Design services range from one room redesigns to newly built custom homes. Michele of Miccaro Designs offers clients both complete turnkey solutions, cost-effective design consultations and various services to meet "YOUR" needs. Michele works comfortably across a range of styles but leans toward the classic but with a modern twist of what's current. She believes that good design can be achieved in every home, at every level, in any neighborhood and your home can be beautiful and comfortable, regardless of budget or square footage. It's all about the function ability and harmony within the personal spaces. The goal is to help clients achieve their vision and creatively inject personal details that transform a space into something exclusive, "HOME". It's a word that means different things to different people, but for me home means comfort, security, respite and love. I was inspired at a young age by the distinctive Mediterranean styled home I grew up in and my love of design was sparked by my mother who invited me to redesign a powder room as a teen. From that moment forward, I was hooked. It was just a matter of time before my creativity found fruition in my own design firm. I love the creative atmosphere that residential interior design offers me. I'm also a real people person, so I truly enjoy the collaborative process that happens between my clients and my trusted trades that invest their talents into the various projects. ### 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 - Home Office Design & Construction - Custom Built-ins - Floor Plans - Playroom Design - Project Management - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Furniture - Laundry Room Design - Mudroom Design - Nursery Design - Custom Blinds & Shades - Custom Home Bars - Closet Design - Universal Design - 3D Rendering - Basement Design - Custom Bookcases - Custom Walk-in Closets - Custom Entertainment Centers - Sunroom Design & Construction - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Home Theater Design - Wine Cellar Design - Custom Shelving - Custom Pantries - Downsizing - Green Building - Energy-Efficient Homes - Kitchen Remodeling - Landscape Design - CAD Drawings 2D - Design board - Fixture purchase - Layout - Materials and Finishes Selection - Millwork - Outdoor Living ### Areas Served - Burnaby - Coal Harbour - Coquitlam - Deep Cove - Fishermans Cove - Hastings-Sunrise - Hollyburn - Kitsilano - Lions Bay - Lynn Creek - New Westminster - North Burnaby - North Vancouver - Vancouver - West Vancouver - Whytecliff - Yaletown ### Typical Job Cost CAD 10,000 - CAD 3,000,000 New Construction & Renovations: 30,000 to $3,000,000.

We are still in the process of working with Michele as she guides us through the overwhelming task of choosing finishes related to the rebuild of our apartment after a fire in the building. Michele listens, she understands who we are, and she doesn't push us into anything that she knows doesn't reflect who we are. Yet, for example, she is also very concise and clear about design elements when helping us to decide which tile to choose. She has also equipped us to know what to look for, and what to ask for, when heading out to view tiles etc. on our own. What originally felt overwhelming, at a stressful time in our lives, has become we-can-do with Michele's direction and input. Like our friends, we strongly recommend Michele. As the work is still in process we don't, as yet, have any project photos to share. **Comment from Miccaro Designs/Interiors by Michele:** > Hi Brenda, > You both have gone through so much loosing your home to a fire. I'm pleased that I am able to make what is clearly an overwhelming & challenging time for you, less stressful as you move ahead with the many decisions needed to be made. The goal is to get you back into your shiny, new condo that personally embraces you each & every time you walk through the front door! You are almost there & just a few more decisions to be made. > When it comes time to move in....what a wonderful & exciting day it will be for your both! > Thank you again for your thoughtful review. Michele **★★★★★ — Yvonne Gerard, May 2020** > We have had the pleasure of working with Michele on a 5100 sq ft home makeover, that was daunting to say the least. Michele was able to break the work down, room by room, giving us sound and expert advice, practical guidance on cost saving ideas, her own set of "tips and tricks", as well as exciting, innovative suggestions, that enhanced our original design plans and got us thinking outside of the box, really making a difference in creating a fantastic and unique look. > > Michele's patience with our indecisiveness and many questions was very supportive, and this gave us the confidence to move forward with the project. Michele was always on time, well organized, and super friendly! > > From overwhelmed to overjoyed, we finally finished! Thank you so much Michele, for a fabulous job! > > I would highly recommend Michele for ANY of your interior design projects! **Comment from Miccaro Designs/Interiors by Michele:** > Hello Yvonne, > Thank you so much for your warm review. I'm so pleased you are happy with my service. > Your home is just beautiful & it is always a pleasure to assist you & Bob. I also enjoy hearing about all the headway & homework you are doing behind the scenes. Renovations take patience & thoughtful, well planned execution on both the designers part but also the clients. Yes...there are some "tips & tricks" of this trade...and being able to share the info is very satisfying for both parties. Helping to making your home a reflection of you personally & making sure it meets your lifestyle on a daily basis is the what it's all about. Thanks once again for sharing Yvonne. > Kind Regards, > Michele **★★★★★ — HU-525138685, April 2020** > I have used Michele on a number of my home Reno’s over the past 10 yrs. I can’t say enough about here Professionalism, overall project knowledge and her creativity!! On top of that she genuinely loves her job and cares about her clients! It is ALWAYS a great experience working with her. > > Heather Bellerive **Comment from Miccaro Designs/Interiors by Michele:** > Hey Heather, > Always a pleasure assisting you with your home projects. I appreciate all the laughter that comes along with it too! So much FUN! Thank you for your kind review. Cheers...Michele **★★★★★ — Lisa Caswell, April 2020** > Michele of Miccaro Designs is an inspiration and excellent resource to draw on for any interior design project, big or small! We hired Michele to assist us with our North Vancouver condo refresh - more effective use of space and brighter. Our 800 square fit space needed a lift and we wanted to do the sourcing ourselves, and we also wanted to learn from the experience of working with a professional designer. Michele was fantastic! She is a professional with years of experience and the passion that comes from a lifetime of doing something you love. She is generous in her knowledge and resource sharing, timely, flexible and has an impeccable reputation with her suppliers who we used - painters, backsplash, bathroom vanity and IKEA experts. Her process, advice and guidance were tailored to our needs and tastes, and infused with her wisdom and talent. And she’s confident enough to tell when she thinks you need to reconsider an idea or choice and why. We would highly recommend Miccaro Designs! **Comment from Miccaro Designs/Interiors by Michele:** > Hello again Lisa, > Many, many thanks for your kind review. I do LOVE what I do & I LOVE working with people. Our home is so very important to us all & having the opportunity to assist my clients make their personal space special to them is a real joy. > Thank you for sharing your experience. All the best to you & Les. Michele **★★★★★ — HU-115147824, April 2020** > Michelle helped me coordinate flooring, floor and bathroom wall tiles, backsplash, fireplace tile and confirm my cabinet and quartz selection. > I had a good start on my own but really needed a professional opinion with final decision making. > Paint selection to come next. > I now feel confident my home restoration will look and feel perfect. **Comment from Miccaro Designs/Interiors by Michele:** > Thanks so much for your review Judy, > It will be a wonderful day indeed when you finally get back into your new & refreshed home, > See you soon. Michele **★★★★★ — JoAndrea Hoegg, April 2020** > I hired Michele to help with a few renovations, some landscape/patio design, and interior design choices for my new home. My experience was extremely positive. She took the time to figure out what would for me, suggesting a range of options that maximized the value I was getting for my budget. She was always positive and understanding, even when I repeatedly changed my mind about what I wanted. She made sure we got it right and I love the final product! Michele is a wonderful person and an absolute pleasure to work with! **Comment from Miccaro Designs/Interiors by Michele:** > Hello Joey. > Thank you kindly for your review. It was great FUN...to assist you with your home decor upgrades. > I look forward to our paths crossing again soon. Cheers! **★★★★★ — Lesley Birtles, Dec. 2019** > We required some design suggestions for our upcoming diy upgrades and Michele provided just that! > Her guidance was critical in providing us with a vision & setting us up on the right path. **Comment from Miccaro Designs/Interiors by Michele:** > Thank you Lesley, > I was happy to help. Have fun with you projects. Remember I'm only a call away if you have any further questions as you move forward. > Kind Regards, > Michele **★★★★★ — Laya Behbahani, Nov. 2019** > Michele is one of the most honest, kind, informative and amazingly helpful people I've met! She provided so much care and attention even during the consultation period that I would've happily secured her expertise for a project of any caliber, time and again if my project needed a designer. She spoke in lay terms which was incredibly easy to understand and was very realistic and positive throughout the consultation process. I can't recommend Michele enough! **Comment from Miccaro Designs/Interiors by Michele:** > Hello Leya, > Thank you for your kind words, I do appreciate it. I was happy to assist you to the best of my ability even though a designer was not needed for your current project. > Perhaps we can collaborate on a project you may having coming in the near future. > Again, all the best with this project. > Kind regards, > Michele > Miccaro Designs **★★★★★ — Wanda Salewski, Nov. 2018** > We worked with Michele on a living room update project. She was personable, down to earth, and offered many useful suggestions for our space that we had not even considered. Michele responded quickly to our request for a consult as we wanted to have our living room complete by Christmas. We began on September 30, 2018, and asked her to work within a $5,000 budget. Michele respected our budget and never tried to promote items that were too costly. In fact, she made suggestions of where we could shop to save money. > > To begin with, we sent her photos of our living room so that she could come prepared for our first consultation. Prepared she was and skilled at marrying my husband's vision and my own which initially appeared to be very different. Michele was able to identify the "good bones" in our living room, thereby saving us money, and made suggestions that appealed to my husband and me. As we were talking, she googled photos of what type of furniture might suit our new look and later that day, we purchased the chairs and bench that she had suggested. Michele has a great eye for colour and was easily able to sort through the many fabric samples that we had for a couch and loveseat. The two pieces are in our living room now and we love them. > > Although Michele came to our home only once and only charged us for that one visit, I have emailed and called her on numerous occasions for advice on rugs, lamps and what to do with a too long couch that could not fit through the door. By the way, we did eventually get the couch into the room and Michele was right, there was lots of space for it. I'm glad we took her advice and that my husband and son-in-law persevered. The size of the couch was perfect for our space. As our living room is still a work in progress, I'm sure that I will continue to have many more questions for Michele that she will help me with. > > I value her opinion and feel that she respects ours. Michele is professional with a depth of knowledge and an eye for design that were instrumental in helping us create our vision. **★★★★★ — Adam, Jan. 2018** > Michelle was great to work with. She is very open minded and easy to get along with. Her idea's fit great in the area we had to work with. Look forward to working with her again in the future. **★★★★★ — mahara\_allbrett, Jan. 2018** > Michelle really knows how to communicate with a contractor. She understands their work and was both warm and professional in interacting with mine. That was very helpful. > She will also be assertive if services are not provided in a timely manner. That saved me a lot of work. Michelle is very nice to work with, is friendly and has a sense of humour. She also tolerated my frequent messaging with photos, had a good list of resources and saved me from making some costly mistakes. She is an experienced Interior Designer and that shows. I learned a lot from her and will use her again in future. > She is reasonably priced as well. **★★★★★ — Catherine King, Dec. 2016** > Michele has been a dream to work with - constantly coming up with solutions in a creative and functional way but always mindful of our budget. Her expertise, skill, and talent are simply amazing and I would recommend Michele to anyone starting a project - big or small. Simply stated: her input is invaluable!!! > > Looking forward to working with Michele on our next project! ## Selected projects - ["Twin" Penthouses Transformed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/twin-penthouses-transformed-pj-vj~760242) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 54 - Description: This penthouse was once 2 "Twin" penthouses customized to make one large family home that allowed for space to entertain family & friends.

A: Hello, Thank you for reaching out. The material used on the fireplace face is a porcelain tile with a curved detail. It was purchased in Vancouver at C & S Tile & Stone in Vancouver, B.C. in Jan. 2016. It was a "special Order" product from Italy. (Code: APEV-NGSC15, Gray, "Nanoevolution Straito Curve) I just checked & unfortunately it is no longer available. Sorry for the bad news. Thank you kindly for your inquiry....if I can be of further assistance let me know. All the best with you future project.

Marque, et et référence dans la marque. Cordialement Pascal A: Hello Pascal, I'm sorry...I do not speak French. I do not know what you are asking. Thank you...Michele **Q: Love the front door. Where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me where to purchase this front door? A: Hello Paul, Thank you for your question. My apologies for the late reply. The front doors where already in place when my client moved in, so unfortunately I do not know the company that supplied then. However, I'm sure if you use this photo to show a door manufacturer they would be able to reproduce them quite easily for you. Good luck with it. Kind Regards, Michele Miccaro Designs **Q: What kind of wood was used?** *(in Photo Questions)* This house is so gorgeous. I love the two wooden garage doors. My husband and I are looking into new garage doors for our house. https://www.easylift.com.au/garage-doors A: Hello Ashley, Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately this home was already built & I was hired to upgrade the lighting fixtures, interior furnishings & decor & some additional landscaping. This home is in the Palm Springs area, however I am located in Vancouver, Canada so I am not furmiliar with the locale suppliers there. Perhaps google for garage door suppliers in the area for a product that is similar to these ones. Wished I could help further. Best of luck. Cheers...Michele **Q: What wood was used?** *(in Photo Questions)* I like the look of these wooden garage doors. They are very unique and look southwestern. My husband and I are looking for a garage door like this for our hosue. http://shankdoor.com/york/ A: Hello Ashley, Thank you for your inquiry. My apologies but my clients bought this home from a developer approx. 5 years ago & the upgrade we did were on the interior finishes & decor. I understand the contracting company is no longer in business, so I don't know the answer to your question. Are you in the Palm Springs area? I can recommend the contractor we used for the updates & he may be able to offer you guidance as to where you can source similar doors in the proximity. Let me know. Kind Regards, Michele Miccaro Designs **Q: Were the costs of the cabinets and appliances...** *(in Photo Questions)* ... and flooring included in the renovation cost as indicated on Houzz? Did the kitchen have a pass-through before the renovation or was it created by your contracted tradespeople? You are first on my list of renovator/designers, Michele. Thank you for looking at my previous condo possibles. I have now purchased a condo and am pondering the a kitchen renovation, researching how much a cost-conscious renovation would be. Thank you, Gale Leitch A: Hi Gale, Nice to hear from you! Congrats on your condo purchase..."Happiness"! The cost of this kitchen reno stated on the Houzz project profile ($10,000 - $25,000) did not include the appliances. I actually don't know the cost of the appliances since the clients looked after this component of the reno by themselves. It included the cabs, counter, floor & splash. The cut out or pass through in the wall was there prior to the reno. It made sense to keep it since the kitchen is small & the pass through allowed light to come into the kitchen from the dining room windows & sliding door & to keep it visually from getting to dark & closed in...especially with the dark cabinets incorporated. I hope that helps you Gale. Best of luck moving forward with your new castle. Kind Regards, Michele Miccaro Designs --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-11.*
