The dignified residences at 12 Old Mill Trail in Etobicoke didn’t need much help from us to make them elegant and stately. What the corridors needed was a refresh: a spa day and a new outfit.

Carpet, wallpaper, a new coat of paint and chic new light fixtures were the key to updating the space for many years to come. The result is Georgian-Classic-Transitional, and it fits perfectly in the beautiful, leafy setting of one of Etobicoke’s most admired storybook neighbourhoods. Folio worked with the Board from start to finish to select materials and carry out the vision.

  • New corridor carpet
  • New wallpaper
  • Fresh paint throughout
  • New light fixtures, including a chandelier in the elevator lobby
  • Material selection with the Board from start to finish
  • Execution of the full design vision
  • Georgian-Classic-Transitional style that suits the building’s setting
  • Rich wood doors and panelling kept as the star of the corridor
  • New patterned carpet and wallpaper that lighten and warm the hallways
  • Chic new light fixtures, including a brass chandelier
  • Gold-framed mirror and brass details that add polish
  • Folio working side by side with the Board from start to finish

Client Testimonial

Dan, Property Manager — “Folio Interiors delivered exactly what our condominium board envisioned. Their team communicated clearly throughout the project and completed the renovation with exceptional attention to detail.”

Design Approach

The building already had beautiful bones, so the design built on them. We kept the rich wood doors and panelling and put them on a new, lighter backdrop of soft wallpaper, fresh paint and patterned carpet. New light fixtures and brass details give the corridors a classic yet transitional feel. Working closely with the Board, we picked every material to suit the building’s stately character, so the refresh looks like it was always part of the original design.

Brass Candle Chandelier

Slim brass arms with candle-style bulbs radiate from a central stem and give the entry a classic look with a lighter, more current shape.

Gilt-Framed Mirror

A long mirror in a gold frame hangs above the panelling, reflects the chandelier and wood doors and makes the hall feel deeper.

Tray Ceiling With Crown Moulding

Layered crown moulding frames a recessed ceiling and adds depth overhead, with a small downlight set into the edge.
