Whether you’re planning a renovation, refreshing a few rooms, or simply need a designer’s eye on your ideas, this working session gives you professional advice you can implement right away. We’ll review your space, talk through your vision and priorities, and make specific recommendations on layout, colours, finishes, and sources — all tailored to your home and lifestyle.

Best for:
layout direction, paint/undertones, finishes, lighting, styling, and next steps
You're in the right place if:
You’re busy and want a professional to simplify decisions and keep you focused on what matters most
You’re overwhelmed by options and want a clear plan for what to choose (and in what order)
You don’t know where to source items — or you’re tired of second-guessing what works together
You don’t have trusted trades yet and want guidance on who you need and what to ask
You want to avoid costly mistakes (scale, layout flow, mismatched finishes, lighting placement)
You want your home to feel cohesive and elevated — not pieced together
Choose your session format:
In Studio (Etobicoke)
Perfect if you want to see and touch samples. We’ll meet at our Etobicoke design studio (free parking) and use our library of fabrics, hardwoods, cabinet doors, countertop samples (Cambria, Caesarstone, etc.), tile, paint decks, hardware, and lighting to pull and pair combinations that reflect your style.
Best for:
renovations, kitchens/baths, finish direction, and anyone who needs clarity on “what goes together.”
In Your Home
Ideal if you want advice directly in your space. We’ll walk through your rooms, discuss what’s working and what’s not, talk scale and proportion, and map out changes that will make the biggest impact. You’ll get the same design brain — applied live to your light, layout, and furnishings.
Best for:
space planning, real-life furniture placement, styling direction, and making decisions with your home in front of us.
We’ll prioritize based on your goals and make sure you leave with clear next steps. Here are some of the items we can discuss together.

FAQ's
What is the Signature Consultation?
A professional working session with an interior designer — focused on direction, ideas, and clear next steps for your home.
What isn’t included?
This consultation is not full-service interior design, not detailed construction/permit drawings, not ongoing email support after the meeting, and not full sourcing/shopping for every item in your home.
Can you help with renovation or construction decisions?
Yes — we can discuss renovation and construction considerations during your session, and we’ll prioritize what matters most based on your goals.
Can I use the consultation on its own?
Absolutely. Many clients book this as a standalone service to get clarity and move forward confidently.
What if I want more help afterward?
If you’d like more support after the consultation (floor plans, 3D concepts, full sourcing, renovation/project management), we can provide a proposal for the next phase.
Will I receive a written recap?
Plan to take notes during the session. If you’d like a documented follow-up or next-step summary, we can discuss options as part of a larger scope.
Do we always use the full two hours?”
Not always. The consultation is booked for up to two hours, and we’ll use as much time as needed to answer your questions and create a clear plan. If your questions are covered sooner, we may finish early.
To keep the consultation focused, it does not include drawings, shopping/procurement, or follow-up support by email after the meeting. Please plan to take notes during our time together, as a written summary isn’t provided. If you’d like help implementing the plan, I’m happy to outline the next step that fits your project.
My husband and I recently moved into a condo and with the help of Lenore I was able to decorate and add some beautiful colours to make it a home. Lenore is very professional, lovely & awesome to work with. My experience working with her was superb. Highly recommend.

I used LDesigns' consultation option to get guidance for the design and decor in our living room and dining. Lenore showed me photos of furniture she would recommend for the space, suggested furniture dimensions, and provided some advice on making the space more cohesive and inviting. She also provided a great suggestion for improving the layout of our master bedroom. She was professional, responsive and set me on the right path for improving the space. Lenore's expert eye and advice were well worth it.

We were extremely pleased with Lenore's expertise and professionalism during our consultation. Her experience was clearly evident and we would definitely call on Lenore again in the future!
