Our first meeting is more than a consultation. We dive right in, offering creative solutions and reliable resources for your design dilemmas. Choose from our two paths: Design Dash or Design+Deliver, with ongoing design support through Designer on Call. If it’s only colour that has you overwhelmed, we can focus on Just Colour Please.
It’s all completely tailored to your home project goals and your personal working style.

Our super-power is transforming ho-hum into brilliantly efficient and joyful. We pour our industry knowledge and creativity energy into the best design for you and your family.

A SAFE AND HEALTHY HOME
We shape your home for Living In Place. It’s a complete approach to making your home accessible, comfortable, and safe for you and loved ones of all abilities and ages. So, no matter what life tosses your way, your home always remains home.
Instead of throwing away and contributing to landfill, we look for opportunities to repurpose. And, we go the extra distance to furnish and finish with natural, local, handcrafted, vintage, and long-lasting goods.
We ensure your home is well connected to nature through organic shapes, natural elements, daylighting, and authentic materials. All people have a strong positive response to natural environments. Our heart rate slows. Anxiety levels drop. We become more creative, calmer, and happier.
We focus on the responsible use of materials. We’re concerned about chemicals that pose harm to human health and our planet, so we work hard to keep antimicrobials, PVCs, flame retardants, repellents, and VOCs out of your home design.
