“I had the opportunity to work with Bernice on a virtual design session 90-minute Home Kickstarted Strategy session for my new home this past summer.
My experience working with Bernice was relaxed, informative, and accomplished what we set out to do. Bernice is incredibly down-to-earth and knowledgeable. She takes the time to talk to you and get to know your likes and dislikes, how your family functions and what your needs are.
My family and I just moved into our new home this past summer and had some ideas for design however, we were working with a limited budget as well. Bernice took the time to identify 3 projects that I could focus on – and broke it down to what I could do over time. I found it valuable to have a plan, and approximate cost and to know what the possibilities could be.
One of the things that attracted me to Bernice and her company was the wellness aspect and how to incorporate it into design. This is something that is of utmost importance to me, as I want my home to be a healthy space which brings my family function and also tranquility. Bernice taught me some very helpful tips as to creating design boards and how to incorporate wellness into my everyday function and room design.
I would recommend Bernice’s design services for a new homeowner or someone looking to make some changes and renovations to their existing space. The technical aspects of design such as furniture placement, measurements, lighting, and function, is combined with aspects of wellness and comfort. These services have been a great benefit to me as I now have a plan for the design aspects I want to put in place over time.
I didn’t know how the virtual session would be at first in respect to working with an interior designer – however the knowledge and recommendations discussed were exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks Bernice!”

“Working with Bernice (Soul Design Interiors) was a joy. She’s professional, calm and has a keen eye for style and design.
What we loved most is that she listened to what we liked, took cues from other rooms in the house and then put together three design options based on what she learned. She created concepts for an empty, cold basement and helped us transform it into a warm and inviting bedroom/office.
Her shopping guide was invaluable as it helped to narrow down the overwhelming amount of furniture options available. A huge bonus was having access to her designer ID while shopping, we got some amazing discounts.
We are so happy to have worked with her. We love our space!”

“In 2017, Omazzii had been prematurely evacuated for building works. At this time I had known Bernice (Soul Design Interiors) as my print client working in interior design. I knew I could count on her expertise and ability to turn around projects fast. Needless to say, Bernice worked with me on the floor plans, planning every last detail, from walls, paint colour, all the way to electrical and ethernet receptacles.
Within 2 days during the December holidays, she connected me to an architect who reviewed and stamped my drawings to be submitted to the new landlord, contractors, and the City of Toronto.
It's been 5 years since, our new printshop is still functional and even with equipment changed multiple times to accommodate growth and technological updates, the plans laid out with Bernice's help still look great and leave no space unused.
If you are lucky to work with Bernice, she moves quick, holds everyone accountable, she has a great sense of trends and functional design, and she has a diverse network of professionals who together remove complexity in otherwise long processes.”

“When hiring someone to decorate and organize one’s home, the comfort that person brings working with the homeowner is paramount, being able to listen, adapt and find efficient and aesthetically pleasing solutions is of the utmost importance and Bernice accomplishes this with grace, poise and a creative touch rooted in her many years of studding design.
We gained a well-rounded outlook of what our vision can be in the future and a fantastic starting point for what we want the space to be today. The results were swift, of great quality and with our budget in mind.”

“I recently took on my first renovation project with my partner. It also happened to be our first home purchase, so you could say it was a little ambitious to start knocking down walls in our first flat together, but here we are!
I reached out to Bernice (Soul Design Interiors) multiple times throughout the process for her expertise on how to design an open plan living space. There were so many details I was missing! She was quick to address what we needed and how we could do those things within our budget. She helped us choose where to put the electrics and also design the kitchen so it flowed nicely with the rest of the space.
We absolutely love how the flat turned out, especially the kitchen and the materials chosen for it with Bernice's help. It's definitely a focal point of the space and has the wow-factor we were looking for.
I trust her experience in this area and she is very good at blending what her clients need with what they want. We were unsure of some of the materials to source for the project and Bernice steered us in the right direction for that as well. I would highly recommend her and would engage her again for any future work. ”
