Eye 4 Detail

Prior to hiring Deborah, we were having a great deal of difficulty designing a new layout for our kitchen renovation. Not only did she create a viable design, but it far exceeded our expectations. Deborah provided many suggestions and sound advice, especially when it came to choosing finishes. She, and the contractor that she works with, were a pleasure to deal with, and we would definitely recommend them.

Deborah was fun to work with. She's easy to talk to, and hones into your style quickly. That way she can make suggestions that limit the endless choices of available supplies. She barely flinched when I threw in a wallpaper that I loved, and made everything work. Her team is top notch, skilled, and reliable. Our bathroom seems brighter, larger, up to-date, and more polished. Overall, you cannot deny that Deborah does have an eye for detail.

We’ve had Deborah help with two projects: A kitchen and bathroom. We were very pleased with both, not just for the design but also the network of professionals brought in for the work.

When we decided to renovate our kitchen and refresh the entire first floor of our house one of our friends recommended that we ask for Deborah’s help. This was the beginning of an amazing journey that led to a joyfull renovation and spectacular results. We enjoyed working with Deborah who professionally and expertly guided us through the process while providing amazing advices to achieve a perfect combination of style, colour and glamour. We cannot stop admiring the result and enjoyment of our new kitchen. Thank you Deborah you are the best.

I have worked with Deborah for a number of years now helping her and her clients with many different flooring projects.I have always been impressed with her design abilities and in particular her staying current on the trends in my world of floor coverings.From my experience working with Deborah she is very easy to work with and very thorough in her approach with her clients, I have and would recommend her to any of my customers that have solicited me for a referral of one of the good designers in Ottawa to consult with.

I Have worked with Deborah on multiple occasions and the professionalism/Knowledge is second to none, she has the natural instinct and insight that allows her to meet the expectations of her clients and so much more. There isn't one negative thing to say for she would not allow herself to provide anything but top service and I would highly recommend her and the company to anyone that is building or renovating their home. I would have to say that the company is appropriately named for she has a keen eye for detail and doesn't miss anything no matter how small.

Deborah most recently helped us update our kitchen with new lighting for our island and kitchen table, making creative choices within our budget. Deborah also guided us in choosing finishes for our home when we built it 7 years ago and we will continue to consult her as we take on new projects! Did I mention that she also helped us pick the exterior finished for our new house as well? No matter what your style is or even if you are not sure what your style is, Deborah will be an asset to your project.

Debora is well experienced and a very good listener to your needs. She was available to go to the stores with us to look at furniture and carpets. She never made me feel rushed.

My wife and I were recently overwhelmed with the selection of finishes for a major renovation/rebuild of our home. After several failed attempts on our own at choosing tiles, paint colours, and hardwood flooring, we decided to enlist the services of an interior designer, and were introduced to Ms. Deborah Gerbis of Eye 4 Detail. Deborah's innate ability at putting us at ease, understanding, and deciphering our varied tastes was outstanding. She was able to put forth subtle suggestions, while still allowing us to ultimately make final decisions. At various times, she also took us out of our "comfort zone", and much to our surprise, we loved the choices we made with her guidance. What was not initially being looked forward to, turned into one of the best experiences of our construction project. We actually had FUN... and this was ultimately because of our experience with Deborah. We strongly recommend Eye 4 Detail to anyone considering hiring an interior designer.

We have used Deborah's services for different projects (and two successive homes) and one of her many strengths is colour. She can find the perfect paint colour for any room. In addition, she knows how to make a room work in terms of furniture layout and flow. In addition to many colour consultations, she advised us on a mudroom and bathroom renovations and they turned out beautifully. She is also knowledgeable about where to source building materials, fixtures and furniture. I have recommended her to friends and family, and will continue to do so. I look forward to working with her on our next big project - a cottage addition and renovation.

It was great pleasure and fun to work with Deborah (Eye 4 Detail); our bathroom renovation is absolutely stunning. It is bright, attractive, practical and easy to maintain. She created such a positive experience for us. Together, we created a modern bathroom we would have never imagined by ourselves. We wanted to upgrade our 35 years old three-piece bathroom to a contemporary room with a separate shower and increase the storage capacity, all of this causing minimal floor impact on the adjacent master bedroom. Previously, we had worked with 2 other designers without satisfaction. The project was becoming overwhelming. Friends who had recently upgraded their basement and bathroom showed us the work accomplished with Deborah Gerbis. At the first meeting, Deborah took the time to listen to our ideas and was able to improve from previous plans. Then, on a weekly basis we proceeded to a bathroom/appliance store, followed by visits to tile stores / counter top suppliers and finally a cabinet maker. Every time, she would propose a few options and was able to zero in on what we might like. The process of planning the reno and deciding on all suppliers was fast and efficient. Each member of her supplier / contractor team was thoroughly professional in their respective trade and did a wonderful job. We look forward to working with her on our future projects, and would highly recommend her to friends and family! Lakshmi & Bernard

Deborah helped us to completely renovate our 1920's home - basement, kitchen, living room and bathrooms. She quickly got to know us and our style, making shopping trips easy and simplifying the myriad of decisions. And we were so thrilled with the results! We had to put the house on the market about a year after the renos were done and it sold for full asking within one day of being on the market! Aside from providing excellent design advice, Deborah was great to work with - always professional, she is also personable and easy to get along with. I highly recommend her to anyone!

Deborah, was amazing from start to finish. She offered extremely helpful suggestions which made significant improvements to the overall end result of our renovation project. She was always available to respond to my numerous questions, ( by phone, email and in person) and promptly offered helpful solutions throughout our project. She really did go above and beyond to make sure all my questions were answered and accommodated our schedules when setting up appointments. I really enjoyed being able to brainstorm ideas with her and very much appreciated her honest and constructive feedback. Using Houzz was extremely helpful for us to share ideas and helped me make decisions in a timely manner to keep our project moving along, especially when couldn't meet or connect by the phone. I would highly recommend her services and would look forward to working with her on our next project :)

Deborah provided us fantastic design services on two occasions. She helped us choose our finishes, paints colours, wall paper etc etc etc for a complete main floor reno. We love the results. We also had her assist in selecting a stucco colour and she managed to find one that works well with existing brick, soffit fascia and outdoor paints colours. Thanks for the great advice!!

We were extremely pleased with Deborah's vision for our front entrance and foyer. From the first moment she stepped into our home she took the time to understand our style and thoughts and then suggested a potential plan that went far beyond anything we had previously contemplated. She was able to provide us with several options to move from the concept to reality and always provided us with her professional recommendation. Deborah was also able to work closely with the contractor to transform our space into an area where we wish we could spend all of our time! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend Deborah to anyone looking for assistance with a home project. We personally look forward to working with her again!

Deborah has been helping us over the last few years on a number of projects - a kitchen reno, living/dining room furnishing and a bathroom reno. We've been very happy with the outcome each time and love the way our house looks. She is very easy to work with, quickly dialing into our tastes and then providing recommendations and choices that result in spaces we really appreciate from both an aesthetic and functional perspective. Budgets and timelines have always been as communicated. Highly recommended!

We had 2 bathrooms renovated, one was really a powder room on the 1st floor. Deborah, (Eye 4 Detail), came to our house, examined both rooms and asked if we had anything special in mind. She then proceeded to indicate a few ideas, watching our reaction, providing alternatives. With this information, she developed a plan, asked us to meet her at a tile store showing us some choices that we might like. We indicated what we preferred. To confirm our choice she would show us something else until we were certain of our choices. This process was followed at the Bathroom/appliances Store. This process took 2 to 3 hours each. What was interesting was her ability to zero in on what we might like. She had a vision of what we would be happy with including mirrors, cabinets, lighting etc.. The process was fast. We dealt with a contracter that she had recommended. She met with the contractor to ensure that he understood the requirements. They were thoroughly professional and did a wonderful job. Conclusion, we could not be happier with the work done and the process. Would recommend without hesitation Eye 4 Detail, as well as the contractor that Deborah suggested.

Deborah did an amazing job on our bathroom. She helped us navigate the tile and fixture selections and came up with a design that reflected our style, respected our budget and is in keeping with the age of the home. It is a small space, but she was able to include everything on our wish list without making the room look crowded. It looks fantastic.

I would highly recommend Deborah Gerbis from Eye 4 Detail to anyone looking to hire a top notch designer. We have had the great pleasure of working with her on several projects in our home. She did an incredible job helping us with two bathroom renovations and more recently she helped us transform the rest of our home into a tasteful, beautiful space. Deborah saved us an incredible amount of time by making recommendations for design choices (including a beautiful colour pallet, area carpets, lighting, and accessories) that were budget friendly and transformative! We will no longer make decisions on design, colour and fabric without her assistance. Her creativity, dedication, attention to details and professionalism make her a joy to work with.

Having never used an interior designer before, my husband and I were not certain what to expect and how the experience would play out for us. We have always done everything ourselves but with the importance of getting the bathroom right the first time and the amount of money we anticipated having to spend to completely renovate our cheater ensuite bathroom, we thought it would be best to bring in an expert. We had names of three interior designers and Eye 4 Detail Interior Decorating & Design was one of them. As soon as we met with Deborah, we knew we had found the right person for our renovation. Deborah has been there every step of the way for us , from the initial consult right through until the finishing touches after the renovation was complete. The time we saved just having the products and choices narrowed down for us prior to making the actual selection was invaluable. We used several of Deborah’s contractors all of which were exceptional in their respective trade. We are beyond thrilled with all the services we received and Deborah was always just a phone call or text message away. Our bathroom renovation is absolutely stunning and hard for us to believe it is actually ours. Deborah created such a positive experience for us and we would highly recommend her.

We wanted to update our living and dining room space, including a fireplace renovation, new lighting, molding, shelving, paint, and furnishings for a clean, modern look. Deborah provided design advice and recommended an excellent contractor. Deborah also oversaw sourcing and selection of furnishings and fixtures. The results are beyond our expectations. Our new space is wonderful and we have received many compliments. We will certainly want to hire Deborah for any future projects.

Very satisfied client. We worked with Deborah in early 2015 to prepare our house for resale. The experience was very positive from our perspective. Together we established a list of changes and improvements that could be accomplished within our budget, and then Deborah took over. Our sense was that she had very good instincts for what was most appropriate to do and that was later confirmed by our real estate agent. Deborah saved us time and money by selecting great options for bathroom fixtures, new lights, flooring, etc. She works with very good quality trades and we were very pleased with their work as well. So we had all these benefits and Deborah was able to complete the work on time and on budget - so we were very satisfied clients. Jeff & Joanne – Orleans

We recently worked with Deborah for our complete kitchen renovation and Deborah was amazing to work with. She was extremely efficient and was able to make the daunting task of pulling all the little details that go into planning a kitchen a breeze. Deborah also listens very well and it shows as she ensures that you stay with the feel or vision that you have for your project. She ensures that all the little details are addressed, things that I hadn't even thought that we needed to consider, she would address these fine details and provide options for us. It was an absolute pleasure to work Deborah and I look forward to working with her on our future projects big or small.

I have worked with Deborah for several years on a number of projects. She consistently amazes me with her ability to interpret my sometimes vague ideas and wishes into something that works better than I could imagine. Her use of colour, her attention to detail, her innovative use of accessories and fabrics are fantastic. Deborah is an absolute joy to work with and provides excellent customer service. She is professional and always willing to spend time to ensure I am completely satisfied. Deborah is my go-to designer!

When we moved to Ottawa we bought a lovely old home that needed some work. We started with the basement and I was lucky enough to come across Eye 4 Detail through a recommendation from a colleague at work. I met with Deborah and my husband and I found it an absolute delight to work with her, so much so that since our basement project we hired Eye 4 Detail for our kitchen renovation, our living room update, our bathrooms, so on and so forth. As a matter of fact we do not make an interior design decision in our house anymore without first consulting Deborah. Why? Because Deborah has exquisite taste, because she provides us with choices within our taste category and budget request, because she is excellent picking colors and fabrics, and because she provides excellent customer service. Deborah works with you to pick what you want and to balance your project budget. She will save you from being overwhelmed with the immensity of choices that exist out there by narrowing the choices down for your.

I have had the pleasure of working with Deborah on lighting fixture selections for the past 5 years. Deborah is among the top interior decorators in Ottawa. This is proven to me by her organizational ability, effective criteria for product selection and general professional demeanour. All of which, has made it a joy to work with her. I have and will continue to recommend her services to those looking for decorating help no matter the project scale.

We have worked with Deborah on several projects from a simple room, to a complicated bathroom reno as well as a small home addition design. She has a keen sense to take our initial ideas and transform them into a final result that always exceeds our expectations. Deborah designed our dream bathroom, which even years after the work was completed we continue to get comments on her amazing design. We will continue to use her services on future projects and we would recommend her to anyone.

Deborah was recommended by our contractor to work with us on our kitchen renovation—a complete gutting and rebuilding. If you find it difficult to coordinate colours and textures, if you can't visualize the finished product, then work with Deborah. Our kitchen is spectacular with the ceramic floor tiles, backsplash, countertop, paint, etc., blending perfectly. Plus Deborah turned two small areas—family room and kitchen—into one large area that can be used either as both or turned into a large kitchen. I've consulted with Deborah since on the living room and bathroom. She refreshed our bathroom with a paint colour that blended with the tiles and recommended towel colours. It's wonderful to walk in there in the morning with the perfect blending of colours. I'm continuing to consult with her on various other projects. I recommend Deborah highly for her abilities to either create something new, or to fix something that's not right, or to refresh a tired room.

The advice, resources, direction and overall vision given by Eye 4 Detail had been exceptional. The relaxed and comfortable guidance provided has made our building process very enjoyable. Our home will be way more attractive and functional than what we could have ever designed, or even dreamed, ourselves. In addition, much of the advice provided actually saved us money! The common sense recommendations were always given in a non-pressured manner and it yet dared us to think beyond our own vision. Thank you so much! We love our new home! Lynn and Martin

Deborah worked with me on my kitchen renovation and handled project coordination from design to final installation. She was able to translate my vision into a warm, inviting kitchen. Deborah's creative ideas pushed my thinking of what I thought was possible. The renovation team Deborah worked with delivered on time and on budget. My trust in her and her team allowed me enjoy the renovation process.

Eye 4 Detail completely transformed my 1960's kitchen to what it is today: beautiful, bright, functional and easy to maintain, exactly what I asked for. With Deborah's easy going personality and her professionalism, she listened to my ideas and suggested her design, colour, fabric, etc. and created something I never imagined. Deborah saved me a lot of time and money by knowing exactly where to go in Ottawa for all the different products. I would highly recommend her for any renovation and/or design ideas.
