Interior Decorator in Vancouver, BC
Interior decorating is the layer that transforms a built space into a home. It’s the choice of colours that work together under your specific light, the fabrics that hold up to your family, the furniture pieces sized correctly for the room, and the details that pull everything into one cohesive story.
Refresh, Restyle, Reimagine
Whether you’ve moved in recently, your space has lost its way, or you’re tired of rooms that don’t quite work: interior decorating is what brings them back to life. We handle the full spec: colour palettes, finishes, furniture sourcing, window treatments, art, lighting, and the styling details that make the difference between “decorated” and “designed.”
Our Interior Decor Design Process
01 Inquiry
Fill out our inquiry form describing your space, timeline, and what you’d like to change. The form feeds directly into our project management system.
02 Discovery Call
A 15-minute call where we learn about your project and confirm we’re the right fit. Honest, direct, and focused on whether we can help.
03 Personal Site Visit
Our team personally conducts the first site walkthrough. We see how the rooms function, where the light falls, what’s working, and what isn’t.
04 Proposal
Once we complete the walkthrough and agree on the details, we will send you a custom-written proposal with scope, timeline, and investment.
05 Design & Specification
We develop your decorating concept: colour palettes, material specs, furniture and finish selections, all documented before sourcing begins.
06 Contractor Selection
We present our trusted contractor network and help you compare quotes. You always make the final decision. We simply guide you with the expertise to choose wisely.
07 Project Execution & Reveal
We oversee the build, coordinate deliveries, manage timelines, and handle the details, so on reveal day, you walk into a home that exceeds everything you imagined.

Ask about your areaFrequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an interior decorator and an interior designer?
Interior designers focus on the architecture of a space: layout, structural changes, kitchens, bathrooms, and built-ins. Interior decorators focus on the finishing layer: colour, furniture, fabrics, lighting, art, and styling. We do both, depending on what your project needs. If you’re starting with a built space and want it to feel finished, that’s decorating. If you’re moving walls or specifying materials before construction, that’s design.
How much does an interior decorator cost in Vancouver?
Interior decorating projects in Vancouver vary depending on scope, square footage, and what’s being sourced. There are too many factors that affect pricing, so we can’t provide an estimate until we visit the location and review your ideas to make sure we keep it accurate and tailored to your needs.
What does an interior decorator do?
Good interior design starts with listening. Before we talk about palette, finishes, or furniture, we want to understand how you live, what isn’t working, and what you want this space to become. That understanding shapes every decision that follows, from the layout to the lighting to the final styling. We manage the full process so you have one team to trust, and a space that genuinely reflects you.
How long does a typical decorating project take?
A single-room refresh takes 6–10 weeks from design sign-off to install. A full-home decorating project runs 4–8 months. Custom furniture and millwork is usually the longest lead-time item. Those drive the timeline. To give you a proper estimate please schedule a visit with us.
Do you work with the furniture I already own?
Yes, when it makes sense. We assess what fits the new direction and what needs to go. A good decorating project balances what you’d like to keep against what’s working against the room. We’re direct about both.
Do you offer virtual or in-person consultations?
Both. In-person is standard for Vancou ver-area projects since the first site walkthrough sets the entire direction. Virtual consultations are available for early-stage discussions and for clients outside our core service area.
