Interior Design for New Home Construction in Greater Vancouver
New residential construction is relentless in the BC Lower Mainland. Home builders scramble to keep up with buyer and investor demand from across the province, country, continent, and overseas.
A significant percentage of these perpetual new builds are slated for the luxury market. Vancouver consistently leads all other metropolises in Canada in volume of new luxury homes sold, with Toronto trailing and other markets (i.e. Montreal) not even coming close.
Parallel to this petition for high-end real estate, is a demand for interior design for new build homes in Vancouver’s luxury space. Buyers are investing heavily in these properties, and want their interiors to merge with the aesthetic and functional prestige of the homes. As such, developers are expected to consult with interior design firms that specialize in single family interior design.
When to Bring in an Interior DesignER for Your New Home Build
There are some builders who mistakenly assume that an interior designer’s job doesn’t begin until the home is completed or ready for pre-sale staging. They may not understand the distinction between a design and a decorator. Thankfully, you do, which is why you’re searching for interior design for new home construction in Vancouver.
So when do you bring in our services? Right away.
Hiring an interior designer in the pre-construction phase typically saves everyone involved both time and money. An interior designer should be a part of the planning process, and can impact decisions that range from ceiling height to outlet placement and more.

It is critical to the success of detached home builds to work with an interior designer concurrently throughout construction.
