They provided colour/texture palette ideas, furniture, fixture and accent options. They worked with me based on my plans and personal preferences for my home and recommended potential suppliers that fit within my budget. By Comma also provided a model so I'd be able to visualize each space before getting to work. > > I'm so happy with the results thanks to their design expertise and eye for design. They were great to work with! **★★★★★ — HU-958091854, July 2024** > We are a husband/wife team and had a crazy idea to build small, luxury spaces for individual buyers, resorts and businesses who want to give their customer a sense of retreat, nature and tranquility in under 600 square feet. > The “wow” factor in Comma’s first render blew us away. We loved it. From exterior product selection to interior use of space, craftsmanship and detail, we leaned on their professionalism in design and furniture selections. For us, practicality and function are critical and they’ve honed in on exactly what we need for a successful launch of our product. **★★★★★ — HU-258431875, July 2024** > We are currently using Comma for our Okanagan project. We have been so impressed with their level of service, responsiveness and creativity. We would highly recommend this team to maximize your dream project. **★★★★★ — joannejbp, July 2024** > By Comma’s inspired design and furniture selection made our waterfront rental condo feel like a vacation home. The bonus is that each pieces can also be used in our permanent residence. Alex & Caroline took the time to understand and respect our project scope and budget. They were resourceful, responsive and professional. Very fortunate to work with this awarding winning duo! **★★★★★ — HU-610394902, July 2024** > I hired Comma because I needed somebody young with strong concept of space, elegance and joy. Comma team was able to deliver exactly that in the most delightful way. My husband and I have collected classic art pieces as well as contemporary from different parts of the world, and I soon realized that we couldn’t do the job of an interior designer (sometimes it’s very usual to assume that lol). Now I am so happy and excited in my space, saturated and irreverent in the social areas and soft and relaxing in the private rooms where we can feel home in a new pleasant and vibrant way!. **★★★★★ — jrv721, July 2024** > We contracted, By Comma, to assist us in a partial renovation upgrade of our waterfront retirement condo in Miami Florida. It was a totally satisfying experience that consisted of a brief telephone conversation -for the representative to see and understand the scope of work, followed by a proposed delivery timeline, budget and culminating with a virtual presentation of several options complete with, mock-up visuals, and list of items needing purchase. > The whole process was efficient and transparent and we felt we were allowed to choose how much we wanted to participate in idea development. A very pleasurable experience. > End result? Every-time we have guests over, their “takeaway comments” always include a positive reaction to the work of - By Comma ! **★★★★★ — Louise Kepley, July 2024** > While closely adhering to my my crazy timeline, and respecting my clients need to maintain recent costly home improvements, these talented designers provided high quality 3D renderings and CAD plan for a kitchen renovation taking into consideration the existing material palette and design language of a 1890 4 level Victorian interior row home. Designers also prepared a staging plan for over 5000 sq ft to be used in the marketing package for the sale of this multimillion dollar home --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
