We have been living in our condo for almost two years now, and we couldn't be happier! Karly and her team did a fantastic job! We love the open concept design with tall ceilings and oversized windows to let in all the natural light. We are obsessed with our kitchen! The layout is perfect, making the area functional, with lots of storage, and a large island for entertaining friends! The upper walnut cabinets go up to the ceiling for a modern and clean look, paired with a lighter colour for the island and lower cabinets. The overall feeling is so cozy that my boyfriend and I are excited to come home to a relaxing space after a long day! **Comment from Karly Parker Interior Design:** > Thank you Crystal, we are so happy you enjoy your condo! That was such a fun project we are so glad you appreciate the details! **★★★★★ — Vi Granite & Quartz Countertops, Feb. 2022** > Karly and her team do fantastic work! We are always impressed with the attention to detail, and quality of both the design and craftsmanship that are in each of their projects. **Comment from Karly Parker Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind words! It is always a pleasure when we get to work on projects together! **★★★★★ — Nancy, Feb. 2022** > The Karly Parker Design team are so capable, enthusiastic & talented. They bring a wealth of knowledge & experience to every design project. The team is an absolute pleasure to work with and from the first meeting you'll know you're in capable hands. **Comment from Karly Parker Interior Design:** > We appreciate you saying such kind things, we look forward to working with you on future projects. **★★★★★ — Michelle Hawryluk, Feb. 2022** > Karly took a complicated space in my home that was trying to do too many jobs (none of them well nor pretty), and turned it into highly functioning, gorgeous space that my whole family loves and guests comment on all the time. Her professionalism, experience and confidence in her recommendations, combined with the space she created for me to get clear on my vision for my home, made the whole experience of working with a designer, so smooth and comfortable. You won't just get a beautiful space working with Karly and her team; you'll get a practical, functioning space based on your specific needs... it's all the glamour of Pinterest combined with practical, everyday use, using her contacts to get you the best prices possible - this is why I'll be coming back to Karly and her team for my next project! **Comment from Karly Parker Interior Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind words Michelle! Your home is so beautiful and we are grateful for the opportunity to put our touch on it. We are looking forward to working with you again. **★★★★★ — Richelle Stav, Oct. 2021** > Karly and her team helped us with our custom home, and made sure every detail was perfectly executed. We absolutely love our home and couldn’t have done it with our her. **Comment from Karly Parker Interior Design:** > Thank you Richelle, it was such a pleasure designing your custom home! ## Selected projects - [Lakefront Dream Home \| New Residential Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakefront-dream-home-new-residential-build-pj-vj~6760920) - Location: Sproat Lake, BC - Photos: 42 - Description: This brand new Sproat Lake build is a contemporary waterfront beauty.
