One more quickie before I head outdoors. Grey is such a magical colour, and I absolutely adore it in interiors, particularly when layered in multiple shades. This Oslo home I found on KK Living is divine - perfect use of grey tones throughout. A+!!!! (Photos: Yvonne Wilhelmsen)
Concrete can sometimes be cold, but in this apartment it provides the perfect neutral backdrop to dark grey, black and white. All Scandi, all the time. I really love this apartment. Interior design by Johan Israelson, styled by Tina Hellberg and photographed by Johan Sellén
I wanted to share another project by Fox Design Studio, this time it is a home located in West Vancouver. This colour palette is similar to the last with the addition of blue, which only totally fitting for a home with ocean views. Full home renovation and redecoration for an empty nester's second home. Sited on a rocky outcropping overlooking the Pacific, this large, east-coast inspired home features ocean inspired tones layered with classic luxury patterns and finishes.
If this Coquitlam townhome was set up as a model home or if it was a new sale listing, it would be snapped up in an instant. Vancouver's Fox Design Studio did an incredible job here. They used the same colour palette of grey and white with black and yellow/gold accents throughout that is cohesive and flows beautifully. The bold punch of orange in the powder room is an unexpected and welcome touch. Midcentury colors, playful furniture pieces, punchy artwork and not-so-shy wall treatments give this detail heavy space a not-so-serious vibe. Think Palm Springs, but in fall-formal wear.
