Simply Home Decorating

I had such a wonderful experience with Lori and her team. Lori stopped at nothing to ensure my apartment was decorated and minor renovations were done to my full satisfaction. She personally ensures every detail is perfect all the way until the very end. Her professionalism was inspiring and unlike any service provider I’ve worked with. Lori’s knowledge of design, her vision, and her connections with providers is remarkable. She was able to articulate thoughtful ideas + make creative and beautiful suggestions—then make everything come together drawing on the talented artisans and vendors she works with. I’m beyond pleased with the result. I didn’t know I could feel so content, comfortable, and at peace in my home. It looks beautiful but most importantly, it feels like “me.” Somehow Lori was able to make this all happen. Above all, I felt Lori took my project to heart and truly cared. You can tell by how my place looks now. I’m so lucky to have worked with her and can’t recommend her enough.

I wish I could provide Lori and her team ten stars instead of five. We had an excellent experience through this process. Lori took our ideas/style and made our wish list happen. We were so impressed with her professionalism, knowledge (design, products, cost, and availability) and her Trades. Every person that works for Lori has been hand picked. She only has Trades that take pride in their jobs and strive for the best quality of workmanship. Our job was completed ahead of schedule, and we were very pleased it was under budget. This was an enjoyable process with a beautiful result. I would recommend Lori at Simply Home Decorating.

Terrific job on this Vancouver kitchen! Every feature is so carefully thought out and executed! Having struggled with a galley kitchen's limited space for years I really appreciate the amazing transformation that took place here!

Simply Home Decorating recently helped us with a decorating/furnishing project in our open concept living room, dining room, entry, and we couldn’t be happier. We’ve worked with four different interior designers over the years in various locations, and while we were happy with the end results of each project, Simply Home Decorating was by far the best that we’ve worked with. Lori and her team focus as much on the end-to-end design process and client relationship as they do on the end result, and that’s what truly sets them apart. There were three main areas that impressed us: Proactive communication. Taryn oversees a lot of the day-to-day communication for Simply Home Decorating, and she is amazing. She was organized, thorough, and sent us regular check-ins even during the waiting period of the process. We knew what was happening every step of the way, and it gave us peace of mind to know that SHD was on top of everything. Lori and Taryn were also quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had along the way. Design for real life. Unlike designers who are focused on the current trends or their social media presence, Lori and her team put their clients at the center. They are geniuses at interpreting likes, dislikes, and overall design aesthetic (even if you cannot articulate it yourself) and making it a reality. SHD also understands how important functionality is in a space and makes sure to factor in things like pets, hobbies, and lifestyle in the design recommendations. With you every step of the way. We’ve been through enough renovation and decorating projects to know that things rarely (if ever) go 100% as planned. What really impressed us about Lori and her team was that we felt like they were in our corner the entire time and helped us navigate these unexpected bumps and challenges. In our project, we had a “lemon” of a sectional sofa that resulted in multiple repair and replacement attempts spanning a year. I’m sure the manufacturer would have written us off as customers after the second replacement, but Lori and the team negotiated and fought on our behalf until we found a solution. We’re currently saving money for our next decorating project, but will definitely be calling Lori and the Simply Home Decorating team when the time comes. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

Lori and her team completed my multi-step downsizing project in a seamless and professional manner. They looked after all the details (movers, packers, storage, trades, etc.), and all I had to do was give them guidance on a number of high level design matters. It was exactly the assistance I was looking for, and I highly recommend Lori and her team to anyone needing help with a complicated relocation and redecoration project.

I can't say enough about how great the experience of working with Lori and the team has been. It almost feels awkward telling friends about our renovation experience and how great it was knowing that almost everyone else's experiences have come with frustrations and missed expectations. We are ecstatic with the results!

Lori and team provided full project management for a cross country move for us: from Ontario to a new Vancouver apartment. This included full interior design, trades' management, contents purchases (linens to furniture), set up and support. The team even met our moving truck! Lori's design sense on all measures kept 'place' in mind, as well as balanced form and function ~ we are thrilled with the outcome. Lori quickly understood our needs; offered tailored options and was confident in providing her opinions when an element was important for the overall aesthetic. We salute her team and the exemplary service they provided. Our project was on time and on budget. Thankyou Lori and team - you were wonderful to work with. J and H

Lori and her team prioritize effective communication and provide clear instructions and timelines for each project.

They have consistently delivered outstanding results, exceeding their clients' expectations on every occasion. Their emphasis on maintaining high standards is reflected in the final outcome of each project, leaving clients satisfied and proud of their newly designed spaces. We look forward to each and every call we receive from Simply Home Decorating! - Wespac Electrical Contractors Ltd.

Working with Lori and her amazing team was THE highlight of our renovation project. Her ability to perceive and execute on our (at times) nebulous vision was almost extra-sensory, and we couldn’t be happier with the way our project turned out, it couldn’t feel more like our home. Accessible, prompt, reliable, creative, solutions/detail oriented are all appropriate descriptors for working with the Simply Home team. We couldn’t be happier with the experience, thank you for your amazing work!

Lori is a visionary and masters execution to the finest detail all at the same time. When she first met us to know more about who we are and how we live, she could right away envision how we could use the space in our kitchen and living room. We trusted her decisions and are so glad we worked with her and her team. The results exceeded our expectations. Lori and her team were a delight to work with - coordination with all the trades, fast problem-solving, regular updates, professional and friendly attitude of her entire team - made it the dream team. Thank you SHD for making our living space so beautiful!

Lori listened to our love of nature and designed our condo reflecting that love. It is beautiful, serene and welcoming. We couldn't be happier. Her Administrative Assistant, and tradespeople were extremely helpful, and a delight to deal with. We look forward to a continued relationship on our next phase.

Working with Lori and her team at Simply Home Decorating was a great experience. Lori listened to us; the design she came up with was both beautiful and practical for our family. Renovations can be stressful but working with Simply Home made the process much more pleasant. Simply Home's project management and their longstanding relationships with reliable trades meant we could relax, knowing that everything was taken care of. If an issue arose, the entire Simply Home team was quick to address it. They were excellent at communicating with us—we never felt like we didn't know what was going on. We would highly recommend working with Simply Home Decorating.
