Doris Sarry Design

As a first time home owner, I knew I needed help to set up my new place. Thanks to Doris' guidance, expertise, knowledge, experience, she was able to take a bland space and transformed it into a beautiful living space all the while taking into account my taste, preference and budget. She was able to come up with creative ways to create storage where there was none in every nook and cranny. To take a blank kitchen and transformed it into a striking kitchen thanks to her choosing of tiles in creating a not-so-basic-backsplash as well as putting in floating shelves to liven the kitchen area. An empty shell of a living/ dining room area and transformed it into a cozy living/ dining area. She took my many objects of souvenirs from my travels around the world and used them ingeniously to incorporate them into the décor throughout my place. She took some batik fabrics from my travel to Southeast Asia and had them sewn into decorative cushions for my bed. Display the tea pots from my China’s travel on the kitchen’s floating shelves. She even took some prints from my stay in Paris and used it to elevate the bathroom. At the end of our creative journey together in setting up my living space, I told Doris that the best investment I made was in hiring her.

I had called Doris in a panic as we had 3 weeks to move in and wasted time with a contractor. We needed wood floors redone and a complete kitchen remodel. Doris immediately, that same night. had the project underway with her professional team. Our floors were done in time to move in and without Doris that could not have happened. Doris understood our vison and made it happen. With her patience and guidance we now have our dream kitchen which we never imagined could be possible. Every detail and concern we had was immediately professionally addressed. Doris gave us our dream and we are truly grateful with the stunning results.

Doris is a special Designer, very unique in her style and work. I really enjoyed working with Doris and her passion for making homes beyond anyone's expectation. I hope we will do more projects together.

Doris was a truly great designer and project manager and we feel so lucky to have found her! She is an excellent communicator, and was able to listen to our ideas, take time to figure out our style, and present her own ideas and suggestions without ever pushing too much. Our meetings were always such fun! She was great about keeping our budget in mind, and had some really creative ideas to save us money. She also was able to find us a great team of contractors, and checked in on their work almost every day. She has a great eye for detail. This was our first renovation and we honestly could not have done it without her. We are beyond happy with the results, and are enjoying our new kitchen and bathroom so much! Thank you Doris!

I highly recommend Doris. She is not only creative, helpful and has impeccable taste, she goes above and beyond to service her clients and helps them complete their projects. She went out of her way to help me with my first IKEA kitchen design and installation, then she did the staging for my house (we accepted an offer in two days), and has helped me with staging and advise for my other properties. I am grateful that I met her and look forward to more years working together.

I'm a first time owner and when I decided to sell my condo I called back the same real estate agent that helped me buy my place 4 years ago. The agent came over and advised me to stage my condo. He gave 2 reasons for it: my place was practically empty as I had sold most of my furniture so 1- putting furniture would help potential buyers to have a better idea about the place (we process visual data much better) 2- staging is "investment" rather than expense, in other words my condo would be sold for a higher price if I staged it according to him. I gave him the green light and told him that he can pick a stager for me. He found Doris and I couldn't have been more pleased. First of all she is very energetic, friendly, handy and works fast. But most importantly she has a great eye in terms of interior decoration. She staged my place so nicely that it looked both classy and natural. At the end my property sold faster than other similar listings in my neighbourhood that were actually listed much lower in price. In short, if you're reading this review because you want to hire the best stager, well, you can stop searching because you've just found her.

This was my first time home staging, and I actually interviewed a couple of people before I found Doris, and I'm glad I did. One company even took a deposit from me which I can understand, but after meeting with the person I just was not impressed with her. She was a bit arrogant and just not what I was looking for. Sadly I lost that money. When Doris came to see our project I knew within the first 5 minutes she was hired. She was very personable, and she just really cares. She went above and beyond what I expected and worked her butt off. Our house showed beautiful like a magazine, I didn't want to sell it after! I would definatley recommend her to anyone who is looking for a stager. She cares about her clients and puts a lot of effort into her work.

My wife and I hired Doris Sarry to assist us with the redesign and renovation of our first home. Specifically, we redid our kitchen, ensuite, second bathroom, vestibule and enlarged our master bedroom (creating a walk-in closet and office) by taking over another bedroom. Doris was a huge help with both the designing aspect as well as managing the entire project. I would say Doris pretty much does everything from A-Z. She created plans for us and helped us understand the space that we had and what could be done in order to maximize our space. She accompanied us to the stores and assisted us in choosing the right supplies such as cabinets, countertops, tiles right down to the faucets and drapes. We decided to go with an Ikea kitchen as we had a limited budget, but still wanted something that would stand out. Doris took all the measurements, did the 3-D ikea plan and then adjusted it to our specific requests, although we pretty much kept it the exact way that she recommended. Doris puts a lot of time in ensuring everything is not only visually appealing but also practical. She believes in maximizing storage and ensuring the kitchen workflow is efficient. This was our first home and we didn’t yet have a contractor. We sat down with Doris to create a wishlist and then she went out to meet with various contractors and trades people to present us with the quotes. This saved us a lot of time! Doris was very devoted to the project and was often present on the worksite to supervise certain aspects of the renovation and ensure the quality of the work. She made sure all of our wishes were met and was very conscientious about our budget. Her passion for design, knowledge of construction and project management skills make the investment in her services worth every dollar. I highly recommend hiring Doris Sarry Design for your next project!

Doris is our go-to designer/stager for all of our housing projects. She does all of our kitchen design, bathroom design, tile/floor and color choices. She respects our budget and helps us maximize profit. She knows what's on-trend and ensures that all design choices are neutral enough to attract everyone but with an edge so our homes stand out! Additionally, she has a great contact base and has helped us seek out professionals in areas where we didn't have our own.

Doris has been a valued partner with our Real Estate team. She has helped many of our clients get their homes sale-ready. She offers us a variety of options and works with each individuals budget. We love that she is adaptable and has the capability to offer a basic package or a full-service, turn-key package. She has a great eye and knows what it takes to get a home looking its best. This project was a full staging project where she helped bring in the furniture, accent items and made this empty home one people could see themselves living in - My seller got top dollar for this one! She is our go-to girl!

Based on her knowledge and expertise in home renovations and house flips, and her keen eye for furniture pieces and lighting designs, we hired her as our project manager/kitchen designer. Our older duplex was due for a new kitchen as it no longer fit our lifestyles. Her challenge was to find the optimal use and a design that would suit our needs. Cupboard space and counter-space was our main concern and she made it a focal point of the project. In days, she was able to devise a plan that made sense both functionally and financially. Her ability to foresee potential issues were addressed immediately and when problems did arise, she was able to find solutions. Her ideas of a café/mini-bar nook and island table were a couple of examples of her creativity shining through.Her project management skills are sharp, as the quality of the work is reflected in her attention to details. Her contacts and coordination skills of contractors from carpenters, electricians, and plumbers were able to renew our kitchen in 30 days! Our kitchen has become a modern, functional, and fun place to entertain our family and friends for dinners, coffees, and drinks. We strongly recommend Doris Sarry Design for your next home renovations.

I initially asked Doris to help me with the renovation of my kitchen because I was very impressed with some kitchen she had completed. I thought she had very good design and function sensibilities. Right away Doris suggested a new layout that I had not thought of. In fact, I didn't believe that we had room for an island in the design even though we planned to open the wall between the kitchen and dining room. Her design proved to be the perfect solution to a dysfunctional kitchen. She has a thorough understanding of how to utilize the software at Ikea so could stay within the modest budget that we had. I would have had no idea how to manage this process but she took full control and ensured a quality renovation. We are completely thrilled with the result and wonder why we didn't do this sooner. It is beautiful and we are really pleased with how it came together. Start to finish, our project only took 6 weeks too. I was so pleased with her work, that I hired her to re-design our laundry room to update and provide more storage space. It turned out great too. I would not hesitate to recommend Doris for other renovations. She has imagination, skill in design, leadership skills, is conscientious and detail -oriented with excellent follow-through and ensures her projects come in on time and on budget.
