When designer Louis Duncan-He and his husband moved into their three-storey, four-bedroom Calgary<\/a> home two years ago, one of his missions was to create a space that was \u201cas physically\u00a0serene and calming as it could be.\u201d Duncan-He, who was recently named in <\/span>House & Home\u2019s <\/span><\/i>2023 list of top Canadian designers, shares how he made that mission a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

My husband and I both have demanding jobs, so we wanted to walk into the room and melt away any stress. We took cues from natural and organic tones and referenced a lot of spa-like inspiration. In addition, due to some of the existing design\u00a0elements in the house (we have antiqued mosaic marble tile with brass detailing in the kitchen), we wanted to make sure there was flow, so there is a slight Parisian influence as well. I call it West Coast-Parisian.<\/span><\/p>\n
