Alykhan Velji Design

Having used a few interior designers before, working with Alykhan and his team was the best decision we made. He came up with great ideas, whilst working with our own thoughts and provided different matches. He'd continue making changes (not that there were many) until we were happy and the the end result was amazing. We always get compliments from family and friends. We had worked with AVD for our main floor and have him back this year to do the rest of the house.

Working with Aly and his team was seamless! Professional and talented, he also took the time to listen to our desires and work within our budget. Everything was completed within a timely manner and i would highly recommend working with AVD for your next project!

Complete and utter disappointment and waste of money. Thoughtlessly threw random mismatched pieces that didn’t even go together. When I questioned how this is going to possibly work, he said I didn’t trust his artistic direction and quit. Insisting I pay pretty much the entire quote even though the work was nowhere near finished and now am stuck with a bunch of IKEA grade pieces that I supremely overpaid for that don’t even match. Also, I caught him marking up pieces even after paying him a fee to purchase and share his discount. Also, I hired him because I was pregnant and wanted it done quickly. After almost a half a year, there was little done. I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone who has a space beyond a dorm room to decorate. FYI most stores offer free design services and you will probably get someone who cares A LOT more. These are the places he’s getting stuff from anyway. Plus they always have sales and Aly will not even be giving you the sale price..

I am absolutely thrilled with the changes in my house. I felt like I wasn't completely 'done' and had trouble deciding what that even looked like so I hired Alykhan Velji Design to have free reign once they got to know my taste. I felt like they totally understood, and also I liked how they pushed the boundaries and made it fabulous. I couldn't be more happy.

Working with the AVD team was the highlight of our renovation experience. They took the time to understand our family dynamic and were flexible in response to changing budget constraints. Our home is now a hub for time spent with friends, family and neighbors... AND it’s gorgeous.

I loved working with Aly! His approach was fresh and creative and he worked very hard to accommodate our ideas and work within our budget. I look forward to working with Aly on our next project.

Alykhan Velji has been working with our family for a few years now after we moved from Toronto and purchased our first Calgary home; an 80's challenge with great bones and room for the family to breathe. His team first helped us with the basic theme and colour pallet to lock in the design foundation. From there we moved to refresh the entire main floor with lighting, furniture and a new kitchen. We are on the home stretch now and have enjoyed the transformation. Aly and his team are professionals with a expert eye and clear understanding of our family's needs. He listened to us and created a home we love and is a reflection of who we are. Thank you!

Alykhan Velji and his team have been incredible to work with. His creativity and problem solving skills are amazing. He made the design process fun and relatively easy. His team was great to listen to any concerns we had, and took the time to understand our style. All of the items Aly chose were beautiful and tastefully chosen. His patience and understand helped make the process to be unforgettable. Aly is very professional to deal with, met deadlines and worked within the proposed budget. Would highly recommend Alykhan Velji to others without any hesitation.

AVD provided a complete home design for our renovated mid century home. We were looking for a contemporary look while at the same time staying true our Western Canadian roots. The team spent considerable time getting to know us and our "likes" before presenting us with ideas. Their choice of furniture, fabrics and colors were outstanding and they challenged our thinking to achieve an absolutely splendid result. The team was creative, diligent and above all patient in this journey we took together. We couldn't be happier in our new home.

We have had the honour of working with Aly Velji and his team on some very cool projects. Their professionalism, eye for detail and emphasis on an exceptional client experience is like no other. They are always ahead of the trends and never go stale on their design. They align themselves with amazing sub trades and truly treat everyone they work with as a strategic partner. We will continue to work with AVD for years to come.

Upon purchasing a new home in Calgary, it was soon apparent I would need assistance from a professional designer. I decided to use this company. Their design creativity was far and beyond anything I could have imagined on my own. Fantastic value for the fee charged. The concept that was provided to me was professionally produced, scaled exactly to the space size and given in a timely manner. All interactions with Aly and his staff were courteous and articulated with a sincere desire to make the experience the best possible. Synonomous with the "Ritz Carlton" experience. As a business owner of over 14 years, I would expect nothing less. I would not hestitate to recommend this company for anyones design needs. They are the "creme de la creme" of their industry. Top notch.

Working with Alykhan Velji Design you get a knowledgeable and friendly staff who are passionate about their work all the way through to completion. It is truly a pleasure each time we are asked to work with them on one of their projects.
