About Us
SET For Design offers interior decorating and home staging services in Toronto and the GTA. As an interior decorator, Susan Toth believes in creating a 'whole' home. One doesn't need to get rid of cherished belongings to create a lovely environment. Nor do we think that a modern style has to involve nothing but contemporary elements. By mixing old with new, and high with low, you end up with something that's far more interesting and comfortable. It's also what we strive to do with every project.

I hired SET for Design (Susan Toth) to provide consultation on a living room renovation. My challenge was updating a living room with furniture in the Chippendale style (Queen Anne leg) and royalblue velvet couches. Susan provided me with excellent advice and 'jumping off points' for colour. This room really exceeded my expectations and has received rave reviews from visitors. Susan was also quick in responding quickly to me via voice, text and email. I found her to be a pleasure to work with. The only issue I have is that I don't think I will be able to renovate the rest of my rooms without her!!! I will definitely hire her again!

If I cut my own hair, it wouldn't look right. Same goes for interior decorating. Susan's practical advice and good taste made all the difference. Since I'm not ready to paint, her advice gave my front hall a much needed update with coordinating navy blue accents that suit my style. Susan knows what works for design today and always keeps the client's needs in mind. Thank you Susan!

Susan is great to work with. She guided the process professionally and always provided fresh perspectives and options both high and low. By trusting her advice I got a living room that exceeded my expectations and stuck to my budget. Completely worth the investment.

Susan helped us with some design and furniture layout in our condo when we first moved in. Subsequently, we decided to update a few pieces of furniture. I was getting frustrated trying to find a sofa and dining suite that would provide style and comfort for our new condo. Store after store and nothing seemed right. That's when I decided to call up Susan to see if she could help me in our quest. As a design professional she opened the door to sources that would not be available to me as a consumer.
After hiring Susan it took only two visits (one solo and one with my husband) before we finalized our orders. I wish I had called her much earlier! It would have saved me so much time.... and gas!
Susan was very professional and talented in her ability to zone in on our needs and our style. She was on-top of everything and the whole process was quick and easy... thanks to her! Five-star service!

We hired Susan Toth to help us design, furnish and decorate our front living room in our home. Susan did an amazing job. She was diligent, creative, resourceful,contientious and took in account our style and budget. She was always available and followed up on all loose ends.
We couldn't be happier with her work - or our finished front room!

We used Susan to help us turn a newly finished basement into a fantastic multi-purpose family retreat. We had first tried to do the basement on our own. We must have sat on 100 sleek but uncomfortable couches before we hired Susan. She showed us some photographs to determine our taste and quickly found us a beautiful, comfortable sectional that we love. She found us a carpet and perfectly coordinated pillows on-line and then took us to her favourite shopping places for accessories, artwork, and furniture. Susan was cost conscious throughout, finding us good deals and passing on her designer discounts to us. She was easy to work with, being patient, professional and upbeat when we were obsessive or indecisive. We are so delighted with our contemporary, stylish family retreat that we have abandoned the main floor!

I recently completed a redecorating project in my condo with the help of Susan from Set for Design. When I embarked on this journey, I knew I couldn’t do it myself as I found it challenging to mix traditional pieces with some of my contemporary furniture. My place lacked cohesion and excitement. Susan reassured me that even with a modest budget, we can achieve the goal of infusing some style into the space. Susan was very professional and attentive to my vision. With her assistance, I now have a place that I am proud to show family and friends.

Commented: I want your opinion plzI also agree with putting a rug to ground the room. Add an upholstered bench or large ottoman in the middle of the space. I would put a ghost chair (or even the Tobias chair from Ikea) at your make-up...

Commented: Looking for a few opinions on my choice of sofa fabric please....I agree with using your original textured choice. It looks to have some cream in it as well, and that will help to tie in your carpet and walls. I also think texture adds interest in a subtle way.

Commented: Carpet?The carpet already belonged to the homeowner- it was our jumping off point. I think it was bought from a store near the lakeshore in Oakville (sorry, that's as specific as I know).

Thanks!
The fabric is by Avant Garde and is called Venice. The sofa was purchased at a trade-only retailer called Van Gogh designs here in Toronto.
