She did an amazing job of staging our home for sale and it looked incredible!! I also asked her for consultation with my new home, to choose the interior design and I am very impressed with how it turned out! > I would definitely recommend her!! **★★★★★ — Naima Rahman, March 2014** > She is too good… Very professional.. I like her design style. she can transform a place very easily… She like to play with colors… I recommend her! You will not regret it. **★★★★★ — abirami09, Feb. 2014** > Design contours did a tremendous job on my kids bedroom and our master bedroom. Very flexible to work with and got high talent. She is very organized and full of creativeness. Her selections of colors are amazing. Furniture selections are very unique. After she finished our bedroom I thought it was a picture from a magazine. Very friendly with kids. She asked for our comments frequently. I will highly recommend her. **★★★★ — fatimamolu, Feb. 2014** > Subi was great to deal with. Always responded promptly. She was kind, respectful and calm when dealing with us. She gave us various options to stay within our budget which was important to me. Our room was a great collaboration of our ideas and we were very happy with the results. **★★★★★ — msiva, Feb. 2014** > We all know that a house is so much more than a place to live, it's an extension of us. We just got married and wanted a home that reflects our personality, and lifestyle. Subi from Design Contours helped us achieve both. She not only designed a home that is comforting and stunning but also one that reflected our lifestyle and personality, all while keeping within our budget. I still remember when we first walked into our newly designed condo. I couldn't help turning my head left and right trying to take in all the details and all the personal touches that Subi incorporated into the design based on our discussions. She took a small condo and made it look and feel bigger. She also gave us a home that was practical by including storage ideas that make living in a small condo easier. We love watching the reaction of our family and friends as they walk into our Condo and are amazed by the transformation. The comment we usually get is "this place looks like picture from a design magazine". Thanks Subi for giving us a beautiful home and a place we can relax and share with our family and friends. **★★★★★ — loisgrant, Feb. 2014** > I had my kitchen renovated in 2012 to get my laundry upsets due to physical limitations. Subi and her group did a fabulous job. I interviewed 3 others and found her best to meet my needs,. She came highly recommended by a colleague. Continue to be very pleased with the results **★★★★★ — shamruban, Feb. 2014** > Subi is an intuitive, professional, creative designer who has a keen eye for the big picture while fussing the right amount over the little details. She has done three amazing projects for us as we slowly chip away at transforming our house to a home. She has an outstanding ability to accommodate to your taste, tailor to your personality and the functional elements, and seek outs feedbacks and approval so that, neither of you hijacks the project. So you end up with this amazing transformation that screams fabulous. In the end not only are you pleased with her efforts, but you are pleased with yourself! Now that is something isn’t it? **★★★★★ — ragut, Feb. 2014** > Subi has done an outstanding job in my new custom build house. There is no word to describe her detailed work, her creativity, the color selections for each rooms and the interest she shows like her own house. Her main goal is to make her clients happy. We hired her to help us with the building structures to interior decor. EG: to select Granite floors, counter tops, hard wood floors, paints, drapes, furniture selections and etc....... Had many comments from my family and friends about our lovely home. My builder also uses my house as his model home. WE LOVE DESIGN CONTOUR. **★★★★★ — thusha1, Feb. 2014** > We hired Subi, from Design Contours, to furnish and decorate our brand new condo right before our wedding. She slaved over it night and day just to make it perfect for us to come home to as a married couple. I can't describe the feeling of having left a bare, naked condo with not a single furniture, to, after an exhausting wedding day, coming home to a fully furnished, gorgeous and modern pad. She transformed the condo beyond imaginable, and somehow made it look more spacious than it was when it was empty. Her creativity is off the charts! So many innovative ideas in that head of hers. We get compliments from our friends and family about our place all the time and many have hired her for their own home as a result. The best part? She worked within our minimal budget. Weddings are not cheap these days but we were able to fully furnish our place right away in the midst of our wedding because of Subi's connections to discounted furniture and her skills with making the smallest thing look luxurious. You cannot in a million years tell that our place was decorated on a small budget. She has done million dollar homes and modest homes, like ours so she's every man and woman's designer! We are ever so thankful to Subi for how hard she worked in such a short period of time just to see that look of pleasure on our faces when we saw our place for the first time. And for her unconditional patience - we were not easy to work with! I would highly, without a doubt, recommend Subi! Next stop for her...HGTV hopefully! She would give all those TV designers a run for their money! **★★★★★ — Colleen Joseph, Feb. 2014** > Subi is a true professional that I would hire again and recommend without hesitation. She not only designed but oversaw the entire renovation process from conception to completion. She has great time management and people skills. She stayed within budget and on deadline. I personally used her twice for flipping 2 properties that required full gut and remodelling from top to bottom. > > Colleen Joseph **★★★★★ — Siva Haran, Jan. 2014** > We hired Subi to redesign our condo -- we had a vision but we needed a lot of help bringing it all together. We let her take control of all aspects of the project. She kept us up to date with her plans, budget and timelines. And she delivered them on point and on schedule. I would definitely recommend Subi to anyone who is looking for great results and amazing customer service. ## Selected projects - [Backyard Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/backyard-project-pj-vj~5762075) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [MISSISSAUGA master en-suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mississauga-master-en-suite-pj-vj~5697033) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [MISSISSAUGA kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mississauga-kitchen-pj-vj~5697032) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Mississauga Lighthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mississauga-lighthouse-pj-vj~5697027) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Allure Living Room-Markham](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/allure-living-room-markham-pj-vj~438999) - Location: Markham, ON - Photos: 3 - Description: The sofas are Italian craftsmanship custom- designed by Design Contours and built with Robert Allen fabric and studded with crystals and bronze nail heads to accentuate its proud beauty.

I have to mention that the client determinedly stood on one leg and insisted on a dark color wall, and I now kinda like it. Sometimes the tug of war between client and designer doesn't always end in the favour of the former but this was a special case. He was a cop, and I don't think not giving in was an option :) \#nervousaroundcops \#butnotacriminal - [Locust Hill Luxurious Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/locust-hill-luxurious-master-bedroom-pj-vj~2732658) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: The clients coined their house luxurious.
