Interior Designers & House Decorators in Gravenhurst

“Renovated our new second story boathouse, consisting of three bedrooms, two baths, living/family room, new kitchen and dining area. Ran the whole project from start to finish with the contractor. We are absolutely in love with our space thanks to Lena at Hilltop.”

“My husband and I own a bakery-deli. In business for 29 years, we found ourselves operating in a tired retail area that we had outgrown. We challenged Nancy Lem to survey our existing space, usage patterns, and traffic flow. We asked her to analyze this and present us with a preliminary conceptual design scheme. Over the course of months, the final design evolved. Pages of plans, detailed drawings, mill right designs, interior and exterior elevations, reflected ceiling plans, electrical/ telephone/ cable plans, flooring plans, finish plans, cabinetry and furniture plans, product specifications…. It was daunting…I really had no idea of what we had initiated, but there was no turning back. Nancy guided us effortlessly through this major renovation (6months). She was a demanding representative for us. Her drawings served as a compass for everyone involved in the project. Visiting the job site daily, checking everything from dimensions to the quality of application of the paint. Guiding the project to its completion. Nancy combines careful listening with creative vision and problem solving. In my opinion, it is this combination of qualities that contribute to her success. The end result was not just a work place that was beautiful, but practical and functional. Three years later, we decided to enhance the quality of our personal life by renovating our 22 year-old, residential property. I was happy to know that Nancy would be working beside us again. Our dining room and living room, were rarely used; and seemed such a waste of living space. The wall separating the kitchen and dining room in my opinion had to come down to create a more open, functional area. The colour palette was dated, and there was no design theme. I needed Nancy to fix all my wrongs and make me fall in love with my home. This reno lasted for six months and consisted of reconstructing a Living Room, Lounge area (formerly Dining Room), Kitchen, Seated Eating area, Two Bathrooms, Front Foyer, Family Room and Master Bedroom. Nancy drew up the plans, sourced the materials and furnishings, specified the fixtures and fittings, chose the colour scheme and advised on window coverings. She arranged subcontractors and basically supervised the entire process until the curtains and pictures were hung and the sofas positioned properly. She accessory shopped for me, and turned my house into a home. All I needed to do was personalize it with pictures. Nancy will find a solution to any design challenge. She will guide you through the process with a well thought out plan, helping you to avoid costly mistakes. She will assist you through your design process making you feel comfortable with your decisions. She will work closely with you to make sure whatever your project is; that is practical, functional and beautiful and will reflect your personal style and needs. Lisa”

“Being a sales professional myself I can appreciate and recognize exceptional service.. With Stacey its evident from first meeting. Communication, insight, expertise, experience.. all things that are a must when looking for any professional and this case kitchens and vanities! Not only am I a client and I refer her services to any and all my clients and with great confidence that she will not only meet the expectations but surpass them. Anyone is always free to come see any of her work in my home.”

“I cannot say enough about the wonderful work that Caroline did for me. I hired Caroline Harrison to assist with the renovation of my main bathroom. Before hiring Caroline, I was overwhelmed and frustrated. By putting the job in Carline's capable hands, I enjoyed a stress free renovation experience. Caroline worked closely with my contractor to create a beautiful oasis in my Victorian home.”

“Aniko did a great job with us during our complete home renovation. She presented new and unique ideas for our renovation and worked alongside the various trades until completion. We are extremely happy with the outcome and have Anikos number on speed dial for future ideas and projects”

“We found Kristina very knowledgeable. She has a friendly, warm personality. She gave us several decorating ideas, three of which we implemented immediately (picture montage on wall, dining room chair fabric/colour selection and front entrance rug). She was able to readily source and material and ideas.”

“I just used Terri for the second time and I am so happy! Terri helped make my house a home. She was dedicated making herself available, guided me through tough decisions, and went above and beyond with the detail! I felt so comfortable working with Terri. She's always up for a challenge and is willing to help guide her clients on how to maximize their budgets.I would recommend Terri to anyone looking for a well thought out, well executed design project!!”

“I am absolutely in love with the work that Curato (Sydney and Ali) have created for my home. Their attention to detail and bringing in beautiful (and local) pieces have brought my living space to a whole new level. They listened to my needs, and handled everything with professionalism, on time, and on budget. They were amazing to work with, and I can't wait for our next project! Thank You so much for making my living space so elegant and gorgeous! Highly Recommend!”

“We engaged Staples Design Group to change the interior of our new home from modern to a more traditional look to compliment the exterior design of the home. We also used them to finish the basement space to compliment the new traditional look on the upper floors. They managed the whole process from design, contractor selection, pricing, paint colors, furniture and accessories and project management. They did an exceptional job, on time, on budget and we were completely satisfied. I would strongly recommend their services to others.”

“In 2004 Hurricane Ivan hit the Cayman Island, where I was a resident with disastrous damage to so many buildings, homes. My home was one effected. Debbie came to my rescue with confidence, ideas total professionalism despite having to deal with devastation on a personal level. Now that I reside in Winnipeg, I only wish I had her expertise to help me with my design desires.”
