🌲 Hello November! 🌲

As November arrives, Thornbury is wrapped in the quiet beauty of late autumn. The air grows brisk, and the last golden leaves linger on the trees, creating a tranquil backdrop for strolls along the shores of Georgian Bay. This is a perfect time to cozy up with friends and family, savour the harvest at local orchards and wineries, and enjoy the unique charm that settles over our community as we approach winter.

In real estate, November marks a period of thoughtful decision-making. Buyers and sellers are eager to finalize their plans before the year ends, and the market remains active with new opportunities. Whether you’re considering a move, want to list your home, or simply wish to stay informed about the latest trends in our area, now is an excellent time to assess your options.

In this month’s newsletter, you’ll discover:

✅ Featured listings you won’t want to miss

✅ Tips for preparing your home for winter

✅ Community highlights & November events around Thornbury

Here’s to a cozy and rewarding November, filled with connection, opportunity, and the enduring appeal of Georgian Bay living.

Interior Design Trends Still Chic for 2026—And the Ones on Their Way Out

Minimalism is out. Colour drenching is in. Luxury should be livable. Farmhouse has fallen out of favour. The interior design trends of this year were anything but restrained, and, in many ways, it’s been the comeback year for bold design—the year of “more.” To get a fuller picture of 2025’s trends—and those we expect to carry into 2026—we polled designers across the country for their reflections on the year’s biggest design moments, and what makes a trend truly stick. Here, we’ve compiled the top contenders: the trends that captured designers’ attention, filled mood boards and floor plans, and reshaped the spaces we call home.

1. Colour Drenching

Resoundingly, colour drenching was the trend cited most by designers—some love it, some are ready to see it go, but wherever they fall, designers agree it’s made a centerstage appearance. Colour drenching is the technique of coating a space in a single hue, creating a bold, monochromatic, and often maximalist effect.

2. Moody Colour Palettes 

Moody colour palettes have also been in significant demand this year, which designers argue correlates with the overall appetite for maximalism. “We are seeing a shift into colour,” says Marianne Jones, founder and principal designer at Marianne Jones Interior Design.

3. Livable Luxury

This year, livable luxury was as buzzy as it sounds. “Clients are craving homes that feel timeless but still personal…performance fabrics that don’t look performance, natural materials that age gracefully, and lighting that feels both functional and artistic,” says Diana Wagenbach, principal and founder at Studio W Interiors.
