Nancy Lem Design

Nancy helped us with the interior design details for an extensive addition that we did at our cottage. Nancy is great to work with, she’s very professional and organized, she has clever ideas for optimizing spaces and great taste in decorating ideas. Her attention to detail ensured that everything went smoothly. Her recommendations for trades (cabinetry, plumbing etc) were spot on and saved us money. Our addition included a new kitchen, 2 new bedrooms, dining room, Muskoka room, mud room, spa room and 3 bathrooms.

Nancy has been terrific. She's very quick to respond to any emails/inquiries and has been an amazing help to my husband and I as we have very different tastes. She's designed and helped us with all of the upgrades we've done so far, with every detail from spacing of lights to drawer pulls. She will do as much or as little as you need and always has great ideas on what do with any space, large or small. I have recommended her to many friends doing renovations and would hire her again in an instant Jen and Larry Martin

Nancy did an outstanding job helping my husband and I design a complicated, new 2 story condo in Toronto. Her space planning and listening skills helped ensure that our preliminary design had good flow and packed a lot into the given space. Nancy’s artistic skills helped us visualize the outcomes along the way, and her attention to detail really showed in the many, many technical drawings that were always accurate the first time. She always delivered on time. And most importantly, she is a delight to work with. Should we ever take on another design project, Nancy will be the first one we call.

Nancy is very professional and provided us with an excellent end product. She completely transformed our living room and kitchen into two gorgeous spaces that we love. The design is sophisticated and flows beautifully across the rooms. The combination of wood and various natural stones is stunning. Nancy worked with our request to keep some of our current structures while incorporating new materials, such that the final design still came together beautifully. Her options were excellent and she helped my wife and I negotiate our different preferences. She worked well with our contractors and allowed modifications which was crucial in the creation of the final product. Overall, my wife and I would both highly recommend Nancy for your next renovation. She has many great ideas and is incredibly patient. Not only was she skilled, she also kept it fun. Ravi for Ravi and Karen and co.

Thorough professional approach to planning a main floor update. Nancy is very collaborative, approachable and provides many options. She is very knowledgeable about current trends, products and installation requirements. It was a pleasure working with her.

Nancy designed our new build, contemporary styled home. We couldn't' be happier! Nancy is very patient, professional and has a keen eye! She gave us ideas and design elements that we would not have come up with on our own. We love our new home! She was never without an idea or a solution. I worked very closely with Nancy (my choice to be more involved) and really enjoyed working with Nancy. She always listened and provided her creative insights. She has an easy going collaborative working style. I had previously seen a couple of other homes that she had designed and really loved the designs so that is how we came to find Nancy. I love what Nancy designed for us -- the designs are unique and every aspect considers function as well. I would hire Nancy again in a second!

This was the fourth time we used Nancy’s services. She did a total remodel of our business in 2009. A two floor re-model of our home in 2012. A re-model of a rental property in 2014. And recently; a design, and interior design of our current home. Her detailed drawings allowed me to walk through my space before a shovel broke the ground. She is creative, meticulous and always offered a choice of two if not three finishings to choose from. The end result is a beautiful, highly functional home, that includes an Elevator, Balconies, Hidden closets, and a Triple tiered bunk bed that sleeps six..... Nancy thought of everything. Absolutely love my home. Would I use her again? In a heartbeat.❤️

We have used Nancy's services several times over the past seven years and our experience this time is the same as always. Her work is impeccable and she always provides us with multiple options for every project.

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.
