Artful Design for Smaller Spaces

Lisa nailed it! I was looking for help with a new home office and Lisa was amazing! She was able to meet with me within a few days of our initial contact! Lisa really listened and asked good questions about my needs and style preferences. Within a weeks she was back with a floor plan and a list of furniture pieces and accessories. She captured my style perfectly, I was so impressed and happy with what she did! Lisa is lovely and easy to work with and I would definitely use her again. Jacqueline N. Victoria, BC

Lisa has the ability to see the potential in a small room, even one cluttered with oversized furniture and "stuff". Even though the room was an awkward shape with two parts of different sizes, Lisa was able to come up with an effective design to create two distinct spaces - one office and one TV relaxing area. She provided ideas for paint colours and fabrics and canvassed local suppliers to find suggestions for the various elements that would make the room feel spacious yet functional. I needed a custom built work area because of the limited size and shape of the office side and she got the quotes and then dealt directly with the contractor I selected to ensure that each step was completed satisfactorily. Each side also showcases some of my art and collectibles in ways I would never have considered if left to my own devices. Enroute to this "problem" area of my house, she noticed what was happening in other areas and offered several easy to implement suggestions that have led to an overall brighter and more spacious feel for the whole house. I didn't really understand "space" and certainly couldn't make it happen in my small house on my own. With Lisa's help, I am starting to "get it" and highly recommend Lisa's talents to help one achieve an artful design in a small space.

Lisa Grewar was able to translate her clients wishes into an actionable construction and design for small and seemingly awkward space to make a functional project. In our case, we were able to collaborate and produce an aesthetically pleasing and functional office space including some much needed local storage and a handsome matching barn door. Lisa was adept at ensuring the objectives were met and the design was practical yet functional. A great collaboration. Mike
