At Maison Blonde, our mission is to create timeless, thoughtful interiors that feel as personal as they are refined. We take the time to truly understand your vision and lifestyle, blending it with our design expertise to shape spaces that are both elevated and entirely your own.

With years of experience in both design and construction, we take pride in our refined, hands-on process and collaborative approach that consistently delivers beautiful results and brings clarity, creativity, and care to every stage of your project.

We enjoy working closely with clients, contractors, and architects because we believe that the most thoughtful and layered designs are born from a collaborative and creative process. 

Full Service Interior Design (New Build or Renovation)

Full-Service Interior Design is ideal for clients building a new home or undertaking a significant renovation. From initial concepts to final installation, we manage every detail with care and precision.

Working closely with your architect and builder, our skilled team oversees all aspects of the design process. We begin with space planning and design concept development, guiding you through architectural details, materials, custom millwork, and fixtures. As the vision takes shape, we source and procure custom furnishings, lighting, hardware, textiles, and art; each selection layered thoughtfully to reflect your lifestyle and vision.

We remain hands-on throughout the process, overseeing timelines, managing vendors, and ensuring every detail aligns with the larger design vision. The result is a cohesive, beautifully executed home that feels curated, considered, and completely turnkey.

  • "Nicole has transformed our entire home, and the finished product is incredibly beautiful. She helped us choose all the builder finishes as it was being built, and created a furniture and room plan with additional custom millwork. The end result is a cohesive and custom-feeling home. We receive compliments from everyone who stops by, and all we can do is point them to Nicole. Her instincts, creativity, industry network, and experience were on display throughout our experience. She knew the best trades to work with for specific projects, and the best vendors for pieces that fit perfectly. We also loved how collaborative she was in the process. She was very responsive and always seeking to ensure our style preferences were accommodated, providing us with options across different price points to keep within our budget. The end result has been amazing and we would recommend her and her talented team to anyone. They are working on our backyard next, and the mock-ups are already beautiful, creative, and functional. If you are considering design help, do not hesitate to contact her!"

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It is best to reach out as early as possible to give ample time to plan your project! Most renovation projects require a minimum of 3-6 months of planning and design before construction starts, to develop the design and assemble a detailed construction package to hand off to your builder/contractor. New builds can require between 6-9 months before construction commences, depending on the level of detail, the size of your home, and the builder’s timeline. By intentionally limiting the number of projects we take on, we’re able to give each client the attention to detail they deserve. 

  • Yes, we’re always happy to travel! While our studio is based in Ottawa, we’ve had the pleasure of working with clients across North America and recently completed our first international project in Ireland. Whether near or far, we bring the same thoughtful approach and personalized service to every project.

  • No, we source the right pieces for your specific project. While our storefront offers a curated glimpse into our aesthetic, we source furnishings from a wide range of vendors to ensure each project feels unique and personal. This includes our network of exclusive trade-only partners, as well as select retail pieces when appropriate. Every selection is made with intention, tailored to suit your home and lifestyle.

  • For Full-Service Interior Design, we charge an hourly rate. Following an initial discovery call, we prepare a tailored proposal outlining the scope of work and an estimated number of hours based on your project’s specific needs.

    Our years of experience allow us to accurately anticipate the time required to bring a home to life, and we are always mindful to keep our pricing competitive and transparent. As a general guideline, design services typically account for approximately 5–10% of your overall project budget.

  • Absolutely. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with your chosen professionals throughout the entire design process—ensuring that ideas are aligned, timelines are respected, and the final outcome reflects the vision we’ve built together.

    Whether you’re starting with a blank slate or stepping into a renovation, we’re here to support and guide every member of your team from concept through to completion.
