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.

From the first meeting, the team took the time to understand not just how we use the space, but also what kind of atmosphere we wanted for family dinners and evenings with friends. They proposed solutions that were modern yet warm, clean lines natural materials and lighting choices that make the space feel inviting without being overdesigned. What I really appreciated was their attention to detail. Things like flow between the kitchen and dining area, sightlines to the garden and even how the furniture would interact with the architecture, all of it was considered. Communication was excellent throughout: clear updates, quick responses and they navigated the city requirements smoothly so I didn't have to. The result feels both stylish and deeply livable. Hosting dinners now feels effortless, the layout encourages conversation and the finishes add just the right amount of elegance. If you care about design that balances beauty with functionality, this team delivers. They're not just designing a house, they're designing a home.

One way we have been able to help our Sellers receive tens of thousands of dollars, even hundreds of thousands of dollars over asking price is the Staging that Sellers have placed in their homes. Over the years we have been exposed to and used many different Staging Companies. Courtney Kate and her partner Kelly of Courtney Kate Designs is by far the best in many ways! First, Courtney's creativity and sense of design is current, fun, colorful and always loved by the camera. Secondly, Courtney's customer service and response to Seller and Agent's needs is above par. She is so easy to work with, and we hear this from many of our Sellers and other Agents. Third, Courtney continually updates her inventory of furniture and accessories, which is always fresh and on the cutting edge. And...affordable too. When we look at comparable MLS listings by other agents, many of the homes that have SOLD over asking price were staged by Courtney Kate Design. Why, because we all appreciate having her on our marketing team. YOU WILL TOO!!

My job, when possible, is bringing the properties to show quality and to reap the best and highest value for the owners. Recently, I had a little condo that was in need of refurbishing on a budget! I had the unit painted, carpeted and performed inexpensive but cost effective improvements from afar, while the seller was too busy to be involved.... At the eleventh hour, I called on my go to gal, Courtney Kate for staging. She was swamped, out of inventory and out of time - she said she'd see what she could do for me. On memorial weekend, Courtney made time for me and performed nothing less than magic on this property. When I opened the door, I was AMAZED at the transformation, the words that came to mind were: Wow! I'm swept off my feet!!!! Courtney came thru in a big way, the seller could not believe it was her unit AND more importantly the staging alone brought the seller an unprecedented price!!! Thank you once again Court for all you do for me and my clients...
