Timeless, Warm & Intentional Homes Designed around your Life.
A home should feel like a reflection of the life unfolding within it - personal, considered, and entirely your own.
We begin by understanding how you live and how you want to feel, then thoughtfully layer architecture, materials, furnishings, and detail to create spaces that feel effortless, collected, and timeless.
Because exceptional design isn’t about creating a beautiful space. It’s about creating a home that feels unmistakably you.

What Clients are Saying
“Kayla was wonderful to work with on planning my new build. She was flexible in working virtually with me to accomplish my goals. She is very warm and friendly.
I felt very comfortable and trusted her fully. I really appreciated the attention she gave my project and the focus on even the smallest details. Not only did she have a beautiful design approach, but she is also very practical in her approach. She understood the need for functionality in our home.
She offered great solutions and the work products she provided me with were extremely organized and useful to me as I continued to navigate construction: I do plan to use Kayla again. I couldn’t recommend her enough in any and all capacities for your project.”

“As a general contractor, I've had the opportunity to work alongside many designers over the years, and collaborating with Kayla at The Designed Life is always a great experience.
We've partnered on several renovation projects, and what stands out most is how organized, collaborative, and invested she is from start to finish. Her construction drawings are clear, detailed, and well thought out, making it easy to price projects accurately and execute the design with confidence. She has a strong understanding of both design and construction, which helps avoid issues before they ever reach the job site.
Kayla is also an excellent communicator. She remains the primary point of contact for the client throughout the project, keeping everyone informed and ensuring decisions are made quickly and efficiently. Whenever challenges arise, we work through them together to find practical, creative solutions, making the renovation process far less stressful for both the client and the trades.
Beyond her talent as an interior designer, Kayla is simply a pleasure to work with. She's professional, approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about every detail. That level of involvement makes a noticeable difference in the quality of the finished project.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Designed Life to anyone planning a custom home or major renovation, and I look forward to working with Kayla again on future projects!”

“Working with our interior designer on our new veterinary clinic was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our very first conversations about creating a warm, rural, natural atmosphere, she took our ideas and transformed them into something far beyond what we could have imagined.
Her vision, creativity, and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the clinic. From the exterior finishes that create such a welcoming first impression to the interior furnishings, colours, textures, and thoughtful design elements, every choice was purposeful and beautifully executed. She understood exactly what we wanted our clients and patients to feel the moment they walked through the door.
We are incredibly proud of our new clinic, and so much of that is thanks to her inspiration, expertise, and dedication. If you're looking for a designer who listens, brings fresh ideas, and delivers exceptional results, I couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you for helping turn our dream into a space that truly reflects who we are and what we wanted to create.”
