Dressing Rooms' work has been featured Canada-wide on Global Television, so there is no shying away from taking on your interior design dilemmas and providing winning design solutions for beautiful spaces. When you turn your sights to design, it is usually because something is not quite working, and in many cases, you don't know how to fix it. The idea of taking on a design project is daunting for most...the time, the decisions....you have enough to worry about already...right?! Well, relax...because Darlene Hall-Barrett of Dressing Rooms is in the business of helping you recreate your interior spaces to effect personalized comfort and beauty. 

 

Even choosing paint, it sounds simple, but the psychology of what colour can do for your mental and physical well being is incredible and should not be taken lightly...there is much more to it than just picking a pretty hue. Having instructed thousands of colour consultants across North America to understand the effects of colour, you are in good hands. Changing how you feel when you walk into a room is the ultimate goal.

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started."—Mark Twain

The process is simple.

Following a complimentary introduction call to learn more about you and your needs,  if moving ahead, every project starts with a two-hour home consultation. This consultation is impactful! It will move you forward with confidence towards those design goals that you have been wanting to implement but have not had the time or the experience to complete. 

It will either be a stand-alone working session where you get immediate design direction such as paint colours, determining 

how large your island should be, or choosing some backsplash tiles that you have been contemplating for a week in your kitchen. Otherwise, for more involved decor or design projects, this meeting will be an information gathering session to learn more about your personal design aesthetic and needs, timelines, and taking initial measures. This will help determine a scope of work and is a much needed stepping stone to your home's beautiful transition. This consult is a pre-paid service. —$425 plus hst
