Founded by Debbie Golub and Amanda Minuk, Design Shop was created as an alternative to traditional interior design studios with a focus on avant garde design and pushing traditional boundaries. Since the very beginning, Design Shop has done things differently, and we’ve quickly made a name for ourselves in the Winnipeg design scene. We always work collaboratively and each member of our team plays a role in carrying out our projects. Our life and educational experiences have shaped us as designers who have empathy, vision, and confidence. We see ourselves as both creative risk takers and innovators while also being pragmatic and maintaining a high level of professionalism while leading projects as prime consultants with architects, engineers and contractors. Our goal is to always make sure that each of our clients feel seen, valued, and heard. We structure our work around the following principles, making sure that we maintain consistency in the high level of relationship building and service that we offer our clients. People-focused Design. Transparency. Know the Rules then Break the Rules. In every project, we work to tell the story of our clients in a unique and strategic way through Interior Design. We are passionate about people, creative problem solving and business. We notice how people behave, dream, work and interact within a space – making sure every environment we design works for the way people engage. We love challenging and pushing the boundaries with each of our projects – but we never lose sight of the specific intent, goals, and desires of our clients. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Color Consulting - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Custom Cabinets - Lighting Design - Home Office Design & Construction - Custom Built-ins - Design Consultation - Floor Plans - Project Management - Custom Bathroom Vanities - Custom Furniture - House Plans - 3D Rendering - Basement Design - Custom Bookcases - Custom Entertainment Centers - Custom Fireplace Mantels - Home Staging - Custom Beds - Custom Storage - Kitchen Remodeling - Custom Homes ### Areas Served - Assiniboine Park - Brandon - Heubach Park - Linden Woods - North River Heights - Tuxedo - Winnipeg ### Typical Job Cost $30,000 - 1 million Hourly rates + fee proposals ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Design Shop Inc. | | Address | Winnipeg, Manitoba R3N0G2, Canada | | Phone | (204) 999-5253 | | Website | http://www.design--shop.com | | Followers on Houzz | 138 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — http://www.facebook.com/designshopinc - X (Twitter) — http://www.twitter.com/designshopInc - LinkedIn — http://www.linkedin.com/company/design-shop-inc - Blog — www.design--shop.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Design Shop Inc.](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/design-shop-inc-pfvwus-pf~663582172) - **Website:** http://www.design--shop.com - **Phone:** (204) 999-5253 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - B.A., B.Env.Design, B.I.D., LEED AP, Steelcase University Scholarship, Grand + Toy Commercial Scholarship, Donald Dunclee Scholarship in Architecture, The Commerce Design Award for Chosabi 2016, Ciao Magazine for Kitchen Design 2016 - **Best of Houzz:** 3 awards (2017–2019), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 51 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Calla Hamilton, Jan. 2018** > Design Shop is great! Amanda is very easy to work with and she clearly explained the fee structure, their services, etc. before we even met. I needed help brainstorming some different layout options in a major kitchen renovation and I couldn't believe how fast she came up with so many awesome ideas! She is clearly very experienced. I will be working with Design Shop as we continue with our house projects and would highly recommend their services! **★★★★★ — K Schnell, Jan. 2018** > I worked with Amanda to pick interior paint colours.

We didn't want assistance with every aspect of the renovation, and they were extremely flexible in how they helped us along the way. They came to the site on multiple occasions to get a feel for the home, suggested wall colours, tiles for our bathroom, and offered overall advice on the floorplan of the place. It worked out very well, we are very happy with the work they did. **★★★★★ — Jeanne, June 2017** > I would highly recommend working with the girls from Design Shop Inc.! We had the pleasure of working with Deb and Laura for our main floor renovation--from start to finish, they were there to contact our trades when needed, and to provide input/ideas for our space. They show great enthusiasm for the work they do, and we are SO happy with our renos --- also very impressed with how they followed up to make sure we were happy with everything. Thanks Laura and Deb!! **★★★★★ — Brandice Vivier, June 2017** > Design Shop helped us renovate our completely unusable, dark and cold basement, into a bright, vibrant and wonderful space that puts a smile on my face every time I walk down the stairs. Debbie and Laura were wonderful to work with. They immediately understood our aesthetic, needs, and budget, and designed a space that worked for our family. The entire process from beginning to end was effortless and fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone, and would work with them again in a heartbeat. **★★★★★ — Pamela Pineau, March 2017** > The Design Shop Girls are so awesome to work with!

Creating a show home is different than working with a family – while working on this project we didn’t have specific client preferences to consider. Instead we designed the home as a blank canvas, with neutral colours and an emphasis on all the beautiful natural light pouring in through the numerous windows throughout the bungalow. - [Victoria Cres](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/victoria-cres-pj-vj~6246857) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 61 - Description: Our work on a 1950s-era, split-level home located on Victoria Crescent is our largest, most comprehensive residential projects to-date. Recently completed after beginning renovations in the spring of 2018, we revealed the home with a full interior and exterior overhaul to the praise of our clients who loved how we worked in rustic details and transitional design to give them an elevated contemporary home. We’re proud of the results of this full scale reno that saw over 540 design hours poured in… - [Leander Cres](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/leander-cres-pj-vj~6246034) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 23 - [Scotswood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scotswood-pj-vj~2226011) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 25 - [Dunbar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dunbar-pj-vj~3958407) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 21 - Description: This gorgeous “flipper upper” in Tuxedo was an exercise in playful styling and place making for our clients who had recently relocated from Toronto to Winnipeg. Building on the beautiful work of Dlux Design & Co. in refinishing and renovating this older home, our task was to bring in details that suited the quirky and eclectic style that our clients adored. (Loud floral wall paper anyone?! ) We added to existing details and developed custom millwork pieces to suite the new homeowner’s lifestyle.… - [D'arcy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/d-arcy-pj-vj~6246634) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 23 - [Waterfront](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterfront-pj-vj~6247096) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 18 - Description: This collaboration with Legacy Originals allowed us the opportunity to bring a unique, new look to a multi-floor condo in Winnipeg’s Exchange District. In this full scale reno, we created an enhanced entertainment experience throughout the condo with the bachelor lifestyle in mind. We enlarged the kitchen and created an experiential island with full automation and a pop up bar that rose and then seamlessly disappeared into the countertop. Everything was automated – a signature move for Legacy Or… - [Boreham Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boreham-bathroom-pj-vj~6246804) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 11 - [Southbridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southbridge-pj-vj~6246724) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 9 - [Boreham](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boreham-pj-vj~6246991) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 25 - [Aldershot](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aldershot-pj-vj~6247174) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 17 - [Ebb Tide](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ebb-tide-pj-vj~2671927) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 20 - [Winchester](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/winchester-pj-vj~1697884) - Location: Brandon, MB - Photos: 17 - Description: This one of a kind contemporary, urban inspired, rustic infused dream home was exactly that for us on the design end. Collaborating with the talented team from J+G Homes, this baby came to life in just under a years time. Proud details include, cast concrete walls with realstone hex inserts, a chefs kitchen to die for, upholstered benches throughout, a Mosaico+ graffiti tile bar back, a custom spa - like walk in shower fit for a king and queen, a walk in wine cellar, a finished basement that can… - [Glenbush](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glenbush-pj-vj~5549736) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 23 - [Island Shore](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/island-shore-pj-vj~6246791) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 17 - [Folkestone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/folkestone-pj-vj~2225973) - Location: Winnipeg, MB - Photos: 20 - Description: Great bones, classic taste, fun times clients... A designer couldn't ask for much more when diving into a new project. Super smitten to have been referred to this power couple, "J + D", we began plugging away at this fast track bungalow transformation. Design challenges: Designing the heck out this house in record breaking time. Anticipating a handful of site conditions, pre-buildout + remaining bang on \`budget. Transforming a dated galley kitchen into one that that could carry a HUGE island.
