For over three decades, Lori Morris has been carving her niche in the interior design industry, pushing the limits of conventional design to create unique spaces that ooze opulence. With a forward-thinking philosophy and unmatched creative flair, this award-winning designer conceives one-of-a-kind spaces that resemble sophisticated works of art. Her latest project, a lavish apartment towering above Toronto’s skyline, perfectly exemplifies this visionary approach.
Titled Opulence in the Clouds, the residence welcomes in true Lori Morris style with a grand entrance that sets the stage for serious design posturing, combining classic architectural details with contemporary polish. A graphic black and white marble floor, amber hues, high gloss shine, and metallic accents elevate the luxurious integrity of this space, building anticipation for the magical LMD (Lori Morris Design) encounter that awaits.
Moving through, the bespoke LMD living room epitomises elegance and sophistication, making it the ideal venue for entertaining and stimulating conversation. The sleek and chic room is dominated by a black and cream palette, creating a formal yet inviting ambience filled with a variety of contrasting accents and textures.
At the heart of the room, custom-built banquettes covered in sumptuous black velvet, paired with matching upholstered wall panels, flank a marble-clad fireplace accented with brass details. This central feature provides a dramatic focal point, grounding the space and highlighting a pair of classic cream velvet tufted chairs. These are complemented by a curved, contemporary sofa surrounding a brushed metal and mirror-top coffee table, creating a space that is both striking and functional. A large glass and brass light fixture further accentuates the room’s grandeur, shimmering with optic glass and brass elements for a truly spectacular effect.
Every piece in the coveted Scotch room reflects the custom LMD luxe intensity, from the Art Deco-inspired cabinetry to the plush furniture and wall treatments. High gloss lacquer and brass cabinetry with mirror backing illuminate the space with a golden glow, offering a dramatic facade to showcase vintage treasures and cherished collectables.
Signature pieces from the Lori Morris furniture collection, such as the statuesque ‘Lion’ armchairs with matching ottomans draped in luxurious black velvet with gold piping and brass lion head accents, give new meaning to sexy, elevated luxury. This attention to detail extends to every corner of the room, ensuring a cohesive and opulent aesthetic.
The elegance continues in the kitchen, where classic cream and black cabinetry is reimagined with chevron and brass design features, adding unique personality and glamorous appeal. An impressive marble-clad island stands as functional eye candy, while graceful brass chairs covered in mossy green leather add a punch of colour. Above, a rhythmic trio of light fixtures enhances the cosmopolitan feel of this sublime space.
Sightlines from the living room lead to the dining area: an effervescent dream piled high in the sky with layers of crystal sparkle and modern architectural glam. A prized Baccarat chandelier hangs gallantly above a Lucite dining table, surrounded by custom LMD ivory and mocha-mottled velvet-covered chairs. A quartet of custom LMD velvet and brass ottomans envelop a classic cream and black marble-top table, offering a sensational pause for some serendipitous drama.
Not just a luxurious cocoon for living, Opulence in the Clouds also welcomes the concept of working from home in style. The office’s exquisite design ensures that every business meeting is conducted in a refined environment, high above the city’s hustle and bustle. When the day draws to a close, the palatial bedroom beckons with open arms, carefully curated to ease the mind while maintaining high society thoughts.
