I follow a lot of designers, but the ones I come back to again and again are the Canadians — the people designing for our light, our long winters, and the warm, natural, lived-in look I love most. So I pulled together fifteen interior designers and firms from across the country whose feeds genuinely make me want to redo a room. They range from quiet West Coast warmth to bold prairie maximalism, and every one of them is worth a follow.
I've grouped them loosely by region so you can find the people working closest to your light and your landscape.
West Coast warmth (British Columbia)
1. Sophie Burke Design — Vancouver
Sophie Burke is one of the most decorated names in the city, and for good reason — her work has that understated, light-filled Pacific Northwest calm that pairs beautifully with raw natural materials. Named Western Living's 2024 Interior Designer of the Year, her rooms feel quietly luxurious without ever shouting. Follow @sophieburkedesign for warm, timeless spaces with serious restraint.
2. Falken Reynolds Interiors — Vancouver
Principals Chad Falkenberg and Kelly Reynolds describe their work as a balance of modernity and warmth, richness and restraint — which is basically the organic-modern thesis in a sentence (our guide to organic modern interior design unpacks the whole look). They were named Western Living's 2023 Interior Designers of the Year, and their West Coast homes have appeared in AD, Dwell, and Dezeen. Follow @falkenreynolds.
3. Kelly Deck Design — Vancouver
Working out of Kitsilano, Kelly Deck has spent two decades crafting tranquil, deeply personal high-end homes, from oceanside estates to city houses. Her spaces lean elegant and serene, with a globe-trotter's eye for craft and texture. Follow @kellydeckdesign for calm, layered, livable luxury.
4. Beyond Beige Interior Design — North Vancouver
Founded by Reisa Pollard, Beyond Beige has racked up 500-plus projects across Vancouver, Whistler, and Kelowna. The name is a wink: her work is anything but plain, but it's rooted in figuring out what genuinely resonates with each client rather than chasing trends. A great follow if you like spaces with real personality.
5. Jamie Banfield Design — Port Moody
Jamie Banfield's studio specializes in renovations and custom homes for the way families actually live — calm, intuitive, quietly refined spaces with strong West Coast bones. He's a recognized leader in Canadian residential design and a member of Passive House Canada, so there's a thoughtful, sustainable streak to the work too.
Prairie bold (Alberta)
6. Nam Dang-Mitchell Design — Calgary
If you love neutral palettes layered with pattern, texture, and a little edge, Nam Dang-Mitchell is your designer. House & Home named her Designer of the Year in 2019, and her rooms strike that classic-with-a-twist balance so well. Her feed, @namdangmitchell, is also a joy for vintage finds and travel inspiration.
7. Amanda Hamilton Interior Design — Calgary
Amanda Hamilton brings bold, unorthodox energy to residential and commercial work across Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. She's NCIDQ-certified and LEED-accredited, and her studio's portfolio runs from custom homes to restaurants and hotels. Follow @ahidstudio if you want a jolt of confidence and colour.
8. Reena Sotropa In House Design Group — Calgary
Reena Sotropa's studio is known for "casually elegant" interiors — timeless rooms with a fresh, youthful twist that hold up to busy family life. Canadian House & Home tapped the firm as one to watch. Follow @in.house.design for warm, classic spaces that don't feel precious.
Toronto talent (Ontario)
9. Sarah Richardson Design — Toronto
Sarah Richardson is arguably Canada's most recognizable designer, with nine HGTV series and a handful of bestselling books to her name. Her style is the warm, collected, old-meets-new look that taught a generation of us how to layer a room. Sarah Richardson Design has served clients since 1998, and her feed remains a masterclass in approachable elegance.
10. TOM Design Collective — Toronto
Co-founded by Tommy Smythe — House & Home's 2025 Designer of the Year — alongside Lindsay Mens and Kate Stuart, this studio is beloved for its fearless mix of fine art, vintage, antique, and modern pieces, all tied together with an unbeatable sense of colour. Follow the studio at @tomdesigncollective, and Tommy himself at @tommysmythe.
11. Ali Budd Interiors — Toronto
Ali Budd built her "quiet luxury" firm from a basement into a globally working studio, and now stars in HGTV's House of Ali. Her work is contemporary, timeless, and livable, full of curated and bespoke moments. Follow @alibuddinteriors for polished, layered rooms with an edge.
12. Gillian Gillies Interiors — Toronto
Edinburgh-born Gillian Gillies brings a love of natural materials, symmetry, and a little eclectic playfulness to her Toronto studio. House & Home named her "The One to Watch," and her tactile, comforting rooms balance heritage and vintage finds with timeless calm. Follow @gilliangillies.
13. Croma Design — Toronto
A full-service, multi-disciplinary firm founded in 2004, Croma works across residential, hospitality, and retail with a focus on modern sophistication. They have a knack for creating a luxe feel at a range of budgets, with projects across Canada, the U.S., and beyond. Follow @cromadesign.
Quebec craft
14. Les Ensembliers — Montreal
Richard Ouellette (interior designer) and Maxime Vandal (architect) run one of Quebec's most distinctive practices, integrating architecture, interior design, and construction under one roof. Their high-end residential work is rich, layered, and full of European-influenced glamour with a North American ease. Follow @les_ensembliers.
15. Mazen Studio — Toronto
Creative director Mazen El-Abdallah designs spaces that prioritize structure, flow, texture, and material over anything superficial — a sensibility right at home in the organic-modern world. The studio works on residential and workplace projects across North America with an architectural eye. Follow @mazenstudio for restrained, material-forward interiors.
A few I'd add to your list
Canada's design scene is deep, so consider this a starting point rather than the final word. Whatever your style, the through-line with all of these designers is intentionality — rooms made for real life, in our climate, with materials that age well. It's also worth knowing how they source: many of these studios spec fabrics, trim, and wallcovering from to-the-trade houses like Kravet, which sell through designers rather than direct to the public. Follow a handful, save what speaks to you, and let your own taste sharpen from there.
