CELEBRATING THE COLOURS OF SPRING
A s w e s h a k e off the cobwebs o f winter a n d enter the new season, the theme we see most emerging in our Spring Vancouver Living design issue is a kaleidoscope of colour. Explore tropes of colour with top Vancouver designers Kelly Deck, founder of Kelly Deck design, and Jason Matlo, founder and creative director of Matlo Atelier. Deck explains the deep contrasts in black and white and provides tips on how to layer shades of ivory to optimize the appearance of your interior, while Matlo embraces rich reds and golds in his breakout comeback fashion line, French Kiss.
Our fabulous feature condo brings the beauty and depth of the blue ocean indoors, and we emulate the aesthetic in our Get the Look section with striking blues and florals.

West Vancouver landscape artist Cori Creed brings nature to life on the canvases of her recent exhibition, Narrative, and philanthropist and art collector Bruce Munro Wright opens the door to his Arthur Erikson designed west side home to give us a tour of his private art collection, in which renowned, recently passed Vancouver artist Gordon Smith, and the great Andy Warhol make appearances.
We also proudly bring you the innovative, NKBA award-winning kitchen and bathroom designs of Negar Rehani of Space Harmony Interiors, and Reisa Pollard of Beyond Beige. Here on our pages, we hope you find inspiration in our stories, and find the colours that look and feel right for you, because as the legendary Coco Chanel said, “the best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.”
