This beautiful lakefront cottage was designed by Sketch Design Build together with MK & Company, nestled on Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada. The homeowners opted for a white color palette for their 3,250 square foot home. This creates a light and airy atmosphere, however, Kaj Designs wanted to infuse warmth into the house by introducing natural materials such as stone and wood, along with a layering of textures to bring an additional dimension to the white decor.
The designer also wanted to integrate soft shades into the home, including tones of gray and sand, along with hints of nautical blue. This helped to bring character into this house, surrounded by nature. Continue below to see more of this beautiful home tour…
