Klimek Interiors

I have been working with Lorraine of Klimek Interiors for over 20 years. Together we have collaborated on many projects. She possesses a keen eye for colour and the details required to make a space truly unique and special. She brings years of experience and expertise to each project. Lorraine is able to work within a budget to provide the client with and exceptional finished product. I would highly recommend Lorraine.

Lorraine has been an invaluable resource in a number of our projects. If you have ever tried to organize the myriad of details for a design & renovation project, you will be quite aware of the value of a professional offering site measures & drafting, detailed millwork drawings, finish material sourcing/ coordinating, quality vendor recommendations and preferred client service. On average, having design work by Klimek Interiors precede our job starts have saved $5400 of project cost to the client.

Finding Klimek Interiors on Houzz was winning the lottery. First and foremost Lorraine was a consummate professional who oversaw all aspects of the project. The tradespeople (electrician, painter, carpenter, cabinet installers) who entered my home were punctual, highly skilled, and polite. Lorraine was sensitive to my budget. creatively using Ikea cabinetry. Sofas, office chair, carpet, lighting, drapery, practical closet inserts and dining room chairs were all part of the furnishing of the condo. I am a minimalist at heart Lorraine's suggestions and sourcing of a few decorative pieces was a pleasant surprise. A year out and I am still thrilled with the results.

Klimek Interiors came highly recommended to me for which I am very thankful. When I first me Lorraine Klimek I immediately felt confident that she was the right person to trust with the upgrade of my penthouse apartment. I had already upgraded my kitchen and bathrooms a couple of years previously and I wish I had know Lorranie at that time. Now I needed new flooring throughout, paint, wallpaper, base trim, and various repairs. Lorraine paid special attention to details I would never have thought of. My door handles were high quality solid brass but were badly tarnished. Lorraine had them all re-finished and re-installed and they look wonderful. She also gave careful thought to the transitions between different flooring materials and it certainly paid off in a more refined and elegant look. Lorraine gave me valuable advise about furniture placement, pieces to discard, and pieces I should add. Most of all, Lorraine is easy to communicate with, has tremendous product knowledge and experience, and has a fine crew of tradespeople.

We hired Lorraine Klimek of Klimek Interiors to design, renovate and finish our basement. Lorraine is good to work with, very responsive, easy to communicate with and has access to excellent tradesman that do high quality work. After an initial discussion on concepts, a design was created to enable us to visualize what the end product would look like. Lorraine is very good with design and color and ask for our input to ensure it was in line with our tastes. As a result we were very happy with the colour schemes throughout the basement. Two significant rooms in the basement renovation were the steam room and bar room and these turned out exactly as we had imagined.

Lorraine Klimek has impeccable design instincts. Her professionalism, great insight and talent has helped us to succeed in each of our home renovation projects. In 2002 we renovated the lower portion of our 100 year old cottage in the northwest old growth forest of Vancouver. The first project was reclaiming a back deck and turning it into a bedroom en suite in keeping with the rest of the house and property. Lorraine and her team created a beautiful and appropriate addition to our home in keeping with the grace and simplicity that the cottage requires. Every touch, wall color and finish, flooring, wood casement windows; are perfectly harmonious with the rest of our home. We are dedicated to the esthetic of our cottage and she helped us to blend our furniture, art and treasures with the new. She directs and coordinates all aspects of the project with aplomb. I have asked Lorraine to work with us on our kitchen renovation which is scheduled for this summer, 2013. We have already finished the plans and drawings. Measurements and suggestions are all in order. She has so many people to call upon for built in specialty work, wall treatments, stonework and counters, fabric just to name a few. Her creativity and success with spectacular homes has put her in touch with the best craft and trade people in Vancouver. Lorraine takes the budget and quality into account at all times not matter what the scale of the project. She provides excellent value and phenomenal results! Can't wait to get the next project rolling with Klimek Interiors.

Klimek Interiors provided exceptional design and installation services for 2 homes I lived in within the past 7 years. They perfectly translated my particular tastes into clever and innovative design suggestions that reflected my desires perfectly. Their contacts within the industry for tradesmen, craftsmen, and suppliers is excellent and that resulted in high quality work and/or supplies. Lorraine is directly involved and takes much pride in selecting the perfect component when necessary. She was always available and very responsive to any issues that came up

Lorraine Klimek of Klimek Interiors did a great job of matching her professional design with the design of the rest of my apartment. She maximized the useful space in a small bathroom in addition to making it extremely stylish. The final product was beautiful and fully functional. Lorraine is extremely professional and she has a team of equally professional people that she works with. If I were to do any more renovations in the future she would be the first person that I would call.
