Reviews of Louis Duncan-He Designs (Interior Designer)

Peter Harris

Louis turned our comfortable but worn home into an extraordinary space to live. From early ideas to finishing touches, he was fun to work with and terrific at balancing his creative vision with our expectations and (sometimes questionable?) instincts. He easily incorporated changes over the course of the project and we now have a stunning home thanks to his hard work, creativity and dedication to making it all so beautiful. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Louis and are thrilled with the results. Louis was highly recommended to us by several friends. I really appreciated his detailed project management and transparent fee structures. I always knew exactly how much I was paying for his time as well as for trades and products. We saved a substantial amount of money when he passed along his designer discounts to us, so this made his already reasonable fees even more affordable. He spent a lot of time understanding our style and what we were looking for. I really enjoyed being involved in the design process, making suggestions, and making a lot of my own selections. Louis worked with my ideas very smoothly and would incorporate my good ideas while gently pointing out the issues for me to consider with my not-so-good ideas. Our goals for the project were to refresh our main level and to completely redo our preteen son's room. He did a great job working with our son and making sure that he captured his personality and style in his bedroom. I love that the choices made for our main level really allowed our existing pieces to mix seamlessly with the new pieces. Everything flows together beautifully. We didn't realize our house could look this good.

Hiring Louis was one of the best decisions we made to ensure our new home looked amazing with minimal effort on our end, while still suiting our style and life perfectly. We managed to move into our newly built home and have it look completely polished with photos and art on every wall and all the finishing touches done within a month of moving in. This was priceless. No one can believe how put together our home looks when we only moved in months ago. It would have taken years to get it to this stage on our own and even still it wouldn't have looked nearly as good.

Louis was great to work with! He worked closely with us to ensure that he was providing us exactly what we were looking for, even though we had no idea what we even wanted. Louis was very detailed in his approach in finding out our likes, dislikes and even managed to blend my husband and my two very different styles to ensure the final product suited us perfectly. Louis was able to incorporate pieces that we already owned and came in under budget and even did a few updates in other areas that we weren’t focused on! He was able to modernize our home while making it inviting and comfortable, exactly what we were looking to do. I can’t wait to work with him again on future refreshes in our home!

Louis was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were in the process of building a new home when we hired him, and we were definitely in over our heads. He worked with us throughout the build and our move to ensure that our vision was met. He made the entire process so easy and fun at the same time. He is so professional in all that he does, and his design and decor ideas are phenomenal. He got to know our family well, and ensured that he brought our ideas and personalities to our new home, all the while making it beautiful and functional. Our home is more beautiful than I could even have imagined! He even came in way under budget somehow, even though we ended up buying more than we had initially planned for! Louis is so talented, personable and so much fun to work with. I would not hesitate to hire him again. In fact, I have...and I have recommended him to many friends as well.

We are working with Louis for years. It is really hard to find someone so organized and so hard working like Louis. He is so is kind, knowledgable and professional. His eye for detail and service is exceptional. His Trades are top notch and i would recommend him to my friends any time.

After a decade in our home, I was looking for a refresh of our main floor space that closely reflected our style. I had studied Louis’s website and directly spoken with his previous clients, both were unanimously in their recommendation. Once I met Louis, I noticed careful interviewing to identify my style; analysis of current elements in my space that reflected my taste; acknowledgement of how the space must meet our needs; and then constructed his design proposals working with objects we already had while considering the individuals in the family. Louis proposed pieces I would have not considered plus was supportive in my personal design choices that captured my attention but uncertain in how it would work out. In the end, we have a stylish space that defines our personality where we can comfortably rest in at the end of the day without feeling out of place. To cap it all off, he stayed well within budget!

After almost ten years in our home, we decided to do a refresh. Louis did a fantastic job of helping us find our style, an impressive feat as we had difficulties describing our style to him! He is incredibly talented, cost conscious and fun. I would highly recommend Louis for any design project, he is adaptable to all budgets and styles. We are absolutely thrilled with the end product. Our refreshed home reflects who we are as a family and is even more beautiful and warm.

We recently built a brand new home which we love. The next step of decorating/designing made me realize I had bitten off more than I could chew! From our first meeting, Louis was able to put my ideas and visions into words and materialize it into an incredible reality. He kept the modern feel of our home while adding a sense of family, warmth, and love. We couldn't be happier with the results. And my 16mo old loves his comfortable chic play areas too :)

"Recently, I had the opportunity to work with Louis finishing the main living area of my home. I was very impressed with his ability to provide different design options while staying on budget. He listened to my design ideas and provided recommendations which led to bolder colours and a better design than I would have chosen on my own. Louis exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend him for any project in your home."

I don't think I even realized how much our house could be improved until Louis worked his magic. It is so warm and inviting, while also being clean and structured. He spent a lot of his time getting to know our taste, and made sure we had lots of options and input throughout. And as promised, stayed well within budget. Could not be happier!

Louis takes the time to understand your personal style and has a talent in amalgamating a variety of themes resulting in a space that is reflective of your personality. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and his essence is infectious. I would highly recommend him!

Upon moving into a new townhouse I wanted to make my home feel fresh, inviting, and a sanctuary I could come home to at the end of a busy day, but like many I struggled with knowing where to begin and found the idea of decorating a new space a daunting task. Eliciting Louis's help was the best decision I have ever made! Louis brilliantly combined my style and the things I love to make my home the perfect reflection of me. And the best part about the entire process was how FUN it was to work with Louis! Louis is an inspiring and phenomenal person in his decorating as well as in other projects he is passionate about, such as the advocacy he does as the National Director of Marketing for PFLAG Canada. I am so grateful to Louis for making my home feel like an oasis and even more blessed to have made such a genuine and inspiring friend in the process. Louis can change your home and your life, do not hesitate to hire him!

Louis is one of the most organized, professional and talented people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He was instrumental in making our dream home come to be just that, and went above and beyond to guide the project from start to finish. When we did a major renovation on our house, he worked with us to make sure everything was how it should be, and even kept our contractor accountable. Meeting with him and seeing his work never disappointed, not even once, which is huge given the scope of our project.
