Charlene and her team far exceeded my expectations for our home renovation. I walked into my home after the staging and was at a loss for words. I totally feel in love with every item and the attention to every detail was exceptional. Thanks so much for everything - I can't wait to show of my new digs!

We absolutely loved the home we bought, but it didn't feel quite like us. We knew we need a professional to create what we desired and Fresco Interiors brought our vision to life! The spaces they designed fit beautifully in the rest of our home and added the vibe we had hoped all while incorporating the functionality we needed. We were so impressed!

We hired Charlene and her team for a relatively small job - to refurnish the living and dining area in our house. Charlene provided a lot of options and had shared good advice around colours and fabrics. She kept in touch through the process and everything was very organized. Even though I had agreed on all of the pieces, Charlene and her team pulled everything together and the end result was a fantastic surprise. I have used interior decorators in the past and been satisfied. My experience with Charlene and her team was pure delight. My family will enjoy this new space for years to come. I highly

Charlene and her team have created a beautiful space and worked within my budget. They took the time to review our house plan, make suggestions, edits, and accommodated on site meetings throughout our build. The Fresco team assisted with staging and making it a livable and stylish home upon completion. Charlenes knowledge and style, combined with timely replies made it a fantastic experience! I highly recommend their services!

Kitchen Renovation Design Plan
Charlene and her design team's goal was to create an updated kitchen renovation design plan that I would love. They presented several different floor plan options for my consideration. It was obvious that they put in a lot of thought that would ultimately improve the function and flow of my kitchen while making it modern and beautiful. The Fresco design team was courteous, professional and a pleasure to work with. If anyone is looking for a thoughtful, creative and a thorough design approach to update their kitchen, Fresco Interiors is an awesome option to consider
