From our first consultation, they really listened to what I wanted and helped transform my dated spaces into something both functional and beautiful. > Their experienced team suggested some design elements I would never have thought of - like this gorgeous custom island that's now the heart of my kitchen. They managed to balance trendy features with timeless design choices that I know will look great for years to come. Even when I was worried about my budget, they found creative solutions without compromising on quality. > What really stood out was how they handled everything - from coordinating with contractors to selecting materials. They even helped source local sustainable options when possible. The whole process was so much smoother than I expected, and they were always available when I had questions. > If you're looking for interior designers in Ottawa who truly care about creating spaces that work for your lifestyle, I can't recommend them enough. My kitchen and bathroom look like they belong in a design magazine. **★★★★★ — Jenny Dao, Dec. 2017** > We had an exceptional experience with Sascha and her team from West of Main Design. We bought a lot and built our dream home in Westboro and Sascha was my first pick. I've seen her work before and I knew she was the designer for us. We first had a designer and architect who took our huge list of "must haves" for our home and they made up the structural plans for us with much of our input. The skeleton was there and now we needed a designer to help us keep continuity and bring us fresh, timeless ideas into our home. It was the best thing we could have done for our marriage. > > The process was very organic, we had an idea of what we had wanted for our list of "must haves" in each room and took much inspiration off Houzz. We created idea books for each room and shared them with Sascha. For rooms where we just didn't have a clue, Sascha brought us design books and ideas that we could possibly use as inspiration. From that, Sascha selected finishes (no more than 3 which was amazing because we weren't bothered with too much choice) for each meeting. Each meeting consisted of choosing paint, tiles, hardwood, features, lighting, blinds, hardware, etc. She would leave us the samples so we could really see them in different lighting and see how each room flowed well from one to the next. They were excellent communicators - we mainly made huge lists on an email and went through them one by one together at each meeting. If we liked something but it was way above our budget, she would find a suitable alternative at the price point we requested of her. If we didn't like any of her selections, we would explain why and she would come with 3 new samples. We brought in some of our own suppliers if we didn't like hers but overall she made sure to keep the flow and continuity while maintaining crucial points for us in mind (Easy to clean, timeless & classic with a modern flair). > > With any new construction or renovations you have to expect delays unfortunately. Some delays we ran into were trades not coming in on certain days, or not completing a tile project in time or the trades putting together the tiles incorrectly (so we had to pay for extra tiles after he ripped them out). I will say that my husband GC'd the entire project himself and we were both there every single day, 4-5 times a day checking in on trades so we caught a lot of mistakes that could have been made thus saving us a ton of money and stress. Sascha helped alleviate some of those mistakes by putting together very detailed sketches and updating them multiple times when we could change our minds (which was a lot - she is extremely patient!); examples would include, showing on her drawings how the tile is to be laid out, which direction and where the handles where located on the face of the drawers, mirror & other elevations, etc. Sascha also helped us keep on a realistic timeline, letting us know when we would need to put in orders to be able to have them in time for the trades to install. > > I still cannot believe we jammed in all of our "must haves" into this home. We made it work and she was a big part in that. We built the perfect home for us and after living in it for just over a year and a half I still do feel that way and am extremely happy with the finished product. **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Thank you so much for such a glowing review. It was an amazing experience working with you and Paul on your dream home and we’re so happy to hear you feel the same way. Building a home is a lot of work with so many details and you guys took on the GC role which isn’t always the case. That being said all of your efforts paid off and you can truly say that you built that home from the ground up.. blood, sweat, and tears of joy! ❤️ xoxo thanks again for taking the time to share your experiences with us. Sending you guys so much love for the holidays and New Year! **★★★★★ — Marjory Bryce, Nov. 2017** > I am delighted with the transformation which Sascha has made to my home, from jumbled to elegant. Sascha’s exquisite good taste and eye for detail are matched with careful shopping. The tradespeople she contracts do quality work. West Of Main is a highly professional company. In the initial consultation this designer listens very intently to what you and clarifies your expectations. Her recommendations are direct and very astute.Invoices are detailed and the time-line is explicit. All work is done on schedule, and inspected by the designer. I will be consulting this company again. **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Thank you, Marjory, it has been a delight working with you on your project. Your taste in art and antiques is on point and we feel that the combination of new and existing has really come together. Your enthusiasm and appreciation for our efforts make our job extremely rewarding. Thank you for being an amazing client and we're looking forward to continuing a great relationship xo **★★★★★ — Cathy MacKay, Nov. 2017** > Sascha and her team fix everything. They started with my kitchen and bathroom (total reno) then moved onto designing my two-storey, 2 car garage. Then created the design concepts for my backyard and front yard landscaping. Then Sascha and her team designed and completed my living room gas fireplace design in time for Christmas. :) > Sascha and her team are lovely to work with. She always has a solution for everything and has the ability to calm my nerves by simply saying " It will be beautiful". **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Thank you very much! We do love our work Cathy, it's our passion and we are very lucky to have so many great clients like yourself and Ian! We look forward to continuing to collaborate with you in the future! **★★★★★ — Jason Roberts, Oct. 2017** > The team at West of Main (WOM) really delivered when it came to helping me realize my jumbled thoughts in to a very precise vision. WOM’s modus operandi is clearly to listen to their clients and then direct them gently towards considering best-fit options. Confounded by what would look best for my kitchen backsplash, WOM’s team patiently met with me to review options, explaining how best to utilize colour, texture and tile size. They took in to account that my kitchen was not just a workspace but also the main entertainment location. During that time with me they were clearly focused on me and not distracted by other clients. This was pleasing because I am sure my project was small by comparison. They were also extremely conscious of my budget. I may have only had an inkling of what I wanted, but upon completion, I felt the WOM crew had teased out what I really wanted. I highly recommend WOM and will be using them again with my next project. **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Jason thank you very much for the review and very kind words, they mean a lot to us! We love what we do and working with you guys is always a pleasure. Seeing the expression on your faces really does it for us! We look forward to continuing our collaboration with you! > > Smiles > Team West of Main :) **★★★★★ — Gino De Angelis, Oct. 2017** > When my wife and I decided to purchase our new home, we knew that furnishing selections would be a daunting task. Through their vast experience and great reputation as a highly regarded interior design firm, we knew West of Main would be the perfect fit! With Sascha’s help and her enthusiastic attitude, it was truly a fun and exciting experience. Most importantly, she helped us stay within our budget, was very organized, and always made herself available to answer any questions or concerns that we had. We are very grateful and highly recommend West of Main for anyone seeking a reputable and talented interior design company. **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Wow! Thank you so much for all your kind words. It's clients like you guys that make our job so rewarding. We have had a blast working with you and helping make your dreams for your new home a reality. The lighting and furniture look simply amazing! Looking forward to more of your jokes at your housewarming in the near future! **★★★★★ — tedapi, Oct. 2017** > We've had a lot of fun working with West of Main to design and purchase items for our new house. From choice of paint and wallpaper, unique furniture pieces to suit our style, to selection and discounts for lighting throughout the house, Sascha, Justin and their team have been both tremendously helpful and fun to work with. We love the way our space is starting to look and are looking forward to a larger project with the team soon to add built ins to our living room. **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Thanks Larissa! We appreciate your feedback and have absolutely loved working with you on your beautiful home. Looking forward to collaborating with you again in the near future and fulfilling those design goals! **★★★★★ — Lisa Hagar, March 2017** > Sascha did an incredible job on our kitchen, living room and bathroom. We had the basic builders options and a challenging layout for the kitchen/living room that was difficult to make use of. She made recommendations for the kitchen design that opened up the space and allowed for its functional use. Sascha took the time to get to know us and incorporated our love of the outdoors and travel into her recommendations. Sascha helped us choose tile, lighting, paint colours, furniture, cupboards, fixtures, countertop and even plants. Her proposed options included a range of price points and the traditional to unique. Sascha was very dependable and enthusiastic throughout the renovation, always providing quick response to emails or phone calls. She made the stressful process of renovating enjoyable. The result a beautiful, unique, modern space that felt like us. We couldn't be happier. **Comment from West of Main Design:** > We loved working with you and Glenn and wanted to infuse the design with your beautiful personalities! It was a great experience for us to reuse your existing cabinetry and layout and still see such a dramatic change. We are so pleased you love your home and enjoyed the experience as much as us :) **★★★★★ — Karen LeVasseur, Nov. 2016** > Sascha is the consummate professional when it comes to interior design! I had the great pleasure of dealing with her for my kitchen, dining room and bathroom renovations. Paint colour, counter-tops, backsplash, art, lighting, cupboard refinishes and fabric choices were all in the mix. Left to my own devices, I would have been overwhelmed with the details. With Sascha's careful guidance, though, everything fell into place without a hitch. Her knowledge, taste and attention to detail are impeccable. She is reliable, trustworthy and genuine and her team possesses the same wonderful qualities. Not only am I delighted with the results, she actually saved me money on the purchase of materials from suppliers! **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Thank you, Karen for all your kind words! You have been a huge supporter of West of Main and we are grateful for all your love. We had a blast working with you and as you already know your home is one of our favourites. You have exceptional taste and it was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with you :) xo **★★★★★ — Corinne Woods, Nov. 2016** > I cannot put into words how valuable Sascha has been throughout the process of finishing and decorating our new home. We purchased a new build, and Sascha attended our appointments to help us pick out our finishes. Her expertise assisted us in determining where to allocate our funds for upgrades, which finishes to choose to maintain appeal for resale, while incorporating our personalities into the finished product. At our pre-delivery inspection, the inspector commented that it was the nicest unit he had seen in the development! > > Sascha's assistance did not end there. She has continuously provided input and direction for the decorating process. From recommending furniture at various price points, to ordering the perfect chandelier, to recommending where to add greenery and pops of colour, she has embraced everything that we expressed was important to us and turned it into our dream home. > > Choosing finishes and furniture from swatches and a floor plan are not an easy task. Having the experience of a designer to help make those decisions was so advantageous. The value of having Sascha help us visualize the finished product far outweighed the cost of her services **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences with our team at West of Main. Your feedback is so kind and we are very happy you enjoyed the process as much as us. We couldn't be more proud of our collaboration with you xo. **★★★★★ — Peter Weiss, Nov. 2016** > Sascha and team at West of Main met and then exceed our expectations when working on a complex and time sensitive build for a new Commercial space. Sascha was able to successfully convey our intended feel for a luxurious, yet comfortable and highly functional space. She has a remarkable ability to fully understand a customer's intended emotion for the space while using today's trending materials to create that special environment. Peter Weiss, General Manager, Urbandale Construction. **Comment from West of Main Design:** > Thank you, for all your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and your team on the Experience Centre and we look forward to all our future collaborations. Thanks again for the opportunity to impress :) **★★★★★ — keldeangelis, Sept. 2016** > After much research, we hired West of Main to provide their expertise with our home selections (structural, exterior and finishes) prior to building and continued with their interior design services. > > Having Sascha from West of Main attend our meetings throughout the building process helped us make educated decisions on our home layout and finishes. Sascha asked important questions during our meetings that would have been overseen which would had left us with issues upon moving in. She also had creative ideas to make our house not seem so "cookie-cutter" while buying from a large builder and she was able to add a designer flare. Her attention to detail and experience helped us create our dream home flawlessly and made the building experience so much more enjoyable! We left each meeting confident that we were making educated decisions and her creative ideas excited us. Sascha is also respectful of her clients budgets - she knows exactly where to spend and where to save to get the most value out of your home. We enjoyed her so much throughout the building phase we decided to continue with her services to furnish our house as well! Needless to say, we highly recommend West of Main! **Comment from West of Main Design:** > It has been such a fun adventure working with you both and discovering the dreams you have for your new home. Your kind words and appreciation for our experience and knowledge make our efforts that much more rewarding. We are thrilled to collaborate with you on Phase 2 (furnishing)! Thanks again for taking the time to share your experiences with us, we greatly appreciate it :) ## Selected projects - [Project Downtown Darling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-downtown-darling-pj-vj~7259076) -

This is Benjamin Moore "Essex Green" HC-188. Hope you have a lovely day! @audreyhall642 **Q: What tile (brand, color) is used here? It's classic in every sense.** *(in Photo Questions)* If possible, please provide the brand, color, and size of wall tile. Many thanks... A: Hi Lisa! So glad you like it. This white subway tile is from Ciot and is 2.5 x 9.5 inches. **Q: could you give me some info on the glass mosaic used on walls?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi the mosaic used in this backsplash is from Euro Tile & stone.. it's from the Hirsch collection http://hirschglasscorp.com/index.php/collections/ **Q: which mosaic tile was used?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The collection is called Hirsch and we purchased it through Euro Tile and Stone http://hirschglasscorp.com/ **Q: What is the countertop material?** *(in Photo Questions)* What company makes the countertop and what color is it? A: Hi, for this client, we provided Design Centre consultation, as they were building a home with Minto. That being said we don't have the exact specification for this counter as it was one of the available counter options through the builder. We would advise you to look at Caesarstone 4030 Stone Grey or Silestone may have a lighter version. The counter is Quartz with a medium even grey tone. Hopefully this is helpful. Smiles, Sascha **Q: Cabinet color** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me the paint color of the cabinets? They are gorgeous. A: It's a thermofoil door from Sawmill Oak catalogue. I don't actually have a colour sku for it. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-11.*
