DESIGN CONSULTATION
Looking for expert guidance?
Our Design Consultation offers professional advice without requiring a full-service commitment for clients planning to renovate or redesign their space and are unsure of how and where to start.
This service is ideal for homeowners who want to implement our practical ideas themselves and simply require a bit of guidance and inspiration.

Every design consultation is different, and you can use the 2 hours however you wish.
We can focus on one room, one floor, or every room in your home!
During our time together, we keep track of all the inspiration and ideas we discuss for your home, including links to specific products we select. Even if you’re a meticulous note-taker, this saves you a significant amount of time!

Masha helped me out to redesign the main area of our suite to convert it into an open-concept kitchen merged into a living room. I really liked her attention to detail and ability to consider all the aspects of the space to serve our needs in the most efficient way. Masha's design was a cornerstone of the whole kitchen renovation. As a result, we have a kitchen that looks much bigger than the original one and also much more functional both for us and for our small kids. As well Masha produced a design for our walk-in closet and helped to upgrade our big laundry room with neat and convenient storage.
All this massive set of designs was created very quickly and all our questions were answered in the process. We are planning to redesign some other areas of our suite and Maria will definitely be our go-to professional!- Alex K. -
I meet with Masha to solve few issues in my house. I was looking for a creative and not too expensive ideas. Masha blended comfort and style to create look that I wanted.
I was impressed with the amount of options that she gave me!
I would highly recommend Masha to anyone looking to hire a designer who really listens to her clients and delivers in every way.

I remotely worked with Masha on choosing the paint colours for our house - painting the siding and bricks. Although it was a minimal project for Masha, I greatly appreciate how attentive and creative she was! Considered our house interior style and ran several options to choose from. We are 100% satisfied and would absolutely recommend Masha to anyone!

Masha is a great interior designer. She helped us with the master bathroom design. I really liked that she tried to know us better before she started her work. She asked us about our hobbies and things that we like so she could incorporate them in the interior design. She carefully assessed our needs and created several idea boards based on our taste. She spent time answering all our questions and explaining details. Maria has a great personality and it was a pleasure to work with her. Also she suggested several out of the box solutions, which showed that she has an individual approach to all her clients. All her work was completed on time and with great attention to details. I highly recommend Masha.

Huge thanks for the project, the renovation support, and the tremendous help with every possible question. Incredibly, every single wish regarding functionality was taken into account, despite the modest square footage. We truly enjoyed working together, and the result brought us even more joy. This was our first renovation, and it turned out exactly as we wanted -bold, vibrant, and a true reflection of us. We hesitated for a long time about whether we really needed a designer, but our expectations were exceeded by 200 percent.
