We work on projects of all sizes from small to large renovations. Aseel Khalil is a designer and professor at Sheridan College. Born in Baghdad, traveled throughout the Middle East, she moved to Toronto in the 1990s. Her work is inspired by architecture and civilization as well as the modern world. These visual influences are seen in her work through the use of color contrast, textures, pattern and her passion for antiques and ceramic art. Her style is eclectic, mixing classic with a fine touch of contemporary. She can work all different types of styles as well to best accommodate her clients wants and needs. My personal design philosophy statement Design is personal and emotional. It’s a vision of what’s right for the future. Being a designer should reflect my core values that define who I am in any project I take. Leaving a signature that reflects my values and creativity in restoring building fabric. Being responsible designer, leaving an impact in your community, and educating for global change is rewarding. Design should be uplifting and tell a story with a belief that there is a strong relationship between the outside environment and our wellbeing. Through the biophilic approach, we can create an extraordinary design that has a timeless quality and incorporates sustainable solutions. Good design can heal the mind, body, and soul. The design is functional; a unique tool to influence change and growth. Transforming and enhancing the built environment and being aware of client’s cultural beliefs and background experience are essential for capturing a deeper understanding of their lifestyle. ### Services Provided - Basement Design - Bathroom Design - Bedroom Design - Closet Design - Color Consulting - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Bookcases - Custom Built-ins - Custom Cabinets - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Custom Home Bars - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Custom Pantries - Custom Walk-in Closets - Dining Room Design - Drafting - Floor Plans - House Plans - Interior Design - Kids Bedroom Design - Kitchen Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Living Room Design - Nursery Design - Space Planning - Sustainable Design - Universal Design - Wine Cellar Design ### Areas Served - Cabbagetown - Casa Loma - Centre Island - East Danforth - East York - Etobicoke - Fashion District - High Park North - Little Portugal - Midtown Toronto - Mississauga Valley - North York - Old Toronto - The Annex - Toronto - Upper Beaches ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | AK Design | | Address | Toronto, Ontario M4N 1K1, Canada | | Phone | (647) 296-9990 | | Website | http://aseelkhalildesign.com | | Followers on Houzz | 29 | **Social profiles:** - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/aseel-khalil-16820528 - Blog — http://aseel\_khalil.houzz.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [AK Design](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-decorators/ak-design-pfvwus-pf~151048983) - **Website:** http://aseelkhalildesign.com - **Phone:** (647) 296-9990 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Bachelor in Interior Design - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2019), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 5 reviews** ### All 5 reviews **★★★★★ — Veronica Dondas, Nov. 2018** > My husband and I hired AK Design for a major home improvement project. We have interviewed a couple of designers before, but loved Aseel and looked no further. Aseel is a very knowledgeable, creative, innovative and honest professional and her commitment to each project is closer to none. She is calm, soft spoken and will take time to think of different alternatives, but when she comes back with her ideas, you can rest assured that the options she will propose are the best designs you could ever get. > When we met her, we had an idea into our minds about how the layout will be, but she went back and thought about it and the ideas she proposed were so great, that we immediately changed our view and decided to go with her suggestions. > She also helped us pick the best finishes – she went with her assistant (who is also great by the way) and got samples of everything back to us, presented a couple of options and we picked up when we had all the pieces together. It saved us a great deal of time and energy. > Aseel takes so much pride in her work, that she will look at every detail and will make recommendations while still keeping in mind your budget limitations. > She always worked around our busy schedules and came to meetings late in the evenings or during weekend, she took my calls no matter how late, she responded my text messages or emails very promptly and always took time to explain to me every aspect that required further discussion. > We are so proud and happy of our renovation project, that we would always recommend AK design to everyone who is looking for a high end design. Thank you so much Aseel – you are truly blessed with so much talent! **★★★★★ — Adeem Zubaidi, May 2017** > I have personally worked with many designers, but Aseel stands out exclusively as she gives every project a special feel with an eye to detail. Her passion to her projects is reflected through the devotion and special care she gives in. If you're looking for someone who would handle your project in ultimate care and out of the box ideas, then Aseel is definitely the person you should go to! **★★★★★ — Enaya Rabba, March 2017** > Ms Khalil from AK Design was exceptional.
