Cindy McKay Interiors and kül plates: Warm Yet Minimalist Home Inspires Holiday Vibes
Dec 16, 2024
The holidays are the perfect time to incorporate a bit of warmth and sparkle into your home.
Here, Toronto-based interior designer Cindy McKay of Cindy McKay Interiors brings this concept to life in a luxe yet minimalist home that spotlights a cozy color palette, festive greenery and touches of gold, like the kül plates easy-to-install gold light switch covers seen at the base of the stairway, in the wet bar and in the powder room.
The designer specializes in creating beautiful, livable family spaces, working with color and pattern to personalize the spaces she designs, layering in vintage touches for added charm.
Decorating her home for the holidays is one of McKay’s greatest passions. With a palette of warm colors and thoughtful accents, she captures the essence of the holidays with style and simplicity creating an inviting, festive retreat!
A gallery in the dining area features a collection of personal artwork, including a holiday-themed piece, with prints and originals of different shapes and sizes juxtaposed to add interest.
The holiday table's color scheme beautifully complements the warm tones already present in the home’s design, right down to those delightful pops of purple!
Utilizing the unique architectural elements of the home, McKay turns them into the ideal canvas for her festive décor. When placed where they will have the biggest impact, natural materials like fresh greenery and floral arrangements are a great way to bring the outside inside and create a unified holiday theme.
"There's something timeless and comforting about using natural elements to decorate for the holidays - From garland to the elegant and seasonal beauty of amaryllis, these touches bring warmth and life to any space." — Cindy McKay
The classic contemporary wet bar features a modern re-imagining of Shaker-style cabinetry in a soft grey/green hue to warm up the space. Subtle gold notes in the hardware, fixtures and elegant kül plates in anodized matte gold elevate the design.
With a screwless, magnetic design, kül plates are an easy upgrade, and are available in a variety of finishes, from bold Anodized Matte Black and the softer Anodized Matte Graphite to classic Stainless Steel and crisp Glacier Frost.
The playful watercolour brushstrokes of the U.K. designer wallpaper paired with the grey bucket sink and wall mounted brass fixtures make a stunning statement in this beautifully curated powder room. A sweet little wreath ads that perfect festive touch without detracting from the clean aesthetic.
The streamlined design of kül switch and outlet plates in anodized matte gold are the perfect choice to enhance this limited space— mindful choices prove that less really can be more! Better yet, our engraving option allows you to indicate the use of each switch— modern design, personalized for you
If you’re looking to give your own home a bit of holiday flair, McKay suggests the following:
- Deck your halls, walls and living spaces with lush, seasonal garlands and florals. Mixing real and faux greenery can create an interesting, layered effect.
- Bring in natural elements and cozy textures to create a timeless and comforting vibe.
- Elegant candle sticks and napkins can add a pop of holiday color to the dinner table, while vintage tinsel and ornaments for the tree can create a wonderful feeling of nostalgia.
- A touch of gold, like kül grilles’ Anodized Matte Gold switch plate covers, offers an elegant way to warm up the space while giving off a bit of holiday glam.
- Add some warmth to your home with hues that counteract the cold of winter. kül grilles' rich Wenge Brown vent covers speak to the desire for a cozy color palette, and blend beautifully with earthy palettes and textures, including wood, leather and rattan, while mixing well with gold, silver or bronze fixtures. For a softer look, Anodized Light Bronze vent covers offer a matte bronze finish that adds depth and richness to today's texture-driven palettes, while giving tired old vent covers a fresh new look.
