Lakeshore Designs
Interior Designers in Kawartha Lakes, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 June 2020
“Angela is so incredibly talented! She came in to stage our lakehouse and it was like an episode of "Love it or List It"! In the end, we LOVED it! Her design ideas were inspired and her service and level of responsiveness were exceptional. I would highly recommend her services to anyone and we plan to use her again in the future.”
Nancy Lem Design
Interior Designers in Kawartha Lakes, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 January 2013
“My husband and I own a bakery-deli. In business for 29 years, we found ourselves operating in a tired retail area that we had outgrown. We challenged Nancy Lem to survey our existing space, usage patterns, and traffic flow. We asked her to analyze this and present us with a preliminary conceptual design scheme. Over the course of months, the final design evolved. Pages of plans, detailed drawings, mill right designs, interior and exterior elevations, reflected ceiling plans, electrical/ telephone/ cable plans, flooring plans, finish plans, cabinetry and furniture plans, product specifications…. It was daunting…I really had no idea of what we had initiated, but there was no turning back. Nancy guided us effortlessly through this major renovation (6months). She was a demanding representative for us. Her drawings served as a compass for everyone involved in the project. Visiting the job site daily, checking everything from dimensions to the quality of application of the paint. Guiding the project to its completion. Nancy combines careful listening with creative vision and problem solving. In my opinion, it is this combination of qualities that contribute to her success. The end result was not just a work place that was beautiful, but practical and functional. Three years later, we decided to enhance the quality of our personal life by renovating our 22 year-old, residential property. I was happy to know that Nancy would be working beside us again. Our dining room and living room, were rarely used; and seemed such a waste of living space. The wall separating the kitchen and dining room in my opinion had to come down to create a more open, functional area. The colour palette was dated, and there was no design theme. I needed Nancy to fix all my wrongs and make me fall in love with my home. This reno lasted for six months and consisted of reconstructing a Living Room, Lounge area (formerly Dining Room), Kitchen, Seated Eating area, Two Bathrooms, Front Foyer, Family Room and Master Bedroom. Nancy drew up the plans, sourced the materials and furnishings, specified the fixtures and fittings, chose the colour scheme and advised on window coverings. She arranged subcontractors and basically supervised the entire process until the curtains and pictures were hung and the sofas positioned properly. She accessory shopped for me, and turned my house into a home. All I needed to do was personalize it with pictures. Nancy will find a solution to any design challenge. She will guide you through the process with a well thought out plan, helping you to avoid costly mistakes. She will assist you through your design process making you feel comfortable with your decisions. She will work closely with you to make sure whatever your project is; that is practical, functional and beautiful and will reflect your personal style and needs. Lisa”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 March 2014
“We've had the opportunity to work with What's in Store Home and Design several times now and have found their work to be exceptional. Linda is creative and has great attention to detail. Her designs are both elegant and comfortable. We are now going to be starting our third project with them ~ our family room ~ and are so excited to see the end result. I just know we'll love it.”
Birchview Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 April 2017
“As a Design / Renovate / Build firm we know very well that we are only as good as those that we partner with. Nancy and the Birchview team have been fantastic to work with from initial client introduction through to project completion. We thank you for trusting us with your clients and for all of your support throughout the renovation process. We would recommend Nancy and her team to anyone who needs that keen design eye, an easy work style and that bit of extra care during what can be a stressful decision making process!”
ACM Designs
Interior Designers in Kawartha Lakes, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 April 2015
“We did a complete reno of a second floor house with an added third floor. Andria of ACM Designs was a reno saver! She guided me thru all of the interior design. She knew our budget and what we envisioned. She listen to my ideas and helped guide me in all areas, from tiles to toilets! I could not have done this without her help. I have no problem recommending ACM design for any project, she was honnest, knowledgeable, and listen to what we wanted.”
Kate & Co.
Interior Designers in Kawartha Lakes, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 August 2016
“I asked Kate&Co. to assist me in the design of my retail location last summer. I own a café so, it was important that my space stand out from the crowd and give the town a taste of something they haven’t seen before. Kate assisted me with paint colour, furniture selection and accessorizing. The support was great when pulling the space together. I would say that my shop now has an urban/industrial feeling that my customers really enjoy. It’s a comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to host a business meeting or a coffee date with friends. Boiling Over's Coffee Vault has become a versatile space that I am happy to provide for my community. It was great to work with someone who is also a fellow business owner in Lindsay. If we can all find a way to share our strengths with fellow businesses our community will grow to be even stronger. I would recommend Kate to any business owner who is looking to revamp their space or anyone who needs help with developing a concept for their store!”
A Welcoming Home
Interior Designers in Kawartha Lakes, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 March 2015
“Jennifer Trussler from a welcoming home could not have been more professional or supportive throughout this project. We moved into our new home and we knew we needed to make changes. Where to start? Jennifer turned our new house from dated; to classic, warm, comfortable and ours. We now have a space that we never want to leave. Jennifer and the Reno team that she suggested to us "radical renos" as well as GET hvac were amazing. Such a great group of guys nothing was a problem and everything was completed on time and to more than our expectations. Thanks Jennifer we would suggest that anyone looking to do a Reno or design change contact and hire a welcoming home. I can't say enough about how happy we are”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 May 2017
“Working with Harbinger Interiors was a dream come true! This was our first experience working with an interior designer, and we could not be more thrilled with our finished project. Although we had to change our original plans a few times, Harbinger Interiors made this happen with ease. We have created a very personal family space together, which I will forever be greatful for. Seeing our vision come to life, in a more beautiful package than I could have ever imagined, has been once again a dream come true.”

What’s the difference between interior designers and interior decorators?


These two closely related professions are often mistaken for the same thing, however, there are some significant differences to be aware of before deciding which to hire. An interior designer, sometimes known as an interior architect, can run full renovation and structural design projects, and will use specialised knowledge of interior architecture, construction systems and components, building regulations, materials and furnishings to arrive at your dream home design. Interior design companies are able to plan spaces and room functions down to the last detail, and can help design and renovate interiors, from initial planning phases to placing the last decorative accessory. A decorator on the other hand will typically be involved only in the aesthetic layer, the “look and feel” of a space, and won’t be able to assist in renovations that require structural work. Interior decorators normally come on board after all structural work is complete. So choose your Kawartha Lakes, ON interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Kawartha Lakes, ON?


They say life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. Some of us are just too preoccupied with a career and/or family to think about colour schemes, wallpaper, flooring and lighting. A professional interior designer in Kawartha Lakes, ON can save you bags of time, stress and months, if not years, of living in a half-finished home. It’s their job to stay on top of the latest trends and to have contacts and visual references coming out of their ears. Interior designers can also save you money, by sourcing products via trade contacts or offering affordable alternatives to blowout iconic designs.

How do I choose the right Kawartha Lakes, ON interior designer for my home?


Good design and visual inspiration are all around us. Start by searching for interior architects and interior designers in Kawartha Lakes, ON on Houzz. Keep a lookout for images of rooms and features that you really like and save them to your Ideabooks to begin to develop an understanding of your own style and taste. If you notice that photos from the same interior design companies are popping up regularly then that is a good hint that they could be your perfect design match. You can feel most confident if you hire an interior designer or interior design company in Kawartha Lakes, ON that has completed work similar to the look and feel that you desire, whether that is a mix-and-match lounge oozing mid-century modern style, a pale and interesting minimalist bedroom with shots of colour, or a beautiful space inspired by Scandinavian design.

You may want to check if your designer is a member of the Society of British and International Design (SBID) or The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID). Both are a benchmark of quality and reliability. And check if your interior designers can offer you the right type of service – some companies are design only, while others can oversee the whole project. If it is the latter that you seek, make sure any sub-contractors used are fully accredited and it is clear who they are supposed to report to. If late alterations are made to the plan, the contractor should receive a change order, thus minimising the risk of a dispute about what was and wasn’t agreed to after the start date.
