Very happy with Renee's work! First time using Design Dreams and wasn't sure how the process would work but Renee helped me declutter my office space and then some created a much better and warmer working environment! It feels so good to go and work in my office and very pleasant to look at now. Thanks Renee! More...

Renée’s design work is incredible! She has a natural ability to make a space feel like a home. I ordered a Welcome Basket for a new homeowner. Both myself and my client were blown away by the care and thoughtfulness that went into the basket! I would certainly recommend her services to other Realtors, or anyone looking for a great gift for a new homeowner 🥳 More...

5 stars! Renee at Design Dreams YYC was absolutely delightful to work with. She quickly picked up on my style and was pulling fabric samples, furniture, and rugs that felt like choices I would’ve made myself — it was such an effortless process. She’s also incredibly well-connected, including a fantastic upholsterer, and was generous in sharing resources and advice. Renee is efficient, professional, and so easy to work with. Highly recommend! More...

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Renée on multiple projects in the luxury vacation rental space, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Renée is by far the quickest and most efficient designer we’ve ever worked with. She consistently delivers high-quality, thoughtful designs that perfectly capture the essence of our brand. Her design sense is exceptional—she has an incredible eye for detail, and the spaces she creates are both beautiful and functional. Beyond her skills as a designer, Renée is an absolute pleasure to work with. Communication is always smooth, and she makes the entire design process seamless and stress-free. She’s highly reliable and incredibly trustworthy, which is so important when managing multiple projects. But what truly sets Renée apart is that she’s not just a designer; she’s become a true friend to us. Her warmth, professionalism, and dedication make her standout in the industry. We’ve always been confident that she has our best interests at heart, and her competence is unmatched. Without hesitation, we would recommend Renée to any homeowner looking to elevate their space. We look forward to continuing to work with her on many more projects in the future! Thank you, Renée, for all your amazing work! - Ben & the Stay Maple Team More...

Renee did an extraordinary job designing my detached house. Her efficient time management, innovative design approach, and comprehensive attention to detail allowed me to be worry-free throughout the process. Renee was meticulous with invoicing, adhered to my budget without compromising on quality, and expertly handled everything from identifying unnecessary items to sourcing decor pieces from various vendors. She took care of furniture assembly, garbage disposal, identifying missing supplies for Airbnb, collaborating with the cleaning team, staging, and arranging photographers. Renee truly is an all-in-one professional, and the entire experience was hassle-free. The best part was her consistent progress updates. More...

What’s your interior design process?
We guide you through a thoughtful, full-service design experience that’s tailored to your goals and space.
1. Free 15-Minute Design Clarity Call
We begin with a quick call to learn about your project, timeline, and style preferences. This helps us determine if we’re the right fit and outline what working together would look like.
2. Discovery Session & Site Visit
Next, you’ll fill out a brief questionnaire, and we’ll visit your space to take measurements, photos, and detailed notes. This step ensures we understand both your aesthetic vision and practical needs.
3. Personalized Design Plan
We head back to our studio and create a custom design board just for you. It includes thoughtfully sourced furnishings, décor, finishes, and direct product links for your review and approval.
4. Product Procurement & Trade Coordination
Once your design is approved, we manage the ordering process and coordinate any additional services—such as painting, wallpaper installation, or handyman tasks. We also handle timelines and trades so you don’t have to.
5. Full Installation & Styling
On install day, we transform your space. With the help of our trusted subcontractors, we take care of everything from furniture setup to wall styling and curated décor. We leave your space polished, intentional, and ready to enjoy.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
At Design Dreams, we tailor each project to your unique vision—whether you're looking for timeless elegance, modern function, or cozy charm. Our team is experienced in a range of design styles, including:
- Modern & Contemporary – Clean lines, minimalism, and functional elegance
- Scandinavian – Bright, airy spaces with warm neutrals and natural textures
- Transitional – A balanced blend of traditional and modern elements
- Boho & Eclectic – Layered textiles, bold personality, and global inspiration
- Coastal – Light, relaxed palettes with natural materials and breezy styling
- Mid-Century Modern – Sleek furniture, organic curves, and retro details
- Traditional – Classic, detailed styling with rich finishes and symmetry
- Farmhouse & Rustic – Cozy, lived-in charm with wood, whites, and warmth
- Minimalist – A focus on simplicity, intentionality, and negative space
- Luxury Vacation Rental Style – Function meets style for elevated guest experiences
We also offer customized styling that blends multiple influences to suit your space, whether it's a personal residence, an income-generating rental, or a staged property for sale.
What do you love most about your job?
Because I genuinely care about the outcome. Your space isn’t finished until you absolutely love it. I’m known for going above and beyond to make sure every detail feels just right. From the first consultation to the final styling touch, I’m hands-on, responsive, and committed to making the process enjoyable and stress-free.
Clients often say they feel heard, understood, and supported and that’s exactly what I aim for. Whether we’re designing a full vacation rental or refreshing a single room, you can trust that I’ll treat your space with the same care I would my own.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I uphold a specific standard with the way I run things and the way clients are treated. I was always taught, if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself - thus I started my own company.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have many testimonials saying I go above and beyond for my clients, it is not a completed project until it is perfect and you absolutely love your space(s).
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I offer virtual interior design services for clients who prefer to work remotely or are located outside of Calgary.
We begin with a video call to discuss your space, style preferences, and goals. From there, I create a personalized design plan that includes product recommendations, layout guidance, and direct shopping links. All items are sourced and shipped straight to your home.
While I won’t be there in person to rearrange furniture or style the space myself, I provide clear styling tips and layout suggestions so you can confidently complete the setup on your own.
Interior Staging
I specialize in providing hassle-free solutions to ensure your space is market-ready. By staging your space(s) with a combination of your existing furniture and decor as well as some new pieces, we can create a warm and inviting atmosphere that resonates with potential renters/buyers. I understand that each project is unique, which is why I will work closely with you to tailor a staging plan that fits your specific needs and budget.
Interior Decorating
Interior Design is not just a job for me, it's a passion that runs deep. Whether you're looking to revamp your office or embark on a full-scale redesign, I am committed to helping you achieve your vision. My design process begins by curating a custom colour palette that speaks to your style and preferences. From there, I carefully rearrange your furniture to create a harmonious balance while adding the perfect finishing touches through decorative elements.
Decluttering and Organizing
As a Home Organizer, I utilize my skills and expertise to simplify your life through a three-step plan. First, we work together to assess your belongings and determine what to keep and what to purge. After that, we'll take a quick shopping trip to procure any necessary items for your space. Finally, I'll use my organizational prowess to curate a stunning, functional layout that is sure to endure.
By following this process, we can transform your cluttered space into a beautifully organized oasis that brings joy and peace of mind to your daily routine.
Online Design Consultation
During our online design consultation, we'll start by discussing your vision, wishes and goals for the space. I'll ask you to provide any inspiration images, colour palettes, and measurements of the room.
Based on this, I'll create a personalized design concept, including furniture and decor recommendations, layout suggestions, and colour schemes.
After the consultation, you'll receive a comprehensive design board with product links, a space plan, and any additional notes we discussed. This will serve as your guide to transforming your space into a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing environment that aligns with your style and needs
