FAQs

What services does Paradox Interior Design offer?

We specialize in residential interior design services, with a focus on creating beautiful and functional renovations. Our expertise includes luxury kitchen designs, bathroom renovations, whole-home transformations, and we're expanding into hospitality projects such as cafes, small restaurants, and boutique hotels. We work throughout the Greater Toronto Area and offer virtual design consultations for clients across Canada.

What makes Paradox Interior Design different from other designers?

Our bespoke approach means we never impose a particular style on your project. Instead, we collaborate closely with you to bring your vision to life, whether that's modern, traditional, transitional, or any style you prefer. We're known for exceptional customer service, genuine client focus, and our philosophy that beauty meets purpose in every design.

Do you have a signature design style?

No. We design in any style our clients prefer and adapt our approach to match your vision. While transitional style has been particularly successful in Toronto, we're equally comfortable creating modern, traditional, minimalist, or eclectic spaces based on what resonates with you.

How does the design process work?

Our process begins with a free initial consultation by phone to discuss your project. This is followed by a site visit to assess the space, after which we provide a detailed estimate. Once you approve, we draft and sign a contract, then move forward with the design phases.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, we offer a free initial consultation by phone to discuss your project needs and vision. This allows us to understand your goals and determine if we're the right fit for your project.

Do you offer virtual design consultations?

How much do your services cost?

Every project is different, and we price them based on the actual requirements and scope of work. We believe in providing transparent, customized quotes that reflect your specific needs and vision. Contact us to discuss the details of your project and receive a personalized estimate.

What is your payment schedule?

We require a 50% deposit upfront to begin work, with the remainder tied to project milestones and phases. This ensures steady progress and allows us to dedicate the necessary resources to your project.
