I'll be honest-we were pretty overwhelmed at the thought of doing a full makeover for our home. We…read moreknew we wanted a total makeover for our place, but trying to find a team that actually handles the 'boots on the ground' construction side and the high-end design is way harder than it looks. After talking to a few different firms, Kanika Design just felt like the right fit. Kanika really listened to what we wanted. I've always been a bit nervous about using bold colors, but she pushed us (in a good way!) for a deeper color palette in the main living areas. It looks incredible. Kanika found us so many unique, high-quality furniture pieces that you just won't find at a big-box store. The biggest thing for us was logistics. Once the design process completed, their team handled everything - architectural, permit headache, and construction. Anyone who has done a remodel knows things never go 100% perfectly, but whenever an issue popped up, they were on top of it immediately. They kept the contractors moving and kept us updated on the budget and what was happening next. It's a relief to finally be done after 2 years and have a home that feels like us but way better. I can't recommend Kanika and her team enough. We're still obsessed with how everything turned out.

Maureen is absolutely exceptional -- we could not have found a better designer for our renovation…read more We worked with her on two bathrooms (guest and primary) as well as our primary bedroom, with all construction happening while we were away traveling, and the experience could not have been smoother. We loved partnering with Maureen on the design. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, helping us bring our vision to life while elevating it in ways we couldn't have done on our own. For every decision, whether it was shower tiles or cabinetry wood, she presented us with a thoughtfully curated set of options, saving us from hours of researching online and in-store. She also provided invaluable guidance on where to invest and where to be more cost-efficient, all without ever compromising on quality. I also cannot emphasize enough how incredible Maureen's eye for design is along with her ability to tailor her recommendations and the design to your personal style and goals. During the renovation, we were traveling internationally and so Maureen managed the overall project, sharing regular updates and photos. We're incredibly grateful we trusted Maureen with our home and are thrilled (though not surprised) that the end result was perfect and exceeded all expectations. We recommend her without hesitation and would absolutely work with her again.

I had a very positive experience working with Kerstin our full house rebuild/remodel. Our project…read morewas extensive and including a completely new kitchen, turning our old kitchen into a multi-purpose laundry/mud/craft room, and three bathrooms. All required detailed planning on layout and materials. Kerstin created detailed schematics for the cabinetry and tile layouts for each of those spaces. She was able to assess my style and work with me in defining a direction on the rooms where I had very little idea of what I wanted. For rooms that I already had a picture in mind, she was very good at taking my ideas and helping me refine them, as well as correct some mistakes that I may have made on my own (you don't what you don't know). She also advised on other finishings throughout the house and helped me with color selection. The colors turned out beautiful and I wouldn't have been able to get just the right shades in some of the rooms on my own. My favorite rooms that we worked together on are my new kitchen and our master bath. Kerstin was instrumental in creating rooms that reflect my style, yet incorporate ideas that I would not have been able to generate on my own. I now have my dream kitchen and our master feels like our own private spa! All in all, I'm very happy with the results that Kerstin has delivered, and I would hire her again.

She also gave us on-the-spot lessons in design theory, which I genuinely appreciated and can now apply moving forward. As we cleared out what had to be 20+ bags of clutter, she offered to take care of both trash and donations, and had a hauling service at our house within the hour.
