Kitchen design: what’s in, what’s out… and what actually lasts.

We asked Kelly to weigh in on some of the biggest kitchen design conversations right now — but as she quickly pointed out, we’re not big on designing around trends.

For us, the goal is always a kitchen that feels current without feeling dated a few years from now. So instead of simply calling each idea “in” or “out,” Kelly shares how she would approach it to make it feel more timeless, considered and suited to the home.

From cabinetry and finishes to the details shaping kitchens right now, here’s Kelly’s take.

What space should we do for our next In & Out?

IDS Vancouver 2026 - a full few days of design, connection and a look at what’s ahead…

IDS week always brings together so many of the people who make Vancouver’s design community what it is. It gives us the chance to reconnect with the incredible reps, suppliers, trades, makers and fellow designers we work alongside throughout the year, while also discovering new products, ideas and conversations shaping what’s next in interior design.

Thank you to everyone who hosted, organized and brought the industry together throughout the week, and to everyone we had the chance to connect with along the way. The relationships we’ve built within this industry are such an important part of the work we do, and we’re incredibly grateful for the people behind them.

We also loved getting the chance to support Liz Kecki of Sherwin-Williams at the Colour Forecast 2027 seminar on Saturday morning - a great way to look ahead at the colours, materials and ideas we’ll be seeing more of in the year to come.

Leaving IDS Vancouver inspired by what’s ahead, grateful for our design community, and excited to bring some of that energy back into the projects we’re working on now 🤎

What happens when you stop playing it safe with colour?

For our final take on the Sherwin-Williams 2027 Colormix® Trend Forecast: Rewild, we took a series of neutral interiors and digitally reimagined them using some of the colours that caught our attention most.

Rather than changing the design itself, we wanted to see how far colour alone could shift the feeling of a space — from a single wall in Red Barn, to Mauve Finery paired with Clove, or a more layered combination of Secret Garden, Rookwood Medium Brown and Drift of Mist.

It’s a simple exercise, but a good reminder of something we see constantly in our work: colour doesn’t have to be an afterthought. It can completely change how the architecture, millwork, furnishings and materials around it are perceived.

And with IDS Vancouver kicking off this week, it felt like the perfect way to wrap up our Rewild explorations before seeing where the design industry takes colour next.

Which transformation would you actually use in your own home — 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

Our Kerrisdale whole-home renovation is getting close to the finish line…
This home has been in the family for years, and the goal was to update it for the next generation without losing the traditional character that made it feel like home in the first place.
We carried a few details throughout the renovation to tie everything together - recurring arches, custom millwork, wall panelling, natural wood and warm, layered finishes.

A few photos from our latest site visit: the primary bathroom with its custom vanity and skylight, arched walnut millwork beside the stone fireplace, one of the new arched openings, and the panel moulding that continues throughout the home.

It’s always exciting to get to this stage and finally see all of the drawings, details and selections come together in real life.

What happens when you take a colour forecast off the paint deck and start pairing it with real materials?

We’ve been spending some time with Sherwin-Williams’ 2027 Colormix® Trend Forecast: Rewild, and this time we wanted to see how the colours would actually live alongside the materials we specify every day.

At Paradigm Kitchen, we built a series of flat lays using cabinet doors and finishes, flooring from Ploutos, tile from Julian Tile, Ann Sacks and Ames Tile, and countertop surfaces from Cambria, Caesarstone and Silestone — then layered in some of the Rewild colours that caught our attention.

Rather than looking at each paint colour in isolation, we wanted to see what happened when it sat beside warm woods, flooring, stone, dimensional tile, dark cabinetry and more unexpected colour combinations. Some palettes came together immediately; others shifted completely once the materials were introduced.

This is one of our favourite parts of the design process at Kelly Arthur Interior Design: taking colour inspiration and giving it context through material, texture and finish.

Swipe through to see where we landed — which palette would you build a room around?

Thank you Liz Kecki for sharing Rewild with us and giving us an excuse to play with colour.

Kelly Arthur Interior Design x Ploutos | Vancouver Bathroom Renovation

We’re working with Ploutos on the redesign of their bathrooms in Vancouver, and today our teams collaborated on the material and finish selections for the project.

We landed on a warm, layered palette of natural oak, terracotta and sage patterned tile, warm neutral finishes, light stone and black millwork details. Together, the materials bring warmth and character while keeping the overall design clean and contemporary.

One of our favourite parts of the interior design process is seeing the palette come together and establishing the direction for the space. We’re excited to see this bathroom renovation take shape.

Coastal design in British Columbia isn’t about nautical themes—it’s about atmospheric depth. 🌊. Working remotely from Parksville this week, I’m using the coastal scenery and our iconic Arbutus trees to demonstrate how designers translate nature into architectural color palettes using the new 2027 Colormix Forecast: Rewild. Here is how we build a refined West Coast palette using coastal shades from the collection: 🌊 The Coastal Foundation: Tones like Dutch Tile Blue (SW 0031) and Quietude (SW 6212) capture the moody, desaturated blues and sage-grays of our Pacific Northwest waters. 🍂 The Warm Coastal Accent: Reynard (SW 6348) mirrors the copper and burnt-terracotta tones of peeling Arbutus tree bark, bringing immediate, organic warmth to a space. 🌲 The Botanical Grounding: Secret Garden (SW 6181) reflects the lush Arbutus canopy, perfect for custom kitchen cabinetry or mudroom millwork. 🪨 The Architectural Baseline: Clove (SW 9605) and White Duck (SW 7010) draw from sun-bleached driftwood and beach stones, anchoring the palette so cool water tones don’t feel floating or clinical. The Designer Rule: Always pair cool ocean tones with warm, tactile materials—like wire-brushed oak, terracotta accents, natural linen, and unlacquered brass—to keep the space feeling grounded and luxurious. Which shade from this coastal palette would you specify for an ensuite or living space?

An early look at Sherwin-Williams’ 2027 Colormix® Trend Forecast: Rewild 🌿🎨

At Kelly Arthur Interior Design in Vancouver, BC, we opened the Rewild colour kit for the first time and immediately started imagining how these 2027 paint colours and colour trends could translate into interiors — from furniture and millwork to walls, architectural details and a few unexpected applications.

This is the start of a little series where we’ll take the Sherwin-Williams Rewild palette and turn it into real interior design ideas in our own way.

Which Rewild colour should we experiment with first? We’ve got a few ideas…

Thank you Liz Kecki Sherwin-Williams Sherwin-Williams Design Pros for including us 🤍

A look at where things are coming together at our Kerrisdale whole-home renovation in Vancouver.

This multigenerational home is designed around three generations of one family. Our clients and their three children are taking over the main house, while the grandparents are moving into the laneway house that our clients originally lived in before their family outgrew it.

We’ve reworked the existing footprint for their young family of five, creating spaces that make better use of the home today while being able to evolve with them over time.

Our clients love traditional interiors, texture and architectural detail, so we took inspiration from the home’s original arched front entry and carried that shape into new arched openings and custom millwork throughout.

Now that the cabinetry, millwork and tile are going in, we’re finally seeing the design come to life.

More from our Kerrisdale project soon.

Respecting West Coast Modern heritage while designing for the way our clients live. 🌿 Inside this classic Fred Hollingsworth home in West Vancouver, custom design was all about balance: honoring the home’s architectural story while delivering a personalized kitchen space for the people who live inside it. Our clients knew from the start they wanted to keep a rich, moody palette. We delivered on their absolute favorite feature—sleek, dark woodgrain cabinetry—contrasted with light quartz surfaces, modern lighting, and the original exposed brick. 📍 Location: West Vancouver, BC
