### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Randall's, Nov. 2016**

> Excellent team to work with.  Gail and Paulette are very professional in their approach to business and we appreciate our relationship with them.

**★★★★★ — Pam Craig, Sept. 2015**

> I have been working together with Menage Interiors on a couple of jobs over the past few months. The experience has been tremendous!
> I have mainly been providing drafting services, but in doing so I have met many of her trades including her granite installers, carpenters, electrician, plumber and general contractors.
> Her personality is warm and friendly - You can tell that her clients really enjoy working with her.
> Trades go out of their way to make sure that her projects are taken care of properly and top notch quality is provided.
> Gail has excellent design skills, amazing relationships with trades and a real eye for great style.
> I hope that we will work together on many projects yet to come. :)

**★★★★★ — Scott Leslie, Jan. 2015**

> Menage Interiors have done a number of projects for us since we bought our new home.  They helped us select all of our window treatments which we bought through them.  Their advice was spot on and we are very happy with the results.  The biggest project was the design and installation of a wall of built-in shelves and drawers for our master bedroom.  Gail and Paulette were very attentive during the design process, providing a number of options and adapting to our comments.  The installation by Shaun was very professionally done.  The project was finished ahead of schedule and within budget.  I'm sure we will be using Menage Interiors for future projects.

**Comment from Menage Interiors:**

> This is a beautiful finishing piece in your stunning home!  What a pleasure to work with you both on this project!  WOW!!!

**★★★★★ — Sharon Forbes, Nov. 2014**

> I hired Ménage Interiors to help design our new master suite including our custom closet and ensuite bathroom. They also provided some input on finishing our basement including a wet bar design.
>
> Having Menage provide design services for us proved to be some of the best money we could have spent on this renovation project.  Not only were they lovely people to work with who were very respectful of our budget and timeline but they came up with some beautiful recommendations that will truly make our home special.
>
> We appreciated that they work with professional trades as well so that their designs come to fruition. They were able to recommend suppliers and skilled trades to us and apply their designer discount.
>
> Having such detailed drawings and designs meant when our project started there were very few change orders and a clear direction for general contractor to work toward. This in and of itself paid for their services.
>
> I would highly recommend their services for both large and small projects.

**Comment from Menage Interiors:**

> It has been a true pleasure to work with you and your growing family :) on this project and to see the design and details come together so beautifully for you all!  To think that basement with the trenched out concrete could look so fabulous after Karmany got in there… and to see your little man walking around in such a great space… priceless!  Thanks for the kind words!  We sure can't wait to see it all come together in a few more weeks!!!!

**Comment from Menage Interiors:**

> Such a pleasure to work with you Cynthia!!  Thanks for the kind words and we hope to work with you again in the future!!

**★★★★★ — jomarley8, Nov. 2014**

> Absolute pleasure to work with these ladies.  Very professional and warm while getting jobs done in a timely "fashion" ;)  Our company has been providing Menage Interior with electrical services for five years now and we always look forward to doing business with them!

**★★★★★ — Maria Grant, Oct. 2014**

> We haven't yet hired Gail and Paulette but we plan to!  Have had one consultation and Gail was highly knowledgeable, professional and just overall terrific.  I've seen work she's done for other people and it's first class.

**★★★★★ — Enrico Sartor-Séguin, Sept. 2014**

> Menage Interiors is by far the very best in the business. They have an exquisite and keen eye for detail. They also have a clear understanding of the importance for maintaining strong sight-lines, in addition to, ensuring that other key design principles, such as cohesiveness within a space, is established. Menage also is excellent at highlighting the best "selling" features within your space. They are efficient and clever problem-solvers. I know that I can count on them to always deliver innovative ideas which reflect my own style, in addition to an infusion of their own intuitive flare. I recommend their services to everyone I know who requires interior decorating and renovation ideas. You MUST let them into your home! It is a privilege to be witness to how they can transform an old, weathered space into a stunning place you can be proud to call home.

**★★★★★ — freshstartkp, June 2014**

> Menage Interiors came highly recommended by a friend.  They did not disappoint.  Gail and Paulette work as a great team with a lot of design experience.  My regular home was transformed into a modern work of art!  The subtle decor and design suggestions had a huge impact and we couldn't have achieved much of this look without them!

**Comment from Menage Interiors:**

> Such a pleasure working with you freshstartkp :) - can't wait to see the kid's rooms with their fun and funky colours and all the new details to the living room and dining room!   We are certain that all our combined ideas will make that new house YOUR stunning new home!!!  Stay tuned for photos!!!

**★★★★★ — Lisa Belanger - Mortgage Brokers Ottawa, May 2014**

> Absolutely top notch!  My home was completely transformed by the recommendations made by Menage Interiors and I couldn't be happier.  All of my friends and neighbours have been coming by to see the transformation and many have either already called them or planning to do so in the near future.  The value of my home was easily increased by $40k just from the changes I made based on the professional consult with Menage Interiors.
>
> I would, have and do highly recommend Menage Interiors for any home decor/renovation/remodel projects.

**Comment from Menage Interiors:**

> Thanks so much Lisa for such a wonderful review and your referrals!!

**★★★★★ — morganmacqu, May 2014**

> Gail has done a fabulous job on a number our of homes - from a bespoke fireplace mantel and surround to a completely remodelled designer kitchen - she can do it all! Her classic done modern tastes, attention to detail combined with her innovative and practical ideas for optimizing small spaces really differentiates her as a designer. Gail's work is something you want to come home to, as well as show off! Highly recommended!!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Wall Color** *(in Photo Questions)*

what is the paint brand and color of the walls?

A: The colour in this room is Benjamin Moore AF-680 Wish in Regal Ulti-Matte

**Q: Paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please provide me with the paint color manufacturer and the reference number? Thank you

A: Hello, 
Thanks you for reviewing one of our projects on Houzz. The colour on the dining room wall is PPG 540-4 Silver Bells, washable flat finish.  We recommend painting a small canvas with a sample  Silver Bell or glue together a number of samples. This will ensure it matches the items in your room. Colours can look very different depending on lighting, flooring, rugs and furniture.  Good luck.

**Q: Cabinet hardware** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love the cabinet hardware!! Do you know the brand?

A: Thank you for following Menage Interiors on Houzz. The supplier was Schaub Hardware.  The  pulls, library style crescent shaped are still available. The  oval backplates and knobs are not.  However it you google "oval backplates and knobs you will find some options  but I could not find the same quality as the Schaub hardware.  Check out LeeValley Hardware for a similar look and good quality.  Good Luck

**Q: Can you please tell me the color of the hardware & faucet?  Thank you!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi!
The colour of the hardware and faucet is oil brushed bronze.

**Q: What is the ceiling in this photo?  How did you make it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The ceiling  was an old drop ceiling with tiles before, the lighting remained the same.  I had a contractor 1.  Build the cross beams and added bead board in between.

**Q: where did you get the bar chairs** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Have A Seat. ISA is the company .
