Although found in the great city of Toronto, Canada, it rest above the store of the same name, which is comprised of works and products from creatives hailing from Scandinavia and Japan. With this in mind, it comes as no surprise that the Mjolk House is as contemporary and chic as it is. Filled with [light wood accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinesen-apartment), [white walls and modern furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silver-house), the interior of the Mjolk House contrasts quite starkly with the [Victorian exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/private-townhouse) of the building. Yet as Design Milk points out, "The designers were meticulous in balancing even the slightest details between their commitment to preserve a historic retail frontage, and their task to recreate a contemporary program for the space." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Light Wood Accents:** Exploring opportunities to incorporate light wood accents into interior design for a modern and chic aesthetic. - **Contrasting Interiors:** Finding ways to create visually striking interior designs that contrast with the architectural style of the building. - **Balancing Historic and Contemporary:** Identifying methods to carefully balance the preservation of historic elements with the integration of modern features in architectural projects. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Creating innovative designs that utilize light wood accents to achieve a modern and chic aesthetic. - **Architecture:** Exploring ways to design interiors that provide a striking contrast to the architectural style of the building. - **Heritage Preservation:** Developing techniques and strategies to preserve historic elements while incorporating contemporary design elements in architectural projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Philosophy Toronto Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-hill-residence.md) - [Wood Cladded Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grafton-house.md) - [Modern A-Frame Toronto Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-caroline.md) - [Ultra-Slick Modern Apartment Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-apartment-interior.md) - [Mid-Century Style Montreal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residence-ave-duchastel.md) - [Compact Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-sheltered-space.md) - [Calming Third-Floor Italian Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milan-apartment.md) - [Peaceful Wooden-Designed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiroo-residence.md) - [Floating Level Aesthetic Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-house-1.md)
