Dinnissen Design Co Ltd

I've worked with Nathalie and Julie on three separate projects and they've all turned out perfectly!! They are both so lovely to work with and collaborating with them is fun and easy. I had basic ideas in mind for all the projects we worked on, and they took my ideas and turned them into much more refined versions of what I was originally thinking. They are so open to using colour and texture and bold patterns and I'm so thrilled with the way my kitchens and bathrooms turned out! I think I need to stop renovating for a while, but I would definitely work with them again for any other projects that come up!

Nathalie and Julie were delightful to work with. They were very responsive, helping us stay abreast of changes and complications during construction. They listened closely to us and helped us bring our dreams to life! Highly recommend.

Finding Dinnissen Design Co. on Houzz was a total game-changer for me. I'd been musing about a kitchen reno in my 100-year-old character home for upwards of a decade but my husband and I were hesitant to dive in and open ourselves up to what we feared would be a boatload of troubles. As far as we knew, our 1923 kitchen had last been renovated 50 years earlier and posed numerous constraints including inadequate electrical, four layers of tile flooring, zero straight lines, low ceilings, and ancient lathe and plaster walls. When I came across Dinnissen's website, I was immediately impressed by what I saw and by the glowing reviews so I decided to fill out an online inquiry form. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Julie responded promptly and showed up at my house full of enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. In short order, she had created a beautiful design, which she and her contractor executed to a T. From the initial design stage to ongoing consultations to completion, the renovation was a total dream and the results exceeded my expectations. Julie has impeccable taste and her background in interior and architectural design resulted in a stunning kitchen that is both functional and in sync with the style of our home. Her choices for cabinets, tile, hardware, etc. were tasteful and design-forward. She and the contractor (including the electrical, tile, and plumbing sub-trades) were reliable, talented, and meticulous. They completed the entire renovation from demolition to move-in-ready in six weeks—on time and budget. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

We had an amazing experience with Nathalie at Dinnissen Design Co. We used them for both our walk in and mud room closets. Cannot say enough good things. The process was fun and stress free. Nathalie brings a wealth of knowledge and design input to all her work and it shows. She came, looked at the spaces and came up with designs that met both our needs and style. I am very particular when it comes to fine details, DDC and their amazing installer delivered. It was one of the most stress free experiences of our entire reno and we have received a lot of compliments on our closets. People have been blown away at the quality of both the product and the install. Would highly recommend if looking for top notch custom cabinetry and decor. My only regret is not knowing about them soon enough as we would have had them do our kitchen as well.

Working with Julie was a great experience from start to finish! She produced numerous renderings and was patient while we settled on a design and look. In the end, we chose one of her first designs for my kitchen! Julie utilizes a quality cabinet supplier who has many options. She provided sound design advice throughout the entire process of renovating the kitchen and two bathrooms of my condo. She combined aesthetics with function and we utilized the space well. She was on sight during all the key stages of the renovation. I was quite hands on and we worked well together choosing the material and making final decisions on the finishing. She was available at all times and checked in regularly with the contractors. I was pleased with the quality of their work. The vendors/resources that Julie uses have excellent product selection and the cost was usually very competitive. If something wasn't quite right with the reno, she'd ensure that it was rectified quickly. She provided a budget but at times, I chose hardware and finishing that increased the costs. In the end, the renovation was completed within the budget that I set for my renovation. I love the look and function of my renovated space; the two bathrooms are slightly different but there is harmony with the kitchen and rest of the space. Julie is personable, creative and listens to her clients. I highly recommend working with Dinnissen Design Co. Ltd.

I’ve worked with Julie from Dinnissen Design twice - the most recent on my dream home. I had a strong vision for the project and Julie helped realize it with careful consideration and smart choices. The process was seamless, efficient and quick. She was very responsive and worked hard to keep everything on track and on budget. I truly enjoyed working with Julie, and recommend her without hesitation.

The thought of having to renovate our kitchen filled with me with a sense of dread. Having to navigate the world of contractors, designers, and scheduling deliveries gave me hives just thinking about it. And then I found Dinnissen Designs. From the moment I met with Nathalie, I felt a sense of calm reassurance. We had a conversation about my vision, my needs, my preferred style and through that she designed the most incredible kitchen. I didn't need to stress about scheduling deliveries or managing contractors. All I had to do was pack up my kitchen and move back in when it was done. Natalie, is highly professional, and her design ideas exceeded my wildest expectations. Natalie and her team consistently delivered, and their professional yet warm approach turned what I thought would be a daunting kitchen renovation into a very manageable project. Let's be honest, a kitchen renovation is going to disrupt your life. There were moments when it felt never-ending, but knowing that everything was in capable hands, and I didn't have to worry about any issues, made the process much easier to live with. In the end, I got more than I ever dreamed of – a unique and stunning kitchen. It's a beautiful, functional space where my family can cook and spend quality time together. Any other renovations in our house will be done by Dinnissen Designs!

Nathalie did an amazing job with helping us create two functional good looking kitchens in our new house! Her service was excellent and she stayed in communication throughout the whole process from design to complete installation. There was a cabinet shipped with the wrong door but that was fixed quickly thanks to Nathalie’s attentiveness. I absolutely recommend Her services!

A fantastic design team! A highly professional and meticulous individual, Julie provides exquisite designs that greatly enhance any project. And Scott, of course, supplies the most scrupulous installation guaranteeing the successful completion of the job. The Dinnissen Design team are very well informed and go the extra mile at every stage, supporting from beginning to end of the process. I would recommend them unreservedly! Adriana Braga

We decided to do a major renovation to our kitchen and main floor of our home. I had two consultations that left us feeling less than comfortable. I didn’t feel like the designers could help me achieve my vision for our new kitchen. I wanted something unique. Our floor plan is tricky and has two different elevations that baffled the other two designers. We wanted to integrate the design to make the two spaces feel connected. A good friend recommended Nathalie of Dinnissen Design Company. I called Nathalie and we met within a couple of days. Within a week we had some workable designs and shortly thereafter we committed to the process of getting the cabinets, countertops, tile and flooring ordered. When Nathalie came on board the old kitchen was completely gutted. She organized tile, flooring selection, cabinetry and delivery. We decided to do the flooring ourselves since we are pretty handy. We entrusted Nathalie with the organizing of the cabinetry and installation as well as the countertops. She has all the right connections! She had so many great ideas and asked me to trust her and I’m so glad we did! Her attention to detail brought my dream kitchen to fruition. We collaborated a lot via email and text. She was very attentive and communication was easy. She figured out what I wanted very quickly. It was so nice just to have Nathalie take care of all the complicated stuff with the cabinets and scheduling installers etc. Her team is amazing! Her finishing carpenter is the best! Absolutely meticulous. The counter top guys also did an amazing job for us. We would have never been able to put this kitchen together without Nathalie’s expertise. She came by several times during the installation process to ensure that her people understood our end goal. Nathalie really cares for her clients and you can tell she loves what she does. I have already recommended Dinnissen Design Company to two neighbours. Don’t hesitate to hire Dinnissen Design Company. I’m so grateful that we did!

When we first started visioning our home build, my partner and I knew that we needed significant help with interior layout and design elements. We were fortunate enough to be connected to Nathalie and Julie, owners of Dinnissen Design Co. Ltd! Not only were they a fantastic fit for what we needed, we were blown away that we could access their skill, connections, and availability in our remote and rural area of BC - it was a true gift to work with them...and the resulting kitchens, bathrooms, pantry, walk-in-closet, and laundry room are s-t-u-n-n-i-n-g!!! When friends and family see our home they are blown away by the flow of our spaces and the beauty of the built-in elements. We cannot say enough - thank you!

Don't hesitate to invite the Dinnissen design team into your project world. I was so pleased with our design and then with the entire kitchen renovation. Their ideas are fresh and current; the materials are luxe and the execution was perfect. The designs and the delivery dates exceeded my expectations. Along the way there was good advice and good communication too. A real pleasure to work with.

For many years we considered renovating our very dated kitchen but we were overwhelmed with the prospect. Immediately upon meeting Julie we were incredibly impressed with how she listened to how we used the space and incorporated the information into a beautiful and thoughtful design. Our project was quite large and Julie was there every step of the way, coordinating with our contractor throughout. She was in very regular communication with us and we knew she was only a text or email away (with immediate responses) whenever we had a question. We had high expectations and they were more than met. We couldn’t be happier with our new space and the top-notch service we received!

We used Dinnissen Design to help with our house build. Originally I had contacted Nathalie to help me with the design around my fireplace area but we got to talking about some of the other rooms in the house and we ended up using DDC for all of our rooms with millwork (three bathrooms, fireplace area, laundry, and two kitchens). I have to say it was one of the best, if not the single best decision we made for our house build. Nathalie was there every step of the way helping with design, ordering samples, bouncing design and color ideas off of, creating renderings (I'm a visual person so seeing what it was going to look like was a huge help), contacting trades and installers, providing suppliers for us to reach out to for plumbing, lighting, etc. Our house is the house of my dreams. It turned out better than I could have ever imagined. She was super helpful throughout the whole process and worked with my general contractor to make things come together. This took a lot of stress off my husband and I. If we were ever to do a reno or another house build there is no doubt in my mind that we would use DDC.

The cabinets are good quality. Some had some minor knicks from shipping and it was not a problem getting a replacement Natalie was great to work with. She listened to what I wanted and implemented it well. Pleasure to work with!

From the moment I met Julie I knew she understood what I wanted from my complete kitchen renovation and would be able to convert my ideas and needs into a design that was functional and fit my style. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, my kitchen is absolutely beautiful and so easy to work in - not a detail was missed. Through the time I worked with Dinnessen Design Co I was constantly impressed with their responsiveness and ability to quickly provide samples and examples of products to help me through my decision making process. Their pride in their work is evident in the attention to details in both the design and cabinet installation. I have nothing but great things to say about working with Dinnissen Design and recommend you consider them for your next renovation.

Nathalie and Julie, the dynamic duo behind Dinnissen Design Co, are an absolute delight to work with! As an Interior Photographer, I capture many beautiful spaces for a wide range of clients, but the heart that these two put into each and every project really shines through. Moreover, I've never seen Designers share such rapport with their Clients! Whether it's discussing the final details of a project, or simply chatting about life, it's clear that both Nathalie and Julie care deeply about the people behind the design. For them, it's about helping you build the life you envision...with the perfect space to match!

Had my kitchen design done by dd and couldn’t be happier. Worked with my small space and came up with a functional and aesthetically pleasing look. Good knowledge of colors/textures/clean ability and kitchen flow. Installer Scott was top shelf with flawless install. Well done. See you in 25 years for the next one. Carson Drayson

Great Girls to work with fast and efficient! if you are a visual person they can show exactly what your project will look like before starting or purchasing anything! and if not happy they will make the changes for you!

Over the past two years Julie has helped us renovate our homes in Burnaby and in Whistler. We are beyond thrilled with the beautiful kitchens, bathrooms, laundry room and bedroom renovations she designed and brought to completion for us. Julie is so friendly and easy to work with, has wonderful creative ideas and all the way through incorporated our preferences and even some changes we asked for as the projects went along. She was very careful to work within our budget and stay within the estimates she gave us. We also appreciated how Julie oversaw the entire process of the projects and worked closely with Scott Howell to ensure a beautiful finished product. We couldn't be happier with our fresh and beautiful undated homes and highly recommend Julie if you are looking for help with any home renovation projects. Susan and Doug Reddy

Our original contractor Did Not complete our Kitchen renovation. We contacted Julie of Dinnissen Designs and she met with us and assured us that her team at Cabico and her installation crew, can complete to our satisfaction. Julie was great, she met with us and noted all our outstanding concerns and came up with a plan, budget and schedule. Julie was Friendly, Understanding and Very professional. The day of installation, she was on site with her crew;..Installation crew where so professional and friendly, they did an Excellent job at finishing all the items on our list left uncompleted by the original contractor. The Kitchen now looks fantastic and we are so happy with how Julie and her team took care of all the details... Our sincere appreciation to Julie and her entire Dinnissen Design team, Job Well Done. We would highly recommend Dinnissen Design to anyone who is looking for a Professional, Friendly and detailed minded total Kitchen/Bathroom renovation company.

I have only the best things to say about my kitchen and bath renovation In Kitsilano. Julie took the ideas I came to her with and made my home exactly what I had imagined. Scott did the contracting after design was planned according to my budget and requests and did a wonderful job. They were thoughtful, timely and respectful of my home. They even looked after my dogs a few times while there working. They stuck to their estimate and had no unexpected add on costs other than a few upgrades I decided on while the work was underway. Julie was quick to integrate those changes and expedite getting them completed. I am beyond happy with the project from start to finish and would highly recommend them both.

I contacted Dinnissen Design Co for advice on light fixture replacements. I had been struggling for about 3 years on how to choose the right lighting for my kitchen. The existing fixtures were awful, but I couldn’t figure out how to work with the space. On the same day I contacted DDC I got several samples sent to me, and some much needed advice on where to purchase the lighting that would fit the space. I will definitely be contacting them again! And plan to hire them to design my dream kitchen & bathrooms in my forever home. Five stars isn’t enough; they deserve 10 stars minimum!!

The transformation of my “cheater” bathroom, an inefficient 1980s design with one shared bath tub/shower with one sink in each section, to two full bathrooms is something I’ve wanted since buying this house 20 years ago. Julie Dinnissen has designed two beautiful and highly functional bathrooms. Julie designed my kitchen a couple of years ago and when it was time to design the bathrooms, I reached out to her for her expertise. I still love every aspect of my kitchen and knew it would be the same with the bathrooms. The final product: one bathroom has an extra large custom shower stall and the ensuite, two sinks with tons of cabinet/drawer storage and a deep soaker tub with a back warmer. Julie worked within my budget and provided more economical options that still look amazing and as one friend commented, my bathrooms look like a spa. Julie considers the little things - like putting the taps on the adjacent wall. You can turn on the shower without having to dodge the shower water and when in the tub, you don’t have to move to add more water. Genius. And the shower glass, most have a green hue but the supplier that Julie sourced has glass that is clear. The oval mirrors with a black frame that she chose add so much more to the aesthetics than the standard slab of glass. When she saw them at the store, she knew they belonged in my bathrooms. It’s those little touches that some might not think of, Julie does. Julie coordinated the renovation with the contractor, Howell’s Carpentry, and they worked in tandem to make sure the delivery/installation schedules aligned. I highly recommend Dinnissen Design! Julie is responsive, creative, and can create gorgeous results within budget. Thanks, Julie!

I have worked with Julie for over 6 years now. Her professionalism and organisational skills are outstanding. She has a very strong knowledge of cabinetry and construction which reflects well in her designs and her ability to manage projects and forsee any potential problems. She always comes on site to oversee her projects and make sure that everything runs smoothly. This ensures that the project runs as efficiently as possible.

Working with Julie and Dinnissen Design Co. has been amazing. I have had the pleasure of photographing the majority of their projects. The attention to detail of not only the work involved but also of who the project is for stands out on every job. I love meeting the homeowners, photographing the project and being able to fully understand why everything was done the way it was. You won’t find a cookie-cutter design with Julie as she is attentive to not just the design, but how it works as a part of your unique lifestyle!

We are so pleased with the final product of our kitchen and living room renovation! Julie came on board and quickly helped to narrow down options regarding materials and layout plans so we could start making decisions and move forward with the project, which we were struggling with prior to meeting her. She was so easy to work with and provided excellent plan drawings that helped us visualize what we wanted. She was very accommodating and was involved in every decision from start to finish, including every step in the contracting/trades work and overall project management. We now have the dream kitchen and living room that we always wanted. Thank you so much Julie!

Julie was incredible to deal with. Right from our first consultation, she started sharing her ideas and vision. She has so many great ideas depending on your budget. Julie takes notes and is very organized and good at what she does. It was also very refreshing to see she was very hands on with my renovations. She meets her Sub Contractors on site and makes sure the implementation process is done to perfection. Julie knows her line of work very well and it shows! It was a joy and pleasure to work with her!

Julie looked after our recent kitchen reno and we cannot say enough great things about her. She takes great care and time to understand her clients lifestyle and taste. For us, she achieved the perfect balance between form and function. She is extremely professional and punctual as are the tradespeople she works with. She was on hand and involved in every stage from demo to completion. Over the years she has put together a great team of suppliers and contractors. The final result was more than we expected.
