She worked very well with our contractors, and most importantly the end result looked great! The design achieved a clean and comfortable look, just what we were looking for. We will definitely use her again in the future! **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Thanks, Mike! It was fun working with you and Tiffany. I hope we can work on another project sometime. **★★★★★ — Patty O'Brien, Oct. 2017** > Julie was a bit of a saviour! I was at a total loss when I bought my house and she directed me to buy the pieces that were classic and got me to a place that I could play around from. Thanks Julie! **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Thank you for your review, Patty. I was a pleasure to work with you and help you make the most out of your beautiful house. **★★★★★ — Ameera Sophia, Aug. 2016** > Though I didn't have the fortune of working with Julie, she was a top contender for our project. I highly recommend obtaining a quote from McNicol Interior Designs as Julie is prompt, thorough and transparent in her bidding process. I would definitely consider her for future projects. **★★★★★ — HU-132818, March 2016** > Julie is a pleasure to work with. I have known her for over 7 years. She is organized, on time for meetings, professional and personable with trades and clients. She respects project timelines and stays ahead of the schedules required by the job sites. Her drawings and documentation are clear and concise. Her designs are gorgeous. Looking forward to future projects together! **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Thanks, it's always a pleasure to work with you too! Hoping to work with you again soon. **★★★★★ — aziotas, March 2016** > As a professional Wall Paper installer, with work demands from various top designers both commercial and residential, Julie is one of the best.

I've always enjoyed working with you. You are always pleasant and professional and your work speaks for itself - impeccable! **★★★★★ — Marana Kitchen & Home Design, Feb. 2016** > Marana has worked with McNicol Interior Designs on several projects and have been most pleased with their work and their professionalism. **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Working with a professional company like Marana makes my job a lot easier!

She is polite, professional and cheerful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I love coming home each and every day to my house now. She helped us turn it into the home I always dreamed of having. I would recommend Julie in a heartbeat! **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Thanks, Stefanie! I'm glad you are pleased with your home. We certainly had our challenges with the existing structure at the beginning, but we were able to resolve it and complete the renovation. Now you have the tub you always wanted! ;) **★★★★★ — samanthadarvay, Dec. 2015** > I have worked with Julie McNicol on several projects. She and her design team are organized, detail oriented, swift, and creative and her concern for her clients best interest is consistently evident. She is always a pleasure to work with! **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Thanks, Samantha. It's always fun working with you and getting your input on art and custom framing. **★★★★★ — jeffrey\_dawson, Sept. 2015** > I had the good fortune of meeting Julie McNicol about three years ago and, since then, she has assisted me with two interior design projects. The first project entailed decorating for an expansion to my office and the second was to decorate a condo I had purchased. Julie has a great eye and is an amazing designer. She also has a wonderful personality and is extremely easy to do business with. Without a doubt Julie and I will work together again in the future and my wife and I have no plans to discuss any future design projects with anyone else. **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Thanks, Jeff. I hope you are enjoying walking to work instead of your previous commute! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Yu, Sept. 2015** > After recommended by a friend, I asked Julie to help me with the design and project management of a complete refurbishment of an up-market apartment. Being overseas, I communicated to Julie mainly via email. After sending her some photos of the styles I like, Julie was able to design two new bathrooms, open plan kitchen as well as selecting all the fixtures, floor and wall colour to suit my needs and my preferred style quickly and on budget, . She has an eye for detail, communicates clearly, and is very accommodating and extremely responsible. I feel very lucky to have hired her, and would recommend her highly. > Owner of Yorkville condo **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Thanks, Jennifer. You were a pleasure to work with and a great communicator, which helped to make my job easier. Hopefully we can work together again soon. **★★★★★ — danielglassberg, Sept. 2015** > Julie McNicol is an excellent Designer. She has assisted us with several home renovation and refurnishing projects over the years. Julie is very organized and professional. Her work has been a big help to us. **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > Thank you, Daniel. It's always a pleasure to work with you and Sherri. Looking forward to the next project together! **★★★★★ — ajsmith42, Sept. 2015** > We hired Julie to design our kitchen and main floor powder room from the ground up including all fixtures and finishes. Additionally, she designed new built-ins throughout the house, created the lighting plan, and guided us through interior and exterior colour selections. The overall goal was to rebuild/update several key areas in the house while retaining and enhancing the existing character. > > Julie is very well organized, responsive, and professional in her work. She has great, practical ideas to meet the needs of her client while remaining conscious of the budget with which she is working. She is well versed in different design styles and has a wide range of suppliers with whom she works. Probably at least as important, she is very pleasant and easy to work with and has made what could be a stressful process a lot of fun. > > The kitchen is a reasonable size, but not huge by any means. Julie has created a very functional and well optimized space, that meets all of our needs and wants, and is also gorgeous to look at. The powder room was carved out of underused space and is beautifully consistent with the character of the rest of the house, looking like it has always been there. Julie designed built-ins to create storage in awkward and underused spaces that have enabled us to make better use of the space throughout the house, ensuring that everything has a place. She really knows the small details that make a huge difference in design. > > Julie has been a very effective point person for the interior construction, working well with all of the suppliers, ensuring the contractor has all the information needed, but always keeping the needs of her client at the forefront. I would have no hesitation to work with her again or to recommend her to friends. **Comment from McNicol Interior Designs:** > It was a blast changing your extremely dysfunctional kitchen into a welcoming hub for your family and friends to enjoy. I hope your love of cooking has been rekindled now that the kitchen has a good flow! ## Selected projects - [Project Mayfair](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-mayfair-pj-vj~7019680) - Location: Whitby, ON - Photos: 20 - [Project Ashburn](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-ashburn-pj-vj~7070940) - Location: Whitby, ON - Photos: 17 - [Hillside Toronto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillside-toronto-pj-vj~5852228) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Project Fulham](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-fulham-pj-vj~6736978) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 33 - [Garden Studio Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-studio-project-pj-vj~6500725) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Project LemonOak](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-lemonoak-pj-vj~6204674) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Contemporary Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-basement-pj-vj~2500726) - Location: Whitby, ON - Photos: 17 - [Soneley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/soneley-pj-vj~2877463) - Location: Whitby, ON - Photos: 9 - [Clarkson Village](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clarkson-village-pj-vj~2877478) - Location: Mississauga, ON - Photos: 17 - [Project SouthOak](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-southoak-pj-vj~6204697) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Project Abbey](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-abbey-pj-vj~7520651) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 14 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/mcnicol-interior-designs-pfvwus-pf~1132471286) ## Ideabooks - [Glassberg Master Ensuite](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/47910633/list/glassberg-master-ensuite) — 4 ideas - [jmcnic's Favorites](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1831800/list/jmcnic-s-favorites) — 694 ideas - [McNicol Interior Designs's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30019569/list/mcnicol-interior-designs-s-ideas) — 134 ideas - [jmcnic's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19127350/list/jmcnic-s-ideas) — 14 ideas [See all 4 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jmcnic) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the vanity** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi!
