Furniture and Decorating – KH in North York, Ontario

We enlisted the help of Refined by Design after interviewing several Interior Designers. Heather worked closely with us to understand our tastes, and present several options of how our space could look, while incorporating some existing furniture. Heather was professional, timely, and on top of everything. For us, she took away the worry and stress out of having to furnish and decorate our home. While we went over budget a bit, we’re pleased with the end results and happy we did. We’re now looking at renovating our second floor and Heather has been and will be a part of this process for us.
