Studio Ten Interior Design Ltd. offers professional residential and commercial interior design services from initial concept development and space planning through to complete construction drawings and specifications. We work with homeowners, business owners and developers for new residential construction projects and major renovations, as well as commercial designs of all types. Our goal is to create timeless environments that are not only beautiful, unique and interesting, but completely functional. We believe it is never necessary to sacrifice one for the other. It is also so important for spaces to have a WOW factor... whether a space is quietly sophisticated or makes a bold statement, the best designed spaces are the ones that you don’t wonder who the designer was - every space should ultimately be a reflection of the people that will live in them. We work closely with the client through all stages of the project to ensure that their functional and economical needs are met, and that their vision of the environment that we are creating together is well thought out, comfortable to be in, and ultimately beautiful to look at. We also believe that the heart of a successful project is the positive collaboration between the client, designer and contractor. Once the design direction for a project is established and approved, we focus on providing detailed interior construction drawings and specifications, which ensures that the projects runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible, saving the client time and money. The end result? Beautifully designed, on time, on budget, and exactly what the client expects. Studio Ten opened its doors in 1994 and resides in the heart of the Armouries District of Vancouver, BC, and works both locally and throughout Canada. We are registered professionals with the IDIBC (Interior Design Institute of British Columbia). ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Color Consulting - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Custom Cabinets - Lighting Design - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Custom Built-ins - Floor Plans - Entry Design - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Furniture - Laundry Room Design - Mudroom Design - Nursery Design - House Plans - Custom Home Bars - Art Selection - Closet Design - 3D Rendering - Universal Design - Outdoor Kitchen Design - Basement Design - Custom Bookcases - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Walk-in Closets - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Home Theater Design - Wine Cellar Design - Custom Shelving - Custom Pantries - Home Staging - Drafting - Handicap-Accessible Design - Custom Beds - Custom Storage - Feng Shui Design - Home Office Design - commercial space planning and design - new construction - new home construction - new home design - tenant improvements and permit drawings. ### Areas Served - across Canada - Arbutus Ridge - Barnet - Belcarra - Burnaby - Coal Harbour - Deep Cove - Fishermans Cove - Hastings-Sunrise - Hollyburn - Killarney - Kitsilano - Lynn Creek - New Westminster - North Burnaby - North Vancouver - port moody - Renfrew-Collingwood - Richmond - south surrey - Sunset - Vancouver - West Point Grey - West Vancouver - white rock - Whytecliff - Yaletown ### Typical Job Cost CAD 10,000 - CAD 25,000,000 New construction for Luxury Homes typically $1m to $25m.

After meeting with her we knew right away that she was the right person to help us with our custom built home. We had some ideas but weren't sure how everything would come together. Lori listened to our ideas and provided helpful advice and in some cases better alternatives. She is very talented, creative and passionate and was able to bring our ideas to life. She worked closely with our builder to resolve any problems that arose. Since I am not a visual person she provided us with 3D drawings which helped us visualize the exterior of the house and the kitchen layout. This was incredibly helpful. Lori was always available to answer any questions we had. She is super personable. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an interior designer. Designing and building a house can be an overwhelming and stressful experience. Having an awesome team player like Lori on your side will help keep the stress to a minimum. **★★★★★ — HU-44613699, March 2022** > I never thought I would have the opportunity to work with Lori while watching from the sidelines as I witnessed her practice / career grow steadily over the past 12 of 25 years. You see, Lori was a volunteer designer on a home tour volunteer committee of which I managed on behalf of a national children’s charity. I was always so impressed at her level-headed approach to committee matters that often looked like they were headed sideways, a case of too many volunteer designers in the kitchen. Lending her vast design experience (the most senior interior designer on the committee of twelve) and passion for the cause, I was so very grateful to have her support. > > I watched Lori rise to the challenge, decorating homes that homeowners so generously put on tour, often dealing with personality’s that required the kid glove treatment. She is so very diplomatic. And then I watched her decorate a home that she had herself designed and all I can say is WOW!! Getting to know Lori over the years has been a gift, she is a wonderful person, gifted designer and cares for her community. > > Fast forward: right from the start I knew I wanted to have Lori on my team as now it was my turn to build a “dream home” with my partner, a custom designed home on acreage in the country. Pre construction, standing in the field, overlooking the landscape she knew immediately without hesitation, where the home needed to be placed and how it would rise out of the ground. We all shared the same vison to include architect, builder and Lori, my interior designer. My Dream Team!! > > With any project, a clear understanding of the objectives is critical, and Lori sparred no time getting to know us and our lifestyle. Our likes and dislikes right down to our preference to coffee. NO kidding, French press or Nespresso, small detail but it kick starts you day so you better get it right. Attention to detail with no detail too small, her standard is set very high. > > Living on our property while under construction meant we got to know everyone on site and while try, we were often under foot so to speak. It was a great experience as the trades, all very talented, had so much respect for Lori. She was new to the build team, and they embraced her designs and materials; they loved working with her and her fresh design concepts. > > While covid did present a challenge with supply, Lori continued to pursue options and follow up to keep the project moving. She had to, we were living onsite in a 40” trailer with 2 puppies, labs that were growing overnight, so it seemed. > > End result: over the moon happy Would I do it again, YES, with Lori!! **★★★★★ — Dave Rurak, Sept. 2021** > We discovered Studio Ten through their Houzz site. We liked what we saw, so we contacted Lori, originally to assist with a renovation we were planning. > But then we changed our mind and decided to build a new house. Lori was kind enough to recommend a house designer and a contractor, both of which we hired and they turned out to be awesome. > Of course we also hired Studio Ten to do all the Interior Design. > Lori and her crew did all the interior design work and also assisted with exterior colours and lighting. Their drawings were detailed and when needed, included 3D renderings. They did everything for us - paint colours, wall papers, moldings, trim work, flooring, light fixtures, bathroom fixtures, etc. Lori even helped us pick the new furniture we needed. > Most important, Lori initially spent the time with us to determine what we liked and didn't like and designed accordingly. We could not be happier with the final outcome. Thank you Lori. **★★★★★ — Kierstan McCaw, Aug. 2021** > We had an exceptional experience working with Lori during our whole house renovation. At the beginning of the project she listened carefully and asked the right questions to get the information she needed to create a design that was beyond gorgeous and that we love. Do take a look at her portfolio on the Studio Ten website for great examples of the high quality of work she does. She is professional, skilled, creative, smart, has a great sense of humour and easy to work with. Lori communicated well with our contractor and trades people and solved problems quickly and confidently. We give Lori and Studio Ten our highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — davidens, Feb. 2021** > I just completed a major renovation of my home with Studio Ten Design. I was fortunate to have had Lori recommended for the project. After the 1st meeting, I felt I could trust Lori 100%. She listened to what I had in mind, and with her vast creativity and experience, created a fantastic design. My family and I will enjoy this home for many years to come. I highly recommend Lori and Studio Ten Design. **★★★★★ — Kingdom Builders, Dec. 2020** > We just finished a major rebuild with Studio Ten Interior Design. The design concept and final product is amazing. Studio Ten provided excellent drawings and all specifications were documented which allows us to get the job done efficiently. Thank you Lori! **Comment from Studio Ten Interior Design Ltd.:** > Thank you Kingdom Builders, you are so great to work with! **★★★★★ — Nick and Donna, Dec. 2020** > Lori was responsible for leading what started as a small home reno project into a full home overhaul full stop. Her imagination and corresponding design are second to none. Her instincts on every component of the design process were outstanding. She’s incredibly thoughtful and collaborative, although we usually found it best to just defer to her on choices as she delivered the best result every time. We couldn’t be happier with the end result, and give her 6 stars!! **Comment from Studio Ten Interior Design Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for this glowing review!! So glad you are happy with everything! **★★★★★ — HU-106865828, Dec. 2020** > My husband and I bought our first home this autumn and wanted to create a modern but also comfortable space. Lori and her team were wonderful at helping us pick our paint colours, create feature walls, and integrate our existing furniture into our new space. What I also found helpful was that Lori graciously arranged handymen, blinds installation, and painters for us who were very professional and did a wonderful job. We are so happy we hired Studio Ten to update our home. **Comment from Studio Ten Interior Design Ltd.:** > Thank you so much Sarah!! Hope you are enjoying everything! **★★★★★ — East Vancouver Duplex, Dec. 2020** > Studio Ten is always great to work with. We were showered with compliments on the design and finishes by everyone that walked through this project. Studio Ten delivered everything on time, budget and finishes expectations were met, they didn't exceed their design quote and got everything right; therefore no changes required. This helped us to do a great job and meet our project timeline and budget while delivering an expectational finish product. > The most special thing about this project design is that every time I go to this project both end users thanks me so much for doing a great job and how happy they are that they picked this project. They also say how great the design is and how it feels like a luxury custom built and not a spec house. Thanks Lori for the great job! > > Harp Cheema > Asanti Homes **Comment from Studio Ten Interior Design Ltd.:** > Thank you Harp for this awesome review! We love working with you! **★★★★★ — Lana & Darren Willms, Oct. 2019** > My husband and I hired Studio Ten to help us transform our basement into a gym/spa/tv room. Lori was very easy to work with she listened to our needs and wants and put that to paper. Her drawings of our basement were exactly what we had envisioned. Lori then helped us with the decorating, our basement is absolutely beautiful! We were so pleased the way it turned out we hired Studio Ten again to help us with our his and her closets. My closet is one of my favourite rooms in our house! Thank you so much Lori!!! **Comment from Studio Ten Interior Design Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for this great review Lana! So glad you’re so happy with our work! **★★★★★ — Arlene Hill, Oct. 2019** > Lori has been an absolute joy to work with. She is very down to earth and has a great sense of humor. She is very professional, always on top of everything and can solve any problems very quickly. **★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2019** > Lori and her team at Studio Ten were amazing! we had been planning our kitchen/main floor reno for awhile and she helped us make our vision a reality. Her ideas were creative and gave us the custom kitchen we were looking for without breaking the bank! Thank you Lori - we will definitely be calling you again when we are ready for our next project! > > Donna and Todd **Comment from Studio Ten Interior Design Ltd.:** > Thank you so much for the great review Donna and Todd!

Balances the TV nicely. What size is the TV?** *(in Photo Questions)* TV over fireplace. A: Hello, the size of your TV should be related to the size of the fireplace - TV should be a bit less in width than the fireplace opening.
