Studio 853 Design- Professional Interiors & Landscape design

Working with Chantale is an absolute pleasure. Her eye for detail and quality is unmatched and the end results are the proof!

Thank you Chantale for your expertise in picking our new paint colours for our business. We have received many compliments on the update and choice of colours. The selections complimented our existing décor while giving us a more modern feel. We appreciate you coming to our location to meet with us, present your choices and giving us a detailed outline/floor plan for our painters to follow. We look forward to working with you again!

I had the pleasure to work with Chantale and her team during our office renovations and they made the experience from beginning to the end flawless and very enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend Studio 853 design without any reservations to anyone who wants a trustworthy team with impeccable taste and positive attitude. Studio 853 will work WITH you to create the perfect environment.

We began the process of building our home last year. Site clearing complete, permits pulled and floor plan selected, our vision was to do as much of this as we could ourselves. Recognizing a need for an expert in the area of design to tie our vision together we were referred to Studio 853 by a reputable builder. From their initial greeting (over email) to our face to face meeting we knew we found the right firm to bring our vision together. Chantale is passionate, dedicated and experienced. Chantale is a professional and a far cry from your typical "recent college grad in home design", "go check out Housz" and Pinterest expert, Chantale takes the time to get to know you, your vision, your hopes. With experience in markets outside Ottawa (thankfully) her perspective is wide open. Chantale never imposed a vision, never asked us to "see it her way", Chantale is an expert and making YOUR home YOUR way. Chantale has a knack for fostering the creative process. All that said made it very difficult to ultimately choose a different direction in actually bringing our concept to design. I have no doubt had we retained Studio 853 to do the design and help us through the building process we would have had one heck of a house. The decision was not at all a result of factors in Studio 853's control, we selected a different builder (a husband and wife team), where one design and one builds. At this high calibre, top notch and quality level where Studio 853 operates it makes it very difficult to pick one firm over another. Our decision was based on a recent project undertaken by the builder we selected and again was totally outside the control of Studio 853. I have no hesitation is recommending this firm and Chantale for any future project, when landscaping times comes (in a couple years) I know who I will be calling. Do not hesitate to consider Studio 853 for your design needs, they will blow you away.

As the Operations Manager of Highbridge Construction, we have been able to work with Chantale and Studio 853 on several projects. Chantale is extremely talented and pleasant to deal with. Her communication with our team, as well as our clients, keeps everyone on the same page and thoroughly informed. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend using Chantale and Studio 853 to help create your vision.

When we purchased our home in Ottawa, our excitement quickly turned to feeling overwhelmed because of the amount of work it needed before it could feel like our home. We needed to update the entire home as everything was original (from the 60s!). We just didn’t know where to begin. Then, we discovered Chantale at Studio 853! Her ideas on how to make our spaces beautiful and functional blew us away! She really made sure to stay true to the home by enhancing existing features and incorporating them into a fresh, stylish, sophisticated look. Her and her team where able to provide a 3-D depiction of what the house will look like – this helped so much in being able to see her vision. We could not be happier with the results and with the relationship we built. Chantale was always available to answer any design questions our contractors had – with an older home, there are always surprises and Chantale offered amazing guidance to make it work. We can’t emphasize enough how amazing she made our home look and we look forward to having her design the landscape and back yard.

We've just went through major renovations / additions to our house. Chantale and her team was always ready to sit down with us to go through materials and recommendations. Every Client is treated as a VIP with Studio 853!
