Luxury Interior Design in Downtown Collingwood
Where heritage charm meets modern lifestyle design.
Downtown Collingwood offers a unique blend of history, walkability, and small-town sophistication. With its vibrant main street, charming century homes, and proximity to Georgian Bay, this neighbourhood has become a favourite for homeowners who want the best of both worlds — heritage character and contemporary comfort.
At Aspen & Ivy, we specialize in creating interiors that bridge the old and the new. Whether you’re restoring a historic property, reconfiguring a smaller space for modern life, or designing a new home in an established neighbourhood, we bring clarity, warmth, and design expertise to every step of the process.
A fresh coastal feel with room to grow.
Though technically located on the edge of downtown, the Harbourview project represents much of what our clients love about the area — proximity to the water, natural light, and a strong sense of place.
This project began with a modest vacation home and grew into a family-friendly retreat that feels polished but personal. We transformed an underused attic into a versatile loft, expanded the main floor to improve flow, and curated a palette inspired by the homeowners’ favourite painting: a sea turtle, soft blues, and natural textures.
What makes this project resonate downtown is the way it balances function with feel. It’s proof that small footprints can still hold big impact — and that the right design makes all the difference.
Our Design Philosophy in Collingwood’s Core
Designing downtown isn’t about trends — it’s about timelessness. We focus on creating spaces that reflect both the architectural roots of the neighbourhood and the lifestyle of the people who live there.
