Designer Meredith Heron's Toronto is a mix of color, pattern and texture. The calm, neutral walls and floors balance out the wilder fabric, furniture and rugs, so while the house is full of pattern and movement, it still manages to be comfortable and cozy.

More designer touches: The bedroom is colorful and full of bold accent pieces but thanks to the deep blue wall color, the overall impression is soothing. The assorted picture frames in the dining room add interest through contrasting shapes and tones to a large wall expanse - it's a look that could be reproduced on a budget using secondhand or IKEA frames.
