What Clients Say…
As a 35+ year Interior Design Veteran I have helped hundreds of people create a special space they call home.
Below are a few testimonials from my Residential and Commercial clients.
“Dear Jan,
Just a short note to thank you and let you know how very happy I am with the transformation you created for my (new to me) townhome. The master bedroom is a dream with the gorgeous custom designed headboard and bedspread a perfect match together with the lamps & end tables from long ago. The carpet, wall colour and mill-work created around the window makes it a very warm & cozy room. Your design skill in the living & garden rooms are amazing also! Everything from the wall and accent colours, to the mill-work around the fireplace, my new custom sofas & window coverings.
One word ‘PERFECT‘!
My home is now a cozy comfortable place I love to come home to.
Thank You!! “

“Hi Jan,
Thank you so much for helping Wolf and I get the bedroom/closet/ensuite that we dreamed of. We are so happy with the bulkhead for recessed pot lighting that was put in the ceiling. It grounds a room that once looked cavernous and the lighting brightens the whole room. The bookshelves and window treatment are wonderful. We also love our how our ensuite turned out. It is so much more organized and useful than it was before. I love my makeup area and the sink. The extended shower is just perfect!
Our bedroom/closet/ensuite really feel like what I was looking for, a sanctuary. My love of texture is displayed in the hardwood and in the tile…I am so happy with that. I feel like a bit of nature is part of our space. Thank you as well for your patience, ideas, advice and warmth.
You are a joy to work with. We could not have done this without you. Thank you”

“Dear Jan,
I’ve written this recommendation of your work to share with other Consumers & LinkedIn users. Jan came highly recommended from a friend. She was the third of several designers we spoke to. Immediately we felt comfortable with Jan. We liked how she could quickly focus on the task at hand, how she helped us fill in the blanks, and how she could communicate the vision effectively back to us.
We engaged Jan for a kitchen, family room, powder room, living room and office makeover. The results were wonderful – she provided us with just the right amount of assistance. Later we had her back to stage the living room. Wow, she accomplished in 2 hours what we could never have done. To watch her move items we already owned and transform the space was amazing.”

“Jan helped my husband and I have the courage to build our country dream house. Jan took the mystique out of the process by helping my husband and I make our own choices. Her questionnaires and computer generated floor plans were practical and easy to understand. Jan helped us visually walk through every aspect of the house as if we were living in it. With her guidance we were able to combine our personal styles to create a home that was unique and pleasing to both of us. Jan’s good sense of humour, interpersonal skills and experience kept the process enjoyable. We called her our ‘design mediator’.
Jan always looked for innovative and cost-effective ways to produce a high-quality interior look within our budget. She saw potential costly problems before they came up and made changes when necessary.
She provided us with a variety of products and colours all within our price range and showed us how colour and design made the difference in the overall look and feel of the house. When the house was complete, Jan continued to help us. Jan showed us how to incorporate some of our sentimental treasures with new furniture and accessories for our home.

“We have known Jan Addams for more than ten years starting when she lived in Calgary. Jan first helped us with a basement renovation which to this day we still love. Most recently, we decided to renovate our 30 year old kitchen/family room and turned to Jan for her expertise. She has an outstanding knowledge of the planning and design of a room. From selecting kitchen cabinets, lighting and plumbing fixtures, wall colour, flooring and carpet, to window treatments and accessories. Jan has the wonderful ability to understand the goals and expectations of her clients and to deliver what is right for their lifestyle.
Jan is very easy to work with. She is knowledgeable, creative, competent and very professional. The most amazing thing is that we did the entire project remotely, through emails, phone calls and photos. On a recent visit to Calgary, Jan saw the finished project for the first time. We think she was impressed at how beautiful it turned out! We would definitely have Jan work on any future projects and have enthusiastically recommended her services to others without reservation.
