I hired her to help me design a suite and she completed everything from window coverings to paint colours, furniture selection to decor. She truly makes any project come together with ease! Nancy took me to product showrooms that included flooring, countertops, paint, home furnishings and decor. I did not feel overwhelmed at all as she would piece products together right before my eyes! I am so happy with everything she's designed and working with her is wonderful! Very impressed with her professional touch in everything she is involved with. **Comment from Urban Aesthetics:** > Thank you, Candace. It was a pleasure to work with you on the design of your suite. **★★★★★ — Cantu Bathrooms & Hardware, Sept. 2015** > We always look forward to working with you and having you visit us here at the Vancouver showroom! We look forward to working with you on many more projects in the future **★★★★★ — delorajean2003, Aug. 2015** > I have used Nancy DeVries of Urban Aesthetics on many decorating endeavours. She has a wonderful sense of colour and style and brings her expertise to a very personal level. I live in an old heritage home and Nancy understands the need to renovate and decorate in keeping with the character of the house but bringing in a modern feel. She first helped me choose colours for my living room and foyer and made suggestion I would never have considered. Recently she helped me with my kitchen renovation. We were not gutting the room so she was able to help me decide what should stay and what should go. I had a crisis in the midst of the reno and she was happy to drop in and put my mind at ease. She has also helped me on line. Nancy's personality puts one at ease and her knowledge and skills are exemplary. I would highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Exit Stage Right, Aug. 2015** > Nancy is an amazing design professional. I have collaborated with Nancy on several projects. Although I'm a professional home stager, I will hire out design work to Nancy. Nancy has an incredible amount of patience and common sense. and knows how to encourage clients to make the right decision when it comes to colours, hard finishes, window treatments etc. I don't hesitate in recommending my clients to Nancy as I know they will be thrilled with the results. **★★★★★ — Heddy Bing, Aug. 2015** > I am an Interior Decorator specializing in Retail Design work. When I needed Blinds for my own home I immediately called Nancy, as this was not my expertise. The blinds are beautiful, and perfect. She is professional in every way. Good product knowledge , good product...and personable. **★★★★★ — Colours To Call Home, Feb. 2015** > Nancy and I have collaborated on several projects. Her eye for colour, detail and resolve to provide her customers with exactly the right product and look for their needs and wants is exemplary. Having witnessed an occasion when a major company was unable to provide the ordered products for several of her clients, Nancy handled the difficult situation with calm and determination. She sourced new fabrics in an extremely timely manner so as to not let her clients down - not an easy task! I thoroughly enjoy working with Nancy and would not hesitate to recommend Urban Aesthetics as your go-to decorating company. **★★★★★ — cdalton15, Feb. 2015** > We decided to complete the basement in our newly built home and felt a bit overwhelmed as to how to piece it together. We brought Nancy in from Urban Aesthetics to help out. The basement consists of a one bedroom + den rental suite, a media/family room and a spa-like bathroom! I literally would have been lost without Nancy. She was able to put together a look that suited our taste exactly and came up with some ideas that we would never have dreamed of. The basement is gorgeous and we were so thrilled with Nancy's knowledge and suggestions. She was very thorough, on-time and professional. She kept everything with-in or under budget and was always willing to speak directly with our contractor and other trades to make things happen. I highly recommend using Urban Aesthetics when doing any project - big or small! It made all the difference and we are so happy with the end result! **★★★★★ — tarablanchet, Jan. 2015** > Nancy is always extremely professional and friendly. When I recommend her to clients I know they'll receive fabulous ideas and solutions. She's easy to work with and always communicates quickly. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. **★★★★ — Michael Thorne, Jan. 2014** > Nancy is very professional and creative. We hired her to provide a new colour palette for our home and she was able to integrate our wishes with the realities of the relatively fixed elements of the house (flooring, fireplace, open kitchen concept, etc.) to give us a new look and feel. **★★★★★ — vaughn1001, Aug. 2013** > Urban Aesthetics provided colour consultation and window blind consultation/installation for our 1948 East Vancouver home. > > In both cases we were impressed with the process and outcome resulting from our consultation with Nancy Devries. Nancy succeeded in assessing our personal tastes and combining that with her professional opinion on what best suited our needs (not an easy task). As a result, we ended up with colours that are appropriate for the space that we enjoy on a daily basis. Regarding blinds, Nancy took a lot of stress away from the decision making process. She was able to quickly narrow down the seemingly endless choices of window covering options to a motorized, remotely controlled blind that really suits the room it was installed in. We are very happy with the personal, professional service that Nancy provided. Working with Nancy you quickly get a sense that the final result really matters to her! **★★★★★ — Karnak Pro Builders, Aug. 2013** > We have worked with Nancy of Urban Aesthetics on a few projects now and we love her eye for detail and the respect she shows the client. She has a gift of being able to visualize and help others see what she is seeing. It's that unique quality that always has us calling Nancy when a client is stuck on design decisions. We would highly recommend Urban Aesthetics. **★★★★★ — Kara Kenno, July 2013** > Nancy DeVries has been my interior decorator for many years now. When we purchased our new home in 2011 it was a 50's bungalow in need of a major facelift. Nancy helped in selecting our paint colors, blinds, furniture and furniture layout. Her knowledge on items like type of paint, size of furniture and styles of blinds is extensive. The time saved us researching these types of things was huge. She was instrumental in turning our home into a place which now reflects who we are as a family, she took the time to get to know us and it shows. Nancy is always kind, friendly and extremely easy to work with. I would recommenced Nancy to anyone needing help with transforming any space big or small. ## Selected projects - [Ensuite renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ensuite-renovation-pj-vj~1173405) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: From the 60's to 2015.

Thanks. A: I did not choose this wall colour but I found out it is Benjamin Moore 1411 North Cascades. **Q: color of silhouettes** *(in Photo Questions)* What color are the silhouettes? Picket white ? A: Hi Joe, the colour is Linen Flirt from the Silhouette collection. **Q: Could you give the source for the pillows and throw?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The throw and pillows were from another show suite and was not purchased by my company. **Q: Bathroom window** *(in Design Dilemma)* My 1930's home has a textured fixed window in the tub/shower that measures approximately 4 1/2 ft x4 1/2 ft. What can I replace it with that would allow for ventilation and better privacy? I saw a picture of a glass block window with a horizontal window that opens across the top portion that may fit that area. My guess is that it would be expensive, but would it be less than doing exterior work to accomodate a smaller window? I welcome your help! A: I would suggest side by side double vertical hung windows that slides open up or down. You can request that the bottom portion be frosted for privacy while keeping the top portion clear glass if having a view of the sky is a desire. **Q: Need help deciding!!** *(in Design Dilemma)* What color cabinets and counters would you recommend for my kitchen renovation? The paint color is Sherwin Williams Cay and the floor is gray. Thanks for your advice!! A: Based on the colour of your floor tile, the darker cabinet works best with that. I agree with Amanda that the wall colour is not a permanent colour fixture so don't let that be the deciding factor in your choices of long term materials. As for your counter top colour suggestions, look at quartz materials in colours that are similar to your flooring. Good luck! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
