Testimonials

 

Our experience with M Design has been exceptional. Michelle understood precisely what our home needed to elevate it to the next level of luxury. Michelle helped us with our space planning, window treatments, and furniture & fabric selection. Most of the items she curated for us were custom, which ensured that everything complemented our home beautifully. Throughout the entire process, we were confident that Michelle was managing the projects with professionalism and care. Michelle is a very talented decorator and is extremely easy and enjoyable to work with.

With Michelle’s help, we have a bathroom we love!. Michelle was able to look at our space and see possibilities that had not occurred to us. By moving our door, we were able to have a shower that is twice the size of our original shower. Our vision changed from start to finish and Michelle pulled the project together beautifully. It was Michelle’s expertise in color and design that made it all come together. She kept within our budget and blended high end products with off the rack to create a bathroom that is both functional and beautiful. Michelle worked with my quirky work hours and was very accessible. Much to my husband’s dismay, I think we have more renovations in our future and I have Michelle to thank for making the process painless.

Michelle was very instrumental in the design of our new home build. We had no idea where to start with flooring, cabinets, colors, finishing products and design. She was able to help us determine our exact design style and then focus our efforts in finding the flooring, cabinets, tile, etc. in the exact pallet we wanted. She was patient, listened to every idea we had, provided detailed information on all the available products and suppliers, and was available to assist us exactly when we needed. We couldn’t have done this build without her help, knowledge and design skills! Thanks Michelle!

After having a very successful experience with M Design during our full scale home renovation, we engaged Michelle once again to help us with Phase II—sourcing furniture & accessories, and essentially putting the final touches on our newly renovated home. She was a great asset at finding the perfect finishing touches and keeping the overall look that we wanted to achieve. Michelle saved me hours of searching and sourcing and was able to complete our look. We are overjoyed with the final outcome!

Michelle has been amazing – I can be pretty indecisive and she has shown great creative spirit and boundless patience throughout this project! She listened very carefully to what I wanted and has shown me numerous options that fit both the design brief and the budget I set. I am thrilled with the final look of my room and cannot recommend her highly enough as she is a joy to work with.

I hired M Design to help me with the complete renovation of my townhouse.
From our first interview, I was confident in her abilities to take on the project and her wonderful personality has made working with her a pleasure. She has proven to be a very creative, resourceful and trustworthy designer. Michelle’s service is second to none, always being available and taking ownership of the project. She has been there every step of the way, from space planning, cabinet selections, and flooring to paint, wall coverings and lighting, always keeping mindful of my budget.
I highly recommend M Design.

We contacted Michelle after purchasing our townhouse. We wanted to replace the kitchen appliances before moving in. We gave Michelle a tight timeline and she turned around our request immediately. She was able to source a full appliance package at a better price that we would have been able to ourselves. We also appreciated her wise advice which included the best way to maximize our limited budget. We are very grateful for Michelle’s guidance and definitely plan on using her again with future renovations we have in mind.

Jemina, Surrey

Our laundry room needed to become a space that was much more effective for our family’s busy schedule. Michelle suggested that we convert the laundry room into a laundry room/mud room combination. With some clever space planning, Michelle created a very usable space where every member of the family can now be responsible for storing his own shoes, coats, sports gear, and school needs. It’s a big relief when a problem is solved and we are very grateful for Michelle’s passion for getting projects done right.

John, West Vancouver

We had a very challenging kitchen space that we wanted to renovate.  While the kitchen was large and open, the flow was awkward and we had very little storage space.  We didn’t know where to start.  We had immediate confidence when we met with Michelle at M Design to discuss the possibilities.  We were thoroughly consulted as Michelle listened to our needs and expertly guided us through the design process every step of the way.  We appreciated that Michelle worked with the existing architectural elements and created a design that integrated seamlessly with the rest of the house.  We were also grateful that she was eager to find creative ways to maximize our budget.  Our kitchen has been transformed into a gorgeous space that is incredibly functional and enjoyable for our busy and social family.

Francine, West Vancouver

Working with Michelle has been such a pleasure. As a client who appreciates the fine details, I really appreciate Michelle’s attention to detail. During the process of decorating our home, she has been very accommodating with helping to source our furniture needs. It has been an enjoyable process in the finishing our home and we couldn’t be happier! We are looking forward to starting our next project with her soon!

David, Coquitlam

We completely renovated our kitchen this year. Michelle was wonderful in guiding us through the process of selecting a design that works for us and choosing modern appliances that fit within our small kitchen and make it a more useable and enjoyable space. In addition to appliances, there is a bewildering array of items to choose from for lighting, paint, tiles, cabinets, flooring, sinks and fixtures and Michelle made the process of making good decisions easier for us, while ensuring that all suitable options were considered. Now that everything is complete, we have a kitchen that we love.

Masako & Ian, North Vancouver

I have worked with Michelle on several jobs where she did all the design work and supervision. All of these jobs were executed smoothly and seamlessly because Michelle pays close attention to the details. I would recommend Michelle with no hesitation to any home owner. She is one of the designers I have had the privilege to work with who didn’t have any attitude and was very down to earth.
