Intentional Designs for Living Beautifully

Karen was exceptional to work with and extremely knowledgeable. She worked really hard with our tight timeline and always delivered when she said she would. We were in a crunch and she helped us bring life back into our home. Karen is very professional, but also made us feel like we had known her forever. She has beautiful ideas and works hard to understand what you are looking for. I would highly recommend working with Karen - you will not be disappointed!

Karen helped me with furniture selections, paint colours, finishes, and layouts for the renovations I am doing. She has made an overwhelming process filled with countless decisions fun and easy. She was able to discern my preferred style and taste very quickly, and always seems to make recommendations that I absolutely love. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Karen to anyone looking for someone to take care of all the layout designs, furnishings, and finishes. She has truly become my go-to for all home-décor related projects.

Karen is simply the best – I have worked with many designers in my time and having worked with Karen for a decade now, she stands out as heads and shoulders above them all for her end-to-end, flexible approach! From the initial consultation presented back in a comprehensive way, to her creativity and thoughtful reasoning for each choice and recommendation, to the managing of budget and costs, and helping with installation in any big or small way – Karen is a full service decorating and design consultant!

Karen created the perfect look for our new town home. She truly is the consummate professional who listened carefully to our needs and wants to help us determine what to keep and what to replace from our previous home of 35 years. She was easy and fun to work with and sourced materials to provide us with choices that met our style and budget requirements. From room design, to colour schemes, to furniture and fabric selection Karen's superb guidance has give us a home that we love! We highly recommend The Design Project

We've used Karen at the Design Project on 2 homes now! Each time we've been thrilled with the overall experience. Karen brings lots of options to the table to suit multiple styles and tastes. Across our 2 homes, Karen has done 8+ rooms and nailed every single one. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again or recommend to friends/family!

Karen’s team produced an amazing design package that made it very easy for my team to accurately provide budgets and a detailed proposal for a residential renovation for her client. The package had a well laid out scope, identified selections and a very detailed 3D rendering with elevations for mill work. She made it very easy for us to do our job!! We were awarded the project and look forward to working with The Design Project team to bring there amazing designs to reality!!

Karen and her team have been invaluable with their advice. They made great suggestions that we would never came up with on our own. Time and time again, they have provided guidance with ease. They partner with local vendors that provide quality products and services and helps support our local economy. We would recommend Karen to anyone in a heart beat!

Thank you to Karen Dunn and her team for working with me to purge out the old and bring a more cohesive look to my home. Her expertise and patient nature helped us to finally start the process. Each room was reviewed including which pieces to keep and which to purge, was immensely helpful. I look forward to bringing Karen in for the next stage and highly recommend her services.

It has been a great pleasure to work with Karen and Emily Dunn at the Design Project. They are able to navigate through all the ideas that their clients have and are able to zero in on the design that you were looking for and also expand on those ideas in ways you had no idea were possible. Highly recommend.
