The dining room and the living room are done in white, the most popular colour among the in-the-know set. The immense foyer dividing the two rooms brings nice warmth to the classic ensemble. The porcelain-tile floors and the stylized ceilings add a nice finishing touch to the decor.

Happy marriage of style and comfort
By Reine Côté
What could be more pleasant than hibernating warmly in one's home while a glacial wind blows from all sides outside? A comfortable interior is often synonymous with warmth and heat, as well as taste.
For the last few years, interior decorating has branched out and welcomed diverse styles into the fold. If most tastes lie in nature, the harmony of the ensemble remains the magic ingredient for making the recipe work over many years.
Some homeowners have begun to understand that idea. Come visit places where a combination of styles reflects good taste, and makes the idea of hunkering down for the winter an appealing one indeed.
