To transform her basement, Rosalie Vaillancourt turned to Maison Nyckel with just one request: stay true to the home’s mid-century style. Beyond that, she gave them carte blanche—and the result is chock-full of personality.
Clean lines, organic shapes and bold colours set the tone for a space that feels warm, lively and just daring enough. Chosen for their character, our furniture and accessories fit right into a world where mid-century is anything but subdued.
Small space, smart design
The challenge? Making the most of a modest footprint without overwhelming the space. The large L-shaped sofa originally envisioned was swapped for a three-seater sofa bed and swivel chair. a solution proposed by Maison Nyckel to preserve the flow and let the room breathe.
Beyond the practical considerations, the project ultimately created a space that feels distinctly Rosalie. She shares the pieces she loves most and what, in her eyes, gives the room its personality.
