Nancy Lem Design

I have consulted with Nancy and due to her Design Accreditation, have requested her review and approval of some projects. Due to other issues, we weren't able to work together on that project but I will definitely call Nancy again if needed to review drawings for any future projects.

I recently purchased a house near the lake and it needed some interior upgrades. I hired Nancy to help me with ideas to achieve this. I am very pleased with the results,paint colours,kitchen makeover,window treatments and decor. Nancy is a joy to work with and she listened to where my direction was heading. I believe she has the knowledge and insight for any project,love my house!!

Nancy was recommended to us by our builder who often works with her. When we first met her, we were immediately impressed by the fact that she took time to listen to what we wanted. We will be building a brand new house and wanted her help to design the kitchen, bathrooms and to help us choose interior and exterior finishes. We told her what our present house was like and what we envisioned but told her to “ push” us out of our comfort zone. She came up with amazing concepts and designs. She chose materials and colours of stone, stucco, flooring, backsplashes etc and although we rejected some of her ideas, she quickly came up with other options that we loved. She found products that were not only beautiful and good quality but also reasonably priced. She very easily took our suggestions for redesign and did not seem upset if we did not go with all of her recommendations. She was very easy to work with, responded promptly and delivered in the time she promised. We enjoyed working with her and are very excited to see her ideas come to life. We would highly recommend her for any size project.

I purchased a new build subdivision home from a builder that accommodates floor plan customization. The floor plan possibilities were overwhelming so I hired Nancy for assistance. I achieved exactly what I was looking for from the design session with Nancy. She listened to my needs and suggested new ideas that I loved. She worked efficiently and demonstrated great talent and professionalism. Her revisions to the floor plan transformed my home and at the same time, helped me get the most bang out of my budget - ultimately leading to savings. Nancy was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to working with her again for additional services after my home is built.

We have been working with Nancy since 2013, and together have completed over 15 projects. She is an amazing interior designer, and extremely creative.

It was a true pleasure to work with Nancy on our kitchen renovation, which morphed into 2/3 of our house. Her professional designs are provided in a format that are easy to envision and she takes the time to get to know what it is you are interested in. She provides material options in a variety of price ranges. Her expertise shines through with how she puts everything together. She worked well with our kitchen supplier and our contractor. We have received many compliments on our renovations and would recommend Nancy.

We have been working with Nancy for the last 3 years . We do Custom houses and major renovation projects. She has been excellent. She is extremely easy to work with and flexible when it comes to budgeting and practicality. We love her perfect drawings and her knowledge for finishing. She has been so creative to make the impossible, possible. Thank you dear Nancy

I have worked with Nancy for over 10 years and you will not find a more talented, professional and caring individual. One who submerses herself in your project like its the only one that matters. Nancy's unique approach and keen design sense make for some very impressive and beautiful interiors.

This review is being written by the husband of the REAL customer--my wife. So the perspective may be different than what you expected. We were seeking a designer that we could consult WITH...not one who would take over and impose. We checked out some Toronto designers who came highly rated but they demonstrated a sense of unwelcome inflexibility (and enormous fees!) Nancy is almost a 5-star recommendation. She provided excellent value for her fees, is hard-working and attentive to client needs. She is diplomatic (beyond reason) when opinions differ. Ours was a 12 month project...so her trustworthiness was vital--particularly during the 6 months we were out of the country. The 5th star would have been awarded had Nancy been using computer technology for her drawings--instead of hand drawn plans. This slowed us down a bit and lead to some minor confusion with the contractor. But I have no doubt that some technology is in her budget! I have no hesitation in recommending Nancy Lem to you as a trustworthy and attentive consultative designer.

Nancy was always on time with her delivery of services, and had a very professional team helping her. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Nancy took our basic ideas and ran with them. We went from a few small renos to some wonderful upgrades that we are so pleased with. Nancy respected what we wanted, stayed within our price range and designed a beautiful space for us in our modest home. We love it!

I hired Nancy based on her reviews on this site. Nancy provided her guidance and advice throughout the job and steered it towards its completion.
