Designers & Decorators - Help For Your Home
No, it's not a misprint... or double-talk either! What I'm getting at is the fact that we are living in a world of infinite choice when it comes to building, renovating and decorating our homes, and while this is an exciting marketplace, the proliferation of products and experts to offer advice can quite frankly be overwhelming. Huge shifts have taken place in retail markets. Fast-paced lifestyles and the demands on our time, combined with global access to products, have driven a greater wedge in the marketplace between mass merchandising (box-store home centres) and one-on-one custom and specialized services with little or no retail focus. The competition for homeowners' attention in every product category is intense as companies scramble to find new ways to convince buyers that their products are the right ones, including the more recently discovered marketing power of "going green."For the average homeowner, by the time you get to make choices about furniture, draperies and accessories, the budget has already been challenged by choices over expensive cars, widescreen TVs, computers and leisure toys - not to mention granite countertops, kitchen appliances and numerous other home products. Balancing the cost of these "want to have" items with furnishings can be a juggling act at best. Everywhere I hear people asking, "where do I shop for something in-between cheap and high-end? Where do I find the middle of the road - that place where I can depend on good quality for value pricing? And most importantly, how do I know who to believe with all the product claims being made? How do I put it all together so that it pleases me?" Read the full Our Homes Article

Testimonials
"In no time flat, Irene knew who I was, what my lifestyle was, what my background was, what I liked and didn't like and I think that's the key to the whole thing. I love it, just love it."
Sheila Clarke
"Details that were already in the house were part of the plan...there was a particular kind of furniture we had and they picked up some of the line in the detail and colour right away. It was amazing to me what they were able to do with the fabrics. I never would have thought of that, but it looks great!"
Rev. Art Storey
"The interesting thing about Irene was that she took me outside of the 'box'...it was an awesome experience...courteous and fun. Irene offers more than just decorating like furniture refinishing and draperies so for me it was one stop shopping."
Cathy Barker
"Initially, we were he hesitant to contact an Interior Designer because we wanted our home to reflect our tastes and not someone else's. Contacting Turnbull Interiors was the best thing we could have done. Irene took detailed notes of our colour preferences and of environments that made us feel comfortable. She spent many hours developing designs and colour schemes that worked for us. We feel happy and relaxed in our new surroundings and thank Bill and Irene for turning our house into our home.
Linda and Bill Huttons
"Irene has a knack of drawing out our feelings and likes and with her amazing team put together a room that gives us the warm cozy feeling we were looking for. Through conversations with both of us, Irene was able to determine what colour and style we preferred to feel calm and relaxed in our new space.
