She had great insights to lighting, hardwood and other aspects we would have never thought about. > > With her opinions and guidance, I was able to relax about the decisions being made and although the renovation process was stressful, it was a lot less stressful with Natalie around. > > She responds to my questions promptly and is always so positive about the process even when there is a roadblock (or two). > > I cannot say enough good things about Natalie Chong and Nest Design Studio. **★★★★★ — Bill Knowlton, Nov. 2018** > I wanted a complete personalization of a high-end condo in West end Toronto. Nest supplied overall concept and then created the look through a new paint palette, careful purchase of stock items, custom made furniture, bathroom vanities and credenza **★★★★★ — Jaclyn Quirt, Nov. 2018** > Natalie was able to beautifully decorate our new house on very short timeline! We are extremely happy with the results and would never have been able to do it on our own. She was very available to us during that time and accommodated our busy schedules. **★★★★★ — L Newton, Nov. 2018** > Natalie is an absolute joy with which to work. She has updated the much of our home - living room, dining room, family room, foyer, kitchen, and master bedroom. EVERY SINGLE PERSON who walks in our front door immediately raves about our living room. If they see the rest of the house, it earns rave reviews as well. She sourced new furniture and beautifully combined it with existing pieces. She updated our paint colours, window treatments, rugs, hardware, headboard.... She has very professional, talented contacts to take care of window treatments, reupholstering, framing etc. She is pleasant, efficient, prompt, and talented. **★★★★★ — Julia Young, Nov. 2018** > I met Natalie a couple of years ago....I wanted to "refresh" the look of our main floor living/dining area. I was just finishing a second floor bathroom reno when I hooked up with Natalie and wished that I had her help from the very beginning. Since that time, I've gone on to renovate the third floor of our house which included doubling the size of the bathroom and replacing all the floors. > I found it quite overwhelming to go into the stores ... too many choices! Natalie was able to steer me in the right direction and keep me focused. Natalie has always been professional, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. I would totally recommend using Natalie regardless of the size of job. I didn't realize how difficult it can be just deciding how many lights in a bathroom, where should they go? Her insight goes a long way ... thanks Natalie ... I couldn't have done it without you! **★★★★★ — Rita Choi, Nov. 2018** > Natalie was a pleasure to work with! Her expertise, patience and guidance through the whole process provided us with peace of mind and confidence that we would love the finished product. She has a keen eye for detail, amazing style but is also respectful of the direction her clients want to take. In addition, she was able to expertly navigate between my husband and I who have very different tastes! In the end, we were both very happy with the outcome! We highly recommend working with Natalie! **★★★★★ — shawna0409, April 2017** > Natalie has been amazing to work with. I had a budget, which she was happy to work with and I couldn't believe how well she incorporated my style. I tried for months to finish my main floor, but kept returning stuff because it didn't feel right. Just after a couple of weeks working with Natalie I can't believe how good I feel in my space. I should have called her earlier and not wasted so much time trying to do it on my own. She is very professional and a dream to work with - thank you!! **★★★★★ — ckoziskie, July 2016** > Natalie has been great to work with and the results have surpassed expectations. She accommodated our wishes, respected our budget, and made recommendations that delivered both great style and superior function to our project. Highly recommended. **★★★★★ — cazurxoo, July 2016** > I can't recommend Natalie Chong more; her taste is impeccable; she has an innate ability to balance items, colours, textures in such a way that the end result looks very natural, never overdone. When we went shopping she was chosing items that had no sense for me but once put together, everything looked amazing. I had asked her if she uses Feng Shui principles and she said no; it seems to come naturally to her. She puts lots of time to get to know her clients; she is very resourceful and time/budget conscious and reliable. When she says she will call you, she calls. For my project, she had to start everything from scratch and it was not easy: a basement in a weird shape. I needed a living room and a bedroom for my son; I wanted a place that would feel homey on a budget. She truly made it happen and our lives have truly changed for the better; it is a pleasure to come home. **★★★★★ — ericalepp, July 2016** > Natalie was very helpful in adding some small updates that had big impact in our kitchen/dining room. We only used her for a some small updates to spruce up our room, but were very happy with her work and still reference all her ideas. **Comment from Nest Design Studio:** > Thank you so much for taking this time to write a review! It is much appreciated and hope we can finish what we started! **★★★★★ — Jenn Figtree, June 2016** > Natalie helped me with a 'refresh' in my home a few years ago (new lights, paint colours, rugs, etc). She is now helping me with our renovation. > She has an excellent eye and is great to work with. She's very responsive and really helps keep you on track. > Would 100% recommend her. **Comment from Nest Design Studio:** > Thank you SO much for this review! I really appreciate you taking the time to write such lovely things. Cannot wait to see what we create for your new home! **★★★★★ — davecarew, Dec. 2015** > Natalie and Nest Design Studio have been a pleasure to work with on my condo redesign. After several initial meetings where we set the vision for the project, Natalie worked up options for everything from paint colours to light fixtures and indoor/outdoor furniture. I took a hand-off approach and was happy to let Natalie run with things. Together with her great team of professional contractors, Natalie has executed the project as well as I could have hoped for. > > Natalie has a real knack for bringing out the best in a space while remaining true to her client's vision. Highly recommended. **Comment from Nest Design Studio:** > Thank you SO much for this great review. Your project is one of my favourites and I am so glad you are thrilled with the result. > > Thank you for taking the time to write this, it is much appreciated! ## Selected projects - [Empire Condo \| Featured on HGTV & House and Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/empire-condo-featured-on-hgtv-and-house-and-home-pj-vj~2473930) - Location: Oakville, ON - Photos: 30 - Description: Heidi Lau Photography - [Liberty Village Bachelor Pad \| Featured on HGTV, Homesense & House and Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/liberty-village-bachelor-pad-featured-on-hgtv-homesense-and-house-and-home-pj-vj~2473921) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: Heidi Lau Photography - [Muskoka Beach Cottage \| Featured in Style At Home's July 2015 Issue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/muskoka-beach-cottage-featured-in-style-at-home-s-july-2015-issue-pj-vj~660224) - Location: Muskoka, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: This cottage was designed for a family of 5 that is definitely growing as each year passes.

He knew he wanted his 1,500-square-foot two bedroom, two bathroom home to have the sophistication of a boutique hotel ... taken up a notch. “My goal was to create a space that has a similar hip and trendy feel that you’d find in one of the many W Hotels around the world,” he says. - [Condo \| Featured in Style At Home's March 2016 Issue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/condo-featured-in-style-at-home-s-march-2016-issue-pj-vj~1633916) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Thompson Residences Bachelor Penthouse Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thompson-residences-bachelor-penthouse-suite-pj-vj~91285) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 8 - Description: This client had a large space to work with and definitely wanted something to reflect his lifestyle. With custom details in order we created a space that he could not only entertain but was comfortable enough and personal enough to live in. Modern elegance was achieved with an incredibly large sectional and lounge, along with a 10 seater dining room table and a designer chandelier. This space was nothing short of what you can do with a large space and a good sized budget. \*Echo1 Photography - [The Kingsway Family Games Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-kingsway-family-games-room-pj-vj~454387) - Location: Etobicoke, ON - Photos: 8 - Description: This family wanted a space where their teenagers could enjoy just as much as the adults. They purchased the ping pong table first, and then realized that they needed us to help them make their space feel less like a ping pong hall, and more like a games room. We started with the idea that this was a new space and we had a fresh slate to work with. Trying not to avoid the overwhelming classic green ping pong surface we decided to take it up a notch. Introducing classic colours with a slight twist… - [The Hudson](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-hudson-pj-vj~1202665) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Cityplace Condo \| Featured on The Everygirl Website](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cityplace-condo-featured-on-the-everygirl-website-pj-vj~706586) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 22 - Description: This condo was designed for a couple in downtown Toronto. Made to appeal to both genders, we tried to create something that was classic, elegant and great for entertaining or relaxing. Classic details with a younger twist. Less expensive items can be a challenge, but also a huge advantage as it helps push us to be more creative with how we spend our money. For two young professionals, things that would allow them to live in a great space but also not break the bank on smaller items was a big dea… - [The Kingsway Vintage Modern Residence \| Featured in Toronto Home Magazine](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-kingsway-vintage-modern-residence-featured-in-toronto-home-magazine-pj-vj~93649) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 18 - Description: Moving from a much smaller home this family was in the market for not only a new house but almost new everything.

Beachy, modern and livable is just how we envisioned the space. \*Echo 1 Photography - [Vaughn Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vaughn-home-pj-vj~454397) - Location: Vaughn, ON - Photos: 12 - Description: A wonderful family home that needed an update. This family bought a subdivision home about 13 years ago, and felt that it was in dire need of an update. With the idea of a more modern approach we took this house to the next level. Starting with the bathrooms, laundry room and bedrooms we finished half of the house. The result was that half of the house looks completely different from the rest. Modern, transitional and polished. Now the homeowner is itching to change the rest! Our next step is to… - [Mad Men Bachelor Pad](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mad-men-bachelor-pad-pj-vj~1182022) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: This condo was created with a serious love for the Mad Men style.

The client was a 20 something male, working in the financial district, “a suit”, having specific taste, things that were tailored was very important. The Manhattan Apartment Sofa from Urban Barn was the perfect addition to the condo. Roomy enough to sit two people comfortably, or even for one person to crash on for the night.
