As a professional house painter, I’ve been working with Linda on projects going back almost 10 years now. It’s always a joy to see what she has designed and work with her to achieve that vision. I appreciate her organization and communication, her openness to questions and feedback, and her willingness to listen to product recommendations or ways of doing things. Overall a true professional that I hope to work with for years to come. More...

I’ve been fortunate to work with Linda by supplying wallpaper and fabric for her projects, and she is truly a joy to work with. Her design vision is both creative and inspiring, yet also deeply thoughtful as she’s committed to creating beautiful, livable spaces that are uniquely curated for each client. I highly recommend Linda to anyone seeking a talented and dedicated interior designer. More...

Peace and Happiness
I was not at all impressed. Had requested some design ideas for my condo and Linda just gave me the same ideas I have got from doing an internet search! Also, I found her interactions to be very unprofessional (ill-tempered). Would give zero stars if I could. More...

It was a pleasure to work with Linda on the design of our townhome. Being a ‘new build’ our home was a blank slate. She worked with us to create a warm beautiful home that encapsulates the tastes and needs of our family. She listened to our comments, adapted plans and was quick to find solutions. She respected our budget and was excellent at selecting the impactful things to spend it on. The crafts people and trades she engaged were all lovely (and talented). We love our new place and are very grateful to Linda for helping to make it feel like home. More...

I cannot recommend Quintessential Living enough! From start to finish, working with Linda has been an absolute dream. She has an incredible eye for design and truly understands how to blend style, comfort, and functionality in a way that exceeds expectations. Linda took the time to listen to my vision and transformed my space into something beyond what I could have imagined. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she made sure every piece, from furniture to accessories, perfectly complemented each other. She was also incredibly easy to work with—professional, communicative, and always full of creative ideas. If you're looking for an interior decorator who goes above and beyond, Linda is the one! I'm so happy with the results and can't wait to work with her again in the future! More...

Linda was great to work with from start to finish. She brought unique yet functional design ideas to the table, while keeping my personal taste and style in mind. I love my new space!
Deirdre
To say Linda “understood the assignment” would be an understatement.
She far exceeded my expectations, and she did it with professionalism and grace.
I love my home, and I would (and have!) recommend Linda to anyone.
She will work with you and your budget/vision to create an oasis. You won’t regret hiring her!

I worked with Linda on my condo and she was extremely professional, personable and creative. Linda was easy to work with and had a clear understanding of what I wanted and needed. She completed everything right within my budget. She fulfilled my request to transform an empty, bare-bones condo into a lovely, bright and functional home. I highly recommend her service! More...

What’s your interior design process?
1. Discovery call: We schedule a brief phone call to learn about your design project and discuss the design process.
2. Consultation: We can then book a home consultation where I come to your space and walk through each area to discuss the needs and design scope. I can then provide an accurate estimate for your furniture budget as well as a quote for the design service.
3. Presentation Meeting: Once we move forward, I will begin designing your space. We will then have a Presentation Meeting in a few weeks where I will present the design concept, imagery of all furniture selected, floor plan drawings and budget. Once approved, I will project manage the whole process.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Every project is built around a custom concept tailored to each client’s needs—whether contemporary, traditional, mid-century modern, West Coast, masculine, eclectic, industrial, or boho
