Designer Garrow Kedigian buts a bold twist on neutrals in his Montreal townhouse.
Designer Garrow Kedigian's handsome Montreal weekend house is a unique L-shaped corner townhouse built in 1923.
An homage to Canada's fur-trading history, Antilocarpa carpet from Stark creates a dramatic stair runner. "It's a great pattern, contemporary but still classic," says Kedigian. Trim painted in glossy Benjamin Moore Black plays up the home's architectural details. Reproductions of artworks by Géricault are featured throughout.
In the living room, walls and moldings are painted in a warm beige, Benjamin Moore's Rattan, to create a lustrous, cocooning environment. Simple gold details add to the sense of luxury. The vintage coffee table is by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, and the custom sofa is upholstered in Rogers & Goffigon's Biarritz. The armchair on the right is covered in a Pierre Frey velvet, and the other in a Chelsea Editions fabric. Lotus floor lamp by Barbara Barry for Circa Lighting. Rug, Stark.
In the sitting room, red leather nailhead trimming from Samuel & Sons creates the look of wall paneling, and an antique Gustavian sofa is upholstered in vintage raw silk. Jalen chandelier, Arteriors. Trim painted in Benjamin Moore's Branchport Brown.
The dining room mixes modern and traditional elements, including a chrome-and-glass table from Andrew Martin paired with Louis XVI–style Marilyn chairs from Global Views. Curtains in Rogers & Goffigon's Pirouette. Rug, Stark.
A vintage buffet in the dining room holds favorite books and decorative finds, such as a table lamp Kedigian fashioned from a candlestick.
Dining room walls are captivatingly dark in Benjamin Moore's Caribbean Teal. The antique crystal sconce is a Paris flea-market find, and the side chair is upholstered in a Chelsea Editions fabric.
A butler's pantry is enlivened with a golden-hued Splendour wall-paper by Catherine Martin for Mokum and bold swaths of black paint.
Artist Rajiv Surendra embellished the writing room. Chalkboard paint by Rust-Oleum.
Kedigian transformed an antique four-poster bed with a canopy made from Kravet Couture's Cadence fabric. Pillows in fabrics by Etro, Templeton, and Garrow Kedigian for Peter Fasano. Joshua Tall tables by Jayson Home. Custom bench in Etro's Enrico. Rug, Stark.
"Blue has always been my favorite color," says Kedigian, who painted his bedroom in Benjamin Moore's Alfresco. The Daisy G mirror by Worlds Away adds a fanciful touch.
The guest bedroom, which is equipped with a pair of 18th-century beds upholstered in a Pierre Frey fabric, exudes warmth with walls painted in Benjamin Moore's Terra Mauve. Bed linens, Gluckstein Home. Lattice Bone C-Table, Pier 1 Imports.
