Luxury Interior Design in Gravenhurst
Where classic charm meets cozy cottage living.
Gravenhurst sits at the southern gateway of Muskoka, where lake life, forested backdrops, and timeless architecture create a setting rich in heritage and relaxation. It’s a place where design isn’t just about how a home looks, but how it feels—especially for those seeking a slower, more intentional lifestyle year-round or seasonally.
At Aspen & Ivy, we specialize in interiors that reflect the character of each home and its surrounding landscape. From cozy reading nooks to open-concept lake-facing living rooms, our work balances timeless elegance with comfort, practicality, and deep personal meaning. Every design is an invitation to gather, unwind, and live beautifully.
A warm and welcoming retreat inspired by classic charm.
Tucked into the heart of Muskoka, Jack Pine Cottage is the embodiment of traditional cottage warmth, updated with refined design. Our clients dreamed of a space that felt like home—inviting, story-rich, and filled with detail. Every element, from the hammered nickel sink that reflects soft morning light to the round kitchen window that opens up to the treetops, was chosen to heighten comfort and serenity.
This Gravenhurst project is more than a seasonal home; it’s a year-round haven. The four-season room and sitting area are connected by a double-sided fireplace, creating a central space where family can gather during long winter nights or peaceful summer mornings. The clients’ fondness for blue inspired the upholstery, accents, and styling, resulting in a home that feels both timeless and personal.
Our Design Philosophy in Lake Rosseau
We believe in timeless design grounded in comfort. Our Gravenhurst projects reflect a deep respect for classic cottage charm, while embracing modern needs for family life and relaxation. Inspired by the serene shores of Gravenhurst and the surrounding landscapes, we design with intention—blending tradition, natural materials, and warmth into every space.
