Whether you need design advice from someone who will tell it to you straight or a full-blown custom home with furnishings —or something in between—we’ve got you covered.
You may not be ready for full-service interior design, and that’s a-okay! Maybe you want an expert’s opinion on pieces, placement, or interior ideas you have for your home. During this two-hour consultation we'll go over your design priorities, and then discuss and build a plan with you for how to bring those priorities to life. We answer all of your pressing design questions and provide direction for your home that you can implement on your own!
Need a longer, hands on approach? We offer a "DESIGNER FOR A DAY" service too! This is a focused 5 hours of Laura's time where you can utilize Laura's design expertise however you like! Whether that be rearranging your living room, creating a design concept for your bathroom, sourcing items online, hanging artwork, styling shelves or selecting paint colours. We call this the “Designer BFF for the Day,” and that’s exactly what it is.
For Renovations & New Builds
From start to finish, we design your dream space and bring it to life. Working carefully alongside vendors and trades, we ensure the design is polished-to-perfection. From hard finishes to soft furnishings, no detail is left forgotten. To conclude the process, each space is creatively styled to suit your vision.
All full-service design services require a 1-2 hour in-home paid consultation. Our consultations allow us to gather information about our clients lives, the space(s) they are needing help with and to understand their goals, needs and wants. As we inspect the interior, we’ll take notes, measurements and photos. We then prepare a proposal that outlines your scope of work.
Once the design fee is agreed upon, we will conduct a trade day with or contractors to gather quotes for your project to put together the total budget for review.

Full-Service Decorating is a great option for clients who have an already completed home but need decorating to help bring their space to its full potential. We begin with a 2-hour in-home consultation. This helps us to get to know the scope of work and to also understand how you use and envision your home's potential. Similar to our design stage, we then prepare a proposal that outlines your scope of work. Once the contract is signed, then the sourcing and design phase beings!
We work with you to help choose all furniture and décor to make your vision a reality through a design that reflects your lifestyle. With close attention to details, we merge your taste with our expertise to create your dream home.
We take care of ordering, tracking and delivery/install. When all the items are ready then this is when we plan a day or multiple to execute your home with our team and installers.
We start with a 30-minute video call to get to know each other, give you a quick look at how we work, and go over project scope, budget, and desired timelines. Then, we'll meet you in-person at your home for an initial visit. You’ll show us all the ideas and spaces you want to transform, and we’ll go over any additional questions & details. After the initial visit, we’ll send over a proposal with all the details and the estimated cost of the project.
Here comes the fun part! The process starts when we send you homework (aka, best homework ever: a design questionnaire and Pinterest board), followed by measurements and reviewing your homework. Then we have a design concept meeting to go over aesthetic direction, colour palette, and floor plan options before getting into materials and furniture selections.
Next up, ordering and tracking all of the goods. We place, monitor and track all orders and update you every other week so you’ll know exactly where your furniture and materials are at any given point in the design process.
We work closely with the general contractor and trades people to ensure all aspects of our design are installed and completed properly.
The big reveal moment! We schedule installation days to have the furniture delivered and install all styling elements to complete your final design. All that’s needed now is a big cheers to your beautiful, renewed home. (Don’t worry, we’ll bring the bubbly.)
