Consultations
Expert guidance for your renovation or refresh
A hands-on session with Principal Designer Leah Simpson to answer your questions and provide tailored design guidance. Available in person or virtually.
During Your Session
Our design consultations are one-on-one working sessions where we review your space, identify opportunities for improvement, and explore solutions together in real time. As we work, we record recommendations, links, and resources for you, ensuring you leave with clarity, confidence, and a practical roadmap for next steps.
Afterwards
You’ll receive a written summary of key takeaways, links, and recommendations so you can revisit everything with ease.
What We’ll Cover
Our time together can focus on:
Layout and furniture planning
Colour, paint, and material selection
Renovation clarity and next steps
Finish selection guidance
Sourcing furniture, rugs, and lighting
Styling and décor
Why did I not do this earlier?! Leah totally got my style and she honed in on the good companies that reflected my style. I think of the hours and money I've spent in the past buying things that just didn't work. Now I feel confident in my purchases. Leah was so amazing to work with - she's very professional, yet very open, warm and friendly with a good sense of humour. It was a pleasure to have her in my home.

Why I Love This Work
Many homeowners tell me the same thing: design decisions feel overwhelming. One choice affects the next, and it’s easy to wonder whether everything will come together the way you imagined.
Before launching my studio, I worked for a semi-custom home builder where I’d help homeowners choose all their finishes—flooring, cabinetry, plumbing, paint, and more—in a single appointment. That experience taught me how to simplify decisions, break things down step by step, and guide clients toward cohesive choices that truly fit their home.
It’s the same approach I bring to every consultation today. My goal is for you to leave feeling cared for, confident in your choices, and clear on your next steps.
If you’re ready for a focused, productive working session (with a little fun along the way!), I’d love to help you with your project.
Hope to see you soon,

I really enjoyed my virtual consultation with Leah as we are starting to think about the changes and updates we might want in our new home. It will be done in stages, and she was so helpful in targeting our preferences and providing wonderful design element ideas as well as sourcing products for us. She is very open and collaborative! I recommend this experience highly!
