INTERIOR DESIGN

If someone could wrap up your dream house in a box with a bow, this service would be the gift inside.

This is our most hands-on full-support design service and comes with all the bells and whistles. As an interior decorator I work with you from design strategy, through furnishings and construction, to implementation and final styling. This is the ‘HGTV’ of design services, complete with the big reveal!

Some of what's included:

Design Plan
The strategic blueprint used to improve flow, function, and aesthetics throughout the house.
Sourcing & Selection
  • Wall/ceiling colour ("gold in a can")
  • Wall coverings (wallpaper is back, and we WILL try to use it)
  • Window coverings (you'll be surprised how these will change how you live)
  • Flooring (worship the ground you walk on)
  • Lighting (layers upon layers of it)
  • Furniture (the pieces that hug you)
  • Hardware (the jewellery of the home)
  • Soft textiles (these make a house a home)
  • Decor/accessories (creating 'moments' that make you smile)
Construction & Project Coordination
Quality assurance of design, execution overview, and weekly project updates and troubleshooting.
Product Management.
Ordering and tracking shipment of products, receiving, organizing delivery, unpacking, and disposal of packing materials.
Installation
Implementation of the final design, coordinating with trusted trades and vendors, and ensuring standard of excellence.

(Renovation Only)

Have you already hired a renovation company but they want a design from you? They may be asking which type of flooring you want, if you’ve picked a paint colour, if you're getting quartz, granite, or porcelain countertops, and if ‘white subway tile’ is good enough (pssst. It is not!). Our Design Plans are the missing link! We build customized design plans that take all your Pinterest ideas and create a cohesive and unified look. We include material selections, drawings, and renderings (if requested) so you can see the overall vision and your renovation team has everything they need to bring your dream to life. #goodbyerenovationburnout

If you are a General Contractor yourself, let's talk! This is the perfect partnership for your clients

We work closely with you to nail down the details of the scope and create a design plan that is not only magazine-worthy, but realistic for your client's space and budget. After the client presentation and sign-off, we package it up for you and your trade partners to order and execute. This is where we leave the client in your capable hands with a roadmap that is clear and concise.

If you ever need us to step in again to take a look at things, we can always have another consultation or be hired as consultants hourly.

If your client's scope increases and they are looking at new furniture and decor, we can discuss pivoting into a full-scope white glove service or supporting them via our Design Blueprint service.

Ready to get started?

Having a personal designer, decorator, and project coordinator for your home design project is more than just beautifying your space, it is treating yourself to a stress-free lifestyle improvement! Regardless of which of the two services you need, we always start with a discovery call (or we can jump right into the design consultation if you have that gut feeling that this is a fit!).
