Colour Consultation
Colour has the power to transform your space. You can use wood accents to make a minimalistic and modern bathroom feel more organic or use colour to describe your lifestyle in a bold red kitchen. From the right wood tone to the colour hue that best represents you, choosing the right colours is essential to complete any space in your home. Colours can also change how a room feels, making a space seem bigger or more cozy, help you focus or be creative, and most importantly, show off your personal style and who you are. We specialize in incorporating your taste through colours into your interior design renovation.
Lighting Design
Our team will help you choose the proper lighting for your space: natural or artificial, ambient or accent, task or decorative. We will work with you to create a lighting plan that illuminates your space effectively and aesthetically. We will also consider the energy efficiency and environmental impact of your lighting choices and recommend solutions that reduce your energy consumption by taking the most advantage of available natural light and implementing efficient options such as LED lights into your interior design project.
Selection of 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, no product or material is perfect, unfortunately. 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 that is right for you.

Frustrating to Functional Layouts
Our Design Process: Step By Step
At Sosna, there are four main steps in our renovation process:
- Step 1 – Consult
- Step 2 – Design
- Step 3 – Quote
- Step 4 – Renovate
Step 2, Design, is arguably the most important step. It is also the most difficult step for the homeowner because of a multitude of decisions that need to be made. The goal of this step is to perfectly balance your budget with the vision you have for your home. In our experience, from doing this for over 20 years a well executed, detailed and thorough design and pre-construction planning amounts to 50% success of any remodeling project.Â
The design step consists of 3 phases, design layout and selections, forensic house inspection, and estimating and scoping.
Renovating Your Entire Home the Sosna Way
We pair you with an in-house Designer who collaborates with you to create the optimal design plan for your home, tailored to your budget and needs. Your Designer will assist you in choosing all the necessary finishing materials and fixtures to realize your vision.
Our Production Team, consisting of engineers, specialists, and tradesmen, performs thorough inspections to identify any potential challenges that might affect your chosen design elements or budget. This proactive approach helps avoid unexpected issues during construction.
In this phase, we focus on preparing detailed drawings and a comprehensive scope of work, including a complete list of all materials. We’re also engaged in gathering quotes and estimates from various vendors.
Typically, this Design stage requires an investment of 3% to 5% of the initial budget from you. This amount will be credited against the construction costs if you decide to proceed with our services.
At Sosna, we pride ourselves on our proven, meticulous design process that took years to develop. It has led to hundreds of satisfied clients who have greatly appreciated the attention to detail we pack into all our interior design projects in Toronto and the GTA.

There is no doubt that our designer’s style differs from yours. Yes, fortunately!Â
Our designers are artists who are truly passionate about what they do. Their tastes are so unique and particular that they may not be compatible with most people. We often joke that they are from another planet. It is precisely their unique way of seeing space that makes them designers.
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.Â
Design is about creating a solution just for you.
