High Street Design

Sarah is a pleasure to work with through all stages of a design project. I hired Sarah at the beginning of 2020 to do a significant renovation of my condo to modernize the space and make it my own. The reno expanded the ensuite bathroom including replacing the tub with a walk in shower, removed the wall between the den & living room, new kitchen, updated powder room, updated lighting, new flooring and paint/wallpaper through out. From the start, she listened to my wish list and ideas to put together a cohesive plan for across every room. From start to finish, she was on top of all the details, deadlines, and decisions so it was as easy process for me. Her subcontractors are also great with excellent attention to detail. As well, Sarah helped me find new furniture for my living space, which now looks like an adult lives here. I am beyond thrilled with the final result!

I cannot say enough good things about High Street Design and Sarah Broderick, who is a joy to work with. Our project was less than a total renovation, as we wanted to maintain many of the existing materials in our condo bathrooms while updating and replacing some elements (e.g. the cabinetry.) Sarah worked with us from start to finish and the results are amazing. From recommending paint colours to sourcing accessories, she has great attention to detail and a real gift for anticipating and understanding what her clients will like and what they will not like. Her sub-contractors are also terrific and she is a great project manager. Her fees are reasonable and the value for cost is excellent. I strongly recommend High Street Design and plan to work with them again in the near future.

Sarah is great to work with. She listens so she can be of assistance with what you need most. For me is was being overwhelmed with where to start for a master bath and living room redo so that the choices you make early on complement the later decisions. She is very professional and was a very calming influence on the process, so once I made my choices I was not second guessing and driving myself crazy :) She knows some great tradespeople which has also very helpful, and she is very organized staying on top of dates and commitments, measurements and placing orders so that all of the materials are available when the workmen are ready. I also appreciate her troubleshooting and problem solving ability as things get discovered behind the walls and a pivot is necessary, she was very adept at making suggestions that addressed issues without causing the whole project to balloon.

I hired Sarah to help with a full condo renovation in the summer of 2019 that included a complete bathroom renovation, re-configuring my living room and kitchen, new paint throughout the whole unit. Sarah was very responsible and a pleasure to work with. She was not only introducing me to a reliable and talented contractor whom she had worked with before, but also helping me on choosing and ordering all furniture in my living room including my small hallway. I could not complete the renovation and made my condo be my dream home without Sarah’s help sourcing materials and products and working closely with the contractor to make sure things ran smoothly. I am delighted with the way the design came together and grateful that Sarah helped me making practical choices that also look great. Thank you Sarah!

We downsized from a larger traditional style home to a new more modern and very open concept type home in Cobourg Ontario. The new place was quite nice but still had basic builder’s standards throughout in regards to cabinetry, counter tops and wall colours. Also, we could see where some of our old furniture would fit and some wouldn’t. Sarah helped up a great deal by first suggesting wall colours that would flow throughout the space. She then advised us on improvements that could be brought to the kitchen cabinetry and upgrades to the counter top. Sarah also suggested that we paint some of our existing pine furniture since we were not ready to give all our old stuff up yet! We found Sarah very flexible and enthusiastic while working with us to find the right solutions. We are very happy with the results in our new home and highly recommend her.

Sarah helped me clarify my style. She took the time to understand what I like and what kind of home I want to live in. She helped me plan some home improvements that enhanced both resale value and the quality of my life. This included bathroom renovations, as well as updating my space with new paint, furnishings and fixtures while reusing most of my existing furniture. More importantly, she arranged for an excellent contractor and painter to execute my home renovations on time and reasonably on budget. The place looks great. On the down side, I have no renovation horror stories to tell at cocktail parties. :-)

I work in lighting sales and I have been working with High Street Design for years. It is always a pleasure working with Sarah. She is very knowledgeable and always has a vision for her work. It is fun to work on High Street Design lighting specs - a lot of times with condo lighting you need to think out of the box and she does.

It was great to have High Street Design beside me to help get the measurements right and the look exactly what I wanted. Easy to work with and very responsive.

We hired Sarah to help with a significant house renovation in the winter of 2019 that included removing a wall between the dining room and living room, a complete kitchen renovation, Reconfiguring the entranceway, new hardwood throughout the whole house including the stairway and some work in the upstairs bedrooms. Sarah was very personable and a pleasure to work with. She was instrumental in introducing us to a reliable and talented contractor whom she had worked with before, which brought us peace of mind. We could not have completed the renovation in the timeframe we did without Sarah’s help sourcing materials and products and working closely with the contractor to make sure things ran smoothly. Sarah was sensitive to finding products and options that worked within our budget. We are delighted with the way the design came together and grateful that Sarah helped us make practical choices that also look great!

Sarah beautifully renovated my 2-bedroom condo. She is an amazing listener, very organized, resourceful, and responsible. From the initial consultation to the end of the project, she was present to adress all my questions and concerns. I am very satisfied with her work and highly recommend her services.

Sarah and I worked on 2 renovation projects. She has a wonderful eye for colour and always had creative solutions to problems. She was always able to meet deadlines while keeping budgetary concerns in mind. I will hire her again!

It was truly a pleasure to work with Sarah on a downtown Toronto condo renovation. She was very knowledgeable about the job and was always easy to communicate with. She is very professional, prepared and dedicated to her clients. Collaborating with Sarah and High Street Design is something we look forward to doing again in the near future. If you're looking for a well though-out, creative design, Sarah is the one to go to for a beautiful end product!

I have worked with Sarah on numerous projects over the past few months as a Subcontractor. Sarah is extremely professional, has impeccable designs and ideas. Sarah has a great knowledge and understanding of construction and how clients plans and envisions are implemented. Sarah takes great pride in her work, she is very dedicated to her clients and listens to their needs and concerns. I would highly recommend working with High Street Design and I look forward to working with Sarah in the near future.

We had a great opportunity to work with Sarah from High Street Design on the project at Scarborough Bluffs. The whole process starting from initial organization, process management and coordination with our trades was an absolute blast. Our questions in regards of finishes were answered efficiently and decisions were made with ease. Sarah has a great taste and creates spaces that perfectly integrates into her clients' lives. It was a pleasure to be part of that creation.

We hired Sarah to help us renovate our en suite bathroom, and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. From our very first meeting together, we knew we had made the right decision to hire Sarah. She really listens to your wants and needs, is very collaborative, knowledgeable, and has great ideas. She also isn't afraid to give you her opinion and tell you if she doesn’t think something will work. Sarah really delivered on everything we had hoped for in our bathroom, all while managing to stay within our preferred budget! We look forward to working with her again on future projects.

I have worked with Sarah on several different projects now and every time she is extremely professional, friendly and extremely easy to work with. Sarah has a great eye for design and colour and always can bring life into a space. Sarah's commitment to her vision when it comes to her projects is second to none, every space is different and Sarah always manages to make them one of a kind. Sarah makes every project easy and great to work on and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a direction to take their old space and breathe new life in to it or start fresh. Sarah is the best!

We hired Sarah to refresh and renovate the common areas of our 1980s-era downtown condo -- living room, dining room, sunroom, and powder room. The renovations needed to be done over a two-week period while we were on vacation. She managed the project admirably, overseeing tiling, drywalling, popcorn ceiling removal, potlight installation, and painting. Sarah was also great at finding the right pieces for our space. And she was mindful of our budget when things got a little tight. Highly recommend -- hard worker and reliable.

Sarah assisted us with revamping our office space and we are very pleased with the results! She created a design plan that worked for us and was able to walk us through the implementation of our vision. She is a delight to work with and we would certainly seek out her assistance again.

We really enjoyed working with Sarah. She quickly identified what we needed and made great suggestions based on our budget for the project (painting, flooring, lighting in the entire house and kitchen). Her enthusiasm gave us the kick we needed to actually start our project and complete everything within a reasonable timeframe. Highly recommended :-)

We have now done a couple jobs with HIGH STREET DESIGN. What a pleasure it was to work with a designer that knew what they were doing and had GREAT taste!! Sarah was always on top of things and had no delays. It was a pleasure working with this company and i would highly recommend them to anyone looking to start a future renovation from big to small! As a contractor Sarah’s ideas always ran smoothly and always came together perfect!

The process of working with Sarah is very collaborative. She identifies what's important to you, what your dreams and wishes are for your home. She sees the potential of your home and how you could live with more ease, more comfort, making better use of your space. She will thrill you with her ideas! Her colour palettes, sometimes unconventional use of paint and wallpaper, furnishings, you will love her plans! You can see the red wall she put with my acid green couch - really makes my graphic art pop!

We had lived in our house for over a decade when we finally decided to overhaul our basement bathroom. The bathroom had been hastily installed by previous owners and looked like something out of horror film. We never used it, and would never have subjected anyone else to using it either. By some miracle. Sarah was totally game for taking on the challenge of transforming this nightmare into something beautiful without it costing an obscene amount. She was completely attuned to our style, and created a design that fit with us, our house, and our budget. She took great care of us along the way and made sure that we were comfortable with every step of the project. In the end, we have a finished bathroom, a finished hallway that leads to the bathroom and is separated from the rest of the basement, an open and beautiful staircase down to the bathroom, and a fabulous brick wall that looks like it was always part of the house. We feel incredibly lucky that we get to live here, and we can't wait to work with Sarah on our next project!

Sarah was a pleasure to work with. Her ability to incorporate our style into the designs and listen to our “wants” and “needs” list was phenomenal. Personally, I felt like I learned so much from Sarah along the way in terms of identifying my design preference.

Sarah is absolutely the best designer I've worked with. Adaptable, creative, focused and hard working. She designed my new office and all my employees and clients keep complimenting on the design/layout/space. Thank you Sarah for being the easiest and most exciting part of the renovation process!

We contracted with Sarah Broderick of High Street Design to renovate our one-bedroom apartment at Harbour Square, Toronto in May 2017. We had rented out the apartment for almost 40 years and it was in its original state. A realtor who appraised the property advised us it would be difficult to find a renovator and contractor to do such a major refit as everyone was booked for the season by May. To complicate matters, we lived in Kingston and were not on site to plan and oversee any of the work. Enter Sarah B. We read her bio on Houzz and contacted her to see if she was interested in tackling this sizable job. She came immediately accompanied by her contractor, listened to what we needed done, proposed a plan, had her contractor provide a quote and references, and away she went. She supervised the entire job, sent us by email ideas, suggestions, samples and prices, sourced and purchased furniture, lighting, appliances, the whole works. She was on top of the contractor who basically gutted the place and then put it back into shape - 2017 style. By October everything was done and we only visited the apartment on three occasions just to get excited about the transformation. Sarah was instrumental in taking our 1970s tired and shabby unit and making it the stylish apartment it is today. She was a delight to work with, very creative, communicated very well, and always kept us totally informed throughout the process. We would not have our "new" apartment without her. She is the best!

Sarah had lots of great ideas for helping up decorate our condo and deciding which furniture to keep as we were down-sizing as part of our move.

We met Sarah this spring when we were moving from a very large lake home in he Kawartha's to a 1200 Sq ft condo in Toronto's Harbourfront. She was very professional, creative and diplomatic. A true pleasure to work with. We much appreciated her budget conscious approach. Her purchase recommendations were striking and stylish. Sarah made a real effort to understand our taste and style very early in the process. She did this in part by way of our shopping trips that were very efficient and gave us a wide scope of alternatives. She genuinely cares about her clients, and is a great listener. I highly recommend her.

Sarah is a talented interior designer with an exceptional taste and I was lucky to be a part of the project she was working on this summer. She builds strong and trustworthy relationships with her clients and she deeply cares about people she works with. Sarah aims at nothing but perfection and it's well reflected in those thoughtfully crafted architectural environments she creates for her clients. I am looking forward to our next collaboration!

Sarah was very helpful and efficient. She provided a great plan for our small condo in a short time and within budget. It was a pleasure working with Sarah.

Sarah helped me with ideas and products for my condo (under 600 sq feet). She's a great listener and dug deep to find lighting and furniture that suited my style and budget. She's a very positive and practical person, and quickly responded to my queries with humor and creativity.

Working with High Street Design was a complete pleasure. Everything was very well organized and that made our job (Flooring installation) a lot easier. Her selections are always one point which leads to stunning results. Its always a pleasure having Sarah in our showroom here at Toronto Flooring Solutions Inc. We look forward to working together once again on the next project!

I hired Sarah from High Street Design to help with our bathroom renovation and we are beyond thrilled with the results! During the renovation we ran into some unforeseen issues and Sarah handled it very professionally and effectively by ensuring we had her full support to help resolve the problem. She was a pure pleasure to work with and I would use her services again in a heart beat!

Sarah was great. She was prompt and reliable and listened to what we were looking for with fixing up our staircase and helping us with our storage needs. She even went the extra mile and was present for the contractor installation work when we couldn't be there. I would definitely recommend her services!

I've owned my electrical business for over 15 years I truly enjoyed working with Sarah from high Street designs She's extremely creative and professional at the same time her personality continuously keeps you excited and looking forward to the next project a real treat to work with

Sarah and HighStreet Design helped us to remodel our basement apartment and turned it into a functional lower lever retreat for us to live in before we move into the main level of our duplex property. She helped us create a vision to redesign our space and worked within our budget to make the vision a reality. She managed the trades and made the process a turnkey process for us. We look forward to working with her again to tackle our next project. Thanks again Sarah!

After living in large single detached homes for 30 years in the suburbs we wanted a sophisticated yet cozy urban condo that would feature and compliment our art collection. Sarah took the time to understand our tastes and needs and then set about delivering an end result that exceeded our high expectations. As one would expect from a top notch designer, she selectively pushed us out of our comfort zone giving us a result we could never had achieved on our own initiative. Sarah sourced unique furniture and fixtures, all within the budget we set, that beautifully compliments the art work. She also accessed professional trades that met our quality standards. All in all, Sarah made the whole process straight forward and stress free. We now have a unique and comfortable condo to call home.

We are a retired couple moving from a family home to a just built condominium. We wanted a complete break from the traditional furnishings we had lived with for 20 years in our 100 year old house. We went for mid century modern and pop art. Sarah guided us through the process and was always dependable, enthusiastic, pleasant, and easy to work with. She found a nice balance between accommodating our wishes and providing alternative choices. She knew how to find things and the tradesmen we needed. We would recommend her withou reservation.

I have recently relocated from Vancouver to Toronto and was lucky enough to have been introduced to Sarah Broderick. Having worked with top designers in Vancouver I did not know what the expectations were in Toronto. I must say Torontonians are in great hands. Sarah is professional, full of energy, fun to work with and is very detailed orientated. I am blessed to have worked with Sarah and wish her all the best.

Sarah is a pleasure to work with. She is smart, pleasant, and has a great eye. Always respectful of her client's wishes, Sarah is quick to figure out exactly what her clients need and is great at communicating with the. We are always stunned by her spaces and look forward t working with her in the future.

I had a great interaction with Sarah on a project. We all have experienced the challenge to select pieces to decorate our home and find a perfect rug to fit your space is not always easy! She made great suggestions based on customer's style and budget. We narrowed down options and took 3 rugs to the customer's Condo to try on site. It was a success... We found the perfect 8x10 rug !!! Hope working with your again!

Sarah is very good designer to work with. Unique ideas, each client is totally different color palete and concept. Her design, space planing and time management is fantastic.

I've help Sarah find the right furniture and lighting for her residential projects. She has a tremendous sense of space and proportion. When you walk into any of the rooms she has created, there is an immediate sense of balance and tranquility. She's also on trend re: colour and is not afraid to use it!

We hired Sarah from High Street Design to fully furnish our 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo and we absolutely loved working with her! She was very quick in meeting with us and already had plans for our condo before we even met! She was always open to communication and once she had an idea of our style / taste we absolutely loved everything she picked out for our place. She completed the project within our timeline and we were actually under budget as well. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly and professional designer for any sized space.

Sarah had some very creative ideas and concepts for our unique loft space. She had well thought out and presented 'mood boards' that captured what we talked about in our initial conversations, and seemed to get the vibe we were after. There was some confusion at first around billing and execution (we were 1st timers), but that was cleared up quickly and Sarah was willing to work within our budget to make sure we got the job done. Overall, would definitely recommend

Sarah is a wonderful designer and a great person to work with! She helped my partner and I furnish our condo. She always made time for us and incorporated our personalities in her designs, which we were very pleased with. We recommend her highly!

Sarah was respectful and professional. She paid us extra money after the contract was signed, because we encountered some difficulties with the job before it was completed.

I worked with Sarah to convert my photography studio into a live/work place. We re-modelled the kitchen with a new design which included a new wall to support new kitchen cabinets. We also took out the existing bathroom & updated with a new shower/toilet/cabinet with new tile. The bedroom was updated with a new custom closet & barn doors to compliment the look & feel of the space. The living space was updated with new furniture that made the place inviting. The office was also updated to make it a work practical space. Sarah was very prompt with her replies to emails phone calls & sourcing out new products/contractor to get the job done within my budget & time frame. Overall very happy with Sarah's services & I would highly recommend her to anyone. Doug S. Toronto, On

As a Realtor in a fast paced market, it's tough finding a great design expert I can count on. Sarah has consulted and staged for me and my clients on many occasions. She is professional and can adapt to every taste and space well. Not only does she offer a wealth of knowledge and experience working in all types of spaces, she is always right on when it comes to budget and she's always consistent and very reliable! I will continue to recommend Sarah to all my clients for all of their design needs.

Sarah has been providing services for my Real Estate clients for the last 4 years and every time my clients thank me for the introduction. Time and time again Sarah is able to come through whether it is decorating a small condo to maximize space or a complete redevelopment project. Her eye for design not only creates a liveable space for her clients but also helps them achieve a higher sales price when they go to sell. She even helped me design my condo (and talked me out of buying a purple rug - which I am very thankful for). Thanks Sarah.

Sarah did a fantastic job designing my newly built condo considering she had to do most of the planning without seeing the unit firsthand (it was under construction). She visualized pieces that would fit together and guided me into making the best decision possible in terms of picking the right furniture, blinds, lighting, artwork, etc. I couldn’t be more pleased with her work as I continue to receive compliments from friends on the contemporary/industrial look of the finished unit. Sarah is an absolute pleasure to work with, and would definitely recommend her services to anyone!

Sarah is the best. She helped us decorate our entire first floor and we couldn't be happier. She managed to help us pull everything together, make it look fabulous, be toddler friendly, and on a budget. She also picked out all our paint colors for the entire house. I was skeptical initially because it involved colors that I wouldn't normally have picked myself but it all looks great. We continue to get compliments on everything from friends and neighbors. Couldn't recommend her more.

I hired Sarah to help me improve the overall design and style of my apartment. She was also very involved in some remodelling to optimize space. Sarah was great - very hands-on and always available to answer questions. Everything was done on budget and would highly recommend her!

I hired Sarah from High Street Design to help create a vision for my newly purchased home. She was great to work with, very professional and delivered design recommendations in a timely manner. She created an overall look for the house and then helped with specific design approaches for each room. I would highly recommend her services.

In our quest to pull together a comfortable yet modern living space, Sarah provided invaluable guidance and direction. From the beginning, we found we could trust her judgment and appreciated her willingness to incorporate differing ideas, which was consistently demonstrated throughout the collaborative process. We continue to receive compliments on our home and look forward to working with Sarah on future design projects!

Sarah of High Street Design completed my own office design/decorating and I continually receive compliments as to the quality of the finished product, her ability to capture my taste/personality into the design aspects and I further now enjoy coming to work each day in this environment she's created! Her attention to detail and managing every detail from products involved to managing the trades required gave me confidence in the quality while allowing me to focus on my own endeavors. Highly recommended !

Sarah shows professional,courteous, and prompt attention to every detail. She is quick to understand my decorating needs and has a special talent for realizing my requirements. I strongly recommend her services!

Sarah did a fantastic job decorating our downtown loft. She was great in applying her keen eye for contemporary and modern design, and in sourcing great, unique items through her knowledge and connections in market. Sarah can make any space look like a million bucks with her thoughtful ability to mix high&low. She was professional, prompt, easy to communicate with and bounce ideas off of. A pleasure to work with!

I hired Sarah with High Street Design to beautify my condo prior to putting it on the market instead of going the traditional route and hiring a stager. Three sold condos later and still using the furniture/accessories in my current home, I can honestly say I'm glad I found her. I've also referred Sarah to 2 of my friends which speaks volumes for her level of customer service.

I hired Sarah to help me transform my new condo into a stylish bachelor pad. Sarah responded quickly and within a few days came over for a consultation to ‘evaluate the situation’. The condo is about 600sf and I had a few key pieces that needed to be integrated into the design. Sarah took a close look around and we went through a lot of ideas in magazines and online. After the initial consultation, Sarah went away to brainstorm based on our discussions. She came back for another session and reviewed some diagrams she had drawn up to help me visualize what the space could look like. I immediately liked what she had proposed and she helped me to go several locations to find pieces to make the dream a reality and led me through the entire process. Sarah was a savior (who knew there were so many different shades of gray) and I am very happy with the results. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Sarah again and I have recommended her to friends and family.

Sarah has an exacting eye for design, colour, and composition. From start to finish, Sarah had a vision for what I style I wanted and guided me into making the best choices in paint colour, flooring, lighting, furniture, art and accessories. She has a talent for seeing how all the pieces fit together to create the modern, stylish city condo I aspired for. I would recommend Sarah to all my friends and co-workers looking for design inspiration.

I hired Sarah the first time 3 years ago to help me redesign my newly bought condo. A baby and a new house later, I had the same need to give personality to the new home. Sarah has a gift for picking just the right item for the right place, and the whole home looks gorgeous with a cohesive look throughout. Sarah provided guidance and advices during the whole process, and we can now enjoy a great looking home. I'd highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of an interior designer.
