Shyam and Matt helped me bring a vision of a low-maintenance garden full of perennials, shrubs,…read moresedums and grasses to life. They were fantastic to collaborate with, providing a quote and schedule, followed by design drawings of the planting layout. The sourced plants were top quality; proof of this is that they survived our heat dome in Victoria during the summer of 2021, and have continued to thrive this fall. The project involved removing a significant amount of grass in the front and back yards, bringing in topsoil and compost, designing the plant layout, installing landscaping ties, and creating meandering brick & gravel paths. I get so many compliments on the resulting gardens in my front and back yards, it's really been a great experience. I'll ask them to come back in the spring to help plan and plant a hedge, as well as a couple of more trees. Highly recommended!

When I decided that my living room needed a total makeover, I was apprehensive about implementing…read moredrastic change without professional help. I have always known what I like, but I was intimidated by the myriad of decisions facing me, and more importantly, I did not want to make any expensive mistakes. I live in Vancouver so hiring an interior decorator in Victoria seemed problematic, but I knew what a great designer Sue Pipes was and Janice, the owner of Calla Design, assured me that the extra cost would be minimal. The first thing I have to say about my experience with these 2 highly professional ladies is that we quickly established a very easy working relationship. They were immediately accessible through email and phone, and from the outset exhibited terrific enthusiasm, even though my one-room project was a relatively modest one. They suggested 3 different options for my living room and provided paint, fabric and carpet samples for each look. What was amazing is that they helped me recognize how important it was to keep an open mind and push the boundaries of my comfort zone in order to achieve something special and exciting. The result was just that - a look much bolder and more colourful than I would have ever imagined for myself - but because it was put together with professional expertise and flair, I have to say I am thrilled with the outcome! Along the way one unfortunate problem was encountered with a piece of custom-made furniture where an error in dimensions had been made by the supplier. Sue & Janice swiftly alleviated my concern, emphasizing that my satisfaction was paramount. They resolved a difficult situation in a thoroughly professional manner without involving me. Following this hiccup, Sue worked long and hard to help me in the final stages of the project - assisting me with decisions relating to artwork, and accessorizing - for that final polished result. For anyone on a hunt for a first-rate interior designer who has fresh and original ideas relating to style and a remarkable sense of colour, I recommend Sue Pipes of Calla Design without reservation!
