We hired Heidi to rethink the kitchen at the cottage, and can't say enough good things about our experience and highly recommend her services. Heidi is truly great at what she does, from the onset, you will feel that she is listening carefully to your ideas and will work with you towards that vision while adding her professional opinions and guidance.

Before meeting Heidi, Id had consultations with other designers trying to figure out how to improve my space. They gave me ideas but I got overwhelmed with the logistics and the choices within 2 mins of them leaving. Heidi explained the process clearly, provided me with enough options that I could make clear choices and she dealt with all the logistics. She made the process easy for me. She listened to my likes and dislikes and came up with the best design for me. Years later Im still thrilled with the results. Best of all, I didnt get overwhelmed once. I will surely go to her again when

It's about money. If you walk into your restaurant every day and look around wondering about what you would like to change to bring people in; if you see only the things that people have complained about every time you pass them; if you think it's finally time to invest in your interior and bring your place up to date, up to trend, and into the glossy magazines, I recommend you call Urbanomic Interiors.
