I moved into an older condo and really needed help choosing new paint colours. The lack of natural light was challenging and I wanted a warm colour that wasn’t too dark nor did I want off white. Rael understood right away and recommended colours for all the rooms that worked together. The updated wall colour and trim is perfect and the condo looks amazing! Rael also offered helpful suggestions for upcoming renovations with flooring and the kitchen and I look forward to working with her again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for your interior design projects.

Barb thank you so much. I'm looking forwards to working with you again as well when we go out to source and select your new floors. Let me know when you're ready for the Kitchen - I'm so ready to tackle it!

From working with Rael, we found that she possesses an unique skill and ability to find effective solutions for every obstacle or challenge that we came upon. Until we met and worked with Rael, our initial thought of hiring an interior designer wasn't high on our list of To Do's, when we were planning our move from our home on the coast to our new home in West Kelowna. Our initial thoughts were that interior home designers were expensive and possibly difficult to work with.
To our delight we had a great working relationship with Rael. We found her very easy to work with. She was honest, genuine and very personable. From my first conversation with her on the phone, I knew she was the person for us. To our amazement, she saved us more money than it would of cost us if we did the designing and planning ourselves. (with her creative ideas, budget solutions and her contractor discounts with numerous companies).
We will definitely be recommending Rael to all our friends and family.

Awww thank you both so much! I am very pleased with everything we've accomplished on your renovation. We tackled so many areas and made such clever decisions to get the most out of everything the house has to offer you guys. I am so excited for you to be rid of that horrible old Cherry Kitchen!! Cheers to the beautiful new, light, bright, and airy Kitchen, gorgeous new interior colour palette, new furniture! Most importantly, wishing you a big formal welcome to the Okanagan!

online question about our project
I had found a picture of a Cedar Roof Rael had done and it was beautiful! The Cedar had no more orange tones to it whatsoever and turned it to an amazing grey! This is just the perfect transformation we are looking for in our Cedar Log Home. I had a simple question for her as to how she achieved this and she was quick to reply with extreme details on her process. Very informative and helpful information was given! We really appreciate that we can get answers quickly from a professional like Rael!

Without hesitation we would highly recommend Rael for any design or Colour project!
We had just moved to Kelowna and had purchased a house in a great location but it needed a new facelift to bring it up to modern day.
Soon after purchasing the house I was in touch with Rael and planning our new renovations.
Rael was very quick to respond and happy to help with the project.Rael helped us see things that I would have never have thought of changing to make the space more functional and her taste for design and colour was outstanding.
Rael helped us with ideas on opening walls, kitchen counter choices, kitchen cabinet colours, luxury vinyl and carpet choices, enhancing the colour on our brick fireplace, window and door options, fireplace mantel suggestions, ceilings, also the entire house paint colours. Rael also designed a space in the house with two options of how we should use it and how eventually it can be changed if we choose to do so.
Rael also provided us with several contacts to help us with our renovation which extremely helped with the timeline speeding up the renovations.
Rael is a wonderful talented designer! Her service was outstanding as well as her professionalism. It was a pleasure to work with her and we will continue to do so...
Thanks for everything Rael!

I booked Rael for a consultation to help choose new paint colours
for the interior of our house. Rael not only supplied new colours
to update our house, she was also a wealth of information to
bring all the elements together of previous updates to create
one look. She suggested resources that are cost effective and that
can be done by ourselves.
Rael is enthusiastic and communicates extremely well.
I highly recommend her and am excited to see our new look.

I needed help with color selection for my Reno and Rael was my guiding light! She has amazing skills in choosing colors that work together and transformed my 90’s kitchen and living room into a modern beautiful space! Rael always understood my vision and used her creativity and sharp eye for color to enable me to move forward with the Reno. She is such a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.

I was extremely happy with Rael as she is very friendly, easy to talk to and listened to what it was I wanted in my condo update. Every detail was addressed and her input to picking the paint, new carpet, upholstery, window coverings was excellent! Thank you Rael for a job well done!

Raelistic did an amazing job helping us design our custom built home. Rael was a true professional with an incredible eye for design. The colour scheme from our exterior to our interior is beyond fantastic it is a perfect fit for us. Rael was very patient and understood what suited us and our home best. She was always aware of the deadlines for when projects were to be completed. The stress of building a new home is hard enough but thanks to Rael the design was completely stress free. Thank you Rael we could not have done it without you!!!

We had recently purchased a condo in Kelowna. We were having trouble making a decision with paint color and to finalize the renovations. Went in Houzz and searched for interior designers in area. Rael 's pictures from previous design jobs reflected what we wanted in our condo. We met with Rael and were very pleased with her advice on paint color. She gave us great ideas on how to finish off our kitchen island and advice on the kitchen backsplash. Very pleased with Rael's professionalism, her guidance and support to complete our renovations

Rael really has a knack for combining contemporary Ideas and products into her designs. I worked with Rael and her husband on their own home and was happy to take their existing 1960's home and and create something really unique.
