Design Finalization:  We refine the plan and select materials, furnishings, and finishes.

Implementation:  We oversee installation, ensuring every detail meets your expectations.

Using an interior designer can save you money in the long run. Designers help avoid costly mistakes, maximize your budget, and access trade discounts on furniture and materials. While there’s an upfront cost for our services, our expertise often leads to smarter spending and a more polished, cohesive result.

Budgeting for an interior designer depends on the scope of your project and your location. In Canada, designers often charge an hourly rate ranging from $100 upwards or work on a flat fee based on the project’s size and complexity. Typically, you can expect to allocate 10-20% of your total renovation or furnishing budget to design services. We'll discuss your goals and budget upfront to ensure you have a clear understanding of costs for your project, and what services are included.

The key difference lies in our scope of work. Interior designers focus on both the aesthetics and functionality of a space, often involving structural changes, space planning, and working closely with contractors. We require formal training and knowledge of building codes. Interior decorators, on the other hand, primarily enhance the look of a space by selecting furniture, colors, and decor, without addressing structural changes. 

Both can elevate your space, but designers handle more technical aspects of the project.  At Patrick Joyce Design Studio, we offer services in both full scale interior design, or can also offer interior decorating services for your home.

Our design philosophy is centered around creating spaces that reflect your personality and lifestyle. While we’re experienced in a variety of styles—modern, traditional, minimalist, eclectic—we believe in tailoring every design to fit your unique vision and needs.

For every client we start our process with a deeper dive into understanding your personal design style, so that more effective selections are made right from the start.

Yes.  Whether it's building materials or furniture + decor, we will pass on any trade discounts.  This helps provide full transparency to our valued clients, and helps to offset some of the cost of our services.  These discounts vary greatly depending on the supplier, in the range of 5-40% on average.

We believe beautiful spaces can be created at any budget. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your financial goals and priorities to develop a realistic plan. We provide transparent cost breakdowns and suggest solutions to maximize your budget without compromising on quality.

Choosing an independent interior designer gives you a more personalized and creative approach to your project. Unlike design-build contractors, who often work with specific vendors or materials, independent designers focus entirely on bringing your unique vision to life. 

We will offer more flexibility in choosing the best products and materials to fit your style and budget. Plus, we’ll act as your advocate every step of the way, making sure every detail is just right while working collaboratively with your builder to bring it all together.

After a consultation to discuss the details for your project, we will create a fee proposal for our services based on our current hourly rates.  It's important that we learn as much about your project as possible in order to give you the most accurate fee proposal as possible, and go through the details of how we work.  Contact Us
