Heidi Palena

FOUNDER | PRINCIPAL DESIGNER

With years of experience in redesigning kitchens, bathrooms, vacation rentals, and furnishings, I am passionate about bringing your unique style to life through thoughtful design and curated elements.

As a former financial advisor, I understand the importance of investing wisely in your home. My experience in both finance and interior design has given me a keen eye for creating spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also financially sound. I believe in smart design choices that capture the long-term return on investment, and I guide my clients throughout the process.

When designing a space, my aim is to blend my hand-selected items with your treasured possessions, creating a luxurious and personalized environment. Whether you need help redesigning your kitchen or bathroom, furnishing your home, or creating a beautiful vacation rental, I am here to help you achieve your goals.

As a mother of two and an auntie to two extra teens in my home, I understand the importance of creating a space that works for your family's individual and changing needs. I draw on my personal experience customizing my own home through remodels and creative space planning to provide a unique perspective on maximizing comfort and functionality throughout life's stages.

If you're ready to turn your design vision into a reality, let's schedule a design discovery call and explore how I can help you transform your space into a beautiful and functional oasis.

“When we decided to update the whole house, I knew I would need a professional decorator. By a stroke of luck I met Heidi. From the first moment I knew I was in good hands. Heidi has great vision as well as great insight. I did not know exactly what I wanted and yet everything Heidi suggested was absolutely perfect for me and the overall look of the house. She was helpful with every single step of the process and made it all painless. I love my new home and love to show it off. All my guests are amazed at the transformation and ask for Heidi's card. I cannot say enough good things about Heidi.”

“Heidi just finished a medispa build out for us in north Vancouver. She was on site measuring and appreciating the space well before anyone else and took measurements to always be precise in the information as the plan was evolving. She was often the only one who we could trust had thought carefully through a proposal before we would meet to discuss it. Heidi was constantly in touch by text or call and took time to address our concerns very quickly, no matter what she had going with other jobs. Heidi was able to handle communications with many contractors that were a bit challenging. She helped us stay within our budget. She is also knowledgeable in terms of the scopes of each aspect (e.g. electrical, cabinetry, plumbing, etc.) which helped the job flow and our understanding of how things could get accomplished. Our job in particular was delayed by Clark County permitting, the previous tenants not getting out on schedule and other road bump which are expected. She helped to expedite whenever possible. Heidi is very skilled in finding just the right finishes and is quickly on the hunt sourcing what is needed to complete each space. She was able to meld the tastes of both my business partner and mine (though we are almost 20 years apart in age) and the result is stunning and we are happy and comfortable with no regrets. We are fortunate to now have a long term relationship with Heidi, since I feel once we are her clients, she will always have us in the back of her mind with some of her good ideas for our space. She is fantastic.”
