Our Downsizing Process

Initial Call

Every project starts with an initial phone call. During the call, we discuss how you want your home to look and function. We want to understand your vision and ensure our process aligns with your goals.

Then, we schedule a complimentary in-home consultation at your home at a time that works for all household members who will be making the decision.

We recommend that all decision-making members be involved from the beginning so that everyone’s input is taken into consideration.

In-Home Consultation

Our in-home consultation involves a detailed walkthrough of your space to discuss your current setup and future aspirations for each room. We help define the scope of work and establish a design plan tailored to your needs.

Once the scope of work is confirmed, a flat rate design service fee will be quoted. That fee is collected in full before work begins, and we are ready to continue the design process.

We will book a site visit at your new home. During this visit, we will take all the necessary measurements to create detailed floor plans of each room you’d like us to design.

Design & Presentation Phase

During this phase, our designers craft detailed plans, gather samples, and create visual representations to present to you.

Together, we review the concept thoroughly, make any necessary adjustments, and finalize the design elements for your project.

At the presentation and purchasing appointment, we review the complete concept together. After collecting deposits, we order, receive, and prepare all items for delivery.

During this phase, we will provide frequent updates on our progress.

Reveal

Upon completion, our white glove delivery team will deliver and install your custom-designed space. We ensure every detail is meticulously set up, creating a space that reflects your style and exceeds your expectations.

We aim to provide a seamless, delightful design experience that transforms your living space. We place and perfect every detail of our shared vision before welcoming you home.

Our goal at CPI Interiors is for you to have an effortless and fulfilling design experience so that you can focus on the enjoyable aspects of the process. With your trust, our team will create personalized solutions for all your design dilemmas and transform your home into somewhere you love to live.

What Our Clients Say

Our entire house is a tribute to Catherine. She has decorated/furnished our entire home over a period of approx. eight years and it is nothing less than a WOW! We are not understated people and Catherine has risen to every challenge along the way to making our home outstanding. The compliments we continue to receive are endless.

~ Harriet and Meredith Staples, Kanata

Working with Nicole made the design process easier for me. Her expert opinions saved me time and effort. Nicole’s thoroughly analyzed our bungalow house layout, personal tastes, and lifestyle to create a one-of-a-kind design plan suited precisely to our needs. Her knowledge enabled to give us insights, suggestions and innovative ideas, with a selection of materials and finishes that would complement the overall appearance and feel of our main living spaces.

The best part of using Nicole’s services addressed our functional needs for our growing family. She ensured that the job was well done on a set budget with top quality! The floor plan, the furniture and fixtures gave the house a balance and appealing look. Thank you so much Nicole for making the design process so enjoyable!

We enjoyed the experience of working with Marina to reimagine and renovate our living room. Marina’s holistic concepts and design ideas set us on a strong direction. We appreciated Marina’s ability to listen and to reflect our ideas in the plan. Marina’s bold colour plan made the design particularly interesting and appealing.

The quality of the work produced by the subcontractors that Marina employed was excellent. There was clear communication on scheduling or plan alterations during the construction process.

~ Bruce Smith and Frances Roberts, Ottawa

Natalie was a DREAM to work with – we get compliments every time we have visitors and I’m always so excited to tell them how amazing it was to work with her. We saved so much money in the end by not taking time off of our work days to shop for a million hours, and then returning and exchanging a bunch of stuff that didn’t work, and waiting for new stuff. If you or someone you know is looking for a facelift for their house or office space, you must reach out to Natalie Cox. You will be so glad you did! She does everything from just furniture and decor, to full on bathroom and kitchen renos. Thanks Nat!!
