Luxury Interior Design in Batteau, ON
Where rural simplicity meets elevated living.
Just outside Collingwood, Batteau is a quiet corner of the countryside where homeowners come to find space, peace, and connection. It’s a place where weekends feel longer, and where homes are meant to reflect both practicality and personal style. Whether you’re settling in full-time or building a retreat, your home here should feel as considered as the land around it.
At Aspen & Ivy, we create interiors that reflect the way people really live—layered, functional, and timeless. We take the time to understand how you want your home to feel, then design every room to support that vision. In places like Batteau, that often means balancing softness with structure, warmth with light, and function with ease.
A light-filled transformation rooted in family and flow.
While located in Collingwood, the Harbourview project reflects the same values we bring to Batteau—creating homes that feel open, effortless, and full of personal meaning.
The clients came to us looking to update their modest seasonal property into a space they could enjoy more fully year-round. We started by converting an unused attic into a multi-purpose loft that includes a games room, a home office, and extra sleeping space. We opened up the main floor to increase natural light and better connect shared spaces.
The design was inspired by a single piece of art: a sea turtle painting the family loved. From that, we built a palette of soft blues, layered textures, and coastal-inspired details. Every room now feels calm, fresh, and ready to host family memories for years to come.
Our Design Philosophy in Batteau & Rural Collingwood
Designing for Batteau means designing for a lifestyle—one that values both quiet moments and shared gatherings, simplicity and quality, space and comfort.
Our approach is shaped by years of working with homeowners across rural Southern Ontario, and centers on:
-
Open layouts that invite gathering but allow for retreat
-
Natural materials that feel timeless and durable
-
Designs that shift seamlessly between seasonal use and daily life
-
A thoughtful blend of custom detail and practical solutions
No matter the project size, we bring a sense of clarity and calm to the design process—so your home feels every bit as personal as it does polished.
