Design and interior architecture firm EntreQuatreMurs (EQM) has completed the contemporary interiors of a home in Quebec, Canada, that was originally built in 1959.

The house had not been renovated for several decades and featured typical enclosed rooms and small, narrow, dark hallways. The clients decided to work with EQM to create a home that would fit their young family and their lifestyle.

Let’s take a look around the home that has a warm yet neutral interior.

In the living room, a wood accent wall is highlighted above the fireplace, while shelving flanks either side of the TV wall, which has a sliding panel to hide the TV.
