Our Process

With you every step of the way

Gillian Gillies Interiors understands that their clients are looking for a significant change or upgrade in their lives when they hire them. Change could look like creating a home that enables all family members to get out the door in the morning easier, or it could be to finally have a cozy, private corner to read and dream out the window. It’s always more than simply having a gorgeous kitchen - it’s about living with ease, living with less friction, and being in harmony with your surroundings. Whatever it is you desire, they have the answers, and they deliver incredible results for their clients.

Their time-tested 7-Step Process starts at the initial client meeting and runs the duration of your project - all the way through to the installation of accessories. Although each project the team works on is unique, being intentional with the journey ensures all parties are focused on the same end goal.

Our Philosophy

Our role in your interior design project is to introduce you to design ideas and concepts that are very much you, even if you didn’t know they existed or were you before we presented them.

Sometimes unexpected, yet always thoughtful, considered design selections are carefully made for our clients. We cater to each client’s style and lifestyle on an individual basis. At the heart of each selection, each decision, is the desire to improve our client’s health and well-being by providing them with a beautiful home to enjoy for many years to come.

Our Projects

From the renovation of older homes in established neighbourhoods to infill and new construction, we have successfully worked in all home types from single dwellings to condos and townhomes. Most of our work is in Ontario, but we also welcome the opportunity to work across Canada and into other countries.

Each project we work on brings its own distinctive needs and goals. We are known for taking the underused and neglected areas in an older home and turning them into a space that is not only functional but personalized to the homeowners.
