The 6 Star Entertaining Dream
Lori Morris creates a 6-star luxury hotel entertaining area in a 14,000 sq/ft Toronto mansion that greets each guest with the essence of a glass of champagne as they enter the home.
Inspired by her clients’ experiences at exclusive properties worldwide, Lori Morris designed, built and decorated this opulent house for intimacy and high style entertaining.
Bold in its colour palette, statuesque in its appointment to details, this is a high fashion hotel inspired lobby presentation.
Custom archways with finely detailed black matte and shine moldings highlight an entrance experience like no other.
Starting with a sexy lounge anchored with a gold starburst chandelier highlighting a polished black granite wall adorned with deco inspired hand screened gold designs and a modern gas fireplace.
Luxurious black velvet striped Sasha chairs by Lori Morris are paired with a plush divan which leads you further in.
The entire room is adorned with finely carved glossy black wood moldings and paired with French inspired plaster ceiling decoration.
Strong archways with black cartouches create symmetry while showcasing a decadent gold leaf wall seating area with a built-in oversized black velvet sofa which will accommodate many inspiring nights of conversation.
In the center, a beautiful crystal tipped triple starburst gold chandelier sets the mood above an intimate seating area.
A welcoming bar experience awaits you with plush bar stools reserving your seat in the front row. Handmade cabinets featuring etched glass designs house what is surely to be stocked with the best wines & spirits on the planet.
A luxurious black marble counter anchors an intimate setting lit with warm ambience falling from golden chandeliers which highlight the gold accents throughout the room.
In the distance, a decadent piano lobby desires attention. Plush seating featuring a black velvet Benjamin bench and green velvet Delilah chairs by Lori Morris, awaits an excited ear to sip and socialize under a hand-blown glass flower chandelier which centers the entire experience.
Next to the baby grand piano, gold leaf archways highlight a wine collection display that will surely keep this room singing throughout the year.
An intimate fireside vignette featuring custom upholstered velvet Sasha chairs by Lori Morris create beautiful symmetry with the antique mirror and gold fireplace surround.
To the left, an imperial staircase with custom made iron rosette railings and plush carpet ascends towards the second level accentuated by a powerful archway adorned with a finely detailed cartouche, rosettes and antique mirrors.
A feast for the eyes and senses in every direction, there are many intimate vignettes sprinkled throughout the rooms waiting to charm society’s elite.
