Who we work with
Is it time to rethink your interiors?
Many clients land here after weeks of scrolling and Googling “interior design Toronto,” “interior designers near me,” “home interior design ideas” or “condo interior designer.” This page is for you if any of the situations below feel familiar.
You’ve renovated or moved recently and now need residential interior design — furniture layouts, colours, lighting and window treatments — to make the spaces feel finished.
You keep searching “interior designer vs decorator,” “help with space planning” or “how to arrange furniture in open concept” and still feel unsure where to start.
You live in a condo or apartment and want a condo interior design approach that maximises storage and light without cluttering a small footprint.
You’re planning a renovation and want interior design services that include finishes, fixtures and space planning, so the build phase runs smoothly.
You value calm, well-resolved interiors but don’t have the time to coordinate trades, showrooms and ordering on your own.
Our process
From ideas and inspiration to a finished interior: how it works
Good interior design starts with understanding how you live, not just what you’ve saved on Pinterest. Our process combines space planning, materials, lighting and furnishings into one clear direction, whether we’re designing alongside a renovation or working mostly with finishes and furniture.
1
Discovery & lifestyle briefing
We begin with a conversation about how you live now and where your home feels off — storage, light, mood, circulation and flow. We review inspiration, existing pieces you’d like to keep and the rooms that need the most attention.

Space planning & concept direction
Our interior designers develop space planning options showing furniture layouts, circulation and key moves for each room. In parallel, we explore a concept direction for materials, colours and overall feel so you can see where the design is heading.

Design development & selections
Once a direction is chosen, we refine layouts and specify finishes, fixtures, lighting, furniture and soft goods as needed. For renovation projects, this includes coordination with kitchens, bathrooms and built-ins; for lighter interior design work, the focus may be more on furnishings and styling.

Drawings, specifications & budget
We prepare drawings and a specification package that may include floor plans, elevations, mood boards and item lists. We also outline a furnishings and finishes budget range, so you understand costs before ordering or construction begins.

Styling, finishing touches & handover
At the end of the project, we focus on the final layer — art, objects, textiles and small adjustments that make the home feel complete. We walk the space with you, refine details and ensure the interior reflects the original brief.

Services included
How we think through every part of your interior
Our interior design & space planning services can stand alone or work alongside a renovation. The exact mix looks different for each client, but it typically includes some or all of the elements below.
Space planning & furniture layouts
We map out how each room functions and flows, creating space plans that consider conversation areas, pathways, views and existing architecture. This is the foundation for everything else — from rug sizes to sofa depth.

Finish & materials selection
We help you choose flooring, wall colours, tile, stone, hardware and other finishes so they form a cohesive story through the home. For renovation projects, this integrates with our build team; for lighter updates, it guides your decorator or contractor.

Kitchen, bathroom & millwork design
When interior design is tied to a renovation, we refine details for kitchens, bathrooms and built-ins — from cabinet profiles and hardware to tile patterns and lighting — so each element feels considered.

Furniture, lighting & decor sourcing
We suggest furniture, lighting and decor that suit your scale, budget and style. That might include a mix of custom pieces, trade-only items and retail finds, chosen for proportion and longevity rather than short-lived trends.

Why work with us
What sets our interior design work apart in the GTA
Interior design can be overwhelming on your own — endless options, conflicting advice and the feeling that one wrong choice will throw everything off. Here’s why clients ask us to guide their interior design & space planning instead of doing it alone.
Design rooted in how you live
We start with your routines, not just a mood board. Our residential interior design work focuses on comfort, circulation and storage first, then layers in materials and objects that support how you actually use each room.

Integration with renovation & construction
Because we’re a design–build firm, our interior designers work closely with our construction team. That means the interiors we design are realistic to build, and details are coordinated instead of getting value-engineered away on site.

Calm, cohesive results
We favour interiors that feel timeless and grounded, rather than chasing every trend. The aim is a home that still feels right years from now, whether it’s a detached house, townhome, condo or apartment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Interior design & space planning questions, answered
What’s the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?
Titles are used loosely, but in general an interior designer is trained to work with space planning, built-in elements, finishes and, in some cases, technical drawings. An interior decorator typically focuses more on furniture, fabrics and styling. Our team provides interior design & space planning, and can also help with furnishings and decor.
Do you only offer interior design as part of a renovation?
No. While many of our projects combine renovation and interior design, we also take on interior design-only work — especially for clients who’ve recently moved, finished construction, or want to refresh their home without major building work.
How much do interior design services cost?
The cost depends on scope — how many rooms, how detailed the drawings and how involved we are in implementation. Early in the process, we’ll discuss your goals and outline an approach and fee structure that makes sense for your project.
Can you help with just one room, like a living room or bedroom?
In many cases, yes. We often start with high-impact spaces like living rooms, family rooms or primary bedrooms, especially when clients want to test working together before expanding to other areas.
Do you work on condo interior design?
Yes. Condo interior design is a significant part of our work. We focus on space planning, storage and materials that suit smaller footprints and multi-unit buildings, and we’re mindful of how furniture and lighting affect both function and neighbours.
What do I need to prepare before our first interior design meeting?
You don’t need a perfect brief. Photos of your home, any floor plans you have, and a few inspiration images are helpful. Most importantly, think about how you’d like your home to feel and what isn’t working today — that’s where good interior design begins.
