Irene at Design Happens was recently recommended to me by the painting company I hired to help with my colour selection. I am so pleased with her and her recommendations. She was always readily available and happy to help me with any and all questions I asked. She is personable, professional and a very talented designer. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking to create a beautiful and fabulous space! Thank you Irene!

We were renovating the exterior of our house and Irene helped us pick the colors. She is absolutely amazing. She knew exactly what we wanted and she made a couple trips out to ensure we were still happy with our choices. She is very good at what she does and you just have to trust what she says. We will definitely be using her again for future projects.

Detailed, Knowledge and Educational. These are just some of the words that come to mind based on my experience with Design Happens.As the manager of a painting company I can admit I thought i knew color until working with the team at Design Happens. These guys really consider all aspects before designing the interior or exterior of your home. The 20 + years of experience is evident when I see the teams visions come to life. Both our teams and our clients are always exceptionally impressed by the level of professionalism, transparency and knowledge that this company bring when its time to reshape and style your home.Great Value and Great Quality service

I have worked with Design Happens for 6 years and would highly recommend Irene and her team for all your color, design and window covering needs. They are extremely knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Irene Fraser of Design Happens was very highly recommended to us by a homeowner in our Strata complex whose previous Heritage Home's exterior she had decorated to high acclaim.We are a Strata of more than 100 single storey homes preparing for exterior painting & wanting to make some gentle change acceptable to our homeowners, particularly those who wanted little or no change. Enter Irene Fraser who did not disappoint! Irene has an excellent eye & understanding of colour, very confident in her choices; up to date but does not insist on following current trends; understands owners' fear of change and importance of giving owners what it is THEY want; willing to answer numerous questions immediately they are asked. In very short order Irene came up with suggested colour palettes with explanation of why they would work well for us, one of which hit the nail on the head!If you are looking for a designer/decorator, I happily recommend Irene Fraser who you will find capable, amiable, very highly educated - including a BA in Interior Design & Liberal Arts & who will make recommendations of timeless colour choices to suit your needs. I know I will be calling Irene of Design Happens when I again want to decorate my home.Norma, Strata Painting committee

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Irene and Eileen from Design Happens. Irene helped us select paint colors and lighting fixtures for the entire house, and Eileen had all our window treatments replaced with new ones. Both ladies are very professional, knowledgeable, reliable, personable, considerate and good listeners. The end result has been excellent! The drapes, roller shades and blinds recommended by Eileen have transformed our house. We would definitely recommend Irene and Eileen for any interior design and window treatments projects.

Irene is knowledgeable, practical and extremely professional. I value her insight and would not hesitate to recommend Design Happens or use her expertise for future projects.
