Jude Kamal of Samsa Interiors has been in the game since 2013. Even though she only started her company in 2020, they’ve been featured in several publications like Casa Vogue, Micasa, and Elle Canada, garnering attention from accolades.

We consider such credentials as a pro because this speaks volumes about Kamal’s talent and showcases her team’s ability to create top-notch designs.

It’s also worth noting that Kamal works with residential and commercial clientele. Whether you’re looking to revamp your home, create a chic office space, or design a dreamy vacation home, we’re glad they’ve got you covered.

And if you’re planning to create the interior of your vacation home, we’re glad to share that you can rely on Kamal with it. We think this is worth highlighting because even she’s one of the few consultants who includes this as one of her staples!

Furthermore, the customers we surveyed praised Kamal’s team for their attentiveness and responsiveness. We consider this an outstanding trait because it ensures clients that their visions will come to life.

Understanding the hustle and bustle of daily life, Sansa Interiors stands out by being available on weekends. For us, this accessibility is a game-changer for clients with busy schedules. 

Finally, we think their portfolio is noteworthy because of the diverse projects. We also like that the visuals include essential details like budget, timeline, and property size, allowing clients to evaluate their design approach quickly.

Molly Hilton of Design to Impress has been in the interior design industry since 2009. Besides that, we also think her 30 years of experience as a renovator to be a pro because it ensures clients will get a comprehensive and insightful approach. 

That said, in addition to regular interior design services, Hilton integrates renovation services into its offerings. From home staging to painting and beyond, we’re glad that Design to Impress Toronto provides a one-stop shop for transforming your space.

But, it’s worth noting that the Hilton focuses on residential projects, which might be a drawback for those seeking commercial design services.

Still, several clients we spoke with praised Hilton’s team for their professionalism and for getting ahead on project deadlines. We give them two thumbs up for their efficiency because it showcases their commitment to delivering precise and quality results.

In terms of availability, Design to Impress is available even on weekends. Moreover, we like that they operate from 7 AM to 11 PM because it provides extended availability that exceeds other design teams and flexibility to adapt to diverse schedules.

While Design to Impress boasts an extensive portfolio, there’s room for improvement in their project details. We think more relevant information about each work could better inform potential clients and showcase the depth of their expertise.

Sarah Richardson and her design team have been in the industry since the late 1990s, solidifying her as a seasoned professional. We also think that her TV appearances as a host add a unique flair to her credentials and confidence to clients.

Notably, Richardson’s works have garnered recognition from renowned publications like House and Home, Canadian Living, and House Beautiful. We like this because it proves they produce quality work, assuring clients they’re in capable hands.

Specializing in residential design, Sarah Richardson’s focus is a boon for those seeking elegance and comfort in their homes. However, we think this specialization might be a slight hindrance for those eyeing her commercial projects,

According to our surveys, Richardson and her team are approachable, professional, and committed to bringing their client’s ideas to life. 

In our books, this client-centric approach is a green flag because it ensures a collaborative and enjoyable design journey.

Sarah Richardson Design Inc.’s portfolio is a visual feast, thoughtfully organized based on themes, such as minimalist, modern, urban, and more. 

So, whether your heart leans towards minimalist, modern urban, or European chic interiors, there’s no doubt navigating their collection is a breeze!

On the other hand, it’s worth noting that while the themes are captivating, the portfolio lacks relevant details. Although it’s quite a hurdle, a friendly call to their team is the best if you want a more comprehensive discussion about their work.

And unlike other interior design firms, we think it’s a letdown that Richardson’s operational hours aren’t easily accessible on their website. It would be beneficial if they could include this information, allowing clients to assess their services more seamlessly.

Baraa Barazi of Lux Interior Design excels in multiple design types. From classic and modern to contemporary and industrial, his versatility is something we like because it ensures clients can find the perfect aesthetic match for their vision.

Also, we think Barazi’s 15 years of experience in the field makes him stand as one of the senior designers at Lux Interior Design. 

For us, this experience is a testament to his expertise, assuring clients that their projects are in capable hands.

Lux also distinguishes themselves by catering to residential, commercial, and clients building condominiums. We think it’s worth noting as this extends their design prowess to more types of projects.

While Lux Interior Design boasts a wealth of design expertise, we think their accessibility falls short for some clients. Unlike other firms in the area, they’re closed on weekends, presenting a potential challenge for busy clients.

On a positive note, we found that Lux’s portfolio is a visual delight, thoughtfully curated into residential and commercial projects. We just hope that they can add some details and case studies for clients seeking more comprehensive insights.

Nevertheless, we’re glad to find that many clients we surveyed often praised Barazi and his team for being attentive listeners and adept at providing regular project updates.

Vinh Le and his firm, Level Studio Inc., started making waves in the interior design field in 2017. 

While they’re younger than their competitors, we think their freshness in the industry offers clients a contemporary outlook with a touch of innovative design ideas.

From what we’ve seen, a highlight of their design approach is how it emphasizes functionality. 

Also, it’s worth noting that having two interior designers working in tandem in the company, presents a collaborative advantage. 

We like this synergy between the designers as it allows for a broader spectrum of ideas, ensuring a well-rounded and creative design process.

However, we must note that Vinh Le and his team only work with residential clients. So, if you want to team up for your business, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

From our surveys, clients who hired Vinh Le often praise their personable and efficient work style. We think they deserve praise for this professionalism because it creates an environment where clients feel heard and involved in the design journey.

We’re also pleased at how Level Studio’s portfolio provides insightful details on project progress and their thought process. We commend this transparency as it helps clients grasp their design approach immediately, enhancing the decision-making process.

We’re just quite iffy that they’re unavailable on weekends, giving busy clients less of a window to check in with them.
