About Us

I am the founder and principle in my boutique firm ColeDesign Studio - an established Toronto based design firm. My look is Classic with an edge... and I strive for 'timeless appeal', 'casual elegance' and 'easy living'. I believe we should be nourished by the things we love, and find ways to - with reason- have them around us. Making these things work together as a harmonious whole can be a challenge well worth the effort. I strive to create small surprises and moments of beauty in a space with a spirit, complexity and depth. Like most, I am always looking to create the classic look with the ubiquitous timeless appeal.

Lucie G

We hired Karen when renovating our very first home in Toronto. From the moment we met her, we liked her style and her sense of colour! Since then, we’ve worked with Karen on other projects and she has without fail, always exceeded our expectations. We always enjoyed working with her and we look forward to working with her again on our next project. Her creativity and her ability to adapt to constant changes make her an ideal designer to work with. Karen designed the interior of our home in Toronto almost 12 years ago and there is not a day that goes by without me loving this house.

Comment from ColeDesign Studio:

Lucie - Thank you so much for your kind words I always enjoy working with you both and have enjoyed watching the growth of your beautiful family. The projects we have done together are among my favourites. Our working relationship is easy and the Ideas and epiphanies seem to appear like magic. Each of your projects have been uniquely different - one from the other and I have loved each of them.

Karen hears and intuits your preferences and vision. She takes your ideas to an elevated level beyond anticipation. This is the second home Karen has designed for me and it is as high functioning as it is spectacular. Her sense of style and design is beautifully detailed and customized. A unique approach to layering and whimsy is signature. Karen’s transformations of space are remarkable from her exceptionally designed kitchens, hidden storage and overall striking design surprises. The entire process working with Karen and her exquisite creativity is delightful. And most important, it feels wonderful to live in Karen’s spaces.

Weavers Art

Karen is an absolute delight to work with. She is highly recommended for her elegant and inviting spaces, using her expertise in layering textures and colours beautifully. Her professionalism and energy is felt working with her clients at Weavers Art in reviewing the best rug selections for her design projects. We are always excited to see the end results!

Karen has the unique ability to create a space that is magazine worthy! She makes a space gorgeous and livable. Incredibility talented with fabric and texture. I look forward to working with Karen on my next project.

Comment from ColeDesign Studio:

Thanks so much Lisa. Your comments are much ! appreciated. It was fun to work with you and I also hope to do it again some time soon.

dlsdoyle

I have used the services of ColeDesign Studio for almost 20 years for projects ranging from major renovations to colour consultations. Regardless of the project size, Karen always does everything necessary to ensure success. I enjoy working with her very much and recommend her highly. She always pushes the envelope a little, resulting in a finished product that I would not have arrived at on my own. Her designs are warm, welcoming and current without being too trendy.

Comment from ColeDesign Studio:

I have very much appreciated our very longstanding relationship of working together on many projects as they present themselves. ... and I look forward to the next.

bmhschamberger

I have worked with Karen Cole several times over the past 15 years, on projects of different scopes - it has always been a pleasure. She is very good at establishing a client's taste preferences and working with them, while always maintaining her originality and creativity, which are substantial, she is not afraid of challenging a client's ideas if she sees problems with them, she is flexible in terms of scheduling, forthright, and respectful of financial determinations.

I hired Karen to help with a living and sun room renovation. I liked how she allowed me to make all of the choices on materials and would only step in if I was making a bad call. She has a great sense for colour and space. I most appreciated how she finished each project down to the accent pieces. I was so happy with this project that I used her again for a kitchen/powder room renovation. Again I am very happy with the result. She was particularly good with a unique look with functionality, storage space and again, the fine tuning that provided a great finish.

We were thrilled with the results. Cole Design was professional, respectful of our needs and budget, and a pleasure to work with. We would absolutely hire this design company again for future projects!

Karen Cole is a wonderful designer. She is creative, imaginative and full of resources. Karen loves colour, texture and originality. She has a flare for the exotic and yet can bring any vision to life. Karen is friendly and professional and very easy to work with.
