Moving to a new space?
Vanessa’s design philosophy is grounded in the belief that well-designed spaces meaningfully enhance quality of life. Her work prioritizes not only aesthetics, but also functionality, flow, and the lived experience of the end user. Each project reflects a thoughtful integration of creativity, practicality, and human centered design—not to mention personality. A well designed space can be beautiful, humorous, fun, inventive, and smart, just like the people who live in it.

Interior Design for Kitchens & Bathrooms
You might be the type of homeowner who loves everything home design related or you might be the type of homeowner who isn’t very interested in what’s going on with trends and home design, perhaps still using furniture gifted to you during your student days?! But guess what, getting a design plan, no matter what type of homeowner you are, can be massively useful.
For those of you who love design and have a great established personal style, getting a professional design plan can still be very useful to pull ideas together into one document with drawings so that your ideas can be translated to your contractor effectively. It can also offer you surprising solutions and creative ideas for floor pans, materials and sources to get the look you are after. And it is nice to bounce ideas off of a like minded person who gets where you are coming from.
For those homeowners who have spent less time concentrating on all things design related, I just want you to know that a good design of your space can absolutely improve your life! Whether it’s getting just the right floor pan for good flow or finding the right kitchen cabinets, wall colours, furnishings, fixtures or accessories, details from large to small can make a home feel cozier and more personal. Pretty much any feeling can be created within your space. With this much opportunity wouldn’t you want to take it more seriously?
For all types of homeowners a design plan pulls all of the elements of a project together and can give a homeowner a blue print to move forward. And seeing the end result and what the space could look like can give one confidence to move forward.
And a design plan saves you money, as it will organize a project within a budget and timelines. Having a very clear budget for all the elements of a renovation allows a homeowner to go step by step towards achieving the end result.
I like to think of the design plan as the structure for an inspired design!
