Top Colours I Continue To Work With
Updated January 14, 2022
Foreword
We have a reputation when it comes to colour! Some of you might say that we try to not be boring but it is much more than that. This is because no two projects are the same for us and that is how we work with our clients. By designing a custom design palette of finishes and materials that work in harmony with each other. This is what full service interior design means to us as a design studio. We work in a range of styles and colours not just one look that we repeat with other clients. We start with the project parameters and the client needs first. By the time we get to colours and finishes we already have an understanding about how your space needs to function. Choosing colours is one of our favourite parts because we seek a long term approach recommending pairings that have a timeless quality.
This post originated in 2018 and showcases a few of our projects that were recent at the time. Yet as you can see they evoke classic pairings that have the colour “dialed” up to the right level. Basically these continue to be in our interior designer “tool belt” for colour combinations we continue to work in. Below is the rest of the original post with links to each of the projects that are referenced so you can check out how they turned out.
Top Colours for 2018
2018 is among us and so are the new paint and colour trends to watch, but here at Corey Klassen Interior Design we like to start trends, not follow them. We have been working hard to be the front runners for luxury design, and along the way have developed a style that is ever evolving but stays true to our more contemporary roots. We aren't afraid to jump into colour and texture though and that is exactly what we are known for.

Top Picks for 2018
Here are some top picks for colour trends for 2018, and lets show you how we are already incorporating them:
Pale Teal.
Our Cedar Creek bath renovation is a great example of how mixing pastels with the pattern of a geometric gives a modern feel, but without the cold shoulder associated with stark lines. Who doesn't love a good tile ombre?

Light Taupe.
The Coal Harbour Apartment is an off the charts cool space, fully customized and built-in. This apartment spares no attention to detail to create a relaxed but luxurious feel. The warm taupe cabinets match tones with the herringbone hardwood and one-of-a-kind dining table, evoking unity. Don't forget to look up at those amazing Bocci fixtures!

Millennial Pink.
We participated in IDS West this year, and we decided to break all the rules. Trying to incorporate as many patterns, textures and colours as possible, yet still have a visually appealing space is a risk worth taking. With the array of mediums going on we grounded the space with the Millennial Pink to have a cohesive effect with the neutral tone.

Navy Blue.
Last but not least a blue kitchen thats jam-packed with punch. Navy blue has been incorporated all over this design with the tiles, cabinetry and the custom upholstered bench seat fabric. Patrizia is not afraid of colour! Even with a monochromatic colour scheme there is visual interest coming from the variety of saturation and hue.

The collection of ongoing and completed projects above is just a small sample of the wide variety of work being done in our studio every day, we aren't afraid to step outside the box to push the limits of design.
Stay tuned for what we have up our sleeve, you're not going to want to miss it!
