## About
Simply Home Decorating delivers style and ease to busy families who want to make the most of their homes whether they are spacious modern new-builds, well-loved 1950’s gems or something in between. I’m Lori Steeves, Founder and Creative Director of Simply Home Decorating, a boutique Interior Design Firm based in North Vancouver, British Columbia. My passion is uncovering hidden potential, transforming clients’ homes into refined, collected and enduring spaces that they love. I believe in the magic of GREAT design, the beauty and ease that comes from every detail being carefully considered, and I strive to bring that to every project. Having moved many times over the years, I appreciate all that it takes to make a home. I’ve honed a creative process that starts with listening, hearing what you want, understanding what you need and using what I discover to create the perfect backdrop for your life. I understand that you can’t always keep food out of the family room and your dog off the sofa - because I live this reality daily - and that’s why we specialize in decorating and renovating liveable family friendly & pet friendly homes where you will be proud to host your family and friends. Having completed 11 personal home renovation projects in the past 20 years I have a heightened appreciation of what my clients’ are going through and I think that makes me a better, more sensitive designer. So if you’ve just moved into a new home, if your rooms are dated or feel unfinished, if you’re ready to invest in your experience of home, contact us. We can help.

## Before you hire an interior designer
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
