Design Happens

Irene has an amazing eye for colour and is an extremely talented designer. My parents hired her to work on their townhome and were very happy with the results. I thought i couldn't afford Irene, so started to use my parent's colours in my home - $80 in paint later I called Irene.She immediately zeroed in on the problems with my home and took the time to find just the right colours for me. I had her give me colours for all my rooms, even though I was only painting the main floor, but I was so happy with the way the colour transformed the space that I kept going and painted the entire house. Irene went way beyond paint colours, recommending design options for now and in the future, and gave me many cost saving tips so that I could accomplish the changes on my very limited budget. I have been in my home for 10 years, and it now feels like an entirely different house. It looks elegent, modern, and tranquil. I love it! I have a design direction for my home to help me with shopping for accessories, and know just what to look for in flooring, carpet, etc. Irene has many contacts in the interior deisgn business and gave me names of trusted contractors and places to get the best prices on flooring and accessories. Irene is wonderful to work with and a truely talented disigner. I highly recommend her.

Irene, (I call her our Colour Godess) was absolutely amazing!! We moved into a brand new home in Coquitlam with no paint on any wall and she nailed our tastes as well as talked us out of spending thousands more having the entire house done and just concentrate on certain accent walls and carrying the colour through. We are so thrilled with the outcome of the bedrooms, bathrooms and the main Colour carried throughout our home. She is patient and really listens to what your tastes are and takes her time with you. So nice and just could not be happier with the Colour choices in our home. Amazingly talented and sure has the designer eye for what looks good. Would recommend her to anyone and it was the best money we spent as it saved us from making mistakes with choosing and matching ourselves.

Irene Fraser lays the foundation for a beautiful home. Through her experience and service, she added polish, class, and value to our home. She listened to our ideas, created an amazing palette of colours, and generally guided us on selecting complementary finishes like counters, flooring, and backsplash. Additionally, Irene allowed us to use her contractor discounts, which were very useful for helping us achieve amazing results while staying on budget. Hiring Design Happens easily paid for itself.

I have had the pleasure of working with Irene Fraser from Design Happens on several occasions and would highly recommend her to anyone considering any type of home design or renovation. I needed help in choosing colours for my townhouse and had no idea where to start, Irene helped me choose colours and window coverings that fit my style and transformed plain rooms into designer styled. I always received compliments on the colours that I chose and when it came time to sell my house it was a big factor in receiving offers over my asking price. Irene was one of the first people I called when I bought my new place and I have been so impressed with her professionalism and great knowledge of design as well as her great team of professionals. I cannot recommend Irene enough, she is fantastic to work with and achieves amazing results!
