I Dare-ya Designs

Over 2 years ago, my elderly parents and I experienced a devastating fire to our family home which eventually required a full rebuild/renovation of our house. I spoke with my contractor about hiring an interior designer as I found the rebuilding process overwhelming and needed professional guidance with the selection of interiors for our house. The project manager had one person in mind for me and highly recommended Daria of " I Dare -Ya Designs". Once Daria and I had our first introductory meeting, I made the decision to hire her for our extensive project. What a relief that was hiring Daria! I was finally able to get a decent night of sleep after stressing endlessly over the renovation project. Daria was wonderful to work with and is very professional, down to earth, kind and has great sense of humour. She has calm and patient approach in dealing with all the unexpected challenges that came up during the renovation. She is a great communicator and listened closely and carefully to our requested needs and desires as it pertained to the rebuild of our home. Daria kept us on track and on budget - helping me choose counter tops, sinks, facets, back splashes, tiles, flooring, lighting, cabinetry , surfaces, fixtures , colour schemes ,carpet, window coverings - essentially everything! In addition , Daria redesigned a walk-in-closet for my parents which they absolutely love and appreciate the organization and functionality of the new space. We are so happy to be back in our home again after being dislocated for a very long two years. Our home is beautiful , bright and re-energized . We have received numerous compliments from friends , family, and neighbours about how much they love the new look, designs and interiors. Daria was an integral member of our team and provided much needed support , knowledge and advice throughout the entire process. We cannot thank her enough for her service, expertise , and talent during this profound transition for our family. I really miss Daria, but I am grateful we remain friends. Hopefully , we will get to work together again some day! Thank you Daria for everything :)

I was struggling with how to display my artwork. Daria brought fresh ideas to make the accent wall stand out, arranging framed works in various configurations. She looked at the whole space to see what would work best in my open concept home. Her focus and eye for proportion helped me see new possibilities. Highly recommended!
