Townhouse Redesign

Terrible experience. I would not recommend this company to ANYONE. We received horrible service from start to finish, and Pure completely wrote us off. Attached is pic of our communication with Pure. See our full review on google.

Home Decor

Ami McKay and her team did an amazing job helping me decorate my new condo. From the first home visit I knew I'd chosen the right team to work with. Ami is so warm and friendly, as is virtually every member of her team. They listened to my needs and offered fantastic suggestions and options. Designer Jen Eves was so fun and easy to work with. I had a limited budget, and Ami and Jen managed to pull off even more than I had anticipated, all within my budget. I couldn't be happier with my place - I literally never want to leave home anymore!!

Small Renovation: kitchen / bathroom / powder room

Our experience with Pure Design Inc. was mostly unpleasant - we are not recommending this company.
We did a small renovation with them that took about 6 months to complete.
Based on their management fee we expected a much smoother process and a timely completion. We feel that neither was achieved.

Company Response

Hello Dennis and Natalie,
We worked hard together as a team to make you happy, and deliver all of the items on your wish list in a well-designed space. We are sorry you feel this way.
With older houses like your 120 year old home, as we had explained in our original kick off meeting, there are always unexpected issues that may arise. From our first meeting, you stressed that budget, not timeline, was most important to you and saving money was key as you both had saved a finite amount of funds for your renovation and were unable go above that amount. We took that to heart. Usually, when we run into unexpected issues in old houses it shows up as an added cost, however, we looked at more creative solutions to save you money, each time always with your agreement on the next steps. Unfortunately, this time of discovery, problem solving and moving forward with a revised plan did add on to the timeline.
In the end, you have a spectacularly beautiful renovation and we were able to come in 12% under budget. We are very proud of that. We love how your home turned out and that we were able to deliver to you a beautifully designed renovation with all of the items on your wish list. We know you will enjoy your space for years to come.

Chen Residence Living Space Revamping @ Oakridge area, Vancouver, BC

Ami is interior designer and decorator for the renovation project of our 2,100 living space. She took a lot of time to discuss with us about what we want and what she could do to make it happen. She was also extremely accommodating to our ideas and changes. Unlike many other designer, instead of giving us a cookie cutter design, she studied the existing layout and material of this 60-year old house and embrace exiting building instead of gutting everything out and re-doing the entire space. We love the space (including the new furniture) that she did. It even got featured on BC Living magazine.

Ami of Pure Design and her team are professional and personable at the same time so the client can work with them to achieve the best balance result between design and budget.

Renovation of 100 year old character home

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

From concept to design to project management, the Pure Team created something that was unique to our style and 100 year old character home. We are very pleased with the amazing transformation which includes a dream kitchen, spa master bathroom and many unique spaces in the house that our family will enjoy for many years to come. The renovation also included 2 separate one bedroom suites now with modern appliances and fixtures, and easily rented as a result. Throughout the project, Pure Design was professional, attentive to our needs, flexible and easy to work with and full of great ideas. We are very happy with the design of our place.

Exterior colour scheme

We undertook an extensive renovation of a 100 year old home, which included replacement of the exterior cedar shingles. We consulted with Ami on paint colours what would maintain the classical appearance of the home, while reflecting the contemporary updates undertaken.

Ami was very prompt and responsive in our communications, her colour recommendations were very appropriate, aesthetically pleasing and creative. We went through a couple of different test patches and Ami's advice was always decisive and clearly articulated. We are delighted with the colours selected, and we receive numerous comments and compliments from neighbours, and strangers, about the colours.

We look forward to our next opportunity to work with Ami.

Kitchen, family room, main bathroom and ensuite bathroom

Ami has some wonderful design ideas and is able to guide homeowners through the nerve-racking phases of design, material selection, colour palette and execution to achieve incredible transformations. Ami guides you through every step and without question provides more than just design services - Ami acts as a mediator [and relationship counsellor] to enable homeowners to reach mutually acceptable design solutions that satisfy design objectives.
AND, on top of everything, Ami is a wonderful person and it has been a pleasure to have worked with her.

Thank you Keith, it was a pleasure to work with both you and Brenda on your kitchen and bathrooms re-design and renovation! I was particularly impressed with Brenda's ability to create gourmet meals on your BBQ while your kitchen was out of commission. I will never forget that Crème brûlée was one of your favourites. It certainly helped make the renovation process less daunting when you both ate like royalty. Now you have a beautiful kitchen (with a cozy fireplace) to enjoy year round!

Interior design

After interviewing a number of different designers we chose Ami McKay's PURE Design company. She came out on top because of her professionalism, down-to-earth personality and competitive pricing.
Also since both my husband and I were very busy with work, it was very convenient she could communicate in person, email and text when necessary. She helped with so many decisions for the house and her skill and foresight are remarkable! The proof is in the final product.
Ami and her team helped us design our dream home!
