From the start, Caroline reviewed numerous options with me to get a solid perspective of what my style and aesthetic preferences were. This created a solid foundation upon which to begin imagining my new space while creating a proper budget and timelines to completion. Throughout the process, Caroline's attention to detail was unmatched. She curated a beautiful selection of new furniture pieces, artwork and rugs that completely and totally changed the the look of my home from top to bottom. Caroline really took time to understand my vision and bring it to life. When I simply didn't know what direction to go she provided timeless, elegant and refined options to chose from. I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome and would not hesitate to retain Caroline Ryan at Curated Home for all of your interior design needs.

Overpriced, sloppy, extremely unresponsive and slow. We were unimpressed with the service of this…read morecompany, to say the least. We were initially very impressed with this company's seeming professionalism and experience, particularly that of its principal, Rob Capar. But their actual service did not match their initially slick presentation. Maison D'etre strung us along for months only to repeatedly present us with proposals for renovations that were far above the budget that we had provided (in fact almost $300,000 more!), all the while charging us by the hour to repeatedly redesign the plans. Weeks would go by with nothing happening and no updates or tangible progress on our project. They made errors in the materials that they ordered (e.g. ordering and installing frosted bathroom windows for non-bathroom windows, installing a window where our plans showed no window at all) and then fought with us to avoid taking responsibility for those mistakes. The windows were also a random assortment of horizontally sliding, vertically sliding and casement windows. The casement windows cannot be easily fitted with screens that don't look terrible, so we now have bugs continually flying into our house. The installation of the windows was also extremely sloppy (the windows had to be reinstalled at our own expense by our new general contractor, who did a much cleaner and professional job). Our new general contractor indicated to us that the price that we were charged for the windows ($22,500) was far too high. During demolition and asbestos removal they knocked down a giant part of our backyard fence to gain easier access to our back door and just left the fence lying on the ground so that passersby on the sidewalk could see right into our yard, which was piled high with demolition waste. Rob Capar promised us that they would fix the fence (along with our damaged front stairs), but they never did. Again, we had to pay our new contractor to fix Maison D'etre's sloppy work. The company's invoicing system was opaque, so it was hard to tell how much subcontractors were charging and how much was being charged as a fee by Maison D'etre. Rob Capar claimed to have many years of experience and inside knowledge of the City of Vancouver's permitting process and had us pay for a variety of expensive reports that he said were required to obtain the necessary permits. But, upon actually presenting our permit application to the City he got some resistance and recommended to us that we proceed to do the job without permits. We wasted months (and thousands of dollars) trying to make things work with this company. Ultimately we had to cut bait and hire a new general contractor. Our new contractor did an excellent job within our budget and in fact offered us many options that Maison D'etre never suggested. Overall, we had a very negative experience and would recommend avoiding this company.

Maison has been my preferred renovation team for the past ten years. I have only praise and…read moreexcellent experiences to report. Offering both the design and execution on their projects, it makes the whole work so much easier. If they need to sub contract, they are covered by workers giving the same high quality workmanship. We finished a major renewal this past spring and I'm totally happy about everything. My quality of living has been increased in so many ways thanks to their experienced team that came up with great ideas and on budget ! What I appreciate as well is their flexibility and relentless search to find the right way and the best way to do such work making the customer very happy. Look no further. Maison is the best renovation team in greater Vancouver.

Many places offer similar type lamps but are either clunky, unoriginal or will make your wallet over $1,000 lighter. We found the one we've looking for at BoConcept. It's a furniture franchise originated in Denmark. The store in Vancouver is on the 2nd level of the building shared by Inspirations on the ground level of the building. It was slight confusing on our first visit because they are 2 separate businesses which share a common centre in-store stairwell. Service was good. Since the only one available was a floor model, we were offered a reasonable 10% discount. A good alternative to sleeker and more stylish Scandinavian furniture in town than the mothership from Sweden.

The thing that makes BoConcept different from just anywhere else is the service that we get (from Paul) and we also like that everything just works together. The look is clean and refined and the quality is quite good as well. We have had a few issues here and there but Paul and BoConcept (and Rick) have been there to help us take care of anything that needed fixing. It's also nice to have an actual designer come to your house to help you see if things will work etc. They will even come during the installation to ensure that things are aligned correctly etc. I would definitely recommend them (and Paul) to friends, and I have.

I'm planning to redo my living room within the next year, so I've been eyeing a few of their decor pieces and design elements. That soft, West Coast vintage cottage aesthetic they curate is just so dreamy and beautifully put together.

Starting with a virtual blank canvas of only construction framing, they walked me through their vision of the suite. Their insight into layout(where to construct bedrooms, closets, kitchen, laundry room) and finishings(flooring, cabinets, countertop, tile, colours) is obviously truly a gift they possess. The end result was absolutely incredible. A neighbour who saw what I initially started with drooped over to see the final result. All he could say was WOW!, as he shook his head side to side, followed by several more WOW'S!! The suite rented the first day it was advertised, to the first couple who saw it. Well done Zwada Home!

Concentrating on my living room, dining room and bedroom, they have transformed my small space with all it's quirky angles, limited lighting and family heirlooms into a spacious yet cozy, cohesive, calm and welcoming place. I am amazed at how much more spacious my living area is now, including a second separate sleeping space, all in my one-bedroom condo. I approached this project with significant trepidation and wariness. Danny and Sandra spent time to get to know me and to find out what was important to me. Danny and his team did not rest until everything was completed and I was satisfied.

I would recommend Happy Home Design for any small or large redesign home project you can imagine. Thank you, Happy Home Design Team. You are the best. Cathy E.
