Henry Reynolds Design & Co. is becoming Ashleen Ashworth There are moments in a creative practice that don’t arrive as announcements, but as quiet decisions that have been forming for a while in the background - and this is one of those moments. I’ve made the decision to move forward professionally under my married name: Ashleen Ashworth. On the surface, it’s a simple change. In reality, it feels like a gentle realignment - between my name, my work, and the way my practice is

With a new season around the corner, I always find myself drawn to pieces that feel a little lighter - softer colours, natural materials, and small objects that bring a fresh energy into a space. The Spring Edit is a collection of a few things that have caught my eye lately. Some practical, some purely decorative, but all pieces that would feel right at home as we move into the brighter months ahead. Souffle Stool Starting off strong with this sweet little stool from SMALLMED

With International Women's Day approaching, I wanted to highlight a few Canadian artists whose work feels especially relevant when thinking about art in the home. Art can define a space, anchor a room, or gently shift how a space feels - and there’s something powerful about choosing work created by women navigating unique perspectives and practices. The artists below are all represented by Tacit Collective, a Toronto-based platform dedicated to supporting women and gender-div

When a home feels almost finished, but not quite - the missing piece is often found in the smallest details. Not furniture. Not paint. The hardware, fixtures, and accents that are touched every day but rarely considered. These finishing touches are often considered the jewelry of a home. Why the Small Details Matter in Interior Design It’s often the overlooked elements that disrupt an otherwise beautiful space. Updating hardware and fixtures is one of the most effective ways

Pinterest’s 2026 trends point to a shift toward more expressive, layered interiors - here’s how to style them in a way that still feels like home.

Every so often I get asked, “Who is Henry Reynolds?” And the truth is… he didn’t start as a person. He started as a feeling. So no, he is not my father, grandfather, business partner etc. I am the founder and creator at Henry Reynolds Design - you won't be speaking to Henry - but the path that led me to create this brand is deeply meaningful to me, and I'd love to share a condensed version with you. Back in 2021, I had just moved into a beautiful century home in Port Hope and

A curated collection of pieces that bring a little everyday beauty into the home. The best gifts are the ones that quietly elevate a space - the ones that feel considered, and loved long after the holidays are over. These are a few of the pieces I reach for again and again, whether I’m styling a project, sourcing for clients, or trying to bring a little more lived-in luxury into my own home. Design Books Worth Leaving Out My love language is a beautifully bound book with weig

When it comes to countertops, the options are as varied as the design styles they complement. From sleek, modern surfaces to classic, timeless materials, choosing the right countertop can feel like a high-stakes decision. After all, it’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about durability, maintenance, and how well it fits into your daily routine. Image sourced from Pinterest @TheHEdittt Before diving into the pros and cons of my top five picks, let’s set the stage: the perfect c

I would argue that there isn't a surface out there that wouldn't be elevated by the addition of a gorgeous stack of books. I don't believe in someone having "too many books", it's just not possible. Today, I'm sharing a list with some of the coffee table books I have throughout my own home and a couple on my wish list. Whether you're interested in starting your own collection, looking to purchase a gift for someone or just curious to read my list of favourites - enjoy my top

There are so many beautiful things to look forward to when it comes to the holidays. Cozying up indoors, spending more time with family and friends and having a little extra time off from the everyday grind are only a few that come to mind. No matter how many festive beverages we drink or holiday cookies we snack on, this seasons' stress is inevitable for so many! We've put together a gift guide for anyone who's stress comes from wondering what to gift this season. These are

As one of the most common choices when it comes to paint colours in a modern home, it's important to take your time when selecting a white paint. While there may never be one perfect white to please everyone, there are some things to keep in mind when making a selection to ensure you've picked the right white for your space. Consider the lighting. There are so many uncertainties when it comes to paint. One thing you'll always be able to count on is it looking different in e

Sometimes, you've just got to go for it - this stands true with both life and design. When planning the look for our foyer staircase, I knew I wanted it to be timeless, but bold. This is the first glimpse into our home and I wanted it to be a creative one! The beautifully classic black and white stripes we settled on were perfect solution. The runner we had on our stairs prior to this new one was a thick, neutral jute. It was great for a time but it lacked any sort of persona

There is no denying that an all white kitchen can be absolutely breathtaking. That being said, it's not the only option. Dark cabinetry and especially lower kitchen cabinets, are having a real moment and I'm here to embrace it 100%. Dark cabinetry will add drama and an element of interest to a space. They're also better at disguising food spills and scratches long term. Here are 3 dark cabinet colours I've been recommending to clients and loving lately; BENJAMIN MOORE Wrought
