Here, light colors reign supreme, as a light colored kitchen tile transitions to a light wooden floor. The shade of the flooring plays nicely with the wooden island frame and lower kitchen cabinetry present in this space.
Pattern Play

If you opt for a patterned kitchen tile, you will want to go for a more simple, solid wood in the adjoining space to ensure that your home doesn't appear too visually overwhelming. Painting the walls white also adds a touch of simplicity to the adjoining dining room.

Bathroom makeovers: Reimagined ensuites showcase stunning design
Top designers share reimagined spaces
“Design with you in mind.” This mantra guides interior designers Josephina Serra and Lauren Webb, who’ve partnered since 2015 as Form Collective.
Design Report: The clients’ wishes for the primary ensuite in their Whistler townhouse were crystal clear: Incorporate unique design elements to modernize and simplify the space, keep accessibility in mind and steer clear of the typical Whistler chateau vibe.
Serra and Webb used a warm, grey, Japanese stoneware mosaic tile to form a dramatic backdrop. It elongates the wall mirror framed in the same light wood as the vanity with an added layer of pendant lights. It’s a shared bathroom, so wall-mounted faucets over undermount sinks create more countertop space.
A curbless walk-in shower provides easy access in case of potential sports injuries—a thoughtful touch, given the recreation aspect of this vacation home.

Western Living Feature: A Modern Okanagan Farmhouse by Form Collective
Form Collective has been featured on Western Living for their work on an Okanagan retirement home.
Home Tour: A Modern Okanagan Farmhouse Designed for the Dog
The team at Form Collective combined two aesthetics to create a long-lasting relaxing oasis for the whole family (pets included).
What screams retirement more than moving from the hustle and bustle of Vancouver to 80 acres of land in the northern Okanagan… with impeccable views of mountain landscapes and natural light sunbathing each room? Thanks to Josephina Serra and Lauren Webb, principals at Form Collective,their clients can now check retirement dream home off the list.
“There’s two of them, and their dog—we wanted to build them a home that would last many many years,” explains Serra. But since the homeowners had slightly different styles, Serra and Webb had to combine the two to make it suitable for both. Elevated modern farmhouse was the perfect compromise.
“The owners were urban dwellers, now moving to 80 acres of land, so they wanted it more on the modern side,” says Webb. With floor-to-ceiling windows in the great room, an outdoor living space perfect for entertaining and hot tub access from the ensuite, they’ve got modern covered.
The farmhouse aesthetic comes through the furniture, including an antique dresser brought from the couple’s home in Vancouver. “We determined the depth of the entryway based on that piece, since we knew they wanted it,” says Webb. The designers turned it into a focal point by “painting the wall behind it black so it really stood out.”
