What makes a home truly remarkable? It’s the thoughtful details that transform how you live in your space.
Here are five ways you can elevate your Edmonton home with custom design. Whether you’re tackling a full-scale renovation or simply updating one area of your home, these ideas can help create spaces that are both remarkable and functional.
Maximize Flow with a Reimagined Layout
Reconfigure key spaces, like a kitchen, living room, or even the basement, to make your home feel larger and more efficiently-designed. Removing barriers, like outdated pantries or awkward bulkheads, creates a seamless flow that connects spaces and better fits your lifestyle.
Harness the Power of Natural Light
Expand windows or upgrade to larger openings to transform a dark, dated room into a bright and airy retreat. Not only does natural light elevate your space, but it also highlights your design choices and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Natural light is important in Edmonton homes especially, where our winter days are short, so maximizing natural light can make your home feel more uplifting year-round.

Prioritize Tailored Storage Solutions
Design custom storage to meet your exact needs. Whether it’s floating shelves in the kitchen or a walk-in closet designed to replace outdated built-ins, clever storage solutions can balance style and practicality while maximizing every square inch.
For example, when designing your kitchen, you will decide what you’ll need easy access to, and we will help you determine where the best place to store them might be. For easily accessible items, an open shelf may be the best option!
It all depends on your priorities – that’s why we focus on a collaborative approach that results in remarkable, custom-designed spaces inspired by each client’s unique style and our team’s expert craftsmanship.
Elevate Your Space with Thoughtful Lighting
Layer lighting with precision – task lights for workspaces, accent lighting to showcase design elements, and ambient lighting for warmth. Features like dropped ceilings with integrated pot lights or under-cabinet lighting can refine the look and feel of your home.
In this Edmonton penthouse condo renovation, we added a new dropped ceiling to incorporate LED pot & pendant lights, providing ambient and task lighting.
Showcase Design with Bold Finishes
Select standout finishes to add personality and luxury to your space. Think mitered-edge tile backsplashes, floating shower benches with concealed plumbing, or two-tone cabinetry. These details go beyond aesthetics to create a space that feels uniquely yours.
