Designer By Your Side
Flexible design support when you want expert guidance — without full-service scope.
This package is ideal if you want ongoing designer input as you work through a project — with a defined amount of support for decisions, sourcing direction, and keeping your design cohesive.
Based in Etobicoke, serving Toronto + the GTA — renovations, new builds, and decorating projects, with furnishings and finishing touches that make a home feel complete.
DESIGNER BY YOUR SIDE
This service is perfect for homeowners who want to stay hands-on but appreciate having a professional designer to guide decisions, answer questions, and ensure every choice works cohesively.
Through a series of collaborative meetings, we help you refine ideas, make confident selections, and keep your project moving forward — at your pace. Whether you need input on floor plans, finish selections, furniture layouts, or overall style direction, we’re by your side to provide clarity and creative solutions.
Your journey begins with an initial two-hour discovery meeting where we review your plans, discuss your goals, and establish a direction for your design. From there, we’ll work together in the way that suits you best — in your home, at retail showrooms, or in our Etobicoke design studio, where you’ll have access to our extensive library of samples and materials.
Service can be adapted to suit your needs and can include;
• Advice and ideas for floor plans and layouts
• Guidance for kitchen and bath design
• Finish and furnishing selections with designer support
• Furniture placement and scale recommendations
• Colour, fabric, and material coordination
• Fixture and lighting suggestions
• Window treatment ideas and paint specifications
• In-person, phone, or email consultations
• On-site appointments and walk-throughs
• Access to our studio library of catalogues and samples
Investment: 20 hours — $4,000 + HST (Subject to availability.)
This flexible service adapts to your needs — ensuring your design feels intentional, cohesive, and beautifully executed, with expert guidance every step of the way.
“Think of this as having a designer in your corner. You stay involved and make the final calls, but we’re here to guide, edit, and refine — so every decision feels confident and every space feels cohesive.”

Best for:
hands-on homeowners who want professional support while staying involved.
You'll get:
structured, ongoing guidance for decisions, sourcing, and keeping things cohesive.
Starting point:
all projects begin with a consultation to confirm scope and the best support format.
You're in the right place if:
• You want support, but you don’t need (or want) full procurement
• You’re busy and want a designer “on call” within a defined scope
• You get stuck making decisions and want faster clarity
• You don’t know where to source items or which options are worth it
• You want the “pretty stuff” to feel intentional — not pieced together

You’re not just choosing a package — you’re choosing a smoother, more supported experience. Our process pairs thoughtful design with clear structure, so decisions feel easier, the details stay cohesive, and your project moves forward with confidence.

FAQ's
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes — all projects begin with a consultation to confirm scope, goals, and the best next step.
Is this full service?
No — it’s flexible, structured support. If you want procurement and end-to-end management, we can recommend full service.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. If your needs change, we’ll recommend the best next step.
How is Designer By Your Side different from a consultation?
A consultation is a one-time, discussion-based session for direction and next steps. Designer By Your Side includes ongoing support within a defined scope, so you can get guidance as decisions come up and keep your project moving forward.
What types of questions can I use this support for?
Anything that helps you make confident decisions and keep your design cohesive — layouts and furniture placement, finish coordination, paint and undertones, lighting direction, sourcing recommendations, and styling guidance (within the scope of your package).
Are emails and phone calls included?
Yes — email and phone support is included within this package, and time spent reviewing, replying, and calls is counted toward your purchased hours.
How do we use the time best?
We’ll help you plan the hours around your biggest decision points — so you’re using support where it has the highest impact.
Do the hours expire?
Yes — hours must be used within 6 months of purchase.
