I have watched Jil Sonia Interiors create amazing spaces and designs for over 11 years now. So naturally when I recently purchased my condo in Vancouver, there was no hesitation who I wanted to work with to conceptualize my dream home. Jil’s vast knowledge of colour and textures helped me choose the perfect combination of paint, tile and flooring that not only complimented each other but also inspired furniture choices. The furniture recommendations made by Jil have been brilliant and uniquely suited to my tastes. I was thrilled to receive mood boards that allowed me to visualize the final outcome. I am extremely excited to move into what will truly be my new “home”. Jil is a true professional with expertise in all aspects of interior design and I highly recommend her services. I hired Jil Sonia Interior Designs to do a lighting plan for my 900 sq. ft. apartment. I had been trying, to find a lighting designer but either my job is too small or the New York semi-designers are...difficult. I have been working with Jil Sonia Interiors for over a year now.

Interior Design Jil Sonia McDonald offers her insight into the Design Trends for 2022!
I came to Jil Sonia Interior Designs after seeing her name and many awards. I am conducting a condominium renovation in Chilliwack BC. I was new to this and thought it was going to be a daunting task, as I did not live in the area. She took the bull by the horns, hired the contractors and ordered the building materials for me. This proved to be a lot less stressful than I thought it would be. She is very organized and is very willing to work with you, tuning into your tastes very quickly, as well as replying back to you immediately with any questions you may have. Thank you, Jil!" I hired Jil Sonia Interior Designs to give me advice on redecorating and I found her to be not only helpful but vitally needed. Whew! If Jil didn't help me, I could have spent a lot of money on something completely unnecessary and not even desirable! I am totally admiring the colours and interior design in my home. Thank you Jil from the bottom of my heart for making my home so gorgeous!" Jil's interior design expertise gave us the support we needed to feel comfortable to move through the conceptual interior design stages, on to completion. She is very knowledgeable, responds back to us quickly and is a great communicator. We were thrilled to have her work with us. Paint colour recommendations for interior painting: Jil is professional, easy to work with, organized, and is really nice too! Jil made recommendations that were price sensitive, I was considering a new kitchen countertop and Jil didn't feel it was necessary. She was right - the existing countertop looks great with the changes we made. Jil made significant interior design updates making our home feel fresh and like it truly belongs to us." I contracted Jil Sonia Interior Designs for an interior decoration project for my wife. Jil didn't make me feel undervalued with a lower budget. Everything she helped me pick was amazing. She kept me informed and listened to my input. I went back to her to do a bigger project and her designer choices and help once again were invaluable!" This review is a long time coming! I have not only worked with Jil Sonia Interiors professionally, I have also worked with her on two projects of my own. In my profession, I work with hundreds of designers in the Greater Vancouver area, including the Fraser Valley and Sea to Sky, but only one designer for my home projects! We are so thankful for the opportunity to work with Jil. She has an incredible eye for colour and attention to detail. In a world of poor communication, Jil always made herself available, and best of all she listened and understood our needs, wants, and worked within our budget. Thank you, Jil, we appreciate you! |
