Space Planning
We can help you optimize the layout and functionality of your space, whether big or small.

Furniture Layout
Our expertise lies in creating the ideal furniture layout for your space.

While we don’t select or source furniture, we offer valuable insights on the dimensions and types of furniture that will fit best in your area.

Colour Consultation
Colour has the power to transform your space. We specialize in incorporating your taste through colours into your interior design renovation. Colours can change how a room feels, making a space seem bigger or cosy, help you focus or be creative, and, most importantly, show off your personal style and who you are.

Lighting Design
As part of our renovation process, our team will help you choose the proper lighting for your space, working with you to create a lighting plan that illuminates your space effectively and esthetically. We will also consider the energy efficiency and environmental impact of your lighting choices and recommend solutions to reduce energy consumption and maximize available natural light.

Fixtures and Finishes
Our designers specialize in home renovation and are up to date on what materials and fixtures are available on the market today. There are always pros and cons to every material or fixture and our designers will guide you through a myriad of options and educate you on all the pros and cons so that you can make a decision for your renovation project that is right for you.

Inspection and Project Management
We go beyond traditional project management by incorporating inspections during the design phase and cutting openings to identify and address potential obstacles early. Through value engineering, we collaborate with engineers and trades to find the most effective ways to achieve your design goals. A dedicated project manager ensures seamless coordination, monitoring quality, timelines, and budget, while keeping you informed every step of the way.

Our Interior Design Process

At SOSNA, there are five main steps in our renovation process: consultation, design, quote, construction, and warranty & support.

Step 2 — design — is key, and the most difficult one for the homeowner because of the many decisions that need to be made. The goal of this step is to balance your budget with the vision you have for your home.

In our 20+ years of experience, a well-executed, detailed and thorough design and pre-construction plan amounts to 50% of the success of any remodelling project.

The design step consists of the following 3 elements.

Step 1 - Layout & Selections

Step 1 - Layout & Selections

We pair you with an in-house designer, who collaborates with you to create the ideal design plan for your home, tailored to your budget and needs. Your designer will assist you in choosing all necessary finishing materials and fixtures to realize your vision.

 
Step 2 - Forensic Home Inspection

Step 2 - Forensic Home Inspection

Our construction team, consisting of engineers, specialists, and tradespeople, performs thorough inspections of your home to identify any challenges that might affect your chosen design elements or budget. This proactive approach helps avoid unexpected issues during construction.

 
Step 3 - Estimate & Scope

Step 3 - Estimate & Scope

We prepare comprehensive drawings, scope of work, materials list, and a construction schedule, and gather quotes from various suppliers. Typically, an investment of 3% to 5% of the initial budget is required from you, which will be credited against construction costs if you proceed with our services.

Questions Our Customers Often Ask About Interior Design Services

Do you handle all aspects of the design project, including approvals required for interior design in Toronto?

Yes, we do. SOSNA is your one-stop shop for all your design needs. We handle all aspects of the design stage from start to finish, including obtaining any permits and approvals required. We have extensive experience and knowledge of the building codes and regulations required for interior design in Toronto and the GTA, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for our clients.

Yes, we do. We have worked on several heritage properties and historical sites in Toronto and the GTA. We respect and preserve these properties’ original features and character while updating them with modern amenities and styles to reflect our client’s needs and desires.

Our expertise is exclusively in residential interior design, handling projects of any size and scope. Residential and commercial interior design are two completely different worlds of design. Our strength lies in our ability to connect with our clients and their families, understanding their unique needs and lifestyles. This approach enables us to create the perfect interior design solutions tailored to each client. We have extensive experience in a wide range of residential spaces, including bungalows, split-levels, semi-detached houses, multi-unit buildings, townhouses, row houses, detached homes, condos, and apartments!

Yes, we can. We can work with any design style or theme you have in mind. If you already have a specific design in mind, our designers will collaborate with you to refine it, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your space, preferences, needs, and budget.

Alternatively, if you do not have a design style in mind, don’t worry! Our designers will work with you to create a tailored interior design for you.

Yes, we do. We offer virtual interior design consultations for clients who cannot meet us in person due to distance or other reasons. Using Zoom, we can connect via virtual meeting or phone to discuss your design needs and preferences and share design proposals and selections.

There is no doubt that our designer’s style differs from yours. But they don’t need to match!

The best designers listen, study, and investigate their clients’ preferences instead of imposing their own style on them. It is important for them to learn about the habits, preferences, and lifestyles of each member of the family.

Often, even people living under the same roof have different priorities. The designer’s job is to find a solution that works for everyone. Compromises may be necessary in this case, as well as combinations of styles and preferences.

Design is about creating a solution just for you.

Your project is led by a dedicated supervisor who is on-site every single day from start to finish.

Renovate

Your renovation journey should be exciting, not stressful. Thanks to our detailed planning and skilled tradespeople, there are no surprises at the end—just pure joy. Our clients are often overwhelmed with happiness during the final walkthrough, and we’ve even witnessed a few happy tears! Many tell us they actually enjoyed the renovation process and will miss our team! 

Even after your renovation is complete, our commitment to your satisfaction continues. We offer a 2-year warranty on all our work and take it very seriously. Every non-urgent warranty request is addressed within two business days. This ensures that any issues are resolved quickly and efficiently so you can continue to enjoy your beautiful new space without a worry in the world.

Our clients often return to us for future projects because they know we’re there for them long after the job is done. We love hearing from them, even if it’s just for a minor repair—it’s a chance to show you how much we care. 

We aim to “wow” you with our service so you’ll confidently recommend us to your friends, family, and colleagues.

We understand how hard it can be to find reliable help for small jobs, so we go the extra mile for our clients. While we don’t offer these services to the general public, we’ll gladly help you with anything your home needs, even after the warranty expires—whether it’s mounting a picture or fixing a leaky faucet. 

Our goal is for you to enjoy the process, love the result, and have complete peace of mind knowing we’re just a phone call away.

Five years after we remodeled her Thornhill home, one of our wonderful clients told us, “Every day, I come home from work, and I can’t believe this is my house!”  That’s the feeling we strive for with every project.

We want you to feel that same joy and pride in your home now and for years to come.

Quote

Estimating renovation projects inherently involves some guesswork, but we take steps to minimize it as much as possible. Here’s how:

Crystal-clear Design Drawings: Our meticulous drawings go beyond basic sketches and floor plans. They include precise measurements, elevations, sections, and details with specifications for materials and finishes and clear layouts for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. This level of detail allows us to calculate material quantities and labor hours more accurately.

Upfront Material & Fixture Selection: We work with you to select all materials and fixtures – tiles, flooring, cabinets, countertops, accessories down to the door knobs on your cabinetry – before finalizing the quote. This eliminates the need to estimate costs based on allowances, reducing the potential for surprises later.

Thorough Inspections: Before finalizing the quote, we thoroughly inspect your home’s structure, plumbing and HVAC systems, and electrical wiring. This uncovers potential unseen issues that could impact the project scope, cost, and design. By identifying these issues upfront, we can factor them into the quote, avoiding unexpected cost overruns during construction.

Only after we complete all the above-mentioned steps do we provide a fixed-price quote that we guarantee will not change during construction.
