For clients looking to renovate and update their home
Our home renovation process brings clients’ design dreams from concept to completion with ease. Whether you are increasing the square footage of your home with a multi-story addition or simply gutting and redoing the space within the walls you have – we’ve got you covered.
We join the process early – collaborating with the architect and/or engineer to create a perfect layout and floor plan that optimizes space and function, maximizes beauty, and prioritizes natural light. We create a detailed design plan including 3D models and elevations to let clients visualize different design and layout options before making important decisions. We also curate hundreds of fixtures, materials, and colour options to create a cohesive set of finishes that make every home feel truly unique and special. Once the design direction is established, we collaborate closely with all contractors, vendors and trades to ensure that everything is executed according to the vision. From grout colours to countertop edging, to cabinet drawer sizing, to reviewing custom wood stains to ensure they are the perfect colour, to the placement of every tile – we turn design dreams into real life homes.
Our goal is to make things easy for our clients – renovating can be stress-free when someone else is taking on all the stress and managing the day-to-day on your behalf. Throughout construction, we manage all the details, answer all the contractor questions, and problem-solve all the daily challenges in real time that inevitably arise so you don’t have to. Our goal is to make the renovation experience seamless and enjoyable for our clients – we come to you with physical samples of our recommended finishes so you can see how everything works together and we serve as the day-to-day liaison between client and all of the trades to ensure everyone on the project understands the vision.
For professional builders looking for assistance in making key design decisions
Builders have unique goals: to create beautifully designed, expertly built homes that resonate with and impress prospective buyers – all at a cost that leaves room for profits.
DesignChicks regularly partners with professional home builders to bring design intention, character, cohesiveness, flow and function into new construction projects. This sets our new builds apart from other homes on the market.
Our goal is simple: to make every new development feel expertly designed and really special – crafted with the same level of attention to detail as a client-customized home. We know from years of experience that you don’t need to overspend to get beautiful finishes that are built to last. With carefully curated finishes and fixtures, layered lighting, an expertly crafted colour and materials palette, and a deep understanding of how families live day-to-day in their homes, we create homes that aren’t just beautiful to look at but truly livable.
Whether you are building a single home to sell or a multi-unit development, we bring design depth, functional insight, and aesthetic consistency that turn good builds into great homes – ones that truly stand apart and connect with buyers.
As a custom home builder, working with Design Chicks has always been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Jaya and Nancy demonstrated a deep understanding of design principles, functionality, and client vision, delivering results that will exceed all expectations. Communication is clear and professional throughout the entire process, and every detail is handled with precision and care. I highly recommend the Design Chicks to anyone seeking high-quality, thoughtful interior/exterior design services.
For clients looking to build their dream home from scratch
When it comes to building custom homes, every detail of the floor plan and layout should be unique and personalized. Designed from scratch, expertly tailored to your specific aesthetic, and fully customized to meet the unique needs and dreams of your family.
DesignChicks custom homes feel totally bespoke and high end – that said, we also don’t believe that you need to overspend to get the look and function you desire. When building custom homes for clients and their families we take the time to truly understand each family’s needs, personal style, and day to day life. Built through years of experience working with families on functional storage optimization, flow, kitchen and bathroom layouts and designing dual-purpose spaces for modern life, we’ve become experts in all the areas that make a home not just impressive to look at but truly enjoyable and easy to live in. While we love beautiful homes (really love them) we also believe in doing things once and doing things right – timeless, comfortable, functional design that will grow with the owner and their family for years into the future.
We join the build process early, collaborating with the architect and build team on floor plan refinement, whole house custom millwork design, windows, exterior materials and exterior colours, and the selection of all interior finishes and interior design details. We provide elevations, 3D models, and virtual “walk throughs” so the client and everyone else involved in the project can visualize the finished space before making critical lasting decisions. Our detailed design plans help ensure that every tradesperson involved in the project has what they need to execute on the vision so there are no mistakes or miscommunications. From cabinet hardware selection to trim and moulding to tile layouts and grout colours and everything in between – our involvement eliminates guesswork and ensures a smooth and efficient build process.
For clients looking to make their existing space more beautiful and functional without major construction
One of our specialities – and one of our favourite things to execute on – is custom millwork. We love millwork because of its ability to completely transform with minimal or no construction. Every space we design with custom millwork starts with how it will be used day to day – how drawers open, how deep every drawer is, what’s being stored inside of every cabinet or cupboard, how cabinetry lines flow, how light hits the grain and all the other finer details that make cabinetry make sense for its owners.
Our approach goes beyond surface beauty (although, let’s be serious, we really care about that too). We think about the morning coffee routine, the front door drop-zone chaos, the hidden charging stations, and the quiet satisfaction of a perfectly aligned drawer front. Whether it’s a built-in that anchors a living room, a kitchen that balances display and storage, or a vanity that conceals clever compartments, our goal is always the same: to design pieces that feel effortless to use and timeless to look at.
We collaborate closely with builders and trades to ensure every millwork detail is engineered, practical, and built to last – because true luxury is when design performs beautifully in real life.
