How we work

  1. Design consultation

    A paid one-on-one conversation ($250 plus HST) about your vision, your space, your budget and how you actually live in your home. If you hire us, the full amount is credited to your first invoice. If you don't, there is no pressure to continue. If we're a fit, you get a fixed design fee in writing.

  2. Design and planning

    You receive full plans, curated material selections and a clear project timeline. Every decision is shown visually before anything is ordered. The design phase takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the project.

  3. Execution and handover

    We guide every step, from contractor coordination to the final finishing touches, so the result is what you pictured, and often better.

What clients say

“His passion was clear in every design element, and I felt like he was genuinely part of my team the whole way through. Giuseppe even went the extra mile to help me access trade discounts when possible and worked tirelessly to find the perfect samples until we landed on the ones that felt just right.”

Former client

“He suggested ideas we didn't think of and put together helpful design proposals based on a thorough understanding of our lifestyle, pieces of furniture we already had, and our style preferences. He was friendly, attentive and responsive throughout the process, always ensuring that we were satisfied. Highly recommend.”

Former client

“Giuseppe is great, very knowledgeable, very patient, very good follow through and easy to work with.”

Former client

“Extremely happy with the service, functionality and aesthetics.”

Cabinetry designed with the room

Custom millwork is where most renovations are won or lost. We design it as part of your project, with a Canadian-made range for short lead times and a fully custom range when the project calls for more.
