Sense Of Style

Ani at Sense of Style and her team did the interior design and subsequent renovation of our ground and upper floors in 2023/2024, including in addition built-in cabinetry, furniture and drapery. I could write a whole piece on it but the experience was so good I couldn't do it justice without it becoming a whole essay. So I'll just leave it with this; Ani and her team did a perfect job for us. It was very important to us to have a good experience which meant a design that reflected our tastes 100%, contractors with workmanship of the best quality, a design and Reno process that was seamless and enjoyable and working with a team we enjoyed having around. Ani and her team fit the profile perfectly. It was a wonderful experience from day one. Ani in particular has a real eye for interior design and what will look good (we quickly realized some of our organic ideas wouldn't look as good as we were picturing it and hence learn't to defer to Ani more) and the team of contractors has experience working with her and making her visions reality. We were on time, on budget and we love the finished look. If you want an awesome experience and a Reno done right the first time I'd highly recommend Ani and her team.

Working with Sense of Style was a real pleasure from every interaction to seeing my most used and livable spaces transform into show-home like and artistic areas. Every step of the way they were there leading but also adjusting to our tastes and budgets. I would not hesitate to use Sense of Style again and refer them to family and closest friends.

When my husband and I decided to renovate our house we met with a few designers. Ani came to us highly recommended by our neighbour. After our first initial meeting with Ani we decided that sense e of style was the company for our project. We find Ani to be very knowledge and experience with her work. We talked about a few designs and after consulting with Ani we decided to renovate our entire first floor. Ani was very professional and she was very calming as renovations can be very stressful. Her construction team was very pleasant and easy to talk to. They worked really hard and did not compromise on quality. The house turned out beautiful! My husband and I are very satisfied with all the work that has been done; and we are thinking of renovating the rest of the house and we will not hesitate to use Sense of Style for our future projects.

I used Ani's services to renovate my family room, plus some updates to my entrance hall. The transformation was absolutely amazing. Ani has an incredible eye and taste. After just a couple of meetings she had a good feel for my sense of style/taste and the things that she showed me fit within my parameters. She recommended a custom side table to me that I was not able to visualize. I was somewhat nervous about going with what she recommended (which was not what I would have picked), but when the table arrived I absolutely loved it. Ani really cares about getting a final end product that will make the client happy and make the room look spectacular. I found that she is very professional and she promptly responds to all phone calls and e-mails. I would have no hesitation recommending Ani. As you can see from looking at her portfolio all of her projects are gorgeous.

Ani was the best. She worked wonders in our son’s new condo. She turned a very small space into a comfy and stylish home. She was the easiest, kindest woman to work with. She never overwhelmed me with too many choices and whenever I was not sure of something, always led me in the right direction. Her eye for colour and impeccable taste were demonstrated in the furnishings, lighting and artwork. Our son loves his new place thanks to Ani!!

I could not have picked a better designer/decorator for my home. Sense of Style, Ani, is extremely talented. She created my dream home. A beautiful, welcoming, and cohesive environment. She created the décor style perfect for me and my husband. Everyone who walks into my home gasps in awe on how beautiful it is. Ani made the entire decorating process an amazing experience. Shopping with Ani was truly enjoyable and magical. Watching her navigate through the stores with her keen décor/stylish eye, always finding the perfect items. Ani is not only talented, but she is also pleasant, kind, patient and generous with her time. If you’re looking to work with an awesome person and create a ‘WOW’ décor in your home, I would highly recommend Sense of Style, Ani.

I met Ani through friends that had worked with her on an extensive house project. She came highly recommended. Although most renovation projects usually involve some amount of stress, having an experienced and knowledgeable professional like Ani certainly makes the process easier and smoother. From the idea book, to the project design, the selection of contractors, materials, construction of the project and the décor, Ani provides support and assistance. Ani's attention to details and her commitment to the satisfaction of her client are some of the qualities that make her an asset to someone wanting to undertake a renovation project. I am happy with the final product and look forward to working with Ani again.

The decision to work with Ani from the outset of our recent renovation was easy simply because she came so highly recommended from very trustworthy friends and frankly, the work she did for them spoke for itself. We wanted to give a lift to a few rooms, including the entrance, the master bedroom and the living room. Renovations are expensive and complicated but with Ani’s knowledge and experience, the project was simplified and exciting from beginning to end. Ani oversaw every aspect of the project with her teams of contractors, tradespeople, manufacturers and retailers, all very professional. She is very respectful, patient and attentive to details as she gets things done to her clients’ satisfaction. She is a class act and wears the name, “Sense of Style”! Thank you Ani! Can’t recommend you enough and would never again think of doing a renovation without an Ani!!

Ani is a great designer and a wonderful person. She helped us with the kitchen renovation and the result was just unbelievable. She has a great team of contractors. She also finished redecorating our living, dining and family room. We are very happy and satisfied working with her and have already recommended her to our friends. She is not only knowledgeable in her field but also knows how to work with her clients, as per their taste and budget. She is not pushy and gives us our space & time, to understand her ideas. I will definitely use her services in future and will keep on recommending her to my friends and my clients.

Building a new home from the ground up is quite the adventure! Thanks to Ani, our journey was enjoyable and the results beautiful! She helped with every design detail and guided us in all of our decision making. I highly recommend working with her. Not only is she talented but she is professional, an excellent coordinator who ensures that the work gets done according to high standards, efficient, creative and the list goes on! Thanks so much Ani for all of your help! The project was truly a success! Working with you was the best decision we’ve ever made!

We enjoyed working with Ani. She is very helpful and pays attention to details. Ani is very creative too. Well done job for staging our home.

Ani staged our house so beautifully. Sold way over asking price. Worth every penny. Think of it as an investment. You’ll get it back and more.

I have worked with Ani on three major renovations in our home--master bedroom/bathroom, kitchen, family room-- and each one turned out beautifully. Ani started with our vision and gave us creative and practical ideas in layout, cabinetry design, lighting, window treatments, colour and decor. We worked collaborarively and I could trust her to make final decisions on things I wasn't sure about, knowing the result would be great. Ani is amazing and a pleasure to work with!

Ani and her company sense of style did another amazing project for me. This time is was a complete bathroom renovation - stripped down to the studs and taking out a closet in one of my bedrooms to provide a larger bathroom. She designed the layout and cabinetry and we shopped together for the tiles and hardware. She was easy to reach and available to answer my questions. She has great contractors and workers. I will continue to use her for any more renovations and have referred her to friends and family.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Ani for a renovation of our living and dining rooms as well as our basement. Ani truly listened to what we wanted and she brought her creativity and unique designs that worked with our style. She went out of her way to find specific artwork or sculptures that fit with what I was looking for and did more than what we agreed upon in our initial contract. She was also very flexible with my work schedule and arranged everything with the contractor and drape installation to make the whole process easy. Our dining and living rooms are stunning and our family loves the new basement. I highly recommend Ani as an interior designer.

Ani from Sense of Style is a wonderful designer. She has excellent ideas for blending different styles into a cohesive and elegant statement. Ani offers a network of experienced contractors, tradesman, retailers and consultants, all ready to make your home both beautiful and comfortable. Ani has worked on our 2000 sq ft condo in three phases, over 6 years and each has experienced the typical glitches and issues. Ani and her team work together to overcome any renovation issues to produce beautiful results. We are entering our final phase of the long term project and love our home more and more. She understands that beautiful design must also allow for comfortable daily living. Ani is effective in spending money where it matters, while meeting budget constraints in creative ways. Ani truly has a great Sense of Style and that makes her our only choice for a designer.

When I decided to redo my living and family rooms, I knew I needed help to give the them the total put together look I wanted. I searched for a designer on the internet and lucky me, I found Ani from Sense of Style. I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Ani listened to my thoughts and ideas regarding cabinetry, layout and colour and brought them together beautifully, in a way I could never have. Her attention to detail is outstanding and she really listens to what her client’s like and guides you to choices that look great. It was a real pleasure having Ani as my designer and I hope to call upon her again for other areas of my home. I would highly recommend Ani to anyone looking for someone to bring their ideas to fruition in a beautiful way.

Renovation of entire main floor. Sense of Style helped us invision the potential of an open concept design for our main floor and saw the project through from inception to completion. Ani is a true professional and gave attention to every last detail. The contractors who work together with Sense of Style were highly skilled and the work was completed in a timely manner. We highly recommend Sense of Style to anyone who is looking to renovate their home. Ani is very passionate about her work. She is personable and always willing to go the extra mile to help with decor selection. We have received many compliments on our renovations and have already referred people to Sense of Style. Thanks so much Ani. You’re wonderful and we look forward to working with you again.

I had a huge kitchen, hallway, powder room and laundry room reno this past February- April. Based on my past great experiences with Ani and her contractor, I sought her out again and was not disappointed. The results were spectacular. I told Ani that I wanted an elegant but comfortable look and boy did she deliver. As in last time I worked with Ani, she really respected my vision but was absolutely crucial with decor suggestion, colours, materials, design ideas etc. As well, I had a broken wrist and could not drive so Ani had to get me all sorts of places. Her contractor Pat, who we used last reno was great. When he said something would be done by a date, it was done by that date and on budget. He was respectful of our home and time line and budget. The company she uses for cabinets was fabulous. Dean and his workers did an amazing job. Ani, Dean and my husband and I consulted with any changes that we wanted or that Dean suggested. Ani was able to take me all sorts of places to choose items, colours etc. that I never would have found on my own and as a result my main floor is beautiful. As well, Ani is a very nice person, not pushy or attempting to make you do anything that is out of your comfort zone which is a very comforting idea when you are spending vast amounts of money and need to live with the results forever or at least a very long time. I would highly recommend using Ani in any renovation. Her versatility and talent are superb and she is darn nice!

We are very happy and pleased with the work done by Ani Semerciyan from Sense Of Style and her team. We gave her our brand new condo to transform it into our paradise, and she did it! She listens so well and has an excellent vision to project from just ideas to reality. Ani has a lot of knowledge in terms of decoration and she is very detail oriented and we connected so well that it seemed that we worked for the same team. Excellent job Ani, Pat & Dean !!! We would definitely recommended Sense of Style and we already have talked to friends and family members about the great experience we had with Ani. Thank you so much Ani....Well done!!!

The first impressive thing about Ani is that she listens and figures out what it is we want and how best she can guide us into transforming what we want into a really aesthetic experience. Secondly, the contractors she recommends for all sorts of jobs are remarkable not only for their craftsmanship but also for their affordability. Thirdly, Ani is very personable. You meet not only a professional at her best, but also a potential friend.

We hired Ani to help us gut an old condo apartment and create a modern, new home. Ani is very knowledable and resourceful and mostly respectful of her clients wishes and ideas. She is respectful of time considerations and worked very well with our contractor & trades. Ani was instrumental in helping us achieve our goals.Even todate, she is a phone call away .

Just a quick thanks to Ani and her team for the wonderful job the did in staging our home in Richmond Hill Ontario. She was kind enough to adjust schedules and react quickly to accommodate our needs on two different occasions. We would definitely use her services again in the future.

Ani and her team have done many projects for me over the past few years with great attention to quality and detail. As a real estate broker and developer myself, I pay close attention to small details others may not see and would certainly recommend them to anyone seeking project design/management and staging work.

When my wife and I started our very first full house reno project, we were full of skepticism, anxiety and indecision. Thank god we met Ani, the chief designer of Sense of Style, who guided us through with her professional and unique sense of style. During the project, we were amazed again and again by her sharp sense of color, pattern, architecture and innovative ideas, all catered to our needs. Her profound experience and skillful contractor management saved us from numerous project pitfalls. The reno project is way complicated beyond our initial expectations, both physical and emotional, and we wouldn’t be able to pull ourselves through it in one-piece without Ani. As we moved back in, enjoying every corner of view of our new house, bathing in every shade of color harmonized among the floors, walls, ceilings and furnitures, surprised by every beautiful shadow projected via various elegant rails, spindles, chains, branches, shades and glass plates, day and night, we feel like living in a luxurious with extreme satisfaction. Thank you Ani for realizing our dream!! We highly recommend Sense of Style to any friend, not only for the quality designs but also the professional ethics.

Ani is awesome! Every time I call her she is very accommodating to set up an appointment to review our project. Her design taste is what I like so whatever she does when staging my homes for sale is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend her to any of my associates.

From the inception of decorating our 6500sq ft house Ani showed extreme professionalism by always arriving on time and hitting deadlines as promised. How she transformed our bare house into a magnificent home speaks volumes about her creative mind and true passion for what she does. We always look forward to come home after a long days work and without Ani we wouldn't be here. So Ani, here's to you and all the hard work you put in. Love, the Saggu family.

Sense of Style is the group I will recommend to any person, friends or company that needs to do a re-stage, decorate or a big projects in their house. I hired Sense of Style for the third time already: To re-stage my house to sell To decorate a renting house To big project in my new house (Build a new basement, big projects around the house with upgrades and decorate the house). This projects increase the price of the house for more than $800K Thanks ANI for the amazing job you team do and how you can change our life!

We asked Ani to remodel our kitchen and to decorate our dining room. We are so happy with the results and must mention what a real pleasure it was working with Ani. Her professionalism, attitude, attention to details and sense of style were exceptional ! She listens to our needs and delivered. We would highly recommend Ani to anyone who is thinking of remodeling or decorating their home.

We found Sense of Style through Houzz reviews and pictures of Ani's previous work. This summer, we had a large renovation project of the entire main floor of an older house. We had a contractor for the job but needed someone with an impeccable sense of style to guide us through. With Ani we hit the jackpot! From the very beginning we loved her style, charming personality, and ability to seamlessly blend into the on-going project. She worked very well with our contractors, demonstrating a good grasp of technical aspects of a renovation project. She is very professional, patient, and attentive, adapting to accommodate styles, preferences and budgets. She keeps on track and cares about the final product. Throughout the whole process she guided and educated us about the importance of details, colors and balance. It is obvious that she is passionate about what she does and we trust her in her choices and suggestions always offered in a very respectful manner without imposing. It has been a great pleasure working with Ani and we would recommend her or hire her again in a heartbeat.

Ani staged our house and did an amazing job! She turned an average family home into a very stylish abode in less than a day.

Ani Semerciyan is a highly competent and very creative stager. I've used her services for the last 15 years and not once thought of using someone else. More importantly, my Clients are very pleased with her work and as a result they have repeatedly used her for interior decorating. Annie is very professional and gets her work done on time. As a real estate agent, I find that very valuable because time is of an essence. I have been in the business for 27 years, I have used different stagers, but I find that Annie is the best !

I am too busy to work with my design clients. I use Sense of Style because they provide the same wonderful style with kindness and respect. You will get the whole package...a Look Good and Feel Good result from DESIGN to STAGING and FANTASTIC customer service.

We recently hired Ani to redesign our main floor powder room, front entrance and laundry room. She met with us and was able to quickly learn our taste in design. She provided us fully thought out design options and guided us through the entire redesign process. She was able to source all the materials and she worked well with our contractor. She made sure every last detail was to our satisfaction. We are extremely happy with the final result. We look forward to working with Ani on future projects.

Ani worked with us on a basement reno. She proposed a complete re-do and then worked with us to modify the plan to suit our budget. We retained some of the existing features and she was happy to work with these when we chose carpet, cabinetry and paint colours. Her team of contractors did a great job. She is professional, easy to contact and responsive. Ani is fantastic and I would certainly hire her again.

We hired Sense of Style to design our main floor and take it from Builder drab to fabulous and Ani surpassed our expectations. She came highly recommended from a friend and we were not disappointed. The new design is elegant, chic and gorgeous! We could not be any happier with the results. As her company name states she really does have an incredible “Sense of Style” and a remarkable attention to detail. Ani has an amazing colour sense and style perspective and she was also able to realize our vision even when we had difficulty articulating what we wanted. Every item works together so beautifully and naturally. She is so easy to work with and her patience and creativity are boundless. Her contractors and vendors were also exceptional and very professional. We were very impressed with their workmanship. We have received so many compliments on the design and everyone loves our house! Thank you Ani! You are the sweetest and most thoughtful person! We love you!

WATCHING A WORK OF ART COME TOGETHER IS JOY, BUT MEMORIES ANI SEMERCIYAN HELPS CREATE IS ETERNAL We have known Ani Semerciyan, the founder of Sense of Style, for many years. She has worked on several projects with us, including basement renovation, family room makeover, and a few celebratory showers. Each time she has transformed a space into something that was beyond imagination. Her creativity level being nothing short of inspiring, there is always a WOW factor in what she touches. Never dull, never common and yet always current and innovative. Aside from her unique talent in design, color and technique, Ani is humble, reliable and easy to work with. Sense of Style is deserving of 5 STAR rating as they bring all the elements required to the table in décor, design, innovation and exceeding expectations.

Ani came well recommended by members of my family whose homes had already had the benefit of her magic touch. A deeply talented design professional, Ani's many strengths lie in her ability to acquire quickly,, an understanding of her client's needs, both intuitively and practically. As a client, this instilled trust, and allowed me to relax and observe the project unfold. The project was a partial basement renovation to accommodate a Reiki studio. A brief consultation was enough for her to gain an understanding of what I had in mind. She made all the arrangements for the trade work which took place both promptly and seamlessly. Throughout moments of uncertainty (on my part!), she gently reminded not to lose sight of my dream; so I didn't, and now it is reality. The entire process took less than two weeks! Thank you so much, Ani!

Ani has done many staging jobs for my clients. From the first job she did for me I realized that she was an amazing stager/designer who I can rely on. She is very prompt & the value she has brought to my business is beyond words. She transforms a usual house into a gorgouse one without over doing it. I have recommended her services to other real estate agents & they are all extremely happy with her work. I highly recommend Ani's services. She does an outstanding job.

We recently purchased an older condo and knew we would need a designer to turn it into our new home. Ani of Sense of Style was one of many designers I contacted, but she was the only one who was enthusiastic about working with our eclectic style and relatively small budget. All the references provided by Ani were extremely positive and accurate. She truly does have an incredible sense of style and was able to expertly incorporate several family heirlooms into the design. Ani managed our entire renovation including a new custom kitchen with pantry, new flooring, window treatments, a fireplace and master bathroom facelift, and paint throughout. Ani's contractor and trades were all very skilled and efficient. Our questions and issues were dealt with immediately and our satisfaction was of primary concern for everyone working under Ani's guidance. All the work was very well done and the overall effect is one of cozy elegance. We really appreciated Ani's commitment to staying on budget, while knowing where to spend money and where to save money. We would not only recommend Ani and Sense of Style for any renovation project, big or small, but we look forward to working with her again in the near future.

It is my privilege to have worked with Ani and her “sense of style.” She is an amazing designer and you cannot work with a nicer person. Ani is creative, motivated and excited about all her projects. She has worked on several renovations in my home over the last eight years and it has been my good fortune to have met her. She has a great work ethic and a wealth of ideas, but always listens to what her clients envision. She returns calls immediately, brings items to your home and shows you what they would look like. She keeps great notes and information on what you have talked about and always finds tradesmen who share her work ethic and attention to detail. Her business “Sense of Style,” is aptly named.

It all started the first of the year after we had a flooded basement and needed to renovate it. We were referred to Ani of Sense of Style to help us select and source flooring, cabinets, plumbing fixtures and paint colors and to recommend a contractor. We were so impressed with everything about her help that we decided to go ahead with extensive renovations in the rest of the house, using her design services and the contractor she recommended. We were not disappointed. We have ended up with a stylish, attractive, livable and salable house, all done within a reasonable budget. Thank you, Ani.

We originally hired Ani (Sense of Style) to stage our home in Aurora when we were preparing to sell it. She was extremely professional and did a consultation with us. From there she helped us re-arrange our existing furniture and art, and then had additional pieces brought in to complete the stage. We ended up selling our home for $10k over asking. We were so impressed with Ani’s “sense of style”, that we hired her again to help us with our new place. We bought a waterfront condo, and ask Ani to help us transform it into our dream home. We had a large list of changes, and Ani was able to help us get each completed through her various contacts, contractors and her own personal touches. Each of the contractors was very professional and did great work. Overall we had the bulk of the renovations done over a period of 3 weeks, with final accessories happening shortly thereafter. Ani helped us pick out all of the styles and colours to tie everything together. This included paints, wallpapers, cabinetry treatment, fabrics and other accessories. The extent of our renovation included the following: • Fresh paint in all rooms. • Carpet replacement in both bedrooms • Complete removal and re-build of the kitchen: new floor, cabinetry, lighting, backsplash, counter top and sink/faucet, stools to sit at the counter and accessories • Bathroom wallpaper and accessories • Master bedroom: wallpaper, paint, light fixtures and . We have 2 dogs, and Ani even helped tie in the their crates via fabrics and accessories. • Boy’s room (toddler): Car theme, including an F1 race car light fixture, wallpaper, car decals, unique shelves that are replicas of the front end of a Dodge Charger and Mustang, other car accessories and even a custom car-themed lamp made by Ani herself • Den: converted into a playroom, with zoo animal decals on the walls, gym style playmats and pillows, a unique cabinet was also installed to allow for storage of toys and extra blankets/pillows • Living and dining space: entertainment unit, wall mounted TV with no wires exposed, unique rug, awesome glass round table with fantastic white leather chairs, variety of accessories • Window treatments (50% of the walls are windows) including shades throughout the entire condo + drapes in the bedrooms • Balcony flooring, lighting and patio furniture. My wife and I were extremely satisfied with the quality of work done on our place by Ani. She was extremely professional and went out of her way to make sure we got the best for our budget. We couldn’t have done any of this without her, and our place is amazing now! We would highly recommend Ani’s services to anyone looking to stage or do renovations.

I hired Ani (Sense of Style) when I recently had my basement completely renovated, including a kitchenette, gas fireplace insert, and furniture refinishing. Ani was fabulous with ideas, colours and finishing touches that added a real elegance to the rooms. She was very easy to work with and respected that I had specific colours and ideas, and had to work within a budget. Ani saved me hours of work by coordinating everything that was being done, and helped me make good decisions. Her finishing touches and her eye for colour , fabric and textures are amazing, and I am absolutely thrilled with our finished basement. Ani found us the contractor who was great, completed everything with superior workmanship, and finished on time and on budget. I would highly recommend Ani(Sense of Style) to anyone redecorating/renovating.

Ani visited our home and provided the complete services to "stage" it before putting it on the market. She arranged for a team of painters to remove "patterned" wallpaper. The team painted the doors, the appropriate rooms, the trim, the garage door and the front door. Ani recommended the colours for the walls and trim. She also specified white Venetian blinds instead of curtains for many of the windows and new light fixtures that are modern and very attractive, to greatly improve the impression received by prospective customers. Sense of Style specified the de-cluttering required and the furniture to show our home at its best. Many items of furniture were removed or rearranged. Sense of Style supplied furniture and rugs that created the proper image. Art was supplied and arranged for the walls and the furniture, including beautiful vases and flowers. Careful attention was paid to every detail. The services were provided very quickly, and were of high quality. I am very satisfied with the support that Sense of Style provided to stage my house.

Ani is an amazing designer with great ideas. She not only has great taste, but she also ensures that the things she picks are within your budget. As a person, Ani is always very kind and does not hesitate to offer her help. Ani was able to design a brand new house into my very own lovely, warm, dream house. Working with Ani was a great pleasure and I definitely highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make their house their dream home.

As President and CEO of Imports Canada, Home Deco product wholesaler across Canada. Sense of Style has worked with my company to manage the decoration of our trade fairs from January 2009 till 2011.

Sense of Style handled the decoration of our entire home which was amazing! Everything was professionally handled - unique styling and coordination of colours was above reproach. I loved everything as did all our friends and we were indeed fortunate to have had our decor put into the competent hands of Sense of Style. JANICE C.

I hired Ani to renovate/stage my own home and she delivered exemplary results. Ani worked with me patiently as I changed my mind about designs and products. She immediately applied her refreshing approach, innovative ideas and commitment to deliver results. I firmly believe that the quick, lucrative sale of my property (it sold in 3 days and for $60,000. over the asking price) was a direct result of Ani's contribution and dedication to the project. Ani is honest and forthright in all of her business dealings. I highly recommend her to anyone! Sincerely, E.
