either as a subtle embellishment or, as in the homes below, a defining feature that enhances the overall design. Here, woodwork and casework take centre stage, with bold, bright colours and enveloping forms, creating spaces that are both highly practical and undeniably gorgeous. Read on to explore these inspiring interior millwork ideas that elevate the atmosphere of each room.

Blue Note

Presented with an old Edwardian, architect Heather Asquith and interior designer Julie Reinhardt, owner of Julie Reinhart Interior Design, infused this hone with bright millwork ideas. Not holding back, pastels and jewel tones were used throughout, particularly in the showpiece kitchen, where bright azure cabinetry enlivens the space.

Like many North American cities, Toronto is in the midst of a housing crisis. With high living costs, limited affordable supply, and an ever-growing population, finding a place to live has become increasingly difficult if not impossible. While single-family homes and high-rise condo units abound, other housing types—like duplexes, triplexes, and low- to mid-rise apartment buildings—are few and far between. But there does seem to be some hope on the horizon as the city has begun to change its zoning bylaws to accommodate and expedite the building of these exact “missing middle” typologies.
