Recent residential project
Ensuite, Port Moody
Port Moody, Canada
A recent ensuite in Port Moody, built around clean lines and a warm palette: walnut cabinetry, brushed brass fixtures and a large glass shower.
We planned the tile layout, the cabinetry, the plumbing fixtures and the finishing touches together. Built by Fraser North Contracting.
The designer contractors recommend to their own clients
Renovation and construction companies bring Julieta in on their own clients’ projects. They point to a streamlined process and designs that balance good looks with daily use.
As interior designers in North Vancouver, we work on Lonsdale condos, hillside family homes and West Coast Modern houses, as well as offices and retail spaces.

Residential interior design in North Vancouver
North Vancouver homes range from Lower Lonsdale condos to post-and-beam houses in Edgemont and split levels in Lynn Valley. We plan each one around how your household lives, whether the scope is one room or the whole house.
Home renovation design
We design your renovation before demolition starts, so decisions happen on paper, where changes cost the least.
- Layouts and elevations your contractor builds from
- Lighting and electrical positions
- A finish schedule for flooring, tile, fixtures and hardware
- Coordination with your builder, who handles the construction
Kitchens and bathrooms
Kitchens and bathrooms pack a lot of decisions into a small space, so we plan the whole room as one design.
- Layout, cabinetry and storage
- Cabinetry elevations your cabinet maker quotes from
- Fixtures and lighting specified before rough-in
- Tile, counters and hardware chosen to work together
New builds and additions
We join while your architect or builder is still drawing the plans, while a change is still a line on a drawing.
- A lighting plan and finish schedule to price the job from
- Storage and millwork resolved before framing
- Furniture layouts checked before the plans are final
Condos and townhomes
Condo projects start with your strata’s bylaws, since many buildings set rules on flooring, renovation hours and alterations.
- Storage planned to the ceiling
- Furniture sized to the rooms and the elevator
- Installs booked around delivery windows
- Drawings prepared for your strata council
Room makeovers
A room that has not felt right since you moved in often has a layout, lighting or scale problem. We rework all three without moving walls.
Room makeover
Colour consultation
A white that reads warm in July can look grey by November. We test colour on your walls, in your light, and give you one palette for the house.
Colour consultation
Home organizing
When clutter keeps coming back, look at the storage first. We plan where things live and set up a system built around your routines.
Home organizingDecorating and commercial interiors
Interior decorator
Plenty of projects need no contractor. As an interior decorator in North Vancouver, we handle the finishing layer that makes a room feel complete.
- Colour palettes tested in your own light
- Furniture sourcing, including pieces you already own
- Window coverings for privacy and glare
- Lamps, rugs, art and the final styling
A single-room refresh runs 6 to 10 weeks from design sign-off to install.
Interior decorating
Commercial interiors
We design offices, hospitality and customer-facing spaces around your lease, your brand and the way people use the room.
- Space planning and finish specification
- Furniture and fixture procurement
- Contract drawings for permit submission
- On-site coordination with your contractor and landlord
Featured: Cue's N Cushion, a family recreation hub in Delta, designed from demolition to opening.
Commercial interior designFrom first call to finished room
01 Inquiry
Tell us about your home, your timeline and what you want to change. A few photos and a floor plan help if you have them.
02 Discovery call
A 15-minute call to learn about the project and confirm we are the right fit before anyone books a visit.
03 Site walkthrough
We visit your North Vancouver home to measure, see the light at the time of day you use each room, and understand what is working and what is not.
04 Proposal
A written proposal with scope, timeline and fees, based on the space we have seen. You know the cost before design work starts.
05 Design and specification
Layouts, finishes, lighting and furniture, documented in drawings and a finish schedule before sourcing begins. You review and approve the design before anything is ordered.
06 Contractor selection
We introduce trades we trust and help you compare quotes against the drawings. You make the final decision.
07 Build, install and reveal
We coordinate the trades and deliveries, answer questions from site, then style the finished space. The last visit is a walkthrough together to list anything outstanding.
Why work with Ment
Trusted by the trades
Contracting and renovation companies recommend Ment to their clients and bring Julieta onto their projects, because Julieta’s process saves their crews time on sourcing and decisions. If you already have a contractor, we fit into their schedule.
One studio, start to finish
Space planning, drawings, sourcing, contractor coordination and styling stay with the same team, so you brief one studio, once. When a question comes up on site, the person who drew the plan answers it.
Designed around your life
We design around how your household uses the space, keeping what you love and fixing what does not work. You see the layout options and the reasoning behind them before anything is ordered.

I believe a good interior designer listens first. My role is not to impose my style, it is to understand how you live and what you need, then guide you toward a space that feels authentically yours.

Ask about your areaFrequently asked questions
How much does an interior designer cost in North Vancouver?
Interior designer fees in North Vancouver depend on scope. A single room, a full renovation and a new build are different pieces of work, so we quote after a discovery call and a walkthrough. Our cost guide explains what moves the number.
Do I need an interior designer or an interior decorator?
An interior designer plans the layout, cabinetry, lighting positions and finishes, and produces drawings a contractor builds from. An interior decorator works on colour, furniture and styling inside the existing structure. Ment does both, and we recommend the right scope after the walkthrough.
Can you design my North Vancouver home renovation if I already have a contractor?
Yes. Plenty of North Vancouver renovations start with a contractor already chosen. We supply the drawings and specifications they build from and answer questions from site during construction.
Do you work on West Coast Modern and hillside homes?
Yes. On West Coast Modern and hillside homes in North Vancouver, we keep the timber, the glass and the views, and update the kitchens, bathrooms, lighting and lower floors around them. We walk the house first to see what the original design got right.
Can you design a condo in Lonsdale?
Yes. Lonsdale condo projects start with your strata's bylaws. From there we plan storage, lighting and furniture sized to the unit and to the elevator, and we book deliveries around your building's rules.
How long does a North Vancouver project take?
Project timelines follow scope. A single-room refresh runs 6 to 10 weeks from design sign-off to install, and a full-home decorating project runs 4 to 8 months. On renovations, the construction schedule and custom millwork set the pace.
Which parts of North Vancouver do you work in?
We work across North Vancouver, including Lower and Central Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Edgemont, Capilano, Pemberton Heights, Blueridge, Seymour and Deep Cove, and in West Vancouver. We meet you at your home for the walkthrough, and early conversations can happen by video.
Tell us about your space
Every project starts with a conversation about how you want to live or work in the space. Bring us the room, the floor plan or the whole house.
