colour consultation

I was very fortunate to have met Irene while searching for a colour consultant to bring life into our new home. She not only demonstrated her knowledge of working with colour but went way beyond, making suggestions she believed would customize and enhance the overall appearance we were trying to achieve. Anything we were questioning she always had an answer for. She would even take it a step further by utilizing her many connections to make sure we were getting the very best for our new home. She never hesitated to refer us to someone she felt had more knowledge in a particular area and would do this while still finding ways to keep costs to a minimum. Irene is very hard working and exhibits her dedication to her profession. The time she spends working for you seems of little importance to her as she is only interested in finding what is right for you. She turned our house into a home and I couldn't be more thrilled with our end result. Thanks Irene, you are in a class of your own and I know you will continue to please.

Interior House Colours

We retained Irene services to assist with the selection of paint colours for the interior of our home. We found her to be extremely professional and very easy to work with. We love the paint colours (and paint products) she recommended. As an added (& very welcome) bonus, Irene been a resource for reputable suppliers of products like lighting and blinds. We would retain her services again & would highly recommend her to any of our friends.

Decorating Colours

Irene is very professional and down to earth. She has so much experience behind her and made choosing my colours for my townhouse very easy. Irene was so helpful and suggested really nice ideas for decorating which would incorporate the colours of my place. I would not hesitate to contact her again for services. Truly a really good experience with Design Happens.

Interior design

We needed help with color co-ordination when remodeling our downstairs living space. Irene did that and much more. Her recommendations have totally updated our thirty year old home. She is truly a professional and a pleasure to work with. Irene was also able to recommend tradespeople who did excellent work which helped the project go smoothly. She was able to save us money by directing us to business outlets and contacts that passed on savings to us. Her fee is more than fair. We cannot thank Irene enough as she has gone above and beyond. We will call Irene for future projects and highly recommend her work. We are delighted with our new home as it brings the warmth and comfort we were searching for.

Kitchen Idea

Having debated the possibilities with my husband for quite a while, we decided to give Irene of Design Happens a call. She has an ability to see what can be done and gave us an idea for our space that we couldn't have come up with for ourselves. We definitely appreciated Irene's down-to-earth attitude and approachable manner. When we are ready to sell our home, I'll be calling her to help us with that too.

Colour Consultation

We decided on a consultation with Irene from Design Happens based on various web reviews and the photos we saw on her website. We knew a little about what we like and don't like but were really wanting someone to come in and give us direction knowing that we are a family with young children so a very trendy look wasn't going to be something that worked for us. We knew we had made the right choice when the first question Irene asked us was "what do we like". She really listened to us and was happy to walk through each room in our house and give us suggestions and recommendations. We couldn't have been happier with the advice she gave us and the colour choices! We can't wait to get started and are happy to recommend Irene for anyone looking for a designer.

I've been working with Irene on client projects for the past 5 years and can say she is an absolute delight to work with. Her extensive knowledge in colour, finishes and style is second to none. I have worked with her on projects for clients of various demographics and she is able to uncover the needs and wants of all of them and produces a finished product to match their individual style. No matter what your style is or size of project Irene will always be by your side.

coordinate design apartment

i have used Irenes services twice. Both times i have been exceptionally satisfied. She blended old and new at my home, coordinating paint, flooring, and counter tops beautifully. She then coordinated a complete transformation of my apt. Her reasonable price, prompt service, and ease to work with make her services highly recommendable.
