Calgary Interior Design

Due to COVID, I was spending more time at home, including working remotely. That was the starting point - I wanted to create a dedicated office area in my living room with better space management and a cohesive look. I wanted the space to be calming, serene and reflect my style. Anna-Ruth was wonderful to work with. She’s empathetic and listened closely to what I wanted and needed. She has a great sense of humour but is honest - she gives her opinion(s) in a kind and considerate way. The added complication of my living across the country was no problem for Anna-Ruth.When people see the new layout, they love the changes. Anna-Ruth was able to envision something for my space that I hadn’t in the 12 years I’ve lived here. I highly recommend Dare Interiors to anyone who wants a designer who has a great design aesthetic, who’s thorough and patient and can even keep a remote project on track.

Working with Anna-Ruth to design the spaces in my new home was a great experience!  She helped me hone in on my own personal style and vision and combined them with her expertise and experience, to come up with a cohesive and beautifully designed home. Anna-Ruth considered not only what each room in my home was going to look like, but also how it was going to be used. Throughout the entire design process Anna-Ruth’s attention to detail was second to none.  She truly understands design and how to bring her clients vision to life.  I am extremely happy with the service provided by Anna-Ruth, and with the way my home turned out.  I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to have a beautiful, unique and functional designed space that you will love for years to come.

I hired Anna-Ruth to make updates to our great room. It was getting a bit dated, so I wanted to freshen the space. We created a gallery and Anna-Ruth, who has an amazing intrinsic sense of colour, form and design, hooked in elements between the art and the furniture. One of the pieces is this impressive coffee table. Anna-Ruth was able to pick up the beautiful honey tones within the table and reflect that in the artwork. Before, it was just a table in a room; now, it’s a showpiece. We also hired her as a project manager when we commissioned three art pieces. She coordinated with the artists to create the perfect pieces that fit the colour scheme, our personalities and the space. I appreciate her openness to explore ideas beyond her personal preference - Anna-Ruth’s honesty and integrity show that she always has your best interest in mind.
