Nanique Interiors Inc.

I sincerely enjoyed working with Nanette. From the very beginning our communication and relationship have been excellent, and she made me feel very comfortable. She's very passionate about her work, and like me, a perfectionist as well. Those are two qualities I always look for in a contractor, and definitely two qualities that she possesses.

I had just purchased a condominium unit and wanted to have it renovated. More than the renovation itself I was interested in how the process works with in an interior designer. I guess I kinda just wanted the experience in working with one (despite how busy my work schedule is otherwise).

Nanette doesn't know this but I actually consulted with an interior decorator and an interior designer prior to establishing a relationship with her. Both individuals were awesome and knew their stuff, but I still felt like it was necessary that I go with one of the top professionals in the city. When I stumbled upon her profile, and read her highly acclaimed user reviews (and the fact that she's won HomeStars the past couple of years) - and then called her up and met with her the first time, I knew she was the right person for me. I knew from her positive demeanor the process would be streamlined and easy-going. And, it was.

Thank you, Nanette. I look forward to working with you on any future projects. It's been a privilege :)

Nanette helped us choose paint colours and select furniture for our new home. She was pleasant, responsive and practical -- helped us be realistic about what we'd need with three young kids. Great sense of colour and taught us some helpful design tips! She was always on time and in touch and followed up with all she said she would. She was also patient with our dawdling and indeciveness. With the exception of more stray threads than we'd like and one detached button (!), we've been happy with the furniture we chose from her suppliers. Prices for the services were higher than we've seen elsewhere, but Nanette was reasonable about helping us make a plan that would be less costly. Felt we were in good hands and would (plan to!) work with Nanette again when we have a budget to do so.

Nanette helped me with the interior design of my apartment and especially living room layout and what type of sofa would work. She is very professional and provides excellent advice. I would recommend her to anyone.

I am so glad to meet Nanique today and she is really helpful for me.She explains design rules and help me to choose colours, furniture, pictures, carpet, curtains, lighting,,,, and how to hang up,,,not only She let me know some design rules, but also she make me feel confident to decorate my house. If my friends need help, I will suggest them to see Nanique as she is an excellent interiors.

This project is the first one where we decided to engage an interior designer. I am very pleased that we did and happy that it was Nanette. Nanette helped us to select vanities, lights, tiles and wall colors.
Her insight was invaluable. The tile accents and combination of colors that she suggested was something that I would never been able to come up on my own.
On a personal level, Nanette is very pleasant to work with. She is patient and good listener. I felt that she genuinely cares that we will be satisfied with our choices. She kept repeating "I love it! That's what I want to hear from you."
Nanette also explained the guiding principles behind her choices, so I am sure with this knowledge I will be able to make better interior design choice in the future.
Last but not least, Nanette knows where to buy stuff. She recommended stores with excellent selection, very good prices and great customer service.

Nanette is very talented, and offered me excellent advise as to how to proceed in my 'work in progress'! She has been in the industry a long time and is able to match experienced people to any job that you may want to complete. She is a pleasure to work with.

Nanette helped my husband and I in furnishing our condo when we moved in this spring. Her advice regarding furniture, paint colours, and lighting was invaluable. Her knowledge and insight as well as her passion was very inspiring and reassuring. Nanette is always quick to respond to any emails and questions that we had throughout the process. The best part was that she was able to guide us and keep us within our budget. We have received so many compliments about our condo! We are now working with Nanette on decorating the nursery.

We had a unique problem in athat after living overseas in Abu Dhabi for over 17 years, we decided to return to Toronto and renovate our townhouse prior to our arrival. Having lived overseas for a protracted period, we had no idea of the options open to us, products and quality available or the look and feel of materials - most of which can only truly be appreciated in person. Nanette and her contractor, Peter Lum of Balmoral Contractors, set about the coordination and project development with enthusiasm, verve and professionalism and when we inspected the finished product, they had got it just right. The minor snags were quickly and efficiently corrected. My profession is a Program Leader of Mega Projects and I can assure you it takes a very special skill to coordinate activites remotely, understand client's needs and in this case, tastes as well. With assistance of Skype and the like, we managed to review options, negotiate prices and the net result was a top notch product. Nanette has a unique talent and taste sense in that she can knit together the various individual components of a project into a lovely final tapestry. By way of a further endorsement several of my engineer and architect friends, who have all recently completed their own renovations with varying degrees of hands-on involvement, all commented that this was one of the best products they had seen.
Well done Nanette and Peter - and thanks. Brian and Lerie Evans

I contacted Nanette due to the great reviews she received on Homestars - so far with this site, I have used many contractors - painting, carpet cleaning, moving - and have very positive experiences. Unfortunately with Nanique, it was not so positive. Maybe I was expecting something different, but after spending an hour and a half at my house, and paying her $180 for her time, all I ended up with was a price quote for over $5,000 to decorate my living room - let me clarify this, over $5,000 for her to just pick our colours and help me find furniture - I still had to buy the furniture and pay for the painting, the light installations, etc. My living room is 14' x 16'. I had expected something different - at least a schematic with suggestions and paint colours. I was very surprised to get such a price quote. Maybe I am cheap?

Nanette is worth every penny.

I hired Nanette to decorate my living room in my house in Whitby and my condo in Toronto.
She has great ideas. I had hardwood installed diagonally in the living room and it looked amazing!. It did cost more money but was worth every penny.
She has excellent contacts in the design world and all the trades she recommended were outstanding. Ron installed a gorgeous new front door, Peter is a detail oriented contractor and her painter Paul is reasonable and did a great job. Her eye for color is second to none.
You will save money by hiring Nanette and you will avoid costly mistakes and stress!
