Francine designs the interiors of model condos so that they really show off the space and sell new units. &#8220;I consider myself lucky to work for Proment,&#8221; says Francine. &#8220;I like the concept of model condos with different layouts for different types of people. For example, the one I&#8217;m working on right now targets semi-retired couples with thriving social lives. In particular, they like to host their friends for afternoon wine and cheese.&#8221; According to Brenda Gewurz, vice-president of marketing at Proment, &#8220;Francine is always reinventing herself.&#8221; Francine loves taking on challenges and bringing in new and unusual ideas and pieces. For example, in the condo she&#8217;s currently designing, the TV screen transforms into a mirror when it&#8217;s not in use. In her work, Francine applies a central theme. Shapes, patterns and colours can repeat from one room to the next. She prefers to use new materials and likes playing with light and reflection in the room.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Inspired by the view\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;When I visited the condo, I immediately fell in love with the panoramic view of downtown Montreal and Nuns&#8217; Island. I wondered how I could make the view the centrepiece of the condo,&#8221; says Francine.Therefore she chose a sectional sofa with a backrest that can be lowered, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roche-bobois.com\/en-CA\/\">Roche Bobois<\/a> in downtown Montreal. The same approach was used for the dining room: the extendable table and the bench placed near the window provide for an unobstructed view.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1057\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1057\" class=\"wp-image-1057\" src=\"http:\/\/pointenord.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chambre-1403-low-res-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"chambre-1403-low-res\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pointenord.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chambre-1403-low-res-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pointenord.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chambre-1403-low-res-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pointenord.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chambre-1403-low-res-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bedroom furnished by Roche Bobois<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Maximizing the space\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;Since space in a condo is limited, I decided on a Murphy bed with a built-in desk from <a href=\"http:\/\/limuro.com\/\">Limuro<\/a>. In the master bedroom, the upholstered headboard matches the shape of the room, making it extra cosy. You feel like you&#8217;re in a cocoon,&#8221; says Francine. There&#8217;s a certain lightness to the room, too, thanks to night tables and lights that are built in to the bed and appear to float.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Incorporating art\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamelin-aube.com\/\">Hamelin Aub\u00e9<\/a>, a team of visual arts and decorative objects consultants, will help Francine choose paintings and sculptures to put the finishing touches to the decoration.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Condo interior decoration tip<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Condos should be decorated differently than houses. There needs to be a link between all the rooms, because they are all in plain sight. Since the space is more limited, a single room can be used for different purposes. &#8220;When I work on a condo, my priorities are lightness and the view. I draw inspiration from how I feel when I look outside.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <strong>A passion for design<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Francine Martineau&#8217;s work with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.proment.com\/en\/condos\/\">Proment Corporation<\/a> spans a rather long history\u201417 years, to be exact.
