**★★★★★ — Bev D, March 2021**

> If you’re hesitating about whether to contact Karan for help - do not hesitate!  She is amazing!  I originally reached out to her for paint color guidance and pretty much bombarded her with other questions as soon as she walked through my door.  She had a answer for everything! And eased my mind about a lot of things I was stressing over.  I’m planning on working with Karan going forward as I move through my home renovation.  She is a lovely person with a great eye for design!

**★★★★★ — HU-189591471, March 2021**

> After agonizing over my staircase in our modern farmhouse Karan helped me to make it look amazing thanks !  She also helped us with the colours for our house and she thought outside the box

**★★★★★ — Penny, Nov. 2020**

> My house was in dire need of a new paint job however I couldn’t get myself to start the job because I had no idea what colour scheme to pick. Karan picked the perfect colours and now I feel like my house is new again. Next project the basement! looking forward to working with Karan on finally finishing that space. She’s kind easy to work with and knows her stuff!

**★★★★★ — Tricia & Mike Urbshott, Nov. 2020**

> Karan was such a valuable part of building our dream home that we are raising our family in. From initial plans to final touches and landscaping she consultanted on our self build. Our home turned out beautiful! Through the ups and downs of the construction, and so many decisions to make she was always available to us. Super dependable, always worked within our budget for selections and was just great to work with overall. I would highly recommend her to anyone

**★★★★★ — Sheri Moodie, March 2020**

> I absolutely loved working with Karan! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.  Karan's ideas were amazing and she created a living room that we love!

**Comment from Designs by Karan:**

> Thank you so much Sheri!  I loved working with you and your family and am so glad you continue to enjoy the space.

**★★★★★ — HU-107622566, Oct. 2019**

> Inside out Designs oversaw and designed our Kitchen, Dining and Living room renovation.  Karan consulted with us throughout the entire process to insure that we were happy with the transformation. We love our new kitchen cabinets, fireplace, built-ins, hardwood floors, staircase.and decor.  We highly recommend Inside Out Designs.

**Comment from Designs by Karan:**

**★★★★★ — Leslie Saeta, Oct. 2019**

> Karan is so talented! Her designs are so creative and working with her has been a fabulous experience. I highly recommend her as an interior designer.

**★★★★★ — HU-396746932, Oct. 2019**

> I’ve known Karan through Instagram for over four years.  Her account is filled with inspirational renovations of her past home and her most recent home. She’s always so supportive and kind within the Instagram community and would not hesitate to hire her for design services.  She’s a joy to work with.

**★★★★★ — Shirley Clement, Oct. 2019**

> We built a new home in 2016 which is a full open concept. We did not buy any new furnishings and the new house did not feel like a home. With Karan’s design and suggestions we now feel like it is our home. With the addition of a fireplace as a focal point in the great room and some repurposed and lighter toned furnishings we finally feel like this is our “home” and reflects our likes for coziness and comfort. With focal points it doesn’t feel like just one big room. We really benefited from Karan’s professional direction. We used local trades for the installation of our fireplace and the addition of a window. We purchased some used furniture finds which we refinished ourselves. Overall we are very pleased with the help we received from Karan and continue to get new ideas from her blog and especially the changes she is incorporating in her new home. Ours is still an ongoing project as we continue to incorporate Karan’s suggestions.

**★★★★★ — CG Home Interiors, Oct. 2019**

> Karan's eye for design, organization and professionalism are unparalleled. She truly cares about her clients and helps ensure the design is functional yet stylish. I would recommend her without hesitation.

**★★★★ — amandavanleeuwen, Nov. 2017**

> Karan was enjoyable to work with and had our contractor stick not only to our time frame but on budget too.  The colours she picked for our home were brilliant and love walking into our space every time, everyday.

**Comment from Designs by Karan:**

> I very much enjoyed working with you and your hubby to create your dream home out of his families home.  The kitchen design I did for you remains one of my favourites.   Thank you for letting me be a part of creating your home.
> Karan
