We reached out a very last minute, and she was kind enough to fit us into her busy schedule without hesitation. That flexibility meant so much to us, and it truly set the tone for how thoughtful and client-focused she is. When it came time to stage our home, Susan moved quickly. Her eye for design is amazing and knew exactly how to make our home look both beautiful and inviting. Her team was also impressive. They were careful and respectful throughout the process, taking great care to pack and shrink-wrap our personal items for storage so nothing was damaged. They worked quickly, efficiently and handled everything with professionalism and kindness. The house looked stunning once she was finished, and we received so many compliments from agents, and potential buyers. I'm confident that her work played a big part in how quickly and smoothly our home sold. We highly recommend Susan Bacchi and we're so grateful for her help and would absolutely work with her again in the future!

It's been on my to-do list since having my 3rd child and I have…read moreto share how life changing it has been since having Monica and her team help us sort our home and give us space back! If you have a multigenerational home, Monica can be so incredibly helpful to your parents, you and your kids. She can discuss options sensitively to aging parents and also thoughtfully include your kids in a new routine of helping the household. She reorganised our kitchen so that my young kids can help unload the dishwasher easily. They also now do their own laundry. And take ownership of their things and keeping their room tidy. Monica's team is also so kind and helpful to work with. They are respectful and completely non judgmental. I really appreciate how quickly and thoroughly they work. Monica also has amazing sense of making a home flow more easily and rearranging things to give more space and natural movement. Her design input has also been really appreciated and exactly what I needed when I was near the end of my pregnancy and needed someone to take initiative and follow through. She gave me options and storage solutions that have really improved how we organize the home. Thank you Monica and your team for helping us get ready for baby and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

She's great at listening to concerns and finding solutions, and will work with you no matter what crazy things you get up to... like our dog paw wiping station. In just 3 sessions, we tackled the kitchen, living and dining rooms, and guest rooms. It was inspiring working with her! I decluttered with excitement in between sessions, looking forward to her advice in organizing and styling the space. Our place is so much more airy, flows better, and most everything has a home. I would recommend Monica to anyone looking to upgrade the form OR function of their spaces.

Kanika is an extremely talented designer, and I can't recommend her enough!…read more We bought a house in March 2020 - signed the contract days before covid stay at home orders. My husband and I then spent two years working from home together in our front room (we call it the study now) without any rhyme or reason, just putting our desks wherever they fit, because it all happened so quickly. It was awkward and ugly, cords and monitors everywhere, and not a great look for people walking in our front door. The whole time, I was thinking, "when this is done and at least one of us goes back to the office, I want to make this room into a nice space to read and relax, and also to WFH when I have to." That's where Kanika comes in. I tried changing the place up on my own, but every choice I made seemed to make my space uglier and more awkward. It was time to hire a professional. That decision was worth every penny. In the end, my project turned out to be slightly bigger than just one room. I enlisted Kanika's help in choosing flooring, baseboards and paint for the whole house, furniture for my entire downstairs (we were still using the old living room furniture left by the previous owners), and light fixtures throughout. She was easy to work with and understood immediately what I was going for. My study is a real showstopper now - the walls are this deep blue color that looks amazing, she designed a gorgeous custom bookshelf that makes perfect use of the space, and she picked a couch that is the perfect size, just the right color, and so comfortable. And we still managed to get a desk in there for those WFH days. Literally just the other day, I was on a Zoom with someone and thought "this room behind me is so pretty, it looks like a fake background." But it's real, and in my house! And it wouldn't have happened without Kanika. The paint color she helped me pick for my bedroom is something I never would have chosen on my own, but I still regularly think about how nice it looks whenever I go in there. Same with the color of the living room couch, I'd never have found it on my own, but now that I have it, I love it. She knows her stuff. Kanika's husband Adi runs the business side of things. He managed the project, hiring contractors and keeping everything on schedule. The work was done on time, and he kept us in the loop, patiently answering any concerns or questions. And, no shenanigans with the final cost. Really, hiring Kanika Design was a great decision for us.

The thing we super appreciated was timely responses and flexibility. It was a long project but she remained help at each step. She really took the time to understand our vision and lifestyle, and transformed our space into something that feels both beautiful and practical. Her attention to detail, colour selection and ability to maximise the space exceeded our expectations. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process, and everything was delivered on time. We've received so many compliments from family and friends, and we couldn't be happier with the end result. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable interior designer.

She is also a sweetheart!!

We started our home project with nothing more than a rough idea of what things were important to…read moreus. We wanted clean lines, modern yet still warm and livable, neutral & timeless. I met Pam, and on the spot, knew she was the right person to work with. Pam asked all the right questions and listened to what we wanted in our dream home. She completely understood our vision, thought of every little detail, and didn't overlook any aspect of the project that we felt was important. The level of detail and thoroughness when it came to how the spaces were designed really showed Pam and Erwin's level of expertise. Pam and Erwin had our dreams, vision, and best interest in mind. From the initial space planning for the kitchen and master bathroom, the layout of slabs, tile and cabinetry, selection of all the finish materials, colors, fixtures and hardware, they were very professional to work with. Details matter to us, and their attention to detail is apparent in our finished home. They referred excellent vendors and suggested the best, high end and quality finishes and materials. Most importantly, Pam and Erwin's work ethics are unbeatable, and they made sure we got everything we wanted on our checklist. From start to finish, the design process went smoothly, and the meetings and discussions were fun and productive. We gave them the creative freedom and trusted their design process and vision and our kitchen and bathroom remodel designs are masterpieces. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that we asked for Pam's help to furnish our house. Every room was beautifully designed with an understated sense of elegance and in tune with the architecture and surroundings. Pam's sense of style and her vision has positively impacted our quality of life as we enjoy her work every day. We are very grateful that we were able to work with Pam and Erwin. Our house would have not been the same without their creativity and vision.

She insisted on working with her 'team'. Mind you this is a former Google employee who has no formal training in design and fewer interpersonal skills. I've had better service at the USPS than with UD. In her response below she attempts to imply UD turned me down. The reality is she forced the issue of working with her contractor. Duh, who is footing the bill here Pamela? My contractor recommended the architect who recommended UD; and you attempt to commandeer the entire process by forcing the removal of the client's contractor? Recommendation: Avoid. Highly inflexible, domineering owner.

Ashley totally nailed it! We didn't know much about Feng Shui before working with Ashley, just had…read morea sense that things were a little "off" in certain parts of our home. She was able to come in and, within an hour, pinpoint exactly what we needed to bring more flow and positive energy into key spaces in our home. One thing that we wanted her thoughts on was a big ceiling beam over our bed. Most Feng Shui books I'd read recommended hanging bamboo flutes from the beam, but I couldn't bring myself to hang little trinkets that totally went against the decor of the rest of the room. Ashley was able to recommend a simple but effective alternative that made a huge difference. After implementing some of her suggestions, the energy has completely shifted in multiple parts of our home, bringing much more light and fun energy in. Here's the thing - energy is one of those things you can't measure. You just have to trust. But if you're here and reading this, there's likely some part of you calling out that the energy in your space needs to be shifted, and there's no better person to help you with that than Ashley. I highly recommend working with her!

However, after speaking with Ashley on the phone and meeting her in person, I found her to be very professional and straightforward, even going outside the scope of what we had originally agreed for her to come out to take a look at. She gave her expert advice on the pros and cons, and also offered additional services for the future. Overall, a positive experience with Ashley and will be reaching out for future needs.

She heard my need for a more eco friendly cabinets and suggested a brand that totally met my family's needs. I fell in love with the metallic color she showed me at the showroom - metallic champagne. It was so beautiful the first time I saw that and we had to have that for our kitchen. The final touch: cabinet pulls for my kitchen cabinets. Her suggestion was superb - a perfect match. Along the way of my remodeling, Julie came out to double check with the final measurements before ordering. Last but not least, remodeling comes with surprises, of course! We had to change the orientation of our kitchen island at the last minute. Julie went with the flow and made sure our order is still ok with the new orientation. We were also able to add an additional utility cabinet to our kitchen as a separate order. Now remodeling is done, we adore our kitchen. It is so gorgeous! We love our kitchen and it's the most beautiful place in our house.

Maureen is absolutely exceptional -- we could not have found a better designer for our renovation…read more We worked with her on two bathrooms (guest and primary) as well as our primary bedroom, with all construction happening while we were away traveling, and the experience could not have been smoother. We loved partnering with Maureen on the design. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, helping us bring our vision to life while elevating it in ways we couldn't have done on our own. For every decision, whether it was shower tiles or cabinetry wood, she presented us with a thoughtfully curated set of options, saving us from hours of researching online and in-store. She also provided invaluable guidance on where to invest and where to be more cost-efficient, all without ever compromising on quality. I also cannot emphasize enough how incredible Maureen's eye for design is along with her ability to tailor her recommendations and the design to your personal style and goals. During the renovation, we were traveling internationally and so Maureen managed the overall project, sharing regular updates and photos. We're incredibly grateful we trusted Maureen with our home and are thrilled (though not surprised) that the end result was perfect and exceeded all expectations. We recommend her without hesitation and would absolutely work with her again.

It's not pure coincidence that Maureen has "Bravo" as a part of her name. This woman is a humble…read moregenius in her craft. I was immediately drawn to her work when I reviewed her portfolio. Often times, designers have the same "look" for multiple projects. Not Maureen - I could tell she chose finishes based on her client's preferences. Our late 1970s home was in dire need of new floors, interior doors, and an updated stair banister. Maureen suggested an initial walkthrough to ensure she would be a good fit. From the moment she showed up, I enjoyed being in her presence. The brief suggestions she made were in line with my ideas, and I knew I had to work with her. Maureen was mindful of our budget. She would always ask my opinion prior to sourcing design choices, even after I communicated that I had full trust in her. It was true collaboration. Maureen consistently stayed on top of timelines and would keep me updated in a timely manner. We enjoyed working with Maureen so much that we decided to add on a master bath remodel. I now get to wake up every morning in the beauty of our new home. I'm certain that this vision would not happen if it weren't for Maureen's talent. For me, having someone design your home isn't just about their skill and creativity, it also includes how they made you feel through the process. It doesn't get any better than working with someone who is honest, trustworthy, reliable, and talented.
