Natasha McKenzie Interiors & Styling

With our wedding taking place in November, we wanted the space to feel super cozy and intimate with a warm glow that made it feel like a vintage supper club. The Story's Building provided the perfect backdrop with it's historical brick walls, beamed ceilings, huge arched windows and gorgeous herringbone wood floors. Our look was achieved with oversized gold lamps, mahogany chairs, rich burgundy blooms with lots of winter greens, vintage brass and loads of candles combined with strategically place up lighting creating the most beautiful feeling space for our special day!

Katie had been living in her space for quite some time and felt that she didn't know how to make the living and dining areas work best for her while making it feel like a tranquil home. She had some beautiful inherited vintage furniture pieces that she wanted to keep and use so we turned this challenge into an opportunity and created a harmonious blend of old and new that feels fresh and modern balanced by the character and warmth of her cherished family heirlooms.

If anyone has recently read "The Little Book Of Hygge" you'll understand why I'm currently obsessed with practicing the Danish art of "Hygge" With these snowy, cold, dark days, it just seems like the logical, and sometimes the only thing to do make it through the winter. Simply put, it's about embracing the quieter times and savoring the beauty of being cozy. So I've compiled a list of a few of my favourites for ultimate coziness and to help you bring hygge into your home.

Coffee table styling is my favourite! Doesn't it make you want to clear off your table and start fresh!? All it takes is a few beautiful books, some fresh flowers and a great tray.

The devil is in the details, and there is nothing I love more than all the finishing touches.

Some things are hard to imagine and you just need a visual. My concept drawings help to put the vision into focus and see how great an idea will look (or what needs to be tweaked)

Creating a style guide is one of the very first things I do on a new project. They help us establish your taste, colour palette, textures, several key pieces and over all feeling of your space-to-be!
