our design style is your style.

Many interior decorators and designers work only within their own style.  It’s apparent in their work and on their website.  However, you won’t find that here because we believe that your home should be a reflection of who you are.

In a word, our style is comfortable.  That’s where our name comfortable dwelling comes from.  It’s high quality comfort without feeling pretentious.  Your friends will know your space is well put together and impressive, but the finished room never feels stuffy or like you can’t actually use it.

We don’t want you to have to think about redecorating every 5-7 years when your grey modern farmhouse, “warm modern” or “modern midcentury” design becomes dated. We seek to create something that showcases your personality. That tells the world who you are. And that suits the style and period of your home.  That’s a recipe for timeless design.

Now let’s be clear around what we do. People think that a designer’s sole job is to make things pretty. That’s only 20% of what we do at Comfortable Dwelling.

 Of course we create beautiful spaces.  But we don’t consider ourselves decorators or designers. Instead, we act as interior 

consultants for our clients in that 80% of our job is in consideration of your experience, your investment, and how you’ll live in the space.

There are hundreds (sometimes thousands) of decisions that a homeowner makes when renovating or building a home.  Our clients choose us because our processes give them confidence that every one of these decisions are handled down to the very last detail.

You can log into our project management system at any time and know exactly what’s been done on your project and what’s outstanding.  Even if you’re up thinking about it at 2am because that’s the only time you have.  Our process is very transparent so that you can rest assured that we are handling every detail from reviewing the initial plans and doing renderings to fluffing the very last toss pillow.

We understand that not everyone is going to need full design to completion which is why we’ve designed our flat-fee design services to help whether you just need some quick design advice or you’re doing a full-scale new build or renovation.

No matter what level of design service you need — either locally in Chatham-Kent Windsor-Essex or from a distance across Canada — it all begins with our Discovery Process…
