Maria and her team were pure professionals all the way through the design process. They have countless ideas and they innovate when things seem impossible. I never heard the word no, if you want it they will make it happen and far exceed your expectations. I loved all their design ideas it was hard to just pick one. You will not be disappointed with their results. Thank you again for making my salon feel and look like something out of a magazine.

Maria designed the top two floors of our home and came up with unique ideas that we could never have come up with on our own. She brought a continuity that we have wanted for a long time and recommended quality finishes that we are absolutely thrilled with. Maria was always available to us for our many questions, visited frequently and had an excellent working relationship with our builder which made a huge difference to our project. She has incredible style both personally and professionally and we are so glad she was such an integral part of our renovation. Her knowledge of the industry, best practices and wide array of suppliers was excellent and we highly recommend Maria and her team to anyone considering a designer for any home renovation or build.

We originally engaged Maria Nordlund Design for a paint colour consult on our newly purchased home. 7 years later and our highly positive relationship continues with the completion of many projects. From furnishings to art decor, Maria and her team have helped create our dream home. Our largest project included a renovation of our kitchen and 6 bathrooms. Our smaller projects included the design of our outdoor kitchen, landscaping and theatre room. From start to finish, Maria and her team have brought so much to the table, including being solutions-oriented, having great style, good relationships and loyalty with trades, skilled logistics, communication, follow up and availability. We look forward to our continued relationship with Maria and her amazing team for all our future projects!

We’ve recently come to the end of an extensive home renovation project with a large addition, detached garage, complete interior and exterior remodelling as well as landscaping. The project took roughly one year to complete and with the help and guidance of Maria Nordlund and her team, we couldn’t be happier with the final result. Her attention to the finer details and inclusion of unique design elements helped to create a home that we are extremely proud of.

Given the scope of our project and countless decisions along the way, her experience and vision provided a tremendous amount of peace of mind and undoubtedly saved us from making unnecessary and costly mistakes.

We are truly grateful for her commitment and expertise to create our dream home and have no hesitation at all recommending Maria Nordlund Design!

Maria Nordlund Design is an exceptional team that have massively exceeded my expectations on a complicated project that has been in process for 2 years. Yes 2 years. The fact that I am closer to the team and happier with their work after 2 years really says it all.

We bought a lakefront 1960’s rancher on a spectacular lot which had many needs. Phase 1 was a quick light touch spruce up with complete furnishing of 4,000 square feet to get us moved in and figure out what to do. Maria and team worked miracles in 4 weeks.

Phase 2, after deciding to commit to unlock the potential of the property and understanding what that would entail, was to rebuild the attached 3 car garage, bathrooms, kitchen, mechanicals, windows, siding, roof, entrance and landscaping including extensive patios This involved many crucial decisions on retaining a retro vibe but a fresh look and feel. Maria Nordlund Design provided priceless ideas, outstanding trades, unique suppliers and firm project management capability on budget and timeline.

Phase 3 was a substantial addition which included 4 car garage, 2 bedroom suite with full kitchen and 3 terraces and solarium. The addition involved considerable look and feel challenges to balance building restrictions while complementing the existing house. Maria Nordlund Design provided progressive ideas which in the end created a stellar result.

What I value the most about Maria Nordlund Design is a point of view. They have stood up to me when I wanted to go a direction that they felt was wrong for the property. I have trusted their point of view over my own and with the benefit of hindsight they were correct. It is easy to find a design firm that will do what I want but there will be no creative tension. There will be no diversity of thought. For this I am most grateful to Maria and team.

Maria and team - this is a key point. While Maria retains overall responsibility, her team is extremely capable. I deal with junior designers, finance, on-site supervision, procurement and installation. Maria Nordlund Design has the feeling of a boutique but the delivery capability of a larger firm. This worked out great for me.

Finally, I greatly value a harmonious team in the overall project. Maria Nordlund Design has earned a positive reputation with my other key players such as general contractor, environmental consultants, landscaping contractors, dock contractors etc. I do not want a construction site with tensions, turf battles or finger pointing. After 2 years all of the key players remain and are working together harmoniously. Maria Nordlund Design are demanding without doubt but in a professional and courteous way.
